Q: How do i remove SEARCH-QUICK.COM from my Safari 8 in YOSEMITE

Thank you.

Very cool.

It worked :-)

If you are on OS X Yosemite v 10.10.5 then the suggestion of going through the Finder to locate the "v.framework" is as futile as finding a stylish cocktail dress at the Hideous Skirt Convention. Once you are in Safari its best to click on "Safari" up top next to the apple icon then Preferences > General > and delete the URL in the Homepage field. Then close that window and you will be good to go.

That's not going to get rid of the adware that hijacked the browser and caused Safari to recognize that as the homepage.  That's incomplete and frankly dangerous advice to give to someone who needs help removing malware or adware from their hard drive.

Can you then advise on how to find "v.framework" for v10.10.5?

Encountered this problem today. Got this "Search Quick" crap in Safari.

None of the suggestions in this thread helped. There was no "V.framework" file.

The app "Malwarebytes..." didn't help, neither did manual removal of a bunch of files and folders.

However....

I found that the framework and files have changed name. Search for items named "Rodknight..." and delete them. That worked.

Thank you for the instruction. God bless!

Hai...

I just so blessed that Mr. William asking for the thing i was wondering and confused me for a long time and so thank you for you Mr. Thomas who gave a lot of replied. I actually do not understand a bit with your instruction but then i visit your page and now the "search" thing isn't in mac anymore. I solved it. Thank you.

ps. sorry for may bad grammar ^^

Hello everyone.

For all Mac user who face with the problem that the search-quick website always pop up on the first page of safari.

You can fix it easily by these two ways. First, contact to you authorize dealer to reinstall your OS for this method you should backup all your data to the external hardisk first. Second, you click upgrade you OS in apple store that it!!! No need to backup. Let's try this method because I can remove that website from my Mac. I hope that everyone can be solve this problem too Goodluck =)

The Adware-Medic app is now known as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.   I downloaded it and had it scan my files.  It located malware and I followed instructions to delete it.  The malware still appeared.  Then I clicked on the link Malwarebytes Anti-Malware gave in case the malware wasn't gone.  I followed those instructions and the problem is solved, and I'm happy! 

What was happening was that every time I opened a new tab, a webpage claiming to be a search engine appeared.  I got this problem this from using an online "service" to download audio from youtube.

I recommend the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware app.
