How will I know if an email from 'Apple' on malware is legitimate?

I received an e-mail might alert, apple, on malware that requires immediate attention.  I need to know how to determine if it is legitimate. In my safari, I went on the link they posted in the warning and got this announcement of: http://icloud-webserver-3.online/index-2.html

Your computer is infected with adware or malware, which allows you to see this popup.

This can happen because of the obsolete virus protections.

To fix, please call Apple Support to 1-800-982-1346 immediately. Please ensure that you do not restart your computer to avoid any data loss.

Possibility of data & identity theft, if not fixed immediately.

In fact, I called the number, don't do not still think that it was a 'bad' site...? How can I check the legitimacy of this warning?

It's easy. It is NOT legitimate. It's a scam, and it came not from Apple.

  • How will I know my help email address?

    We are setting up a family sharing but my date of birth cannot be changed because there is no guessing that my security questions writing this is to say that an email was sent to my address "rescue". What is an alternate email address and how do I know what it is? I have an iPad Air generation 5 and I am a couple of updates behind.

    Emergency email address is an email address (used to reset security issues; and password reset emails will also contribute to this account) that you put on the account, probably at its inception (must be a single email account address, so it will not be the same as the main e-mail address) : on your Apple ID - Apple Support email addresses

    If you don't remember what set (you checked folders Inbox, and spam on all of your e-mail accounts?), you will need to contact the Support of your country for the reset of questions: Contact Apple for the Apple ID account security support

    If your country is not on this page, then try this form to contact Support: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

    When they have been reset you can then view (and possibly change) the email address of relief for possible future use (see the first link above)

    Or if it is available in your country, you can substitute 2-step verification: frequently asked questions about two-step for Apple ID verification

  • How will I know? Server 2008 standard 32/64 bit is legitimate

    I bought Server 2008 standard 5 CAL 32/64 bit some time ago, but I just installed it.

    I broke the seal (cellophain) plastic and seal of security and the open the plastic box where he had two DVDs and "getting Started" guide. The activation code (tag) was in place.

    But after installing and trying to activate the product via the Internet, he said that the code was already in use. I unplugged the network cable for the "other" ways to activate and tried the phone and he said: "the product was not valid" after reading all numbers to the phone machine.

  • How will I know when I bought an apple product

    Where should I look to see my history of purchase Apple product?

    Did you look at the link at the top of this page? Apple recommends that you keep your original purchase receipts for future reference. I think, however, that if you go to an Apple store and they did a quick glance toward the top of your serial number that they could provide you with history & documentation.

Then after a few seconds, the box has disappeared and nothing else happened. How will I know if this problem has actually been resolved?

    Hello

    If you have installed a trial or paid a licensed version of Corel software products, you probably may notice a third unannounced software application makes its way into your computer too. The program is PSIService.exe by Protexis, which installs a Protexis V2 of Licensing Windows operating system service or Protexis licensing service.

    PSIService belongs to protect DRM (digital rights management) copy protection and license management software, which is intended to protect an application or software against piracy and illegal copying. Thus PSI service is normally installed by another program, such as Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X 2, Corel Paint Shop Pro XI (X 1), Corel Paint Shop Pro X, that uses its service to collect information of license to repatriate much like spyware, protect copy and authenticate the user who is using an authentic version of the program.

    When you tried to download and install the program, if the box that says closed the dialog box when the download is complete has been verified, it will close the dialog box.

    I suggest that you restart the computer and check if you get an error message.

  • Conflicting messages from the performance tab.  How will I know if my GPU is effective?

    The performance in LR tab says I have a GPU and identifies it (GeForce GTX 970).  However, when I ask Sys Info it says there is no available GPU.   I have no error messages.  How will I know if LR uses the GPU?  This who should I try if it's not?

    System information:

    LR autonomous 6.0.1

    Win 7

    The system SSD drive

    Work SSD disk (I do not store the files on the system disk)

    Intel CPU 3.5 G

    RAM OF 32G

    Video NVIDIA GTX 970, I just bought the card and the drivers are up to date.

    Thanks in advance

    If your screen is 1920 x 1080, it is unlikely that you will see an advantage to have the GPU acceleration.

    But if you really want to test the GPU, turn on the GPU acceleration and try large amounts of brushing up on a photo. Before turning off the GPU, restart Lightroom, make a similar amount of brushing up on a different photo (not the same photo) and if its faster with GPU acceleration off the coast, then your GPU works correctly. If there is no difference, then its probably not.

    Acceleration in Lightroom GPU is designed mainly for the more major (4K, 5K) monitors.
