Just worked on my Macbook: macsoftdownload 100 year old BING Redirect malware. Can't believe I rook'd and got it. Tried to kill it with Malwarebytes, nope didn't find it...this video helped track down the evil files. Into the trash they went, rebooted and DONE. THANK YOU.
Thank you. I did everything you said, step by step and got rid of the malware. I can't thank you enough.
I can't not thank you because I had the bing redirect virus on chrome, and I tried to get rid of it for like 5 hours. Your video IS A LIFE SAVER!!! Also to all you guys saying it's a waste of time, try being patient because all the information he gives is beneficial, and if he's going too fast, PAUSE IT. Thanks again!!!!!!

Thank you soooooo soooo much, you just save me from buying a new MacBook Pro. You helped me fixed my MacBook Pro. Thank you. I appreciate it a lot. I subbed turned on notifications and liked the video.
Thanks so much! I had an issue with the Advanced mac Cleaner. I had tech support remove it from my computer when I discovered it was a virus. I followed your instructions just for the heck of it, but discovered the tech missed a few things. I found more remnants of the program. I removed it and deleted my trash. Gosh, things were really hidden. Especially that secret menu where you have to hold down option. Thanks again!
hey bra. thank you so very much...i had a crazy malware that wouldn't go away. the repetitive force quit did the trick. watched many videos that didn't help. your explanation was simple and practical. continue the good work bro....kudos
Thanks! Best video to help malware on Macs.....Excellent....the best!

Thank You so Much! I had a extension that I got so annoyed from and the extension part of the video helped me. Thanks.
I love it when people help each other! There is already so much evil in the world. I love it when people take a few moments out of day and share advice, etc. We have much more in common than we don't. Thanks to the publisher and to everyone sharing tips and advice with one another.
This video has like 8 minutes of fluff, but you're THE BEST! literally had been racking my brain for two days about how to remove the redirect and stupid coupon pop ups on my browser and this worked. Bless you!!
I’m gonna spend the next years of my life learning to hack. And give people that are making theses viruses, viruses and make a legit free antivirus software

Hi Joshua, My safari was infected. I followed your simple instructions of: Go into the Apple Logo, and press force quit. I had to do it twice and it got rid of the infected Malware. Thank you so much!
Very very very helpful!!! Thank you
Dude you are a life saver!!!!!! removed all the damn viruses with this thing
Thank you very much! It helped! Could you help me with this error: "Couldn’t communicate with a helper application." I downloaded a virus app which helped me find and delete PersonalSearch malware finally! But it get's part way through its scan and stops with this pop up.
Got it. Video was a bit long but it helped me discover that the recent Flash Player program I thought I was updating was malware. Had the legit logo and everything. How can I tell when it's bogus before I download?
Thank you so much. Found the program and eliminated it as I followed your video>
I had an ADC folder when i opened it there it was the hlpradc. The cause of all my problems. I force stop first with the activity monitor and then i deleted the file. We will see in the upcoming days if that was it. Hope I did it right. In the mean time Thank you very much. I learned something new today.
Brilliant demo please more 😊
this was really helpful. thanks.
Awesome tips thanks so much!!!
Excellent! Thanks a million.
Thank you for doing this video! I didn't know about the Force Quit and last night Search.Schooldozer got loaded on my brand new MacBook Air. It over rode my Malwarebytes. It took me an hour last night to figure out how to get rid of it, but now I see under Home ,Applications "Chromium" installed May 16, 2017" as well as a Yahoo Powered Search. The Yahoo give me the option to uninstall. Could either of these be remnants of the Schooldozer malware? Thank you.
you're a genious. thank you!!!!!!! i almost threw my computer against the wall 😡
Thanks this helped me uninstall safe finder :)

Ik its been some time, but if you're still having issues with removing safe finder within safari, then go to safari's Preferences, then Extensions, and remove the "Safe Find" extension including any extensions you may not be familier with .

at 11:16 I found the answer to getting rid of Bing redirect in my iMac….I’ve been trying EVERYTHING. I found the culprit in my Launch Agents folder and GoPro program that seemed innocent enough….but after trashing it, shutting down and restarting: Bing does not take over.
Thank YOU!!!!!! 🇹🇹

i have a good tip. look at the url bar at the top.
Awesome, finally got rid of that stupid yahoo redirect that was in a fake adobe update. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Great stuff.. I however have Both Chrome and Safari hijacked on my iMac with German search results for the first 4 search items in both Browsers and can no longer skip adverts in KZread. Ive run Malwarebytes and nothing shows up. Can you help?
thanks a lot :)
Hey Bro what is Automator? Cause it's on my MacBook Pro.
A lot of good information if you want to learn the ins and outs of your system (his instructions begin at 10:16 ... you're welcome). But if you are like me and want a quick & easy fix, download Malwarebytes and follow instructions.
I followed instructions from 11:15 on and deleted "totaltoolboxsearch" in those folders you mention and it worked for like 1 month, then suddenly safari opened an update box by itself and there it was again, safesearch installed itself from nowhere. It must be hiding somewhere else. If someone knows please share.

@@MrMesutor I did what's shown on the video but aso looked under system preferences =>users. Sometimes it create a user as admin and you can't change google search engine because of that, it took me a while to find it. if you have it, delete it. I also installed malwarebytes and it never came back, don't know if it is because of this or just luck.
