Browser hijack malware issue

My Mac Book Pro got infected with a browser after I clicked on a fake Flash update. (Fooled. Really stupid of me).


The symptom was that Bing suddenly became my browser.


Used a trial of Bitdefender that found the malware and removed it. It listed the name of the malware, but I didn't write it down. It was geno-something.

I also used Malwarebytes anti malware trial and it found some code and fixed it.


I checked in the thermal using commands suggested in the community here for the Flashback malware and it shows that it is clean.
I changed all of my passwords. I updated Java.


All checks show that it is now removed.


What damage could it have done I wonder? Do I need to worry?

Hi Gjg61:


Try downloading and installing EtreCheck and post the results. http://etrecheck.com/

This will allow us to see if all the adware had been removed.

You will also probably want to remove the BitDefender Antivirus. It will make you computer run very slow.

Posting three copies of the report is rather silly.


Uninstall MacKeeper. It is a known cause of system problems to have MacKeeper installed on a Mac.


Uninstall CleanMyMac2. It is as bad as MacKeeper about corrupting Mac disk drive.


Once you get all of the garbage off of your Mac, run EtreCheck again. This time only post a single cope of the report.

Feb 5, 2016 2:13 PM in response to KimUserName

Sorry, I posted this three times by mistake.


Do you see a problem?


1. I searched for CleanMyMac2 in applications but couldn't find it. I clicked on the EtreCheck for these files and checked them as adware and submitted it.


2. I never installed Go to Meetings I don't think.


3. In my Terminal it shows BitDefender is still there, but I uninstalled it.


4. Also, in Terminal it shows "MRTA agent is not responding"


5. I installed another anti Malware program called Intego, but just uninstalled it.

Feb 5, 2016 6:48 PM in response to GJG61

None of that software is any good for you Mac.


Since the ErteCheck report show that bit and pieces of that software are still on you Mac, you are either not uninstalling them correctly or the disk drive in you Mac is so corrupt that the uninstall procedures are unable to find everything.


It is very likely that the only way you can clean up this mess is to reformat the disk drive and reinstall everything except for MacKeeper, CleanMyMac2, BitDefender.


The first thing you will need to do before starting that is to back everything up.

Feb 5, 2016 2:33 PM in response to GJG61

Yes, that is correct. You need an external disk drive for backup. Make sure the new disk is formatted as HFS+ and partition mapping go GUID.


You can make the backup to the external disk drive either by enabling Time Machine to do it or by using either CCC or SuperDuper to create a clone. In your case I would us Time Machine since it allies your disk is corrupt now with all the questionable third party software you have been using on it.

Feb 5, 2016 3:08 PM in response to GJG61

The reason why you have this kind of problem is that you are downloading any software that anyone tells you to, without researching it first and without regard to whether you need it or not. Please stop doing that, or there will be worse trouble to come.You don't need any software to remove adware, nor do you need any software to tell you whether you have adware.If you don't see ads, you don't have adware.

Feb 6, 2016 3:13 PM in response to Allan Eckert

Thanks everyone. I backed up my drive, erased the old one and reinstalled.

But, the problem code is still there from my saved data.


Is there a way to delete it manually?


Here is the new EtreCheck.

Looks like my computer is exactly the same as before the restore.


I backed up data on an external hard drive. I erased the computer, then reinstalled OX. Then restored my data from the back up disk.


What did I do wrong?


In terminal the MRTA Agent is still hanging.


The problematic "CLeanMyMac" code is still there. I deleted the program as soon as I saw that it was automatically installed by the fake "flash update". But, the code is still there.


Suggestion?
