blakmal virus

I just received an email which I think is a fraud. Can check you?

"Its content starts:"

It is the head of Marc Andersen of the R & D section for HP computers. We sincerely apologize for this unsolicited e-mail. However, as the official research and development for HP team, we believe that it is our responsibility to issue this notice, not only to our loyal customers, but also to all computer users as well.

We have received reports during the last week of the arrival of a new version of the computer virus Blackmal. This virus infects the kernel of the computer and deletes files with such precision that even the most popular security there program can prevent or even detect.

Hello

You're right, this isn't a legitimate email. -There is another report of it (with what looks like the same content) on the following thread and HP have been notified.

  • How can I check my Mac mini for spyware and other viruses

    How can I check my Mac mini for software spyware and other forms of virus? Recently, I received an electronic invoice which seems to come from Apple on a purchase that I did not. Unfortunately, I answered by clicking on a link that asked me to cancel or manage this purchase that led me to a site that didn't look like an official Apple site. I am afraid that simply by doing so, I welcomed the spyware on my Mac mini hard drive.

    My Mac was purchased in 2011 and runs on OS X El Capitan (version 10.11.6).

    Kind regards

    Politkovskaya

    Receive a fraudulent e-mail for a purchase confirmation, you did not is a very common scam. Remember that you are not misled by providing personal information solicited by this e-mail.

    Unfortunately, I answered by clicking on a link that asked me to cancel or manage this purchase that led me to a site that didn't look like an official Apple site. I am afraid that simply by doing so, I welcomed the spyware on my Mac mini hard drive.

    No harm will come of the fact that you wrote. Fraudulent Web sites that are made to appear as legitimate those who are specially designed to convince you to reveal personal information. If you don't have that, no further action is necessary or justified. Do not install anything, no matter the source or the apparent popularity, in response to one such scam. To do this would be the first step in a path well worn to the misery.

    On the other hand, if you were tricked into providing personal information (like your Apple ID and password) you will need to change your password on Apple ID. Please write back for instructions.

  • Problem with a Virus of Image to disc or something

    Hi all!

    My name is Cecilia, Im from Argentina. First of all, sorry, because my English is too bad, but I really need help. I searched around on Google, in fact and I can´t to find a solution to my problem.

    Recently, I have this kind of virus, malware or other, who is eating my RAM. As soon as I turn on my imac, this active thing by itself, in the form of a 'install', I can see it clearly in the activity monitor. 3 installers, which are essentially the disk images that I also see in disk utility, with names like 'adKrNd.dmg' ghost and other similar things (they still have a different name everytime I turn on the computer). When I want to move to the trash the .dmg, it won´t let me, saying that another application is using these files. I n ' t´know what to do, I downloaded an Anti Virus but it didn t work.

    Could you recommend me a good Anti-Malware for free? Maybe someone knows how to stop this?

    Thank you!!

    Manuela,

    Please NEVER install any antivirus, cleaning or another third-party utility maintenance on OS X. OS X is extremely safe and simply updated day will last probably years. In most situations, using antivirus, compensation or other similar applications will create more problems than they ever solve.

    However you have downloaded something like advertising software that can create a problem. My suggestion is to run a report of EtreCheckof your system. We then look for obvious problems. Please click on the link, download the application and run the report. Once you have the report, please copy and paste into your response to this post.

    If you would like more information on what is EtreCheck, just click on the link and you will find a description of the application.

    BTW, my wife and I spent 3 weeks in Argentina in early 2015. What a beautiful country you have!

  • How do I know if I have viruses / whatever

    It seems that 'my computer' is send emails since, apparently, sent my items... to those who who do not have them.   How to stop this... or if I have a virus / whatever?  Also send emails to myself with nothing else than a "zip" attached file?

    There is no virus affecting the os x in the wild. And it is unlikely that you have been hacked - it's much more likely that someone has taken over your email address and send spam using as the address "from"; It is a very common practice. It's how you receipt of the e-mails apparently yourself - spam with Zip files is still prevalent, but usually he pretends to be an invoice or other document. In fact, it is malware, but probably only affecting Windows - do not open it, of course.

    It's infuriating when someone uses your address in this way, but there is not really anything you can do about it. Usually it stops after some spammers moving on to address some other victim.

  • error Web anti-virus?

    Hello, when I was on the Internet I got a warning that my mac was blocked and if I don't call in 5 minutes a number (toll-free) I will be blocked etc. The source was weberror.com. He said that my Facebook, my card number and my photos are nail and I must immediately call for the Mac support. Also, I checked the number assigned to the pop-up window and the number on the official page of Apple and it's not the same.

    This is my first macbook, so I don't know how to work the macs and I don't know if I should seriously consider or simply exceed...

    It's a scam to scare you to reveal personal information or your credit card.

    If you are in your browser, force quit it (option + command + ESC keys). Then on the revival of the browser, hold down the SHIFT key. Clear your browsing history, cookies, etc and if you have the active menu option developer, also clear cache of your browser. Do not visit this site again, as it sounds like a scam site.

    Here is a basic rule. The legitimate Apple will never pop stuff on your browser, you never say that you have malware or a virus, or any other attempt to inject their presence in your browsing session. Today, we must be very careful to avoid clicking anything on the non-traditional web pages.

I tried to remove a number of these files, but they will not clear the just reappear. I don't know if this is related but I can not also open chrome because it keeps crashing and firefox loads all pages.
