fruineum Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My Apple laptop does not work properly these days as Safari home page is changed to Frontier Search or search.frontier.com without my consent. Some pages are changed as well, for example when I want to play online games. It's said that the search engine is not a real and good one. But now my security tool does not scan it or delete it completely. If you have any idea, please help! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have some malware / adware , luckily for you I'm a self proclaimed expert when it comes too removing malicious / candy from machines. Firstly , could you please download and install eset from the following link - Click here to download Eset will check to see if the issue is malware related or pup / opencandy adware if it detects anything , it will remove it. Secondly , do you have java installed? Since I'm unfamiliar with MAC / OSX , would you be able to post a picture of your OS startup directory / launch on boot programs? Get back to me and let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy885 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yes, i am a big ESET lover i got smart security on all of my PCs and End Point on all my servers. If there is any "Candy" ESET will eat it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It is a browser hijack ,some times these are installed to the system sometimes its an add on or a simple home page change. Check for newly installed programs, go into safari's settings and uninstall any dodgy addons then set your home page back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habylab Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'd recommend Malwarebytes personally myself, always catches anything for me, and is free too. https://www.malwarebytes.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
