Were asked to remove all my sent emails, have done so, were invited to remove all items, did my best. So, I have to copy my Contacts list, and then delete it all. HWO can I copy my contacts?, what procedure should I follow? How will I know that I am not copy problem?, what do you recommend.

    My hotmail account has certainly was hacked and used to change the DNS settings on a vauable domain name registration. Indeed, they stole the domain name, which used my hotmail account as account checking the change of domain name registration. It is a police matter. How can I get the security of Hotmail team to freeze the mail in the account and then return the account for me? I am the owner of long-standing account, since 1995.

  • Contact list hack?

    Contact list hack? People from my contact list received an email from 'me' to the 'click here to get rich type. Email is not of me, but a number of email addresses @terra.com.br. Only small groups of contacts both seem to be addressed.

    My email provider is @tpg.com.au and I use Thunderbird on my mac and the application of Apple Contacts for addresses.

    My contact list has been hacked, and what should I do?

    Your contact list could have been hacked is via iCloud (if use you it). Change your iCloud password, just in case. Do the same with your tpg account.

    Another possibility is that at some point you sent mail to many people on your contacts list. In this case, the leak could be any of them.

    You have not been hacked.  Looks that you have installed the malware or adware programs on your hard drive, and it is at the origin of the result of your search be redirected to Yahoo.  You have two options to remove:

    • Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for Mac.  It was developed by an employee trust and respected here.  It is a simple and non-intrusive program that removes malware known/adware from your hard drive.  That's all that.  It does nothing and is not take anything else.  Unlike the antiviruss protection programs, it does not work in the background of your computer, using the resources and also unlike anti-virus programs (which are not necessary on Macs), it is not actively prevent malware infections or adware.  Its only purpose is to remove them.
    • Restart your computer.  As of April 26, 2016, changes to the support article here-> stop the cAds in Safari - Apple charge El Capitan State removes adware when you connect, but only when connecting.  So, if you do not want to use Malwarebytes, it's another option for you.

    Then go to Safari preferences-> Extensions and remove any that you do not install or you don't need.  Then go to Safari preferences-> search, then reset your preferred Google search engine.  Finally, go to Safari Preferences-> general and make sure that your home page has not been changed and if she, change it back to what it was before.

    Is there an antivirus or Security Suite program that is installed with Windows Vista included on the Dell disk?

    If so, what is disable Windows Defender, such as AV/SS can have a spyware component included with what is supposed to disable Windows Defender to not cause conflicts.

  • I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'my documents '.

    I recently upgraded to vista XP, I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'My documents' anywhere. When these files is passed or they deleted in the upgrade?

    In the Security tab, add you in its own right. Go to advanced and control who has access.  Add yourself (if not there) and delete all others.  Then come back and go to the tab of property and take over the case.  Here are a few tips and information on permissions and provides which may help.  But take courage - it seems that we have to fear that found the lack of file and it should be as a matter of time before we can access despite the problems affecting permisions them.  You will have to perhaps give you all the rights and take in hand the folder of the user himself access - but let's see if it works this easier way first (or if it does not, we invite you to try to change the property on the users folder and the permissions, even if she is used to.  In this case, do remove other USERS from the permissions section.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.
