Got some malware ? Clicks on sites or FB leads to mackeeper or other ads

[Micka88]

Don't know what happened, but suddenly when clicking something on FB or other sites , I am led to some strange sites with mackeeper or other rubbish. Any way how to get rid of it ?

This is one of the links that happens:

MacKeeper

mackeeperapp.mackeeper.com

What browser and DNS servers are you using? I would try a browser like Brave with a built in adblocker or Firefox with Ublock Origin and see if it persists there. Id also enable secure DNS in them with Quad9 or NextDNS. You can also do a free scan with Malwarebytes to see if you were infected with anything but I would download it from a clean browser after making sure its pointing to the correct DNS server.

EDIT: Also make sure you are running the latest updates after all that too.

If these websites are opened without an obvious cause, you might have previously installed MacKeeper. After uninstallation, remaining MacKeeper software displays advertisements.

MalwareBytes can be used to remove MacKeeper remains. Try downloading it and starting a scan.

Hi! Could you please clarify what you meant by "clicking something"? Have you clicked on ads or anywhere on the page?

Have you installed any new apps recently? Anything for shopping/discounts/coupons/etc? Many of those apps don't do what they supposed to, but show ads only.
As mentioned above, MalwareBytes offers a free scan, try it first. Also, carefully review and remove any unneeded/unknown apps, expecially the ones you got recently.

As stated run Malwarebytes. Also go through your addons or extensions for your web browsers. Plus check your browsers search settings.
