I bought Photoshop elements & elements of Prime Minister to Best Buy 2 years. Finally opened and I tried to get the serial number online by using the identity card, but said website code is not valid. Called Best Buy, they said that adobe should have canceled activation because it has not been installed in a timely. How can I get a serial number for installation?

Work your way through this document in the end, step by step, and finally try to start a chat session. I hope that Adobe will straighten this out for you.

Maybe clicked on something that I should not have... Advice please!
A window appeared on my browser (latest version of chrome on a MacBook of 2015 using the latest OS) which resembles an investigation legitimate from my ISP. Recently I had problems with them and my alarm has not extinguished quickly enough. It is curious that this window has appeared without an email but it didn't fully if register because my ISP has pop-up warnings apparently. I have NEVER had a pop up - but - due to some questions by e-mail, my firewall is down and I forgot to put up again.
Yes, as the fog cleared I had already clicked through the investigation and he offered a free gift and that's when I realized that I should immediately stop the window. I haven't entered ANY info, never filled out a form, or I don't have to download anything. I installed Malwarebytes for Mac and he came clean.
My concern: could I have gotten something malicious as a key logger or some other identity stealing malware simply by clicking on the poll? I think they call it a drive by?
I'm a meticulous time machine user, so I have a complete backup of 99% of my system hard disk external. I should burn the Earth just to be sure?
... I haven't entered ANY info, never filled out a form, or I don't have to download anything.
Then you have no reason to worry.
Could I have gotten something malicious, as a key logger or some other identity stealing malware simply by clicking on the poll?
Keylogger No.. At for example requires authentication to install.
The survey was a ruse to try to get you to reveal personal information. There are several varieties of this scam. They are remarkably successful, but you didn't fall for it. No further action is necessary or justified.

regular expression for something that does not have a fixed sequence
Hello
Just having a little trouble with a regular expression. I have an input string and I want to find something that is not this string, so
Input = Hello
Match = Hello
Football game? = False
Entry = Hello1
Match = Hello
Football game? = False
Input = Hello
Match = goodbye
Football game? = True
As I thought that I understood it, to enter as a regular expression in the regular Expression.vi of Match would be ~ (Hello).
If I understand as well, I can't do this by using the match pattern.
Maybe you good people can correct me. Thank you!

Help! I downloaded something that I should not have
I need help. All I wanted to do was to create a "siggy". I looked for Adobe Photoshop that worked with Windows XP. I downloaded CS6 13.0.1.1 because he says it worked with Windows XP. Now, I have a problem and don't know what to do... I downloaded this two days ago and it still does not. It's on my computer but it is still downloading... I tried to remove it to add or delete and delete after a search, but it will not go away. Can someone help me? I just need a trial download that works with Windows XP to create a siggy and then done with it. I don't want to pay $699 for a siggy. First of all, I need to remove this from my computer...
You can find old downloads of the trial on the site below.
Don't forget to follow the steps described in the Note: very important article Instructions on the pages to download on this site.

Please answer quickly...
Please see my response to your other post in the networking forum. CSRSS.exe if located in the Windows/System 32 program is a Windows core system file. If it is elsewhere (not to mention the Prefetch - see below for that) it's a Trojan horse. By my suggestions to you in the other forum, you should always make sure that your computer is free from virus/malware when troubleshooting so that you know that you are working from a clean base.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
The file you mention in your question is a Prefetch file. Here is an explanation of what is Prefetch:
The files in the Prefetch folder are files of data associated with the speed improvement to the what applications start. Windows XP monitors files that are used when the computer starts and when you start applications. By monitoring these files, Windows XP can preload the. Data preloading is the process by which the data that should be requested are read-ahead in the cache. Preloading of applications and startup files decreases the time required to start Windows XP and launch applications. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

A lot of space has disappeared, but according to the settings that I should have a lot more.
Hello
I was curious to know how much space I had on my new iPhone 5 c. I got it 2 weeks ago and I don't have a lot of apps from your. According to what he says about the settings I used 10.7 GB and I have 1.6 GB left which is hard to believe. So, I did the calculations myself and I really only used about 6.1 GB. I don't know how to solve this problem, and it would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me.
Thank you.

Control Panel shows that 4 GB of RAM, but product specs say I should have 8GB
My HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f desktop computer is supposed to get 8 GB of the RAM factory installed, but the control panel shows only 4 GB. When I run the diagnostic with the Support Assistant software it says that everything is working well, but also shows that 4 GB of RAM. I've had the computer for several months and the warranty just expired. In the past, I noticed it says 4 GB and thought that I should have bought a computer with only 4 GB, but it has always seemed strange to me. I looked towards the top of the record online and it says the HPE-250f has of 8 GB, and it also says 8 GB on the box in which it came. I didn't do any changes to the computer and never open the Cabinet. I hesitate to open the cupboard, but do not feel I should have to pay a lot of money to understand this.
HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
It took me a few tries - and months of frustration - but I solved the problem by carefully removing the memory cards, clean gently slots and cards and firmly the resettlement of the cards. It's been several months now, but the memory has been resolved. I had serious problems, as it is stated in this thread, with a catastrophic failure of the graphics card and HARD disk failure. I read on several posts that this particular graphics card was problematic, so I've upgraded to a Radeon HD 7700 series. I got the Core edition, which has 2 GB of memory defect to 1 GB. No problem since.
In case of hard drive failure, it was a disaster! I replaced the HARD drive of 1 TB with a 512 GB SSD, but it kept the infection by a rootkit that I couldn't clean up. I tried cleaners virus and rootkit of several software companies with no joy. Not even the first products like Kaspersky, McAfee, Sophos, BitDefender and other companies. I reformatted the drive several times, but the hook came back in return. Finally, I brought the computer to a friend who is a computer SCIENCE professional. The rootkit probably lies in the commercial cloning software (Acronis True Image HD) that came with the SSD, it said. We loaded the operating system without using Acronis and have not had any problems since! I've also installed a WD Blue 1 TB HDD and rebuilt directories so that all libraries (Documents, photos, videos, etc.) are on the disk hard while the system is installed on the solid state drive. The upgrades were worth every penny! Now, my desktop HP 5 years computer works very well and the performance is very good even by today's standards. Boot times are much faster, too.

Foreign travel, that all should be disabled?
I know that I should have it in airplane mode, is there something else that needs a checkbox to avoid all IP service fees? Thank you...
Airplane mode should be good... But, you can also check that Mobile Data, roaming, etc. are all off, so... "Just in case".
Good trip!

Average of horrible judgment, I downloaded something that turned out to be just another way for MacKeeper Run Amok. I turn on my firewall before you download anything either, and I'm glad that I did because weird things happened. Chrome unexpectedly quit without even reporting it closes unexpectedly. I also got a message asking to allow connections from the application "historiograph. After made what I thought was a good uninstall of MacKeeper, I found this 'com.historiograph.plist' in hand > library > LaunchDaemons with the same created as MacKeeper. In addition, there were two other .plists created at the exact same time com.lymphangiotomyUpd.plist and com.apple.sideb.plist
Is one of this natural look or will I be paranoid?
Hello That_One_Guy,
Historiograph is not a known demon so I can't tell you if it is harmful. It is not part of any Apple software, so removing it will not cause problems with any Apple software. It is possible, that it is bundled with other software on your Mac that you would like to keep and could cause problems with this. It is also possible that the software that created it will recreate when you remove it. To remove it, I would recommend starting in safe mode (combinations of keys start for Mac - Apple Support) and then removing to make sure that the demon is not running when removed.
If it does not or you have any other questions, feel free to ask me questions.
Thank you ~ Bryce

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.

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 have a user account, but the type is standard user... I can't create an administrator user... because when I press on it see something that says that WINDOWS needs YOUR permission TO CONTINUE to create... Fix this please...
To create an administrator account, you must be...
(1.) an administrator
(2.) to connect to the existing administrator account, or in possession of an administrator password.
If you do not have all of the above, forget it.When the system asked you for permission, you should click on continue or enter the Admin password. If you could not do either, it means that you don't have administrative rights to do what you want.

Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?
What version of OS/Safari do you use?
Try a reboot.
Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolate a problem by using a different user account
If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account. Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.
