I notice that you marked this as solved. Quick question: did you use AdwareMedic to remove the adware that was causing the problem? If so, what adware was found? I'm the author of AdwareMedic, and I've never heard of Fliporia before, so I'm curious which adware was responsible.
If you don't remember, go to AdwareMedic and choose Open Log File from the Scanner menu in the menu bar. In that log file, look for lines looking like this:
2015-07-01 13:56:14: ----- Scan Started ----- 2015-07-01 13:56:14: Scanning with signatures version 84 2015-07-01 13:56:16: ListenToYouTube : /Library/LaunchDaemons/7nmEoOZmFhg.plist 2015-07-01 13:56:16: ListenToYouTube : /Library/Application Support/ListenToYoutube 2015-07-01 13:56:16: ----- Scan Ended -----
The name of the adware detected in the above case was "ListenToYouTube." What name or names are found in your log file?
Thanks in advance for any response!

Thanks for developing such a great product.
I suspected as much. There have been a LOT of new variants of Genieo appearing in the last few weeks.
