I think I might have a virus on my Macbook

Hello

I have a question in order to get a virus on my Macbook.

Today I went to a Web site where I clicked on a link and a pop-up window appeared. After a few seconds, a message has occurred which said something like: "you have a virus on your Macbook. You must analyze your Macbook for virus. ». I don't remember if he said exactly that, because I panicked, but it was something like that.

Could there be a virus on my Macbook? And if so, what should do about it?

Silke Posthumus

1. No, unless you use Windows on it.

2. According to the #1, ignore it or run a tool of anti-malware for Windows.

Hello

What virus you have, and what security is disconnected? Could be a total hoax, a thug
a program that tries to make you pay to remove something that's really at the origin.

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

Rob Brown - MS MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Bike - Mark Twain said it right.

My iPhone 6 loads very slowly and sometimes it takes like two trials for the symbol with the lightning to appear. I think he might have a problem on the port of loading

My iPhone 6 load very slowly. And sometimes other cables works instantly on my iPhone unlike my sister who has the same phone as me. My sister does not have this problem with our cable. Also the battery becomes low too quickly.

In the last months, I use as a class a lightning because here in the Philippines, original iPhone cable cables look like $25. My sister also uses the same cable as me but she has no problems

How to fix this please? Can I go to any apple centre and check my phone to see what happened?

I might have a virus, but when I scan, there is nothing.

I have Trend Micro Internet Security Pro, and sometimes, when I'm on my computer, a notification appears saying blocked suspicious program. The editor is unknown, its activity was the modification of system files, and the risk was high. I did a scan with three different programs and they also found nothing. What should I do?

How to get rid of malware

I use Photoshop CC2015. I think I might have a corrupted installation or I'm just crazy.

I'm creating a logo that will have a rotating part. I did shoot 25 - 30 times I learn. Last night I him have had "perfect". I went to go and that he was going to take too long, so I cancelled it. I had to control alt delete and stop the process. When I opened Photoshop and open the drawing and went to make the video, the layer that was spinning object had disappeared of the video area. I tried for about 15 minutes to get that back. When that failed I went back into a previous backup and went through all the steps again. Yet, no layer to my symbol of peace.
So, since I had already done it so many times I just started completely from scratch and made a new document. I got to the point where I slim me down extrusions and now for the first time each all objects were not aligned properly. They have been compensated differently front to rear. I messed with that got it all lined up and no still no layer for my video.
Make a new document. Has gone through the same exact steps. Now, I can not bevel my text, symbol of peace or whatever it is. Thinning of the extrusion to new evil aligns everything.
I can usually solve all problems, as long as logically thing. However, to do the same thing again and again and get different results are diving crazy me.
I am running Windows 7 and Photoshop CC 2015

I can suggest that reset you the preferences of CC 2015:

Hold down the CTRL - Shift - Alt from the cold Photoshop start. If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.

Second, you can install an earlier version, CC 2014 as a spare. Don't want to rely on a copy of Photoshop, have a backup.

This should explain how to find and install.

I have a virus on my Macbook help!

I am almost certain that my Macbook Pro has a virus! Whenever I am on a site (a site Web, anyone) my mouse icon will blink then the site will open in a different tab and the original tab turns into an ad! It has been going for probably two weeks now and just randomly came. I googled so much to solve this problem, but am also worried if I download a virus scan that could also be a virus! Can any body please help!

Click here and follow the instructions, or if it is not a type of adware is covered by them on the computer, these. If you would rather not remove it manually, you can run rather MalwareBytes for Mac.

MalwareBytes is a removal tool and does not stop adware or other malware from entering the computer. For effective protection, do not download software from sources other than the Mac App Store or Developer Web sites.

TB don't DL msgs - DL Will one msg, a same, think I have a virus?

Messages see 'X', but only try to DL, receiving a message - even one - over and over. Do not open it. He said it as "Ivan". The line Re said "Baby". Don't know anyone by that name. Think there might be a virus or something or system is infected if not.

I have searched the forum and help files, started cold, tried to remove all the add ons have disabled antivirus and firewall. Don't know what else to try. I'm not a power user. I understand things, so I'm not a beginner, so I can follow the instructions to fix the registry, etc., but need specific assistance.
