Help! Can consulted malware, what should I do?

Hi all

I tried to access my site work HR, but I must have mistyped the address of the site. Received a scary pop-up with beep sound. He warned me that my computer can be broken and call a 1-800 # to solve the problem. He also warned not not to turn off the computer or risk memory loss. I tried to close the window of the Chrome browser and turn off my computer, but could not close the window without clicking OK in the pop-up window twice (what I did, STINKS!). I was then able to close chrome and restart my computer.

I, of course, does not call the 1-800 number. Check my download folder and don't see anything new here...

Worried that I have can I have accidentally accessed a site with malware or something else harmful to my relatively new (bought summer 2015) MacAir.

I don't want to log-in to my accounts or access to a lot of other things on the web until I know if I have crap on my computer.

How will I know? Can I run a kind of scan? What other steps would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Anything other than a scam. Force Quit Safari. Hold down the SHIFT key and start it again.

Nothing has been downloaded or installed on your Mac. It's just a JavaScript loop that keeps the browser blocked on the page.

    For the last few weeks, whenever I close Firefox 18 (and more recently 19.0), I can't reopen the browser again. The application runs as if it is going to open, then stops and sits there. I had to resort to the re - install the browser every time now, very irritating. He remembers my tabs as they had been, that I want to. I used to open up to 40-50 tabs, but now made an effort to keep them below 20, thinking that it would help work more optimally. I'm tired of re - install the browser all the time. What should I do?

    When this happens, check the Windows Task Manager to see if there is a hidden window or the firefox.exe process is at a standstill?

    To open the Windows Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc

    On the Applications tab, look for any window with the icon of Firefox. See something wrong here? In another thread, users have reported finding what seems to be a rogue process. If you find something, try to select and killing using end task.

    Under the processes tab, look for firefox.exe. According to the displayed columns, you can often see that the program is reading, writing, communicate or simply sitting there, doing nothing. If you have allowed time to stop Firefox and it crashes, you can select firefox.exe and click on end process.

    After that, Firefox expected to start normally.

    Please see this article for troubleshooting suggestions for when Firefox crashes out. https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-hangs-or-not-responding#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it

  • Help - MacBook case closed, what should I do?

    Hey

    last week, I picked up my MacBook and noticed that the background was buckled and distorted and wasn't the cover towards the bottom right - see pictures below. It seems to me like its maybe overheating? But I have no idea so I was wondering if this had happened to anyone else? And what do I do now? I tried to look online and it seems that if this is a problem

    with the battery I should not activate. The advice and any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Helen

    The battery swelled up, and looks like it has practically destroyed your computer. There is nothing you can do to solve this problem at home. Make a Genius Bar appointment with an Apple store retailer or contact a Service Center authorized Apple for their assessment. A subjective view can see if everything is recoverable.

    Is the original battery or did you get a spare someone else that Apple battery?

  • Help a beginner with what should be a simple process.

    Hey guys, I'm a pretty much a poor Photoshop user at best. I can use all the basic tools and can usually figure things out once I have find a tutorial, but I was not able to find the best way to accomplish what seems like a simple step. I have a lot of icons I want to edit by removing the external grey/transparent square.

    I tried the "select > Color Range ' and the 'magic wand' tool, but these tools themselves do not do the job. I couldn't get either of these tools to select only the exact area that I had to delete. The problem seems to be that some of the logo have gray similar characteristics to those who need to stay after that I have remove the external grey areas.

    I need to find you with just the main logo in the square in a transparent .png icon. What would be the best way for a user of photoshop mediocre remove the outer gray image... and have all the edges that are just as strong as now?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    For reference, I have included a few of the icons here:

  • Where can I find what should be my temperatures of the CPU for laptop HP Pavilion DV7-6195us?

    I download a software to view the inside temperatures and even if they have little symbols (green check, red/yellow flame, etc.) by every internal part (e.g. CPU0) I want to know what HP internal temperature range is recommended.  Thank you.

    What CPU is installed in your laptop?

    It isn't really a question of what HP is recommended. Your concern should be what the CPU manufacturer lists as Tjunction for the CPU.

    If your laptop is the Intel Core i7-2630QM installed then lists Intel 100 c as TJunction. I found the technique for your laptop here. You should be concerned if you see time > 85 degrees Celsius. Here is a link to Intel for your processor plug.

      Keep trying. But first, I restart the phone.

      To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

      If she agrees not always the fingerint, reset all settings. No data is affected, but you will have to re-enter all the parameters of the device and the phone will restart on its own. Settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

      Always make sure your finger is clean, free of any oily substance and the same goes for the home button on the phone.

      I bought the new iPhone 6s at the Target store without a contract. When I put my SIM card, iPhone infomed me that it can not be activated.

      The phone is new, legal, covered by warranty accroding Apple its database.

      I called Apple support twice, they said it has been locked by someone, but can't even say the name of the company, which has locked and why.

      Thus, Apple recommended just support me nothing. NOTHING! They even did not provide me the name of the manager who can help me in this situation.

      I called T-Mobile, thay said that they don't lock this device.

      Even the ATT has not answered all my requests.

      Now, I'm dead gold Ibrik. What should do?

      PS. I am totally disappointed by Apple's policy and support. It's terrible that the company with these brilliant products has this terrible attention legal clients.

      Do yourself a favor and remove the application.  Mac do not need AV applications and at best, they will be not hard (but not good either) and at worst will corrupt your system / OSX's built in protection.  Your concerns are malicious software that requires the cooperation of the user to install, not the virus.
