How can ensure me that my Macbook Pro has no Malware?

I entered an address letter-by-letter on the URL bar for my class and apparently I probably missed a key because the address I typed in that took me to a fragmented site that I think could be the correct Web site, so I clicked on a link and the next thing you know this pop up came to tell my passwords , photos, etc. would be stolen if I have not called a number they provided. I tried to get out of this tab it wouldn't let me, I tried to exit the browser and he has not left me so, I then tried to restart the computer too with no success because he was blocked, my only option was to press ok on the pop up which I did not do and force quit the browser instead which worked. I was wondering if this is a credible reason to think that my Mac has been infected with anything. Thank you!

    I have Lr 5.7 on my iMac and want to PS and LR creative cloud. Where can I start and how can ensure me that all my work in LR to iMac is in phase with the CC?

    Anita

    CC versions are simply upgrades of what you have now. When you install LR and open for the first time, he'll find your catalog LR 5 file, make a copy and convert that copy to a CC/LR6 version. This will bring all to LR CC/6 without withdraw LR 5 or the catalog LR 5 file.

    But first exactly what version of Mac OS X you are using on your iMac. For the new version of LR, you need at least OS X 10.9.

    Hi Mrsfolsom,

    You must go to the date of the backup to the time Machine and from there you will need to check the images that are there in Lightroom manually.

    Please let us know if it helps.

    Yes, read the converted file and use "delete from table" as follows:

  • How can I know that PC Cleaner Pro removal is removed completely from my computer?

    How will I know if PC Cleaner Pro is gone entirely?  After learning, it was spyware, I uninstalled it through Control Panel.  After seeing several posts on the deletion, I looked through the registry and see nothing that says PC Cleaner Pro but identifies my Iolo System Mechanic PC Cleaner Pro as a protector of malware correct while I had both Avira and Norton it did not detect either...  So where is it?  I get no pop ups for PC Cleaner so I he and where is he?  From many different sites on its withdrawal invites you to download the fix.  None of them are legitimate?

    How will I know if PC Cleaner Pro is gone entirely?

    It seems that there are TWO different PC Cleaner Pro there. One is the legitimate program (but there still little or no value). The other is a thug. Malware. There are chances of your infected PC.
    Only SUPERAntiSpyware is NOWHERE near enough! You really need to run MBAM (the free version is very well; you can refuse trial):
    Very well, you will need to search for rootkits as well.

  • How can ensure me that I am connected to the Wan, not the Base Station?

    I have one extreme as a base station, with an express the upstairs of the extension of the network. There are green lights on both, the utility displays the Express connected to the extreme and it is not a big house, so it seems that the network is configured correctly.

    However, when I'm near the Express, my MacBook Pro connection speed is significantly slower: 9Mbps, vs 30Mbps when close to the extreme. As far as I know, I am always connected the low extreme, rather as the Express I sit beside.

    Is there a way to say that I am connected to? Or y at - it a way to choose who to connect to?

    Thank you-

    In AirPort Utility, click images extreme and Express. A list of connected devices appears in the windows that appear.

  • Remote Desktop failed, how can ensure me that this will not happen?

    Hello

    I have a computer that is put in place in a holiday home in another State I want to be able to access through Windows Remote Desktop.  The computer connects wireless to the Internet via a router Linksys WRT160Nv3.  I had to check out the computer configured with Remote Desktop and it worked very well for many months.  I was able to access it very well.  All of a sudden this weekend, which coincides with my father, bringing a new laptop in the House (and the wireless network), the first computer remote desktop connection has stopped working.  I've trained my father on the phone to go in the settings of the router (web interface) and change the Port Range Forwarding IP address since the old internal IP address of the desktop to its new IP address remotely, and this fixes the problem.

    My question is, how can I avoid this problem does not happen?  Is it possible that I can get the router to always assign the same internal IP address to the same MAC hardware?  Or is there another solution I'm missing?

    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    If the router is capable of a DHCP reservation, then that will solve the problem. It should be under the first tab on the router configuration page. You must acquire the MAC address of the computer, and then assign an IP address. Therefore, it assigns this IP address on the computer only.

  • How can ensure me that the width of my page is optimized for all monitors?

    I have a portfolio-ish site, and I noticed that on smaller screens, there is a white space if you scroll to the right. On the giant screens (like my 27 "iMac), design is not whole screen.

    http://treyflorkiewicz.com/

    How can I fix?

    Thank you!

    I believe that you have used rectangle frames with image fill on the page as a backdrop. You can use rectangles of width with images as a background page that would fit on any screen.

    Thank you
