Help pop-up windows appearing in the operating system, malicious software removal.

I think I have malware on my computer but I don't know where it comes from or where it is on my machine to kill him.

The symptom is adds jump in on the upper left corner as the toast notifications (for downloading software, 1 for anti-malware software and one for a game.) Anyone who is familiar with that? Ideas on how to remove it?

Thank you!

You have probably installed adware with something else that you recently installed.

You can follow Apple instruction manual for the removal of adware, or use the free automatic tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac.

It is noted that the instructions for manual removal of Apple are usually outdated. Sometimes much obsolete. It depends on when Apple finally does something with their instructions page. If you prefer to manually remove the adware on your system, you can find many more instructions security update Mac adware deletion page.

  • I have a Photosmart B109a with Windows Vista as the operating system. I can't print any documents.

    When I go to print a document, the appropriate box comes up to a selected number of copies etc., the printer connects correctly and then sounds like it is printing. Nothing is printed in fact when the paper comes through.

    Just in case it was a fault of the printer, I reconnected it a Deskjet HP's 803C and it is the same thing. The additional mystery is that the images print perfectly. I use Microsoft Office 2010 for documents. All ideas

    Thank you for your reply and my apologies for not recognizing sooner. However, problems went much deeper when my computer crashed. Hard drive kept saying that it was full and therefore would not accept certain instructions. All now corrected with a new hard drive which has solved printing problems. Thanks again.

  • Modal Popup window skins help pop-up window

    Hello everyone,

    Today, I walked on a question about popup windows.
    I created an application with pop-up windows for editing and inserting new records.
    I left the model element to label "optional with help.
    When I now click on a label of the element help - pop-up window appears, but it is hidden behind the window pop up, I work.

    Y at - it a solution for this.
    Is it possible to change the order of the aid or the modal window popup?

    All advice is appreciated.

    Concerning
    Marc

    There are a lot of options to customize the behavior of the jQuery dialog box. You can set the height as auto, but you must specify a fixed width based on the content.

    $( "#TEST_POPUP" ).dialog({ height: "auto", width:500 });
    

    Default value for height is automatic, you may not specify it.

    See http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Dialog for more information.

  • BlackBerry 9550 smartphones - cannot load the operating system and a re-boot loop

    Sorry if this is going to be a long post.

    I've been running OS 428 and a hybrid (428 based) since it was leaked without a hitch. 2 weeks ago, my 9550 rebooted on its own with a JVM ERROR 534 (I think it's the code because the screen just turned white with the error message and then rebooted on its own). He never started up properly then. The boot process dates back to about 3/4 of the way then the FMV of error appears again then re - start. A batt pull does not help.

    I wiped and loaded (loader.exe) operating system but when loading cod, it will again restart (reboot occurs when email.cod is loading). Tried several times and never loaded properly. I tried a load OS 428 right and it went well. When it is started successfully, I wiped the device and loaded the hybrid that I used before and everything was fine. When filtered 451, I upgraded and everything is fine - for a week!

    He has just restarted on its own again. I think with the same JVM error code! I'm unable to load the operating system using loader.exe. I even tried the "loader.exe /nojvm" switch does not. I wiped with Jl_cmdr or BBSAK, still no go. I then used DM BB. I loaded OS 320 and loaded correctly. Then I wiped and loaded the OS. It is not load or when it loads successfully, the JVM error still appears 3/4 of the way of the boot process.

    So when I load OS 320, it will load fine even after a battery pull. If I use OS 428 or 451 (both narrowed via Shrink-a-BONE), JVM error no longer appears when using the device or during the startup process. Don't forget not that previously I was using either straight (shrunken) 428 or 451 and a hybrid with no problems.

    I decided to try a derelict OS 451 and used the "Platform.alx" of OS 320 file. It works so far! Pulled the battery about 4 - 5 times already and loaded all my apps and no JVM error for about 2 days. I tried right OS 320 and he also re - will start on its own several times a day.

    It looks like completely wipe the device using BBSAK, Jl_cmdr and DM BB do not really completely clear the device.

    What could have caused the reboots and error JVM?

    EDIT: I tried to wipe the device using the erase option in the security options. The status bar has reached 100% and then restarting the device, the FMV of error pops up again and my 9550 goes back to a continuous process of reboot (even pulled the battery).

    EDIT: I tried the command line "javaloade.exe usb - cloth" to wipe the device and the OS loaded (using loader.exe /nojvm) very well. In the end, shippers said "updated successfully". The unit restarted and about 3/4 of the way - another jvm error! I removed the battery and wait a few minutes before re - insert and is currently the starting now... Will update what's going to happen...

    EDIT: Yes! It finally starts. Will try an another battery pull... 1/4 of the way in which the boot process - another JVM error! Pulled the battery and restart... Error JVM still about 50% in the boot process.

    EDIT: Can't get any OS to load using 'loader.exe' or 'loader.exe /nojvm. It stops during email.cod loading, then restarts. I was able to load OS 320 well via BB DM. problem is when I click on Options, error: "error starting net_rimm_bb_options_app: symbol KeywordFilteredScreen.» KeyChar "not found" is my watered device? Help, please. Thank you!

    EDIT: I tried to load the operating system by:

    -remove the battery.

    -Connect to the PC.

    -Command prompt: command /nojvm loader.exe

    -When it says connection to the device and the battery with a red 'X' icon is displayed, I re - insert the battery.

    -The operating system loads very well but are unable to properly start like 3/4 of the progress bar startup occurs an error in the JVM and then reboot again. Help!

    --> Was able to start properly after a second reboot not forced. Will try a battery pull... JVM error again... Will allow it to boot on his own w/o a battery pull...  Error JVM... Removed the battery, re - insert... Error JVM... allowed to start on its own... Error JVM!... I remove the battery and reinsert after 5 minutes... JVM error yet... What is it recharges without end?

    Just had my 9550's replaced and all of the good mother!

  • Question about the operating system reinstall on Portege R500

    I bought the version of 64SSD R500, and for some reason any that it struck me to check if there was a DVD player to this topic.

    It was rather annoying.

    I know it's easy to buy an external drve to copy software etc on the Portege, so this isn't so bad.

    However, I'm considering a re - install, possibly to XP, but maybe just to reduce the amount of repulsive of bloatware I had on my computer when I turned on.

    Now to the crux of the matter: if I use an external USB drive, I need USB drivers. If I delete the operating system, which will remove the drivers.

    Finally, my question is: how in the name of hell is someone supposed to put a new installation in a R500?

    Thank you for your patience.

    I understand everything up to the point with the bloatware.

    But what I Don t understand is: what do you want with a USB hard drive? I hope that you don t average a USB - HDD (it s a bit confusing). ;)

    Usually, you can use all the drives without the need of some drivers because the machine offers you the ability to boot from a USB device after switching on of the machine and see the Toshiba logo...
    You need only press F12 and select the option to boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive. That's all.

  • There is always a pop-up window appearing on my screen, everytime I turn on my computer

    There is always a pop-up window appearing on my screen, everytime I turn on my computer. How can I get rid of him? I have no idea how it started. I find this very annoying.  his request for a question if I wana run a specific software, but if I try to run it... nothing happens.

    Hello

    It would have helped us if you had given the name of this specific software

    now, guess that it is Malware as you do not give the name of it!

    Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

    You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

    If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    If the error persists after scanning use this program to out startup

    This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more.

  • At startup, a pop-up window appears that wants to update virus Possible backup "Cloud"? Ethernet doesn't work anymore.

    Win 7 64 professional. on Gigabit P45T-ES3G, cpu: Intel E8400, 8GiB ram, controller Ethernet Realtek 8111 / 8168B.
    Initial symptom: cannot access network - that is to say everything that is connected to the Ethernet port... System worked OK for months. Problem started
    little by little, but is now 100% failure.  Checked the TCP/IPv4 properties and is set to addr IP 192.168.1.105, subnet 255.255.255.1 gateway default 192.168.1.1 and server preferred DNS 8.8.8.8 alternate 8.8.4.4.
    Ran a LiveCD of PCLINUX 2012.2 on the machine, all the functions of the Ethernet (Internet and printers) are working perfectly, so material is OK.
    Quite recently noted a pop-up "Cloud Backup" start-up that wants to send some kind of so-called information backup somewhere.
    I can post a screenshot (png file), if I was told how to.  (I have the screen shot, I downloaded on a USB - stick, and)
    can send this computer). The context menu offers a "Cancel" button I choose always.
    I went to msconfig and two programs found "backup" in their names: NTI BackupNow EZ and EasUS Todo backup Applications
    and not both, but the popup still appears at startup.  I can't find anything in the Remove Programs list that looks at it could be this.
    I ran Microsoft Security Analyzer and MS malicious software removal tool, and both are nothing after full several sweeps of the hour.
    I also have AVG and CCleaner, which do not complain either. Any other symptom: I think that the starting time is excessive.

    I would be EXTREMELY reluctant to reinstall Windows, I have some paid programs, but also a fee which has been rather difficult to install
    due to its Protocol of security installation.

    Hi Doug,.

    first of all, be careful with this clearner. I wouldn't recommend them at all. At best they delete files you want to join, at worst they are doing bad things in your registry!

    Pass, you can have a few ongoing struggles (at least the potential for it) with AVG and MSE... I would recommend Malware Bytes anti-malware detection.

    You are probably right to be curious, I don't know why 'cloud' would need backup.

    Can you connect in safe mode?

    Try this troubleshooting and let us know what happens:
