infection report

All of a sudden, I am getting a constant infection report for my Charter Security Report. When I ran the scan, it should no infections. Here is what they say:

1. /private/tmp/mmUpdLaunchMe Suspicious:OSX/PossiblyUnwanted.26e9d8bc!Online

2. /private/tmp/mmLaunchMe adware/osx.surfbuyer.arvsd

I have gotten these report continously since I got on my computer this morning - 10 times for #1 and once for #2.

I never had this problem until installing High Sierra. Before that I had Yosemite.

iMac, Other OS, OS High Sierra 4 GB memory

Uninstall the software. It is not compatible with High Sierra. Upgrade it. You don't need it. To deal with adware:

It is due to latest adware MyCouponize, please read my blog to remove this adware.

And what do you base that reply on?

1) You seem to love using the word "virus", regardless of the provable fact that there is not, and never has been a virus that can affect the Mac OS.

2) You state the problem as fact that it's due to MyCouponize. Yet, the instructions you link to don't show a single name in the OP's report above.

Result. Your post is for no purpose other than to promote your site. Advertising is not allowed on these forums. And posting a disclaimer doesn't change that, or make the post okay.

Whatever security software you're running. You don't need (or want) anything of the sort unless you're running Microsoft Windows.

I don't know about anything you say to infosee, but his link helped me. I did have MyCouponize in my files.

Yes, Look for the reply from infosee. I downloaded his fix, and I know longer have the problem. I had that "MyCouponize" on my computer, and his software got rid of it.
