How to clean up after XcodeGhost malware (iPhone)?

Hi all

How can you clean up after XcodeGhost on iPhone (not jailbroken)? I had one of the applications...

If I reset to factory settings, how do I re - import my contacts with a backup or other means without the malware again? The infected application is probably in the backup, even if I deleted the application now.

Thank you!

Apps are not included in the backup file. That their data is not in the backup. Apps are loaded from the source of Apple.

  • Satellite A305 - how to clean the keyboard after juice spills

    Hey guys,.

    I had a the sSatellite series A305 an i could not find discussions on this exactly.
    Basically whats up's had one incident minor orange juice on the left side of the keyboard thankfully not a lot of juice to all minor.
    I managed to clean most on the surface. And had to work it's good enough to get out of the speaker box.

    However, some of the keys are a bit of stick now, i wondered if there are techniques to withdraw safely on that I must do before I try to block these keys. Hmm pressing on enter appear... in any case...

    I had one of these laptops before a few months ago, but one of the keys is broken somehow, after that, I got a little worried because I had to basically return it and get another laptop from work. If im sure it was a defective key with the last one I was not playing with keys, but I'm not sure how sustainable this is. Also this will probably also help to learn how to clean the keyboard, theres a bit of a dust and grump under the space bar which has been botherin me an i have no idea how to remove one get clean the dirt below.

    I'll check this post when I wake up in the morning. If you know the techniques of hair removal good explain please, I'm not very good with directions so patient with me.

    Hello

    To be honest, you will never be able to clean the keyboard. Break down the water is maybe not so bad, but the juice is sticky and can not be cleaned properly.
    I'm afraid that you need a new keyboard. :(

  • How can I reinstall safari on the iphone running ios 8.1.3 5 safari disappeared after the last update

    How can I reinstall safari on the iPhone 5 with ios 8.1.3? Safari disappeared after or while I was doing the update.

    Safari is an integrated application and cannot be deleted, but it can be hidden by setting restriction.  Check settings / general / Restrictions and see if Safari is simply disabled.  If not, then it must be somewhere on your iPhone because it can not be deleted, that is maybe it drew into a folder, so use Spotlight search to look for.

  • Satellite L350-24U: how to clean the keyboard after having poured orange juice

    Hello out there.
    I spilled my L350-24U with Orange juice.
    Now, I have 4 keys to self-retaining :-(

    Can someone tell me how to clean the keyboard without damaging the laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, it's still a stupid situation
    Usually you can remove the keyboard of the laptop very easily.
    The keyboard is fixed with screws hidden under thin plastic cover near the line of F1 - F12 key.

    If you would remove plastic this cover then you would be able to remove the screws as well. Then you could lift the keyboard carefully and could disconnect the flat cable of the keyboard and the motherboard.

    Notes; two small latches on both sides of the connector must be moved in order to disconnect the cable.

    Then you could remove the keyboard and could clean it with a damp lint.
    PS: the caps can be removed too.
    But be very careful. You must raise the CAP to get it for free.

    There are many videos on youtube...

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup unit and transfer of media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is itself saved separately against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

    How to clean my computer polymorphic infections?

    Hello

    1. do you get an error message or error code?

    2. you remember changes to the computer before the show?

    Professional protection antiviruss can use bait files to study the behavior of a virus and evaluate detection methods. This is particularly useful when the virus is polymorphic. In this case, we can do the virus infect a large number of files of the bait. Infected files can be used to test whether an anti-virus detects all versions of the virus. A polymorphic virus infects files with an encrypted copy of itself.

    You can download Microsoft Safety scanner, which provides on-demand scan, and remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It works with your current antivirus software.

  • How can I remove chum research Malware on my Mac

    How can I remove chum research Malware on my Mac

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming model.

    1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. The files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change within about a minute, so they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Search in the folder with the name of all these forms:

    com.something.daemon.plist

    com.something.Helper.plist

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    Here, something is a string, which may be different in each instance of VSearch random meaningless. So far it has always been an alphanumeric string without punctuation signs, such as "disbalance" or "thunderbearer."

    You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

    There may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com.somethingelseUpd.plist

    where George can be an empty string of sense that something different. Yet once, there may be more than one file of this type, with different values of Gisele.

    Here is a typical example of an infection VSearch:

    com.disbalance .net - preferences.plist

    com.thunderbearerUpd.plist

    You will have files with similar names, but probably not identical to these.

    If you feel confident that you have identified the files above, drag only the files - nothing - to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password. Close the Finder window.

    2. open this folder as in step 1:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    Move to the trash all the files with the name of the form

    com.something.agent.plist

    where something is one of the strings that you found in step 1. There may be not all of these files.

    3. If you have whatever it is moved to the trash in step 1 and step 2, restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Do not remove the folder 'LaunchAgents' or "LaunchDaemons", or anything else inside of one or the other, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. Records are a normal part of Mac OS X. The terms "agent" and "demon" is a reference to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    4 reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

    and click on

    Set on the current Page

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    5. If you do not find the files or you are not sure about the identification, after what you have found.

    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.

    6. the penalty may have started when you have downloaded and run an application called 'MPlayerX' or "PDF Pronto." If there is an element with a name in the Applications folder, delete it.

    This Trojan horse is often found on the illegal Web sites that traffic in content such as movies pirated. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit these Web sites and follow the instructions to install the software, you can expect more of the same and worse, to follow. Never install software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or which has been downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.

    In the aspect of security & confidentiality of system preferences, select the general tab. The marked anywhere radio button should not be selected. If this is the case, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, and then select an other keys. After that, do not ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown Director.

    Then, still in system preferences, open the pane of the App Store or software update and check the box marked

    Install the system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later version)

    or

    Automatically download the updates (OS X 10.9 or earlier version)

  • How to clean the rose Smart Cover for mini iPad 4

    Nice day

    I've got this mini iPad in a pink box Smart Cover 4. I used to use the stand many times because it's much pleasant to use in this way. However, after a few days, I noticed that the inside part of the cover of the screen picked up dirt and got more dirty so I stopped to use it as a stand and when I do, I put in something like cloth to cover the support to the surface where I'll put it on. How to clean it? As it seems to be a real leather or Microfiber, or what they call this, in my view, it is dangerous to use cleaners or detergent or alcohol to clean. I tried dry cloth, but it is not effective.

    Thanks in advance,

    Vinean (Philippines)

    Use a cloth moistened with a little washing up liquid.

  • Satellite A300 - how to clean?

    Hi dear Toshiba owners;

    I would like to clean my laptop after 9 months of good use. Well,.

    I'm not talking about cleaning the keyboard or LCD, of course, I'm no fan talking inside. I've noticed recently that this laptop is producing heat wrong lately (especially on the left side of the touch pad - location of HARD drive I guess?). So, while I'm shopping, I found a pill that can spray some kind of liquid. I read the instructions on the label, it could be used almost anywhere to clean and remove dust (LCD, keyboard, DVD and many tips) seems fine.

    I've always heard those for cleaning of ventilation of the laptop and its fan, so it is wrong to use it, I bought? If not, what is my alternative and how to clean the fan and vents for better management of traffic and the air heat?

    BTW, where can I find the service manual for my Toshiba? (in an educational purpose and cleaning... Please)

    THX!

    Hello

    On cleaning the laptop, I recommend searching forum where you can find hundreds of threads I and this interesting article from Toshiba:
    [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    Service manuals cannot be downloaded. I think that they are only available for Toshiba and the FSA. You can download the manual that normally comes with the laptop.

  • How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive? Almost complete. Says "low disk space". Thank you in advance.

    How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive?  Almost complete.  Says "low disk space".  Thank you in advance.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Follow a few basic maintenance note.

    1.5 the tool provided in Windows to remove unwanted temporary files is disk cleanup. To access this tool select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. You must then run Disk Defragmenter.

    1.6 using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    1.7. If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    1.8. a better alternative program to disk cleanup is cCleaner. The freeware version works well for a home user and must be downloaded from Piriform program provider:
    http://www.CCleaner.com/download

    1.9. When you open cCleaner you will see four large icons to the left of the window. Here's cleaner them, registry, tools, and Options. For routine maintenance, you normally acceding Cleaner (this is not the mentioned registry cleaner later). When using for the first time only, you can accept the default settings.

    1.10. some observations on the parameters. On my computer, I do not have the boxes before the passwords saved selected. In a less secure environment, you could check this option and set cCleaner to run automatically when the computer starts. You also cannot check the boxes in front of shortcuts from the Start Menu, desktop shortcuts and historical form. You must check the boxes according to your needs. Bad first time options causes irritating no disasters.

    1.11. the second icon that you see when you open cCleaner's registry. A reserve many experienced users have about cCleaner, it's that it comes with a registry cleaner. This tool should not be used. By using a registry cleaner, but it is the case, provides significant benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which cannot be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that that implies. You will avoid any possible problem of not not by clicking on the Save icon.

    1.12 the third icon that you see when you open cCleaner is tools. If you click this icon, it gives you access a routine plus service options. The first two tools are uninstalled and commissioning. I do not use these tools, preferring to use other software options. The third tool is the restoration of the system, which is covered in the next paragraph. The fourth tool is Wiper Drive and you will find reviews about this tool later

    1.13 removing the system restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

    1.14. you can't remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

    1.15. in normal circumstances, you probably rarely need to use Driver wiper. However, there are situations like if you gave the computer to someone else, then the tool may be useful. Please note that the wiper Drive, opening, generates a warning message, which should not be dismissed lightly. Using wiper Drive for the wrong reason could have serious consequences.

    1.16 the fourth icon is labeled Options. Many configuration options are available here. You can configure cCleaner to run when start you but remember that this will slow down the boot. Another setting allows you to include or exclude cookies. Yet another allows files named to exclude.

    Can I clean hard drive before installing Dell Windows 7 / as I have heard it is not clean everything properly. So how to clean the hard drive?

    Or can I restore my office before you install Windows 7 in the first place when it's new?

    Kind regards

    Bert Pooler

    Yes, you can restore the State as it was when new...

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.
