Recently I needed to move my file from my One Plus (yes – I’m back to iOS). For this move I needed to transfer my previous images / files from the android phone to my computer.

The only thing is each time I tried to use Android File Transfer, it stalls in the middle of the progress after copying few files. I thoguht ok, let’s go back to CLI, so ADB was an obvious backup plan; however the last did not sustain as well. The phone keeps disconnecting and I got frustrated with this buggy design of both. (@Google – Why is this OK?)

Turns out that CLI is indeed a life saver especially for a linux user like me. What I did is really simple and effective.

The idea:
Run scp in adb shell connect back to your mac / linux box (Windows users you will find a way too – SFTP server?)

The implementation:

If you’re suffering from an ads injecting malware like this one:

Usually it is a black box showing at the button of any website you visit form any browser: Safari, Chrome, Firefox.
Don’t try to remove a plugin or extension. This malware is not a browser add-in.
I have wrote a tiny bash script to run in your mac and it will clean your system.
You can download it form here – just run it as sudo.

You can easily view the source of the script by opening it in your fav text editor.
