[QUOTE="jozi, post: 1641268, member: 344212"] o/s mavericks 10.9.5 Is it possible to remove the trojan redirect without resorting to scanners like clamx? I used it when I had the trojan redirect on another mac and it froze the mac. I had to pull the plug in the end and then the mac would not boot up - mother board fried. Now I've purchased another mac and have again inadvertently downloaded the trojan after downloading a movie from the veehd site. I've deleted the movie and the media player that I had to download to watch the movie but the trojan is embedded in my system. The trojan affects all my current browsers - chrome, Safari, Firefox. I've tried switching to google dns numbers instead of my isp dns numbers but redirect problem still persists. I've checked the host file in terminal as per the safemac.com instructions and host file looks ok. I am being re-directed on each and every site I visit and usually being directed to mackeeper and addcash. I think my router is ok because I don't have this problem when using my cell phone to connect to internet via router wifi. I really don't want to do a re-install but I've been told this trojan is often not detected by scanners. So is there some clever some-one who knows another method of how to ged rid of it? [/QUOTE]
