Genieo is a malicious program. Even you didn't mean to download it, it can get installed on your system together with some free programs. To get rid of Genieo permanently, you have to delete its components from your PC. First, you need to check your browser extensions. If Genieo is there, disable it. Secondly, uninstall it from control panel: click start>control panel>uninstall a program. Lastly, how hidden files and delete Genieo. Now, reboot your system. This should fix your problem. If you are not clean, see more detailed removal instruction here: http://www.pccaretips.com/blog/steps-to-get-rid-of-ads-by-genieo-from-your-browsers.html

I have an older iMac, 10.6.8; it seems to be infected with some thing called genieo. How do I get rid of it?

The only way is to do so manually. Carefully follow Thomas Reed's Genieo Removal Guide to completely rid your machine of the offending adware. Here is an abbreviated version of Thomas Reed's guide:
  1. Quit Genio. Remove /private/etc/launchd.conf.
  2. If it's not present, move on. If it is, trash it and restart the machine (See the warning in the full guide about overlooking this step).
  3. Remove the following files, if present: /Applications/Genieo /Applications/Uninstall Genieo /Applications/Uninstall IM Completer.app ~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer/ ~/Library/Application Support/Genieo/ ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib /usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
  4. Restart the machine again.
  5. Remove /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework and empty the trash.
  6. Remove the Omnibar Extension from your browser. See full guide if you are unsure how to do so.
  7. Reset the Home Page, and possibly default search engine for your browser.

If you value your privacy, and the stability of your computer, then don't follow any suggestions that include using the genieo adware uninstaller : it leaves active software behind.

The company know this, but seem unable or unwilling to resolve it.
