How do I remove cloudfront?

However, the problem returned within hours. I have not got rid of Cloudfront and I am still getting 50-60 new cookies an hour. I am not a happy camper. I have installed Ghostery, I have everything turned on and blocked out and still unwanted cookies are appearing. I am now tweeting direct to the companies to find out how to stop it, and one is engaging with me (to their credit), they can't understand it either.

I am not a techie - I am just an ordinary person trying to live life quietly.

I laid out the problem above:

It appears to originate from Amazon, but it was not something I asked for, signed up to, or requested.

Its effects were:

1. Directed to an ad site on every new tab opening - some of those were betting sites and dubious "you have won million dollars" type-sites;
2. Could no longer connect to tabs/links in my emails - this meant that I had difficulty, for example, changing my Apple ID or making any connection from email to a website (this was the most irritating);
3. Created endless surplus cookies;
4. Considerably slowed down my mac.

After I ran the programme recommended by Carolyn above, the first two of these stopped.

I cleared all my history, all my cookies, emptied my trash, and then deliberately DID NOT visit any Amazon website to see if they reappeared. They did. That is: Cloudfront, AmazonAWS, georiot and some others. I have my settings on cookies to only come from websites I visit, but this does not seem to work.

Amazon refuse deal with me by email or chat, & I don't see why I should waste hundreds of Euro to phone them.

Any ideas on how to stop it?

Carolyn Samit has replied to this, (why it is not showing, I don't know). The delete-the-files method doesn't work as the files do not appear in the library, or I can't access the library, so cannot delete. I have downloaded the software recommended, but it is not loading.... So I am still stuck.

Okay - I used the recommended Adware Medic from the Apple support site, and it has worked. My Macbook Air is back to normal.

If that was adware, it certainly behaved like malware. I do use Amazon, but certainly did not ask for that "service". Its effects were:

Carolyn warned me to make sure Mac App Store and identified developers is selected in SystemPreferences > Security & Privacy > General

Which I double checked and it was on the correct setting. Which tells me that Apple allowed that particular programme to run. If you just google: How do I get rid of Cloudfront you will find many, many people complaining about it, I just didn't trust the solutions.

Anyway, thanks guys! Problem solved.

The manual method doesn't work Carolyn, because the files do not appear. When I put in: /System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework

it just says "file not found".

I do mind. The problem is NOT solved. It is partially alleviated. I am still infested with mal/adware from Cloudfront that I did NOT request, and cannot appear to block.

Advice gratefully received.

This is what Cloudfront is, and I am still not fully rid of it:

At least this link does explain what has happened to me!

Unfortunately they don't tell me how to get rid of it from Safari on an Apple Mac, which is why I am here.
