how to remove http://adultcameras.info popup from safari. I am using Safari on my MAC book.

Not working at all

The solution above worked for me.

Aside from blocking all the cookies, data, images from adultcameras.info, I did a factory reset on my router. I also changed the SSID name and password.

It's been more than 2 weeks now and that annoying popup has not appeared back.

I tried changing the wifi name and password... problem still exist

Not working at all, although the blocked url(adulcameras.info)is not loading anymore due etc/hosts blocking, clearly the threat(which is the redirection) is still present.

- router reset already with new name and password

We need to find the right solution.

I had the same problem after installing yosemite.

I changed the DNS-Server.

No popups so far.

If your network hardware has been hacked, that's not really going to solve the problem. First, you may need to identify which device is the problem... many people may have both a cable/DSL modem and one or more wireless routers. In such a case, it could be the modem, but people often don't think to check that.

Once you've found the problem device, at a minimum you need to reset the router to factory defaults, and that may not work for all routers.

Just to be clear, this problem would not have had anything to do with installing Yosemite.

I also have got the same problem in my Chrome browser.. There are many solutions and videos on Youtube for windows users but I couldn't find anything for Mac users... There is no video on youtube to show how to remove this (..) from my Macbook !!!

The only thing that I have done is going to Chrome settings> Privacy> Content Settings > Cookies > All cookies and site data > the search for adult camera and delete the relevant cookies...

Not sure if it works or NOT !!!

It is not connected to the particular router at all. I have experienced the same problem on different locations, different routers - office, home, when traveling. Tried everything, nothing works. Installed AdBlock and Block Site, so at least it is opening the Block Site warning.

I just moved to South Africa, and the first time I opened my laptop I got this nasty Adult Cameras website CONSTANTLY popping up.

I've been doing everything discussed, suggested, thought through--resetting the router completely, reseting my laptop to an earlier date, going into the terminal and programming the site to be permanently blocked, flushing out the cache cookies--and nothing, NOTHING seems to be working...

There was hope when resetting the router, it was gone for a day. But when I opened up Spotify just now, AdultCameras came back up.

The pain is real.

Since the problem happened the instant you connected your Mac to the new network, it should be obvious that that is the problem. (Moving to South Africa can't infect your Mac with malware or adware.) Something about your network is causing the problem, but that's probably something you'll need to talk to your internet service provider about, from the sounds of it.

I made a youtube tutorial - Maybe this could help for the Mac users... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGNfXeJMCbA

The effort to help is appreciated. However, there are some problems with this video.

First, the instructions only apply to a specific router. Procedures for resetting other routers to factory defaults will vary. Further, this is not adequate to fix all hacked routers. Some may require additional measures. The best step is to contact the manufacturer of your router for help fixing it. You may even need to install some third-party router firmware, like DD-WRT.

Second, it may not be the wireless router that is the problem. Many network setups have a cable or DSL modem provided by the internet service provider, and that device is managing the network, not any wireless routers that may have been added to the network. In that case, the modem is the likely culprit, and the internet service provider will probably need to be involved in the solution.

For more information on these points, see:

Third, you should not advise editing the hosts file! At best, this will simply cover up the symptoms of the problem, without solving the underlying issue. At worst, messing with the hosts file could break your network connectivity in weird ways that you may discover much later, after you've forgotten about the hosts file modifications.

If resetting the network hardware doesn't fix the problem, even with assistance from the manufacturer and/or ISP, then there may be adware involved. In that case, see my Adware Removal Guide.

Well at least it worked for me... 🙂 Also I have tried those things before I tried these... In short, there's no permanent fix or official solution yet. Thanks though for replying!
