In this article, I’ll discuss the what, why, and how of cloud storage for businesses.

#Zipcloud removal series#

This article is part of a series in which The Simple Dollar is doing some deep dive research into money saving tools that can help your business thrive.Ĭloud storage providers enable individuals and businesses to easily transfer files to secure networks in order to free up device space while allowing for seamless collaboration between multiple parties. In fact, revenue from global cloud storage services could eclipse $4 billion in 2016, up from less than $1 billion in 2011, according to Statista. And if you’re not already storing data online, the time is now - over the past 20 years, data has increasingly moved out of your hard drive and into the cloud. OnyX has absolutely positively nothing at all to do with malware or the identification or removal of malware.The best cloud storage providers give you ample room to store your data and easy ways to share it, all at a reasonable price point.

OnyX is merely wraps a GUI around standard Unix tasks plus a few OS X-specific utilities. Almost everything done by OnyX is done automatically by OS X.Ī word about AdwareMedic/ MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac. Having downloaded the Spigot adware engine from c|net's, I was very happy to find AdwareMedic. ĪdwareMedic identified the offending Spigot files, allowing me to remove them. After MalwareBytes took over AdwareMedic and changed its name, I downloaded MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac. I have been reluctant to publicize what happened next, but I will do so now. After installing MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac, I noticed that ZipCloud had been installed on my computer. ZipCloud seems to be a legitimate utility.

However, I did not knowingly download it nor did I knowingly install it. After emptying the Trash, ZipCloud seems to be gone. I do not want to falsely accuse anyone of anything.

I will admit that I did not take kindly to MalwareBytes's fanning the flames of malware hysteria after it entered the Mac market. This was particularly irksome because MalwareBytes is anti-adware and not a general anti-malware utility. As unsavory as I found its behavior, I did not want to accuse MalawareBytes of doing something that I was not certain that it did.

Over the weekend, I made a discovery that has substantially lowered my opinion of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac and AdwareMedic before it. This is the executable that does the work defined by its support files.Īlthough this utility showed me that Spigot has been installed, it left me a nasty surprise. Not identifying the Spigot engine is a rather egregious omission. There is no excuse for it.ĭepending on where you got the download for your installer, that might explain the unwanted additional ZipCloud app. It might not be the fault of Malwarebytes. They have a lot to lose if they were to deliberately do something like that themselves. It really doesn't make sense that they would to me.Īs for failing to pick something up in a latest version, that seems like something worth contacting them about rather than dismissing them as being no good over it. Something might have changed and they haven't caught up with it yet.

It is after all a never ending game of cat and mouse keeping up with malware, viruses, etc.īy the way, neither of the previous posters indicated they were using OnyX to deal with malware, etc. I think they were speaking of utilities in general and listed that as the first one and then the other stuff after that. I'd agree that using any utility to "clean up" stuff like app caches, log files, etc.

Is a waste of time as the system manages that automatically as you pointed out.
