When I try to open Google in Safari, I get the https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/
and I cannot open Google. How do I delete whatever is causing the problem?
Thanks,
Lenny
Run the malware removal tool here > The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
Thanks for your reply...
The only Extension I have is Evernote Web Clipper 6.1.3. Could that be the culprit ?
Lenny.
Carolyn,
Thanks for your reply. The Adware Removal Guide seems a bit intimidating. Are
there any risks ?
Lenny.
See: http://thesafemac.com/art. It's a utility that will take care of the process outlined in the removal guide.
Could that be the culprit ?
I don't know. Did you disable it and test?
If there were risks, I wouldn't post the link to the removal tool. It's completely safe and easy. Only takes a few minutes.
Thanks Carolyn...Didn't mean to suggest you'd post a land mine...I should have asked if there was any risk for a novice...sorry
and thanks very much for your help.
Lenny
No problem Lenny and you're welcome 🙂
I haven't tested that script and I don't know what it does.
My opinion is that, when you've already gotten in trouble by downloading something unknown at the behest of a stranger on the Internet, to download another unknown thing at the behest of another stranger is not a move in the right direction. The right direction is to stop downloading unknown things and start protecting yourself by using the computer safely.
Even if the script works, which it might for all I know, you would be getting very much the wrong idea if you think there will always be a deus ex machina fix for malware attacks. There won't be.
