I ma new to Mac and think i might have a virus. every time i select a web page the machine opens various other web pages. How can i check and remove a virus?
My wife got an email from a friend that said "check this out". Of course she opened it and now she cannot use Facebook--any ideas on what this is and how to fix it?
How can I check if I have the Reverse Trojan Virus on my iMac? Lately I was ping by Adobe to install an upgrade. Given the press about this virus I was wondering if I just loaded it when I updated the Adobe Reader software.
is attached to word documents. a friend rid it from my husbands resume which he was trying to upload to monster. there doesn't seem to be a program to get rid of it on a mac. so everythng i open just gets infected on my 3 machines. other than taking it to a pc and running the program my friend had, is there a (program) that will allow me to get rid of it? i know it doesn't affect my machine but pcs will not take these docs. I don't work in word, just use it to open client documents and copy into quark.
I just read in the news that about 600,000 macs were infected with a new virus. I was looking at this article on Yahoo and in the article it tells you how to look for the virus my type this code in the mac command prompt on something like that?
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?
Have had a possible virus invasion on my macbook pro, to gain access to sensitive banking details. How can I firstly prevent any future invasions and secondly how can i identify the current problem if it exists. Suggest anti-viral software?
I think that someone else can read my emails from my mac computer.There are some informations outside which can only come from my emails. Is there a apple tool to check for trojan, virus or other software. I think someone installed the eblaster software on my mac as i was away.
Info: MacBook Air (11-INCH, MID 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
all of my apps are very erratic, ex; windows opening and closing by themselves, blue tooth keyboard very buggy, unable to change personal preferences, etc.
While 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.
I 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.
So, the last few times I've logged into Facebook, several IM chats open up with me having send a couple of my contacts spam. I'm using a mac so I know I haven't installed anything weird, what could it be? I changed my password but I'll see if it continues.
Sophos found a PC virus in the attachment to a spam email. I trashed the email, and thought that I had gotten rid of the virus. Sophos tells me, however, that the attachment/virus still exists in the Time Machine back-up of my mail.
How do I remove a specific file (such as an email and attachment) in Time Machine?
I'm using a 20" white intel iMac and cannot manage to remove a linux boot disc from the optical drive.At first, the only way that i managed to boot to the linux disc in the first place was from the Startup Disk menu in OSX. I could not even get to the Startup Manager ('opt' at boot) or boot straight to the disc ('C').Now i'm in a position where no matter what i do, the system boots to the linux disc. I cannot even force the startup into OSX to try to eject the disc from there. I've tried holding all of these keys/combinations at startup
So I downloaded an app from this site but I can't seem to find it, is it possible that I've contracted a phishing virus, if so what are the steps i should take to remove it? [URL]
I asked earlier how to remove the favorites bar from my iMac. Had a single reply which went on about Safari 10. ?. Ive checked my computer and it says I'm on Maverick 7.0.6 so the response means nothing to me.
