So, I recently got a virus known as MacVx. I had no idea what to do, since it mainly messed up my internet browser, and computer. Why do I want to share this? Well, I recently found out that it not only affects Mac, but all other systems like Windows. Symptoms: Pops up ads out of nowhere Takes you to its site or other sites you don't want to go to Computer runs slower than normal Here's how to remove it. (Google Chrome, doing so will also remove it from other browsers) Step 1: Go to your settings by clicking the three bars in the upper right hand corner. Step 2: Click settings, then scroll down all the way and click advanced settings. Step 3: Scroll all the way down again and find "Reset Settings" Step 4: Click Reset. If you want to be safe, click reset twice. I wanted to make this thread so that in case it ever happens to you, you know what to do.
This also works if you have/had the sweetpacks toolbar installed. The sweetpacks literally messes up your Google chrome preferences. xD
