However, the problems that commonly arise are disk permission issues, high RAM consumption, and login startup items. Windows was simpler.There are plenty of reasons why your Mac is running slowly. I find it ironic that I am spending all this time figuring out on a Mac, since "they don't get bugs", Using Windows with Avast has kept me safe through the years. I have been a Windows user for years, and this is my first Mac and my only computer at the moment. Since this happened on a Mac, that is commonly known they don't get "bugs", I was very suspicious something might have gotten through ! Only way out was ReStarting the Mac which it did regularly. When the Mac opened a page I could not get out from, and no links on that page worked. I was on Chrome, web surfing, not paying much attention, and can not even remember the page i was on, So MacBooster had nothing to do with this incident that made me suspect I might have gotten a bug. It was in desperation after having used Avast and MBAM that I was looking for another AV to scan with. I agree with you on "Macbooster" name, I would never go for names like that, I Never use Safari, just Chrome and Firefox on the Mac. Only trust the the "Big Boy's" in AV, or you have a great chance in get "MacBoosted" by scam-ware like IObit. Do not use "no name's" even if they are in the Mac App Store.
If you want to load any other Mac anti-virus software ONLY use TOP commonly known brand names that are used in the PC world. This will help you figuring out IF you are infected or not. Please read the descriptions and processes of each program that he has posted for each program to get a feel what's happening when you use them. Why this doesn't force send everything I just don't get? In the VirusTotal linking that is used in most off his programs, go through the lists of every file that is sent to VirusTotal and when you see a "?" mark click on it and "force send" it to VirusTotal with the submit button that comes up. Here is an "About" him on his site and then go to his free programs and run all of them that logically would pertain them to your problem.
Reinstall macbooster 7 mac os#
I then would download all the programs from Patrick Wardal, A leading Mac OS X/MacOS malware researcher. This is only an on-demand scanner so it will not interfere with Avast on-access scanner.
Reinstall macbooster 7 update#
Make sure you update definitions before you do a full scan. Then I would download the free BitDefender on-demand scanner through the Mac App Store. Run a full Avast scan and Malwarebytes scan. No great loss on doing this since you have nothing to lose since you are already infected. Hopefully it will find the pathway to that icon that is persisting. Then use AppCleaner to uninstall MacBooster. Then reinstall MacBooster crapware again. When using it, hit the "list" icon in the upper right corner. ( safe program and if this helps you out, please donate something to this developer)
Reinstall macbooster 7 install#
Then I would download this program and install it. Leave this as your default setting on every Mac you own.
Safari->Preferences->Search-> Disable or uncheck "Preload Top Hit in the background" and "Enable Quick Website Search" then clear all history and cookies.
95% of the time they are fishing with bait. Never get sucked into "booster" anything. ANYTHING IObit (developer name) is basically crapware/malware. First off, your choice of MacBooster was not good.
