How To Remove Cdn.w55c.net

Sorry, Thomas.

I hadn't seen your reply in May, I don't think. I haven't been getting emails for replies-frustrating.

But I got the one for your reply today!

I read the link on troubleshooting the wireless router with my mac.

I don't think this applies to my problem:

• This only happens when I use Safari, not any other browser
• It happens when I use other networks, as when we go camping
• This all started when I tried to download 'weatherbug', a download I've found is frought with awful malware. It changed my Safari preferences, changing my homepage and a few other things (can't remember now-I've been living with this for a while). At the same time the pop-up to open Cdn.w55c.net started.

So, it seems this problem is only related to my Safari.

Why wouldn't a new puter solve this for me if it's not my router/network?

I appreciate your time and thoughts on this. But I don't think that's the problem.

Surely there are others with this curse!

Nope.

I had thought of deleting Safari and downloading a new Safari but you cannot delete Safari! Unbelievable.

I've decided to just endure it until I can get a new puter next year.😠

This is just horrible. While typing this reply the window for that site came up twice so far. Argh!!!!!

Here's the system snapshot:

(I also tried to remove the malware again-to no avail.)

One more thing.

When I did the scan to look for malware using Malwarebytes Antimalware, I got this message:

There was a problem connecting to the server "idisk.mac.com".

The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the werver name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.

My network is working fine. I don't understand what this means.

Sorry, just haven't had time to do this and it's something I've never done.

Guess I shouldn't worry about losing my data when I do this?

I'll try it tomorrow after backing up my most important stuff.

Thank you so much for your help in this.

Funny, yesterday this popup came up just about every 5 minutes. Today I don't think I've seen it…Strange.

Ok, I did the safe start up.

Then I did the safe Safari start up as well.

That was this morning after a few popups started.

Now, there have been no popups!

I'll not be sure until it doesn't happen for a week! But so far so good!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'll be back if they resume...

I did the safe start up and then the safe Safari start too. So far no popups!

I will be back though if they start up again. Thanks so much for your suggestion.
