I think that my Mac Pro is infected by evil ware. How to ask for help?

Hello

I think that my Mac Pro (early 2008) is infected by evil ware. (I deliberately used the Word 2 spelling to try to make a distinction between the entity unknown I think I and - maybe - we can download free software).  I'm not familiar with the various players 'bad', so I'll just refer to it as "my entity."  I think it's a virus that is sophisticated, because, among other things, I think it changes the use/application of Malwarebytes.  A brief description of why I say this.

I had, before, downloaded and ran Malwarebytes.  I remember well, it's that Malwarebytes did not find any serious problem.  I also ran Sophos, and that he had found two threats, one of which dealt with Sophos.  Sorry, I don't remember their names.  But, as I'm sure you don't know that Sophos takes something like 8-12 hours to run, so I have not used even once, recently.  But, I have not called Malwarebytes on my file utilities.  When I clicked it, I got a window titled users. and that was Apple, comments and shared.  I decided to download Malwarebytes again (but without deleting the Malwarebytes I just described), thinking that the the Malwarebytes nine, well replace the bogus one.  Well, he didn't.  So I can't say that the download didn't happen, or happened, he was immediately converted to users.  So I have 'something' with the title "Malwarebytes Anti - Malware" which is actually the user.

Another indication: when I want to search, I use Safari or Chrome.  But after I enter the article I'm looking for, I see (something like) kuklorist research of...    If I ask spotlight where is kuklorist?, there is no answer.  So, no matter what kuklorist is, it can hide very well.

I noticed that the recovery Farbar scanning tool and Malwarebytes Chameleon are available for PC.  Is there something like them for Macs?

I suspect that the screenshots would help in my descriptions, but I don't know how to make them. I also suspect that I am not to follow the correct procedures in the start of the case.   Could you tell me how to do these?

  • I get a Firefox error message that says, "something tries to trick Firefox by accepting a security update. Please contact your network provider and ask for help. »

    I get a Firefox error message that says, "something tries to trick Firefox by accepting a security update. Please contact your network provider and ask for help. "Do you know what is happening here - what could be the problem? (I have the latest version of Firefox already installed. I previously got Firefox error messages indicating "Firefox update failed". However, I already have the latest version of Firefox installed when I got these error messages.)

    I think that we must hope that the problem will be resolved at the present time. If you see the error message again post in this thread. Also, it would be unusual get this message while trying not to update, but if you get if you try to copy and paste the details of console error that they can be useful.

    Use

    • keyboard Ctrl + Shif + J
    • or button-> Web Developer Firefox-> Console errors

    This kind of message is apparently the only normally expected when you try to update to Firefox. It seems strange that you get the message using a 'Œuvres' document, but others have reported this message seemingly random incidents.
    (So normally, you must clear the error console, and then try to update knowing the error messages have been the result of this attempt to update)

    If I had this problem my concern would be that some kind of malware may be involved, but the message can then indicate that all this malicious program is upset.

  • Ask for help upgrade (Mac Pro early 2009 2x2.6 GHz Quad-Core)

    I am a videographer who has need to bring my Mac Pro from the dead. Cheesy with video files, but not parts of. My reading so far led me to look at in what follows. I'm looking for a better understanding of each of the following items and upgrades are beneficial and worth that may be too kill for a round of aging.

    1. Memory. I currently have 4x2gb or total of 8 GB of ram. I know this is ridiculous, I have not increased by at least 16 GB so far. However, I have read that memory can only help so much and that some of the items here are actual speed thrusters. How much memory is recommended for this configuration? Should I buy? http://www.Amazon.com/16GB-DDR3-1066-PC3-8500-1066Mhz-Apple/DP/B0098MLFJG/
    2. Solid State Drives. I currently have 3 disks internal thatrange of 500 GB to 2 TB. If I used that as my boot drive, where is the best place to install (see photo below)? I read of people installing in a Bay SATA HDD or SATA optical drive unused. I read good things about it. http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-I...p/B00OBRE5UE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?IE=U TF8
    3. Video/graphics card. First of all, both mean the same thing? Are the belowonly of slots PCI Express 4 for this type of card? Also, can you have two installed? I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB series. What is the best way to upgrade? My research so far has led me to the GeForce GTX680. Looks like I'll have to buy it was good.

    4. Processor upgrade. I'm intimidated by it due to intensive installation and prices. What would be the next best bet - upgrade to 12-core? Where to buy?
    5. Firmware? I've seen videos and forums on (4.1 - I) (5.1) or (6.1). I don't really understand what that means. Should I be concerned?

    Thank you!

    -The fastest drive is a blade of base PCle SSD. Very very fast

    The SSD to 'Classic' Mac Pro training

    -The bus SATA on the Mac Pro is only SATA II (3 GB/s) and connected to the bus SAT SSD is therefore limited to speed SATA II, not the speed of current SATA III (6 Gbps) drives.

    -You can get cards PCle who accept the standard SATA SSD and who can get speeds of SATA III

    -You can install several graphics cards. I have my 2009 MP, I have the original GT120 in slot 2 and a 5770 PC card into slot 1 (slot width double only).

    A graphics for PC cards will not display anything while booting, as well as an installed PC card can be used for the Startup Option or special start-up as recovery mode.

    Recently, there were adds that won't let me click out of them, randomly tabs will open on the attachment of the virus all the time and overall, my computer is running slowly. I don't know what program to trust to "clean" my computer of this virus, so any help would be appreciated!

  • My computer won't let me not reinstall windows because he thinks that it is 32-bit and does not recognize the installation discs. Help please?

    My computer has not worked since I stopped him during an automatic update. Which I have been kicking myself since then, but the last time that he updated, he beat the computer and I panicked.

    Anyway, it won't run certain programs, including iTunes and a large part of MS Office, and no matter how many times I try to reinstall, they still do not work, saying: "side by side configuration is incorrect."

    What I want is to restore it to factory settings - all my data is secured and sustained upward. But when I put in my recovery disks (and they are the highest boot priority in the BIOS) the system takes care of the hard drive as usual. When I remove the ability to boot from the hard drive, my system no reserves at all, telling me to restart or insert a suitable disc. And when I boot from the disk and try to run it manually, by clicking ETFSBOOT, it tells me that "the version of this file is not this version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or an x 64 (64-bit) version of the program. »

    I have double and triple checked this - my system is 64-bit. My records are 64-bit. As far as I know, the computer got garbled during the automatic update and now part of it think it's 32-bit (some programs are divided into sections 32-bit and 64-bit). All I want to do is to reinstall windows, but I don't know what to do because it does not recognize my discs! Any suggestions, internet?

    Thank you very much.

    In addition, if it is relevant, I'm Windows Vista on an ASUS K50IJ laptop. I do not have the windows install disc because the computer was shipped with windows installed, but I have the recovery disc ASUS (which have been used to restore my computer in the past).

    Hello

    Since you are unable to open programs like iTunes or Office, you can try to perform the system restore and check if it helps.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

    System restore

    About the factory restore the question, you need to contact ASUS support for additional help on ASUS recovery disks.
