This morning I received a message from a friend via FB to watch a video. Youtube required to update flash player and now it seems my MacBook is infected with a virus. http://search.anysearchmanager.com/?_pg=6A9A0A5C-8903-5DA6-B635-4BBB05704231&aff id=A0EPK_ext_bsf_T&type=t When I go to Safari, it automatically goes to this site and when I search it goes to yahoo as a search engine. How do I clean this up?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7)
Remove any Safari extensions you don't recognize and/or click here and run the tool. In future, if you see a prompt to update Flash, go to Adobe's website or the Flash Player pane of System Preferences manually instead of downloading it from the prompt.

Never update Flash Player from a pop-up that tells you to. Only update it from either the Official Adobe Website or from System Preferences > Flash Player > check for updates. You downloaded a phony Flash layer installer which installed malware on your Mac.
Download and run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.
