I think I downloaded malware accidentally on Skype!
A friend of mine sent me a link on Skype so I clicked it. He has sent me to my internet browser and showed a download bar that says "this file may contain malicious software", but I ignored, thinking he just say that because it comes from an unknown source (Skype). It downloaded and then my computer security said this time that it was malicious. I stopped there and returned to Skype to tell my friend that it was malicious. Once I pressed on enter, a yellow dialog box appears at the top of my screen of Skype, but I didn't have the time to read, because Skype will suddenly stop then. I just thought it was a reflex for the link but when I tried to put Skype on, it wouldn't show but I still get notifications when my friends came online, or when there was a message in a chat room. I tried to open it several times, but it still does not work. Help?
I think that I got hacked... everyone I know not. I right click the Skype icon then you click sign out and then signed in again once. I was super scared and freaked out then discovered that "I have" somehow had sent this link three times to everyone in my contacts. But I was still not able to get on Skype! I know go into a panic room and scream my fear.

How can I restore my downloads after accidentally hitting the button clear the list?
I was going to transfer my downloads on my Media Player, but accidentally, press the button clear the list. Is there any way I can cancel my mistake? I paid for these downloads. They were time sensitive, so I can't go back to the original path.
They must stay in the folder downloads of origin unless you changed it in Start, the home page, tabs and download parameters.
In Windows, click the start icon, then computer. Look on the left for the 'Downloads' folder You can find ESL it typing downloads in the box "search programs and files" on the start menu.

I think that there are pedophiles on Skype
I was attached to a discussion group with all these other contacts who are not my contacts. They live in different countries but I'm interested, I'm 19 years old and thought, they would all be my age, then I discovered that some of them are aged 11 and there are people my age and more who have sent these children gifts etc. in Exchange for pictures, cam chat ect. It was what these people told me and I really think that someone who knows what to do, to take a look at my account, or the discussion group or something to see what's going on and stop it

Skype website won't let me download the version of Skype Mac
I select the Mac version of the software and takes me to the page:
http://www.Skype.com/intl/en-us/get-Skype/on-your-computer/MacOSX/
I'm prompted to connect / / sign up (even if I'm already connected), and when I sign it automatically downloads the Windows version of the product. I find no route to download the mac version of the product, that does not cause SkypeSetup.exe being downloaded.
I tried Safari and Chrome as a browser. I'm running OS X version 10.7.2, on a MacBook Air.
It seems that the problem was with a firewall which concealed the identy of the computer. Virus barrier Intego - X 6, option of masking of information surfing. This off, turning enabled Safari send strings of identifier of browser allowing to Skypes site correctly identify my computer.
I am posting this in hopes that it helps someone else.

How can I NOT download malware URASY. EXE
URASY can be spelled and yes I spend a lot of pornographic web sites.
What is the folder where the malicious software, that is, TEMP, a Firefox cache folder folder, etc. ?
If the file appears in your file downloads and you have Firefox set to automatically save downloads, you can turn that off and have Firefox displays the open/save/Cancel dialog box instead. Then, if this is due to a Web site by pushing a download for you, you can cancel before it gets actually registered. The setting is here: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.
If the download is done around this dialog box, it could be coming via the Flash Player or another plugin.

I have been scammed by Mindbrix last week, and this community let me know... Thank you! Is it possible that they could have installed some sort of malicious software on my Macbook Pro X or am I protected? My computer works normally at this stage.
Is it possible that they could have installed some sort of malicious software on my Macbook Pro X or am I protected?
If you don't give them access to your computer or download something on their request, you should be fine. If you allow them access or downloaded something, you must erase and reformat your hard drive, then restore your computer from a backup taken before when you allowed them access. Change your passwords and other critical information also. Not sure what software have been installed. If necessary, contact your bank to make opposition and cancel your credit card.

I think I deleted malware, but my computer does not start under programs.
I got the malware virus that appeared as 'Vista Guardian 2010' on my computer. I have run two scans I found on the Microsoft Web site, and it seems to have stopped activity malware. Before you run the scans, I was not able to launch Firefox or Malwarebytes. Now I can run these programs. The thing is, I have to 'Run as administrator' to make them open. If I simply click the icon to launch the program, it will prompt me to choose a program to open the .exe file.
I am running the scan of Malwarebytes, as recommended for people with this particular problem. But I could not install the updates for Malwarebytes, because updates automatically open and could not be "run as Administrator" to work. The only way to get a program to work is to "run as Administrator" and I couldn't do it for updates. I was still able to run the program, but is probably not up-to-date? I do not know...
in any case, it's scanning now.
But how can I fix? How can I get my computer back up to the point where she normally works and recognizes these .exe files?
Please, be specific with answers... I'm not very good computer so I need clear instructions.

I need a Flash banner ad at the level of the target output 9. I tried to use the common workaround ( andykenward/old-flash-in-flash-cc · GitHub ) for target 9 possible output from 2014 of the CC, but it doesn't seem to work with the "clickTAG" actionscript code provided by Yahoo https://au.adspecs.yahoo.com/pages/flash-guidelines/
I get an error message 1119.
Perhaps someone might have a solution for the code, but I am at the end of my rope (with a customer off pissed) and need a solution in a hurry.
So, is it possible to download an older version of Flash of CC?
