I will need to look at your log files.  I'll send a private message shortly with instructions.

Re: adware.zangosearch virus...

I do see at least a couple detections in QTFiles, amongst a lot of others.  See if this helps at all:

 

1. Run the Terminal application (from /Applications/Utilities/Terminal)

2. Enter this command:

sudo rm /usr/bin/MigrateQTF

(you will be prompted for your admin password, enter it and hit return)

 

Are you finding a lot of these repeatedly, or just a couple?

It looks like it removed the file I am suspicious of.  Let me know if you get more detections now.

Re: adware.zangosearch virus...

No problem. Sorry I didn't think to have you try that sooner, but it was less obvious in your case what the issue was.  Thanks for your patience.
