UPDATE June 15, 2016

My MBP has been affected by malware AGAIN and it worse than before:

1. Offers4U and many more popped up like crazy even though I disabled the pop up.
2. World Clock and Calendar in Notification Centre were disabled and didn't show anything.

I tried to install MALWAREBYTES ANTI-MALWARE (MBAM), run it but it just found some files and the pop ups were still there.

What I did was, I used this same technic (in this video) to determine the culprit files. These what I got:

com.acantha.plist
com.carloading.plist
com.commercial.plist
com.correctress.plist
com.dromondUpd.plist
com.elimination.plist
com.gavelock.plist
com.geat.plist
com.healthless.plist
com.hiding.plist
com.itinerantly.plist
com.limonene.plist
com.longjaw.plist
com.neuterdom.plist
com.noneffusion.plist
com.obedience.plist
com.papeterie.plist
com.photolithograph.plist
com.prelecture.plist
com.qualitative.plist
com.recurrence.plist
com.subsensuous.plist
com.suz.plist
com.ternion.plist
com.triennially.plist
com.unbrokenly.plist
com.uquoroden.plist
com.vaporimeter.plist
com.volumette.plist

I moved all these files into the trash and before I emptied the thrash, I wanted to check wether all the files can be recognised by MBAM as malware files. Then I run MBAM once. And guest what, all the files are malware files and MBAM can't detect it at first! Then I removed all the files and the pop ups resolved. Hope this can help you out to solve the malware problem. Sorry for shitty grammar LOL.

Remove Search-Quick virus from Safari, Firefox and Chrome on Mac OS X. Follow the steps listed in this guide to get rid of search-quick.com hijacker on Mac.

The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.

This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.


In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
