Hello everyone .. I would like to ask if the adwaremedic program is the safest way to remove adware from the mac. Lately I m having some pop up advertisements from a specific site called mac keeper. I have no idea how this ad came up since I am not downloading torrents nor visiting any suspicious site .
So is this the only way to permanently remove the adware? Is it safe , since this is a third party program? Thanks in advance everyone
No, but install it in Safari and let it do all searching and do not uncheck any function it has and you have a DDG browser.
I realise that a DDG browsing experience may be a bit too much of all the good 👿.
Lex
Thanks Lex, I set it as default. Made a few searches. I'm loving that it brings up only relevant websites to the search criteria! lol

You have a pretty clean system. There's no adware there. Your problem is caused by something else. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/unsolved.php
(Fair disclosure: I may receive compensation from links to my sites, TheSafeMac.com and AdwareMedic.com.)
Your problem, whatever it is, is not related to the one that was being discussed here. The right way to get help on this site is not to post a comment in a discussion started by someone else months ago. Nor should you post a diagnostic test that no one asked for, without a description of the problem. That particular test should never be used unless requested by me.
Search the site for answered questions similar to yours, and if you don't find a solution that way, start your own discussion with a full description of the problem and whatever you've already done to try to solve it. You'll have as much chance as anyone else of getting a useful response.

You may ignore this comment:
That particular test should never be used unless requested by me.
No one has the right to instruct posters not to use a test unless asked for by Mr. Davis.
That is ridiculous.
And AdwareMedic is a great tool, developed by Thomas R. Reed.
I should add that the reason why you should not run that test (which, of course, I wrote myself, for my own use) unless I ask for it is that you may get comments from people who don't know what it does or what to do with the results. No one has the right to instruct posters to ignore what I say about my own test.
OK, I did run that test because ,I thought ,from reading the thread, I have similar problem.I had a 1 week old macbook air and did opened a link from FB posted by a friend and kept getting pop-ups and a messages from my mac about being infected by adware/malware and have to call this number urgently .(I have tried adawremedic before in a similar problem and the adware seems to overcome it,have to take it to apple store and the supervisor,chief tech spend 1 hour to remove that,in a different laptop ).
Did not open a knew post because of time factor(heading in few hours overseas where I have no access to apple stuff( a country in africa that is sanctioned by US and have to use VPN to access apple store/I tunes,etc), beside I felt If I have the same issues why duplicating posts.
I did not knew that the test is a personal property,is it?.I thought this a common form where common people can get help and share knowledge.
Anyway, I I have few hours left and will try adwaremedic now or through VPN.

That doesn't sound like something that is typically caused by adware, and as such, it's unlikely that AdwareMedic or any other adware removal instructions will help. What you describe sounds like a tech support scam. See:
(Fair disclosure: I may receive compensation from links to my sites, TheSafeMac.com and AdwareMedic.com.)
I did not knew that the test is a personal property,is it?.I thought this a common form where common people can get help and share knowledge.
Yes, that's the intent of the site, and Linc really doesn't have any right to tell you that you can't run his script. He's publishing it freely, over and over on this site, as open-source code. I'm sure that there are copyright laws controlling your ability to copy, modify and republish his script (I'm no lawyer, of course), but there's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to run his script whenever you like, and do whatever you like with the output. If he wishes otherwise, he would need to package the script with a license agreement dictating how it is to be used.
Contrary to what he says, he's not the only person capable of understanding the output of his script.
I did not knew that the test is a personal property,is it?
Yes, it is. Almost everything that is published anywhere is owned by someone. You own your comments on this site, and I own mine.
Strangely, other people seem to think, not only that they understand the results of the test, but also that they can speak for me in telling you what your rights to it are. You can, of course, run the test without permission from me or anyone else. I never said you could not. I said you should not, or at least, you should not post the results here, because I don't want to be morally responsible, even indirectly, for the consequences.
I made the stupid mistake today of somehow installing this mackeeper adware. In a panic I found AdwareMedic, and yes, as you guessed, I was also wary about installing it, thinking I was fighting fire with fire. But then I found this discussion. I downloaded your software, ran it, and now, am back to being a happy camper with my clean Mac. Thank you so much! I will definitely donate as my time is worth money and you have just saved me a lot of time. Thanks again. Yes, Adware Medic is safe, and it works! - Elyssa
Yay! Glad you're all sorted now!
And yes, Thomas R. Reed's app AdwareMedic is a real lifesaver!
Glad you found this thread, and his app.
🙂

Linc Davis' script worked exceptionally well! Thank you so much! By the way, I do not in anyway trust an download that was repeatedly advertised to me, while I had the malware on my computer and was looking for solutions. That just seemed sketchy. Plus, I knew there was no need to download more junk when that's what got me into this mess in the first place. Linc
Davis, you are a life saver!!!
Adwaremedic worked like magic , seriously why are there many hesitation on using the software when its given to you free. Doing manually would be an arduous task and could get more complicated , i rather not.
I have no vested interest in the software and this is a bona fide comment, trust me.
Adwaremedic is it safe ?
