softwareupdaterlp MALWARE
Ok, there is a nasty piece of malware floating around the web so I thought I'd post the solution to the problem here.
This malware may be keying off certain ads on CP but the ads themselves shouldn't be an issue. Google is claiming to have fixed the previous ad hijack/redirect issue that we saw. OK, to fix this for PC check this... http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-...rlp-com-virus/ For Mac check this... https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6802324 Please post here if the problem gets resolved or if it persists. If you have never had the problem (I have yet to see it) then feel free to ignore this. |

No issues on the PC but I've had issues with the iPad Air for weeks with re-directing.

I can't imagine this makes much difference, but I've never seen the redirect issue on iOS, but also never sign in on iOS.
Now the front page crashing the shit out of safari....all the time. If I go to the Lounge page directly no issues. |

I've been dealing with redirects on my iPad for weeks, started getting them today on my Mac Mini.
I used Malwarebytes on my old PC, what's the best alternative for Mac? |

Seems to have worked for me.

Because of that fact, apps like AdwareMedic only really look at a few specific locations in OS X, for a list of known crapware apps that can be installed in OS X. It's not updated very often, so it can only find the stuff that existed at the time of the version release. But there are a few crapware apps that it can detect and remove. Like the Conduit Search BS, MacKeeper, etc. Most likely it's not necessary, but you're welcome to have at it.

since this began, I use adblock plus app running inside safari apps. It seems this redirect uses just a few specific redirects -- I added those URLs to my block list and it stopped.

Weird. I got redirected on my phone a couple of times yesterday. I'm not sure it was this malware, though. As soon as I opened CP, it sent me to some spam site. I just back-arrowed it and went on.

I get ''redirected'' on my phone lately. It bounces me to the App Store.

Can these threads have the sticky removed yet?
