when i open the safari i see this ads. i do not know how to delete this ads on my computer.? i did not install any of ilivid programs. is there any one can help me?
MacBook Pro, OS X Server
I think that's just your home page. Go to Safari / Preferences / General and set the home page to whatever you want it to be.
no some times a small video player appear at the rigth bottom of webpage. it has "hide/open ad" options.
See if it's listed in Safari / Preferences / Extensions. Delete it there if so.
I foun dthis -> http://www.ilivid.com/faq.htm#uninstall - but it looks as if it's uninstall instructions for Windows. You may have the extension in your Internet Plug-ins, etc. Download the free "EasyFind" from the Mac App Store and search your hard drive for ilivid.
It looks as though it's meant to be a 'download' manager, amongst other things. It's certainly nothing that you need.

sometimes like this.
you know a program which provide oportunity for delete malware on macbook? I think the ads problem about malware.
It's not malware - closer to 'adware'... have you downloaded "EasyFind" and searched your hard drive for ilivid?
Clinton
yes, i downloaded, and searched it but all i founded is history in safari. no more.
The uninstall link wasn't very informative. Basically what it suggested was simply changing your home page. Have you tried that (as was mentioned earlier)?
Clinton
no, but it happens the other page. not only homepage.
You may have installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
