Clicked on a questionable link in my iPad emails by mistake... should I worry?

Hi all

I was very tired when I did... just the time to take... I am usually very wary but this mail came from a so-called friend whose account has obviously been hacked.  I clicked on the link in my email by accident like at the time, I always thought it was authentic.  The page took me to what is called ' something Britain... "a Facebook page... at least there's Facebook comments under article or whatever it is."  In any case, as I was on my iPad (ipad3) I hope I will be OK, as I've heard iPads are protected, but don't know about the emails. The same e-mail came through my iMac and I of course deleted without opening it.  I have a problem on my Facebook details too compromised.

Thanks in advance!

If your iPad is not jailbroken, there will be no problem to click on

This link.

Unfortunately, it can not even on your Facebook account.

Check with their security/helpdesk for help that Facebook is a 3rd

Party app not Apple.

  • Firefox does not account for single click and has double click for a feature need simple click as a bookmark link, enter in a text box, press a button

    Firefox 7.0.1 on Win7 pro 64

    Hello team FF & community.

    sometimes FF 6/7 shows a VERY strange behavior:
    While 'normal' things on Web sites (click on the links, edit text, scrolling, evolution of the tabs boxes) FF starts to ignore my simple clicks. The only way to work is with double-click instead of single-click (i.e. for links, enter a SBO, switch tabs, even to open a menu of Firefox) for all actions.

    Previously, the last example was about a minute

     https://plus.google.com/circles/find
    

    While moving to a "circle" contact - FF changes only are allowed double clicks. No errors, no message.

    I found this behavior buggy on many different sites - simple websites and with complex features, too - in the past few weeks since bf6 + 7 are current versions.

    With my other two questions, I get the idea that the current releases of FF contain more bugs in versions between FF1 to FF3.

    OK, I think that this issue (change of behavior: needs double click to get the reaction of simple click)-isRESOLVED: -

    I have disabled all addons and enabled/tested one by one... it was, apparently, the add-on "Multi links 3.0.0.16" was the problem.

    I replaced it with "Snap Links 2.1.1" (installed, but not yet tried a new), and less than a week daily work of 10-12 I never got this bug again.

    SOLVED!

    It happened once before, but I don't remember the solution.

    A few days ago started IE9 conventional if I want to save a file when I click on a video link.  I want to happen is for Windows Media Player to view the video.  I don't want to save on my computer, and if I did, I know how to right click and choose Save target as...

    It is very frustarting as Windows hides these obvious options without giving you a way easty to change.  I don't know what has caused the change at first.

    WMP is set as default player for all supported media types.

    Solution: Although WMP is already set as default program for all its supported video format, I had to go to set your default programs and select explicitly.

    Looks like the info bar itself would have the option available.

  • I clicked on a phishing link and connected, my phone will be vulnerable? The scammers will be able to access remotely to my phone?

    I had clicked on a phishing link, then connected, I'm afraid that they can now record my calls or go through my phone

    Officials of the phishing link will probably not connect immediately - you still have time to change your login information.

    I recommend to do so as soon as possible.

    With your Apple ID, the most anyone can do is look through your received iMessages (no SMS) and all the data you downloaded/synchronized with iCloud such as Contacts, Notes, etc., but only if you have activated sync iCloud for these items.

    Your calls will not be recorded.

  • Clicking on a mailto: link using the wrong account to send an e-mail. Is it possible to designate a default account?

    I have several accounts that I use in thunderbird. Everything works fine and I have no problem at all. But when I am on the web and click on a "mailto:" link on a Web site, Thunderbird always opens the new e-mail window using the first account in the "stack". I never use this account to send mail... I want to use another account but cannot figure out how twell TB that is.

    At the top e-mail account is the default e-mail account.

    Tools > accounts settings
    or
    Right-click on the name of the e-mail account, and then select "settings".

    Select the desired default mail account name.
    Click on "Account Actions" to get the drop down options
    Click on "Set as default"
    Click OK to save the changes.

  • Help! I'm unable to download Firefox. The "run" window never opens when I click on the download link.

    I am currently using Internet Explorer Version 8.0.6001.18702IC on my PC desktop and want to switch to Firefox. I clicked on the download link in several places, with no results at all

    Do not try to run the installer of Firefox directly, but save the file on the desktop and start the installation with a double click.

    You may need to disable your antivirus temporarily if you still have problems.

    You can find the latest version of Firefox in all languages and for all systems operating here:

  • CTRL-SHIFT-click to open the link in a new tab (v10)

    I came back to Firefox recently after trying to use Chrome for a while. I welcome my return, except that in the update of v9 to v10, I found one of my favorite keyboard shortcuts no longer work as he had.

    In v9 and precedent, Ctrl-Shift-click opens a link in a new tab and switched to it immediately. V10, Ctrl-Shift-click still opens the link in a new tab, but does not pass, even with Options: tabs: when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately enabled.

    When you use the mouse to open a link in a new tab, it switches on it immediately as expected.

    I thought I was going to have to live with it (or not), but then to find some documentation noting that Ctrl-click now offers the functionality I was used to.

    Great! However, backward compatibility with old features could save me some temporary disappointment and some additional research.

    BTW, I noted in another post several of the reasons why I returned to Firefox from Chrome.

    Two key combinations seem to work in Firefox 8, 9. and 10 for me.

    Change when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately from disabled to enabled reverse functions {Ctrl + click} and {Ctrl + Shift + click}.

  • Setting IE/Live Hotmail as default mail client, so it responds to a click on a mailto link: link and not Outlook Express

    It is actually in two parts/problems; Maybe (probably) closely related.
    ... And it's weird because it used to work (weird especially when it comes to problem no. 1 b).

    Problem # 1
    When I click on an e-mail address embedded (a mailto link :) in some (.doc .rtf, .html, etc.) I opened, I want to have the system open IE, connect me to my Windows Live Hotmail (http://mail.live.com/...) account and open the new page/screen e-mail message.) He used to do this. I have somehow messed up things upwards; How I know not (duh). Instead, it will now fire a new Message Outlook Express 6.0 dialog box.

    (1) I'm under Win XP Pro SP3 with all the critical updates installed.

    (2) I have a hotmail.com account and the system has my saved credentials.

    (3) I have Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail is installed.

    (4) I have Windows Live Messenger is set up (under the menu item Tools/Options/Connection tab) with:
    a. "automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I connect Windows' checked
    b. "'Main window open Windows Live Messenger to Windows Live Messenger startup' UNchecked '.
    c. "automatically open a session when connected to the Internet" checked

    (5) I have Windows Live Mail set up (the tab Tools/Options/connections point menu - sign in to Windows Live services section) to "Stop signing In" - i.e. the "Sign In" button is enabled and the 'Stop Signing In' button is disabled (because it is already selected)

    This configuration (4 & 5) is so when I right click on the Windows Live Messenger icon in the system Notification bar and select 'Mail box' in the menu contextual, Messenger opens IE to my Hotmail Live (http://mail.live.com/...) account, sign me and puts me in my Inbox as opposed to the opening of the Live Mail client. No problem, it's what I want. The only time where I use the client Live Mail is when I have to compose an e-mail with pictures incorporated into the body of the message (which is rare), and then I manually start it (Live Mail). This can be done using IE/Live Hotmail; I can only attach photos there, not incorporated the. That's how my system was config support when you click on a mailto link: link would open up IE/Live Hotmail and not Outlook Express.

    In addition,
       
    (6) I have:
    a. under the radio button "Use my current e-mail program" Set Program Access and Defaults/Custom is selected and have the box "enable access to this program" UNchecked for Outlook Express (I also tried uncheck the 'enable...) "for Windows Live Mail - no change.

    I then tried...
    (b) in "Add/Remove Windows components" untick the Outlook Express check box. I then let XP run installation and rebooted.

    The reason why I did 6 b is to see what tracks if Outlook Express is not installed.
    Now, where is start to get weird and brings me to...

    Problem no. 1 b
    Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how?

    After step 6 b restarts, I open a file with a link to e-mail built in, clicked on it and now it opens nevertheless OE6.0
    So I open Win Explorer and of course the folder as c:\programs\outlook Express is still there and complete with all files .dll, .exe, etc..
    Now I'm really scratching my head! I know I said XP installation does not install Outlook Express.

    So now I decide to play with fire...
    I open the upward Task Manager to see which runs when the new Message of OE6.0 dialog box is in place (this is msimn.exe)
    So just to smile and laugh, I msimn.exe and rename it to Xmsimn.exe, go back in the file with the link, click on it and what's going on, you guessed it, OE6.0 is running! I switch back to Win Explorer, and the renamed file is still there, but now IS msimn.exe BAAAACK!
     
    Now, here's where it comes down right spoooooky. I created a new folder in C:\Programs\Outlook Express, all of the files selected in the C:\Programs\Outlook Express and drop them in the new folder. And then looking at the contents of the Outlook Express folder in the right pane (which is now empty other than the new folder), one by one, all the files OE re - APPEAR in the OE folder.
    WHAT IS PAST WITH IT!

    All the files that I moved to the new folder are still there, including the renowned Xmsimn.exe.
    It is as if the system will not let you remove the OE components and withdrew them a .cab file, somewhere, even if I said do not install Outlook Express!

    Now, this problem is really secondary to # 1 has. I don't really need the answer, he just freaks me the system is something like this and I would like to know how and why of it. I use any OE 6.0, it's just take disk space.
    (I even uninstalled my installation of MS Office Outlook)

    And I don't like how # 1a is resolved. I am quite able to pull the top of RegEdt32 or what is needed to fix it (after backup the registry and/or a restore point first, of course.)

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Well, I found the answer to problem # 1 to myself.
    Somehow the IE Tools/Internet Options/programs Internet/tab setting programs section e-mail field has NOT been defined. It was empty.
    I put it to "Windows Live Hotmail" and BINGO! Click on an embedded mailto: link and pops up a new IE window connected to my Hotmail account, open electronic 'Composer the Message' page with the To: field with the link I clicked on.

    Now if only one of you gurus out there can answer problem # 1 b (can Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how? -see my OP) I'll be in sleep with nightmares of moved files reappear magically in an empty folder!

  • When I click on a link to seend an email to someone, I get an erro message which indicates that the yahoo mail server can not connect and my messages are not sent.

    Problems sending messages.

    When I click on a link to seend an email to someone, I get an erro message that says that this yahoo mail server can not connect

    and my messages are not sent. I have a total of 9 messages that have been blocked.

    Do I need to have a pop3 address or can you tell me what is happing.

    You must have an account set up under Tools | Accounts | Mail to send from Windows Mail.  If you click on a link, it will not lead you to a webmail interface, but called instead a mail client, such as WinMail.  Around that, the only way is to copy the email address and paste it into a new message you have composed of webmail.

  • (How) I can say the Vista Windows Mail should not be run when I click on a Mailto link: link?

    I use Gmail for my email...

    .. But if I click on a Mailto link: link, Vista (is there a dull moment, & then) running Windows Mail.
    I don't want to do that...
    (I would be happy if he just said there is no set program to manage this type of link (although optimal would be running (or just transfer me to the operation) Gmail).)
    .. but when I tried to turn it off, it wasn't one of the options.
