[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1669964"] [url=http://sqwarq.com/detectx/]DetectX | sqwarq[/url] This is a new free tool from registered Apple developer sqwarq to help remove MacKeeper and other nefarious software from Mac systems. It's not better than AdwareMedic, but it does do a good job of identifying both known malware (like Genieo) and outdated, no-good adware programs like certain DivX installs and SafariOmnibar. Since it detects and helps you manually remove some things AdwareMedic doesn't, its another good tool to have in one's toolkit. MacUpdate's Derek Currie posted a list of exactly what it looks for, but recommended you use other tools that do a better job of removing any found malware/adware/oldware, but if you feel comfortable manually removing stuff like MacKeeper then this will help you do the job.
