My macbook just got infected and pop-up a lot of things that says powered by macvx. That is so annoying and I kinda mad too seeing those thing blocking my web content. Please help me solve this.
For Apple I would recommend them to design their new Yosemite OS with better protection from those malware that infected through internet.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
You installed the "VidX" trojan, perhaps under a different name. To remove it, first open the Applications folder by selecting
Go ▹ Applications
from the Finder menu bar, or by pressing the key combination shift-command-A. Look for an item named "VidX," "MacVx," or similar. If present, drag it to the Trash and empty.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extension you don't know you need. If in doubt, remove all of them. You may well have more than one that's adware or spyware.
If you have google chrome, Click on the Window tab... Extensions... look for MacVx... trash it.
Thank you!
I have this problem too. Should I get my computer checked for other viruses or whatever?
You ROCK!!! I've been trying to fix this all day!!!
I found a youtube video that walked me through removal at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR7XDIFMSek. The only difference is the malware was installed on my mac as "macfest". It's amazing that people put time and effort into annoying you to try and get you to buy their products. I haven't and will not buy from these malware ads.
How can I remove ads from macvx on makbook pro?
