Alert to the Bankworm Virus on our Mac

HELLO my son was just playing on the Mac and received a warning from security on a virus on the computer.  He was asked to download something that can fix this - supposedly Apple - looked pretty authentic, but fortunately he was not sure and everything closed.  Is this a scam or Apple send you such warnings?

It's a scam.

    There is no need to cancel one for Windows since CC subscriptions are not platform specific.  Your subscription allows you to use it on Windows and Mac computers, so just install Mac on Mac files.

    Download/install the desktop application, connect and install applications subscription.

  • Alert to the virus by practicing a game

    By practicing a game I d/l from a site that I was a member for a long time, with no problems. The game has stopped working and I got an error msg that this problem was caused by a W/32/gaobot.worm.gen.u-Win 32/RBot.3eu/Worm, a known computer virus. He's going to suggest, I get a updated antivirus software, but I do not have a current software running.  I'm afraid that the website that I have never had a problem for so long is not as safe as I thought.  or that my antivirus/antispyware is not very good.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thank you.

    A virus is a program.  If you download and run a program, it can do what it is supposed to do.  Antivirus software looks at programs you download and check if they are in their catalog of known viruses.  If it does not what in the catalogue, it assumes that it is good and allows you to run.  Given that catalogs are updated all the time, that they can longer late with an update that discovers (once you have been infected) that the program you have running contains a virus.  Then warns you that you are now infected.

    These days, the infection tends to come because people have exceeded the older software such as Adobe Reader, Java and Flash versions.  Because people are rarely (if ever) looking for updates of these programmes, they are often easily infected with new viruses.  Virus writers are constantly changing and updating their virus so that the anti-virus software is unable to detect them.

    You should contact the company that makes your antivirus software and investigate the best way to clean your machine out of the virus you have with them.  And make sure all your system patches are up-to-date and your various software is up-to-date.  I would check out Adobe, Java, and Flash as they all have a lot of known holes in them that current virus writers take advantage of the.  But, at the same time, if you download games on Internet, it is very possible that files can be infected as well.  Therefore, always get a trusted site or source files.

    Was just curious as to what would be the best go to upgrade the system rather than buying a new computer?

    Thought the 96 GB ram upgrade and possibly a graphics card video NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2 GB but if anyone has any ideas better we are open to suggestions.

    Things I've read: double Possible to upgrade to the model of 3.33 Ghz 12 strands, graphics cards, SSD raid configurations, again once I know not much about it.

    Just curious what would be the best configuration, we will leave money out of the question at the moment and focus on just this issue, do not really want to go with my beloved Mac for something else now.

  • I got the Conficker virus and now I can't get Windows Update to work

    I got the Conficker Virus/worm infected my system, but have now got rid of him (I think).

    I noticed yesterday that Windows Update has just stopped working, it has a red symbol X and said 'windows update cannot currently check updates because the service is not running'. Then, I figured that it could be a virus and tried to download AVG anti-virus, but the virus stopped me to access a website or a program to do with protection against viruses (including all Microsoft sites). Finally, I used a separate laptop and negative to download AVG and some other anti-virus/malware programs and down them mode without failure. I then ran Windows malware removal tool. That seems to have gotten rid of the virus (which has been identified as Conficker), I can now go to any Web site, so it seems that the virus is gone or disabled.

    However I can not even access Windows Update. My guess is the virus disabled some component of it, but how now operate again? Is it possible to re-enable it manually? Or y at - it something that I can download to fix?

    Hello

    Conficker often comes with other malware, so once you think that you're rid of him real problems then begin run through

  • Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

    When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

    Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

    Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

    Norman

    When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

    also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

  • Windows (sometimes) tells me that the anti-virus, I have installed in my PC is not enabled. I press 'Activate now' it lights.

    Hello

    -Which antivirus program is installed on your computer?
    -Did you change your computer, after which the question began?

    Maybe your computer is infected with the virus that prevents you from turning on the anti-virus software.

    I would recommend that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Put your computer in safe mode with network, download, install and run Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if the problem is solved.

    Note: You may lose data that is affected while eliminating malware.

    Step 2:

    Check if you can activate the anti-virus ├a the State to clean up the boot program.

    Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.

  • Home of the iTunes sharing works on Mac, not on iOS

    Hello

    I'm trying to use home sharing to play music from the iTunes library on my Mac on my iOS devices, but it does not work. The devices that I use are a Mac Mini Sierra, who has my iTunes library, a 5 c with iOS 10.0.2, iPhone an iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5 and a MacBook Pro 2011 Sierra running. I have iTunes running on the Mac Mini, with home sharing enabled. The MacBook Pro, I can see and play the shared library. I am connected to the same on all devices iCloud account, and I am connected to home sharing within the parameters of the music on the two devices with the same account. All devices are connected to the same WIFI network to a router TP-Link Archer C7. On the iPhone with iOS 10, home sharing must be one of my options when you click the library, but it is not. On the iPad with iOS 9.3.5, home sharing should appear in the dropdown at the top of the screen my music, but it does not appear. I tried to turn home sharing and turn it back on to the host computer, turning home sharing and turn it back on client devices, restart the host computer and restart client iOS devices. In addition, I tried this on a 4th generation iPod Touch (does not work) and MacBook Air my wife (works). Why is it not this work for my iOS devices?

    I thought about it. In addition to activating iTunes home sharing preferences on the host computer, you must also go to file > home sharing > turn on home sharing and enter your iTunes account information. I doesn't make sense to me that you would have to enable home sharing on two different places to do work with different types of devices, and there is no explanation for this data in the documentation I've seen.
