i downloaded some freeware recently and now all my chrome urls have nova.rambler.ru prepended.
i've never had a virus or trojan on here so i have clue where to even start.
any help would be awesome
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Hi! I solved this problem just today after a very long nightmare. So, try to follow these steps:
- first of all, install another Browser (Firefox)
- export your Favourites if you are afraid to loose them ("Bookmarks", "Bookmarks Manager", "Organize" and choose "Export to HTML files")
- exit from Chrome
- go to the "Applications" folder and drag the Chrome icon into the Trashbox.
- Then click on the "Go" button on the upper Finder tool bar, choose "Go to Folder" and write this command:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome
- select all the Chrome folders and all the Chrome files displayed (you are inside the Chrome folder that is still inside your OS) and drag all of them inside the Trashbox
Now Chrome is completely uninstalled from your OS. Now:
- open Firefox, download the Chrome.dmg file from the Chrome official site and open it
- drag the Install file inside the "Application" folder
- launch Chrome
Now you have a "virgin" and "clear" Chrome installation. Then You have to:
- sign in with your Google account
- import your Bookmarks (but I think they will be already there after I have logged in)
- uninstall Firefox if You want or use both of them if You want.
I really hope this will help you, let me know if it works.
Bye,
Nice work! 🙂
I did that and it worked for a while, but it came back again just a while ago. It seems to be something to deal with Mac not just in the Chrome folder
I tried disabling the sync for setting and other things, leaving only extension, history, and bookmark.
It seems to be working but let see if it comes back again.
All the methods you guys mentioned above, I have tried them all. They don't work.
It (nova.rambler.ru) comes back after 2 days.
Is there anyone could solve this, please 😟
I tried all of the steps but it comes after 1 day. I also deleted my profile data from chrome. Is there any solution for that? Thanks
It comes back after a while (often 2 days or when I restart my MAC) (again and again)
I tried the soft you guys mentioned but it kept coming back.
Is there any different solutions?
Many thanks!
Hey folks,
I've removed this without doing anything to the Chrome, the problems lies here:
Library/Application Support/cmodutility
Library/LaunchAgents/com.noextend.cmodutility.plist
Just delete them
Fantastic work, as always! 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
