How to remove Yoursites123 virus from firefox?!
Some days ago I noticed that I can use Mozilla normally because of Yoursites123.com. This domain looks safe but it annoys me. Used this guide (http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-yoursites123-com-virus.html) that says that I should reset my firefox, but it doesn't help.. What should I do next? I need a free solution

Yes, if the infection came back after using Firefox's Refresh feature, there's a very good chance some external program is still on your Mac messing with your browser settings.
According to one article I read, you can see what software has been installed recently on your Mac using System Information:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203001
In the left column, check Software > Installations. You can click the Install date column heading to sort the most recent additions to the top.
If you spot anything odd, you may want to search for more information about it. If anything installed around the same time this problem started, this may have been a bundled component. If you can track down the culprit, please name names to help other users avoid it!

Hi, you can try running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac.
After removal of the malware, if your home page and search have been changed, you can reset them to default by running the add-on SearchReset.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

I did what you said and I found SubTab with Shopper-Pro on my computer! Deleted them and yoursites123 was GONE!!! I must admit that 2spyware and lots of other security sites also mention the fact that this nasty thing spreads together with other programs as their "component". I will try to be more attentive in the future..
