ilivid

wolff645

I inadvertently loaded "ilivid" while trying to obtain some information on an old boat. It has placed a tool bar on my computer, and I can't get rid of it. I've tried symantec, clamx and now sophos. In looking on the internet, it shows as malware, but none of the previous mentioned sites recognized it as such. Do any mac users know of a way to get rid of this? Thanks....

    Are the DNS settings on your computer and router set to the right address (right being your ISP's DNS server or something like 8.8.8.8)?  This could just be a DNS intercept.

    If it's not that, you may also want to check your /etc/hosts file and also look for anything on your computer referencing ilivid.

    You may also want to check your proxy settings to see if your proxy is set to some strange address, and finally: try using an alternate browser and see if it's a safari extension plugin or somesuch that something's dropped to inject ilivid.

    If it's the last, please submit the file to Sophos via our site's submission tool -- https://secure2.sophos.com/en-us/support/contact-support/sample-submission.aspx -- we'd be more than happy to write detection/cleanup for it.  Fill in "SAV Mac Home Edition" under company name.
