Please read this whole message before doing anything. If you tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the Trash, you'll have to reinstall it and then follow the instructions linked above.

Never install any "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" software again.

In short, apart from the fine print in the license agreement, Avast is indistinguishable from malware, and is arguably worse than any known malware now in circulation.īack up all data, then remove Avast according to the developer's instructions. Some versions of the product also inject advertising into web pages. Removing it may not repair all the damage. Not only does it fail to protect you from any real danger, it may send personal data (such as web browsing history and the contents of email messages) back to the developer without your knowledge, give false warnings, destabilize and slow down the computer, expose you to network attack, and corrupt the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder. "Avast" is the worst of the whole wretched lot of commercial "security" products for the Mac.
That's because Avast itself is causing the problem, almost certainly. I have Avast but it did not detect anything Thanks in advance (and I don't need any scolding about visiting sketchy websites!)

I have Avast but it did not detect anything when I ran it …ĭoes anyone have any idea how to get rid of this? I do have an appointment with the local Genius Bar but it isn't until Monday and I would like to avoid the trip if possible. I'm assuming that the extension is some sort of malware that has installed itself on my computer. Instead, it says YOUR NETWORK PROXY SETTINGS ARE BEING MANAGED BY AN EXTENSION. I have read online how to fix the proxy issue in settings on Chrome / Firefox / Safari but in my Network settings I cannot uncheck the proxy.

I do occasionally watch movies / TV / sports on sketchy websites (like ) but did not do that between Tuesday & Wednesday. The problem is that I do not have any proxies set up (I use Verizon FIOS at home and the computer worked fine just Tuesday using my wireless router). All three have some version of "unable to connect to the proxy server" I have an older MacBook that I've kept updating for oh … about 8 years now and starting Wednesday of this week it has not been able to connect to the internet on any browers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome). Opera download link.I haven't been able to find anything about how to fix this online–and only a few things here and there on what it might be: Do you need to install a browser mentioned above? This gives you the option to access the internet directly when using Safari or Opera if you have it installed. Recommendationįor more freedom in choosing when to use proxies and when to browse directly we recommend to configure the proxy in Firefox or to add the proxy extension in Chrome. Besides being easy-to use the fact that you can set the proxy only for Chrome it’s another reason to get the intoProxy extension. When you add the intoProxy extension to Chrome, you will be able to configure Chrome independently from other browsers on your computer. This means that the above mentioned browsers will share the same proxy settings so at one time they are either all configured or not configured to use a proxy.įirefox however uses it’s own proxy settings so it can be configured separately.Īdditionally, proxy extensions change how browsers use the proxy settings. You won’t need to fiddle with the configuration in order to switch the proxy ON or OFF, simply pick different browsers for different needs.īy default Google Chrome, Opera and Safari use the same proxy settings which can be configured under Network /Proxies on Mac . The advantage of configuring only one browser is that you can choose when to use intoProxy or not. This guide describes how proxy settings work on Mac computers, it shows which browsers share the proxy configuration and which browsers can use their own separate proxy configuration.
