I got a notice that I had a virus and MacKeeper could protect my computer. Is MacKeeper a valid Apple product

I got a notice that I had a virus and MacKeeper could protect my computer. MacKeeper is a valid Apple should I install and have my computer scanned?

This notice is a scam lie.

MacKeeper is one of the worst pieces of software you can install on a Mac. Will provide you no protection whatsoever. The only thing it will do is cause problem.

Remove the notice and forget about MacKeeper.

  • I used a master password for years. Today, I noticed that it had been authorized. What could cause this?

    I used a master password for years. I also use Sync. Today, I wanted to watch one of my saved passwords. When I went to do this, I noticed that Firefox was no longer is configured to use a master password. I'm afraid I can have been hacked, or that something is is past (recent update Firefox?) which caused the use of the master password will be disabled.

    I have not yet checked my other computers synced to see if their master password has been disabled.

    I have re-enabled the functionality of password on this computer.

    On this particular computer, I had a long-standing issue date where Firefox ' help > about Firefox "still says I need to"restart to update. This means that I can't use "help > about Firefox ' to check and install the latest version. I need to download Firefox manually and update by running the installation program.

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

    You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (this will clear the update history).

  • Surfing the internet on my iphone, I got a pop-up message warning me that I had a virus that could be stolen my information of credit card through my webcam and call 1-844-854-6870.  I didn't call the number?

    Surfing the internet on my iphone, I received a pop-up message stating that I had a virus that could fly as well as personal information and credit card information used on the phone.  That I should call 1-844-854-6870 immediately to get the virus removed.  I didn't call the number, but rather made sure my privacy filters were ignited, powered my phone is off and connected my office here.  What should I do to make sure that I do not have a virus on my iphone?

    It's just a scam.

    Force restart our iPhone.

    Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    As long as you call the number or allow anyone access to your iPhone, so there is no worry for a virus.

    These alarms are generally scam popups loaded from the Internet and is not caused by malicious software, but you should always look for other odd behavior or unexplained slowness.

    Thank you for posting the exact text of the message you get, verbatim. It is not
    legitimate and you shouldn't send them anything. We'll know more as soon as
    You see the message, but always certainly you are infected by a rogue
    antivirus protection. The message telling you that you have a virus is itself
    malware.

    I think that there is a prob with this game, it does not matter if you use firefox or IE. Or another browser. It blocks something. Or causes probs.

    FB needs to fix it. There are a lot of people (in a Google search), who are having probs. One way or the other

  • "Don't use this CD to reinstall the operating system on Dell count" that I had in 2004 and have more... what I want to know I can install it on a different computer now and it would be legal?

    Original title: Original Windows XP cd.

    I have an original cd of Windows XP Home Edition with the product key for it and want to use it... but when I look at the disk, according to me, he said: "Don't use this CD to reinstall the operating system on Dell count" that I had in 2004 and have more... what I want to know I can install it on a different computer now and it would be legal?

    Because Dell SLP, the restriction of similar model is not important. All that matters is the EULA and the fact that the two computers are Dells.

  • I received a phone call from someone claiming that I had a virus

    I received a phone call from the India, claiming I had a virus, and it seems that I do... I followed the steps, they gave me, but I was unable to give them remote access to my computer (IE; take control). I found out because it is a scam.

    As they were unable to access remotely are they still able to access my personal information?

    And will install an antivirus on my computer to get rid of the virus known as I have now?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Looks like a scam. Please do not hear these calls. If they failed to take control of your computer, then there is no need to worry.

    I suggest that you download, install and run Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps to flush out the virus.

    I would also say that you used your main security software of Microsoft Security Essentials .

  • How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

    Original title: window 7

    Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    Once the software is installed, it will not be removed under normal circumstances.

    I do not know if your computer is still infected and it is removed or the problem is that you can't 'see' photoshop' but it is always installed.

    to verify this, check the installation directory and check its size on your hard drive.

    Hi Keith,

    You won't be able to re - install using the discs and the number of series that you used initially, but we have a solution.

    The activation for more server CS2 is no longer in service. For this reason, we did a version of these titles of software available that doesn't require activation. This is for users who already buy the software.  For more details and specific links for the software, please see the following link:

    Activation server stops for Creative Suite 2 and Acrobat 7 product Macromedia

    Instead of your old serial number, use the one shown next to the download link: download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
