T_O_Bull Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Does anyone know anything about the "Nappili and Asktofriend viruses? T_O_B Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You mean Hapili? They are viruses that hijack your browser. They modify your default settings, so you aren't able to turn back to your default search engine and redirect you to their domain, either hapili or asktofriends. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Get malwarebytes, install it and make sure it updates. Reboot your machine to safe mode and run a full scan. Remove all infections and reboot into normal mode. Any problems solved. Message me if you need any help T_O Quote Link to comment

bennychico11 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If Malware Bytes didn't take care of it...you may need to attack it from a few different angles. Try also Dr. Web Cure It, Spybot, Super Anti Spyware and HijackThis (which is mainly for internet browser infections). and of course update your antivirus software (I recommend Avast Free if you don't have one already). AND...stay off the porn sites 1 Quote Link to comment

This is absolutely the best way possible to ensure that you will eventually compromise your system. Apple just keeps their security updates as secret as possible so they don't have to admit vulnerabilities. Instead of drinking the kool-aid a much smarter option is to educate yourself on smart browsing etiquette. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also, I think it is a good policy to run potentially shady websites, files, or programs in a sandbox first, isolating it from the rest of your system. http://www.sandboxie.com/ Use this, guys.
