ssp.zryydi.com tab opens automatically in Chrome and Safari

Chrome and Safari browser randomly opens this tab -*ssp.zryydi.com*which redirects to some or the other ad.



It is really annoying and there is no way I could find to get rid of it. I don't want to install malwarebytes and other such apps suggested in many posts because they are not available on App Store.


I tried some other solutions also like removing some plist files and folders from these posts -*http://www.securemacos.com/single-post/2016/11/01/Remove-sspzryydicom-pop-up-ads-from-Apple-Mac-OS-X, http://pcthreatskiller.com/how-to-remove-ssp-zryydi-com-completely/
Couldn't find any of the files mentioned in this post also.

Several of those files are in a Library folder that is inside your user folder. This Library folder is hidden by default in recent versions of OS X. To be honest there arte lots of steps where a mistake causing additional problems.

Many of our members use Malwarebytes on their Macs with no issues. It does not seem to litter the hard drive with files so you could, in their, run it then remove it. I have it on my system but don't have to run it often. The fact that it is not in the App Store does not necessarily mean something is wrong. Apple does not permit some types of apps in the app store and some developers choose not to be part of the App Store because of such things as the fees that Apple charges or some of the other restoration in place.

For Safari, make sure you have exited out of it. Then, hold "shift" when you click to open Safari. You may want to uninstall Chrome temporarily before doing this.

I also believe Malwarebytes would be helpful with your issue, but, if your not going to try it, you may not be able to resolve this issue. It is very much recommended and trusted here on Mac-Forums.

A warm welcome to Mac-Forums, j229.

May I just endorse Member Ferrari's recommendation of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware app. For more years than I care to remember, this app, (and its antecedent, Adware Medic), have been used by hundreds of members.

Use of this app, which is manually applied (it does not run in the background), may be your only chance of ridding yourself of this annoying malware.

And may I suggest Ghostery to prevent this annoy-ware from coming back? Neither of these are in the Apple store, as you have noted, but all of them are great products and work well. Just be sure to get them from the developer websites:

www.ghostery.com for ghostery
www.malwarebytes.com for malwarebytes application

I am facing the same problem. Not able to solve it. please guide.
