A suspicious folder named "Youppes"(?)

Question

A suspicious folder named "Youppes"(?)

A suspicious folder named "Youppes"(?) has suddenly appeared in my applications folder and dumping it in the trash does not eliminate it because it always reappears whenever I restart, etc. I have an older MacBook Pro running 10.9.5. I believe this may be whats slowing my laptop down. Help please.

I also have a second problem: my MacBookPro no longer recognizes my Apple Extreme router even though wifi is working fine. I can no longer print via wifi. Ive already read about "rest printers" but that does not work . Thank you.

OS X Mavericks (10.9), Graphite:10.4/Intel:10.5.8/iPhone4S

Thanks Grant. I used the adware medic an that seems to have removed the "Youppes" I mentioned.

Much adware and malware was found. & removed.

My other problem is just as frustrating, and I know a number of Mac users have been plagued with the

same problem of their laptops suddenly not recognizing their routers.

I have a first generation Apple Extreme and I can no longer print via wifi from my MacBookPro.

(i.e., i have an Epson C120 that i previously could print from remotely). I am receiving wifi just fine

otherwise, but airport utility says "no configured airport base stations have been found'. All our other

Apple/Mac devices DO recognize the AE as such, including my wife's MacAir, two iPhones, and two iMacs,

and my airport utility App on my iPhone says so as well.

If you have any advice or remedy for me to resolve this I would be most grateful. In the meantime,

thanks again for your quick response and expertise. Cheers! Greg in Williamsburg VA.

running at least AirPort Utility 6.3.1 available here?:

AirPort Utility 6.3.1 for Mac

6.3.2 shipped with Mavericks, and current version for Mac is 6.3.5, but requires 10.10 Yosemite.

--------

That said, not being able to administer your Router from your current Mac should have no bearing whatsoever on your Wi-Fi performance through that same Router.

What do you get when you hold down the Option key and click on the Wi-Fi icon in the menubar?

what PHY Mode?

what channel?

what RSSI?

Transmit rate?

How many other networks do you see?

PHY Mode:802.11n

Channel:1 (2.4GHz)

RSSI: -57

Transmit Rate: 130

3 other networks (my neighbors)

PS: I tried installing Airport Utility 6.3.1 but couldn't because 6.3.2 is currently installed,

and I don't know how to override and if its possible to remove it.

Your other numbers look fine, but you are on the slower 2.4 GHz channel, which may mean you are a bit far away from your Router. But speeds look fine.

If you have Airport Utility 6.3.2, you should be able to administer that Router, unless you are on a different subnet. Use

System preferences > Network > Wi-Fi

and what is your Router's IP address,

what is your Mac's IP Address,

and from another Mac or iDevice, what is your Printer's IP Address?
