MacBook Pro :: DNS Servers Change Automatically - DNS-Changer Virus?
Jun 21, 2012
My DNS servers changes automatically away from the routers setup and into a server in the affected ranges by DNSChanger virus. I have tried the following:Virus scan by ClamXav - no virusesFlush the DNS Cache as per suggestion in above threadHave run the DNSChanger Removal Tool - no infection indicatedRenew DHCP Lease - changes back to router address, but then changes back to infected range within a minute AUTOMATICALLY I have checked addresses on all routers / airports in my network and they seem stable with addresses outside the infected ranges.
The only thing, that seems to work is to load the open DNS servers as per the above thread, but I am concerned that using them is using a "crowded space" and would prefer the automatic allocation to be working without the computer defaulting back to the infected range. Please refer to screen dumps below First the "clear" range:and then the ranges that the computer changes back to within a minute from Renewing the DHCP Lease:

Why have the Mail servers seem to have forgotten my password, when iCloud and Apple servers have not?Username and password are the same for all). Why,when Apple had a much better system than Windows, does Apple tyr to be more and more like Windows: more complicated and less useful?

I logged into my macbook pro the other day and I noticed that my picture was blank (by blank I mean that silhouette icon that you have with new accounts). So i opened my addressbook and reset my picture. A few minutes later, I noticed that my profile picture was reset to blank again so I changed it again and waited. Right before my eyes, the picture changed back to the silhouette again.

I'm looking for a voice changer, price really isn't an issue, but free/cheap would be preferred. I'm looking for a program that COMPLETELY changes the voice, not just add effects like Garage Band does. I did download the demo of Voice Candy, but none of those voices sound human.
So any idea what to get?

I was recently alerted by my internet company that my computer was infected with a virus called “dns changer.” Upon further inspection I found that one of my DNS servers matched up with a list of known rogue DNS servers. I have downloaded several virus scanning programs, such as macscan and virusbarrier x6 which were recommended to me. They didn’t turn up anything. I’ve been through the OS X 10.7 topics on the mac community as well as other websites (couldn’t find the “plugins.settings” in my Internet Plug-Ins folder and tried to pry it out using terminal). The same bad DNS server has mysteriously appeared on other computers that use the same internet connection out of my home and have not have any untrustworthy downloads.

I recently changed my Apple ID. Now will it change automatically on my Mac or will I have to change it myself? How would I go about doing that?

Hello everyone. No I AM NOT looking to mod the apple logo in my menu bar. My question is this: Why does my apple logo change color from time to time? I have seen it Red/Orange, blue, white/grey, and traditional black. Why is it doing this? I have never seen it before. No I haven't changed backgrounds/themes. It isn't all the time, infact I am not sure if it is related to any specific user intervention. I am just curious as to why it may be doing this. I've googled and only founds ways to hack it. NO I am not on hallucinogens. I thought it was related to the Apple Software update, indicating I had new updates, but this was disproven today when it was Red and I checked for updates.

Is there any way to automatically change all the quotation marks in the document to the smart quotes? Or am I going to have to go through and manually change all of them? I've tried adjusting the proofreading settings to use smart quotes then proofing the document, but it's not correcting the quotation marks.

Example: If my track pad hovers over the SEND button in e-mail, it sends it without me clicking. Or the TRASH CAN, it deletes it. How do I make this a manual process, requiring a click?

I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

I have been using a Macbook Pro almost exclusively for about a year now. The one challenge that keeps coming up is how to get Linux ISO's burned on my MBP to actually work on new servers to load a fresh Linux OS.Im running the latest version of OS-X 10.5.5.I've tried using:
1. Disk Utility to simply burn the ISO
2. LiquidBurn
3. BurnX free
* All of these burn the disc without any errors, pass the media verify and are readable on the MBP.
The problem is that when put into a new Supermicro (or any other) server and started the server will not boot from the disc, in fact nothing but a mac seems to be able to boot from these discs.I've taken the same exact ISO and moved it to a windows laptop and burned the ISO with Nero and those discs work and boot on the servers perfectly. This tells me it's not the media and not the ISO.What am I missing here ? I feel stupid that I can't seem to get this to work and I'm getting really tired of making coasters.I hope I'm not alone with this problem. If anyone has any ideas please fill me in.

About 4 days ago, MS Entourage stopped receiving email and sending emails. In fact I can't even delete old email because I keep getting a message that Entourage can't contact the Mac mail servers. I have not changed any mail settings or my password. I swithed over to Mac Mail and was able to received and send messages for about a day and now this program just freezes up when I attempt to use it. Since this problem cropped up I have been able to go to icloud to retrieve and send email. I would like to use the email programs on my MacBook. Is Apple having a problem with their mail servers or this an icloud sync problem with my desktop email programs?

My girlfriend downloaded a bunch of programs and I noticed her Windows installation was a lot slower than when it was fresh. She has an antivirus program called "Uniblue RegistryBooster" and I was wondering if that was a reputable antivirus program or something malicious.

I just plugged my new mac in. I am trying to network it with 2 servers. I keep getting an error that there was a problem connecting to the server. The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Is there a way to fix get these macs hooked up without buying 2 new servers?

At about 11:50 PM tonight, my AirPort Utility automatically opened and told me that I had "No DNS Servers." Then it told me to preform "Double NAT" mode, in which I should use "Bridge Mode." I don't know what is happening here. I never have any problems with my AirPort like this. Should I be worried? Also at about 11:40 PM there was a bright flash outside.
It wasn't lightning, although there is a chance for some later tonight. Just seemed weird at the time. Maybe some wire on the ground transformer blew up. Who knows? Either way, the internet is fine but the Airport behavior is bizarre. Also my stereo system turned on magically just now while writing this. It has been off for weeks! Maybe I lost power shortly?

I have a 24/7 SMB server (RAID6) that I use for media serving via gigabit. How can I auto mount this server without doing a CMD+K everytime from finder? I want them to automatically mount upon login under OSX and show up under "Devices" right under the hard drives. Right now the way it works is, I mount it manually (6 partitions) and it shows up on my desktop. However it does not show up under devices. What I can do is individually drag and drop these mounted drives to the devices area so other applications can easily see it.

While connected to VPN I am receiving the error "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". This happens on any server (Windows 2008) in my company. I am able to connect to those same servers using Virtualbox running XP from the same machine. I am able to connect to those same servers while in the office no problem. I am using the Cisco IPSec client within Lion.I have tried both CIFS and SMB.

I use mac mail for my mac account and exchange. In preferences for smtp server I have set "only use this server" for each account, ie mac account sent emails end up in mac sent mail box and exchange sent emails end up in exchange sent items box.
The problem now is that despite the fact that I select an account to send a mail, lets say my exchange account, Mail does not send the mail and return a dialog box where I have to select the exchange smtp server manually. This also happens when I send a mac mail, then I have to choose the mac smtp server to send the mail out.
This is highly annoying because your work gets interrupted by this popping up "cannot send mail using the server Mac" messages! Only after selecting the server the message is sent. If I uncheck 'only use this server' then all mails are sent but with the mac server! So my exchange sent items box remains empty.

I am looking at Little Snitches Network Monitor and see the backgroundprocess qmasterd connecting to all kind of weird servers. Qmasterd is installed with fcp/compressor, but these are not running. But qmasterd is, according to activity monitor. Even after denying qmasterd all connections with little snitch, qmasterd connects with servers I don't know.What's up? Spyware?

In 10.4 I was able to make a shortcut to create direct link shortcuts to work servers on my dock/desktop so when I click on them they take me right to the specific section of our server.
Now with 10.6, the server is integrated into the finder window, and with my constant opening and closing and needs to access different servers at different times, it's a hassle to go back to the finder window and go through all the file structures to get to where I want to go.
I have tried to make shortcuts to my dock and my desktop (even alias's wont work), is there a way to do this on 10.6?

Whenever I run Software Update and download something (or from iTunes), files pretty much download twice as fast as anything else I download. I'm on cable and I get around 1.5 MBs/second for Apple downloads, and I usually get around 500kbs-900kbs for everything else. Has anyone else noticed something similar?
