The page dataloading.net keeps opening on Safari

This page keeps opening, seems like an adware, but I read that actually steels information from your computer. Is there a way to remove this without installing any program like macbooster or mackeeper? I tried resetting Safari and it won't work, it just keeps opening every now and then. I really need some help here. Thanks!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Both Malwarebytes and Etrecheck can solve the problem:


https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/

http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

The whole point is there are bad files that have to be removed, you can do this even manually by looking for the unknown files in your /Library/LaunchDaemons . But if you don't have the knowledge Etrecheck can find them for you like this: (the file names may be different on your computer!)

It's not working for me! Everytime I click on a link on Safari or enter an address a tab loading dataloading.net/[something] beings to load! If I attempt to close the tab, it closes my previous tabs along with it! it's bugging me to oblivion and I can't find a way to fix it! I've tried all the LEGIT malware detection softwares I could think of, reseted everything I could in Safari and pretty much done everything I can think of! Please help!

Jan 15, 2017 12:25 PM in response to Sahab_mas

Please try a different approach.


You will have t do this after starting up in Safe Mode to prevent adware

from interfering with the removal of adware .


1. Shut down the computer.

Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound,

press and hold the Shift key.


The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,

but not before the startup sound.


Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen.

Startup will take longer than usual.

Screen flickering is normal in Safe Mode.

Login to your account. Launch Safari.


Enter this address https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/

in the Safari address bar.

Download, Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan” button to remove adware, if present.

Once done, quit MalwareBytes.



2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions

Turn all extensions off

or uninstall all extensions you haven’t installed knowingly.


3. Safari > Preferences > Search > Search Engine :

Select your preferred search engine.


4. Safari > Preferences > General > Homepage:

Set your Homepage.


5. Restart normally using the “Restart” button.


Test Safari
