WPKG redirect, WPKG redirect virus

Mac OSX 10.9.5


Recently my chrome has started redirecting to wpkg.org for most websites, and there is no back button. I have heard of this wpkg redirect virus on windows and know software that can remove it, however on a mac, my anti-virus cannot detect the virus and i can't remove it. Are there any solutions? manual removal? thanks

MacBook Pro, Other OS, No OS installed

Hi,


I have been having this problem all morning. I have found a fix here: http://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/33wpk3/anyone_else_almost_all_websites_in _both_chrome


Check out like45ninjas' response. Use an Adblocker extension in your web browser and block the following urls:

I recommend clearing your browser cache and restarting your Mac before checking if it is fixed.


Has worked for me so far.
