The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. If you have trouble following those instructions, see below. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Never use any commercial "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" product that may be advertised on the Web.
#Remove mackeeper yosemite download#
You don't need to, and should not, download anything to solve this problem. I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 and just bought this new MacBook Air (replaced an older MBA) at Christmas. I have cleared my History and Website Data (numerous times), have emptied the trash and restarted numerous times as well. All discussions on Launchpad icon removal focus on removing the icons of applications you want to keep or on apps that you want to remove because they are no longer wanted rather than malware. They are SearchProtect and takeOverSe.AssetsMac.
I have found 2 Items (icons) on my Launchpad that I cannot get rid of, although I know I got rid of the related files in the Library. I have installed AdBlock and it is not blocking it. I installed Fast Tasks 2 and removed all the files it recommended. I followed previous discussion points and removed every file recommended. Additionally, it keeps removing my Safari Home Page (which I had set on Google) and replacing it with a blank screen but with an obscure url listed in the preferences. I have not installed MacKeeper, but I keep getting the pop-ups as well as other ones.
