I've used the tools to verify that I indeed do not have the flashback virus. But I've read it comes from updating flash player I believe, I could be wrong, that's why I'm here. I'm not the most tech savvy, relatively new to macs, how do I know if it's safe to update flash player? I've read numerous people saying if you do so you're screwed, just wanted to make sure before I risk screwing up my mbp.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhile on the internet i just got a notice saying that my computer is infected. Mac ran a scan and the finder popped up showing the number of trojans in my HD, Local Disk, etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI opened finder recently and in the "Shared" column on the left, there was a network I didn't recognize. It has the name of a website on it that I've never been to. When I click "Get info," it doesn't tell me anything. When i try to drag it to the trash, it says it can't be deleted. It's clearly some kind of virus, and it really worries me. Obviously I don't want to open it because I'm worried that would make things worse.

I was doing a software update today and a box popped up which looked like it was from Apple saying I needed to update my Adobe Flash. I downloaded it. Afterwards, I started worrying about it and checked on the web and found out there is a virus going around posing as Adobe Flash. I am running Snow Leopard. How do I check to see if I have it and if so, what do I do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently got a Macbook. I love it so far, I've had it for less than a week. I had been using it at my mom's (she uses on of those Timemachine things. They double as a wireless router right?)Anyways that was working great. Now I'm at my dad's where the computers (PCs) have had histories of viruses, worms, and other bad stuff; this is mainly cause my dad and step family are idiots about downloads and aren't very responsible.
Anyways, I was just browsing the internet today - no weird sites that would be fairly dangerous - and a message popped up saying that I could be infected! I was feeling safe just the other day learning that Macs are very safe from computer viruses and stuff. A windows message popped up to notify me (which is really strange because I had only installed Windows office on this Macbook). But I'm thinking that its a fake message and instead some sort of trojan horse. Could it have come through the wireless network to reach this Mac? I dunno what happened, but I'm scared because this Mac is new and I would really like it to not screw up.
But if it does, I got this Mac through my university, so I have support and a warranty, so I could get this replaced if it got really bad right?
i think my Macbook has a virus I have people telling me that they are getting alot of emails from me what should i do? i changed my password on my email and i deleted all of my emails and restarted my computer?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I checked my inbox yesterday morning I had several mailer daemon failure notiices. It appeared that during the night my email system had sent out an email to addressess in my address book that I had not used in a long time, a few of which were no longer active emil accounts hence the failure notice. The emil that was sent apears to people as being sent by me and is directing people to a web site. I immediatley updated with the latest apple updates & there were a few old ones that I had missed.  Does this mean my computer has a vius? Or has it been hijacked in some way? Also has the time now come to install some form of third party anti-virus/spyware software?Â

what can i use to check and see if i have a virus on my computer

I know most people say Macs don't get viruses..but earlier I received a notification on twitter that I had a new follower.I clicked on the persons name and it brought me to a new page. It wasn't her twitter profile, but one of those scam-looking- type pages. I didn't even read it, I just ex-ed it out. Â
In the past, sometimes things pop up, I ex out, and thats the end of it. Every time I try to open a new tab, new window or click into something (like pressing "submit", or "next", or a name on Facebook), one or two other tabs open, obviously those fake/annoying pop up sites, come up.
On my preference settings on safari, it is NOT clicked to go to the new window/tab when opened, and I have "block pop-up windows" selected. (All of the options are selected on the security tab)Â
I haven't recently changed any settings and this extreme amount of pop ups with every click just started happening after the twitter page thing. Should I avoid putting any personal information into my computer (Ex: checking bank account) until the pop ups stop?I don't think its happening when I try using chrome… Could it just be a safari thing?Â

i got my macbook pro a few days ago and i'm enjoying it. the only concern i have is that it might get a virus and and i don't want to put 1.5k of US dollars to waste just like that. i always thought a mac could never get a virus so thats why i bought it but i read that there is a chance that getting a virus might happen. so i am wonder should i pay for a virus protection or does it already come with a virus protector and i don't have to worry?
