• c07ft5y, CDDB, ODBC and Mimar Sinan in the register - I was told by a company of 'technical support' that they need to eliminate these because it's malware and viruses

  I called a line of technical support that was supposed to be for prolbems Avast free antivirus software. The tech support person, located in India with a company called Bamgar, has convinced me to give remote access to my computer. Currently, she proceeded to look in my registry and make comments about how my computer had a lot of 'serious problems' and hackers could access sensitive files, I have or look in my online banking because of the above located things on my record that she claimed were malicious software and viruses. I became suspicious when she then proceeds to discuss how his own company, 'Good Karma' would withdraw from all of this for me and to solve all these problems. They would need "only" $ 130 for this. I told him I did not have that kind of money and I want to talk to him later on this subject, because now I was very nervous, she has access to my computer. I clicked the button to put an end to its remote access, but of course I don't know if she still has access to my computer now, as I don't know how to tell for sure.

  I downloaded the free firewall Zone Alarm immediately after the end of that phone call and put it up to block access. I'm also looking for my machine with Spybot Search and Destroy. I know not what else to do to stop this company access to my computer, and I don't know if it was legitimate, and the files she mentioned are really malware. Please tell me if you know what are actually the these points in my registry. Thank you very much.

  Yes, in some cases, it could if the malicious code voluntarily removes some files of the operating system and enabling technologies. Its usually rare but not impossible.

• How can I detect a virus in my Mac?

  Hello everyone

  I think my Mac has a virus. Let me give you some details.

  Recently, I downloaded FileVault for my Mac (from the official Apple App store). Some users said that their Mac has slowed down, while others had no problem with him. I downloaded FileVault, and it actually sped up my computer, so this doesn't seem to be the problem, or at least, I don't think it is.

  Here's where the problem began:

  I plan to spend in Warwick, NY. So I went online to visit the official site of the city. There is a Facebook link that I clicked on. No problem. As I read the script, I noticed it below (do NOT click)

  Martin Filipowski McAfee antivirus warns that this page is a risk for malicious activity, see the report below:

  http://www.McAfee.com/threat.../site/default.aspx...

  Above this post, there was an article on New York State. I clicked on it and had no problem. It's the kind of an online magazine on what to do in Upstate NY. But when I saw the post above, that the link on the northern part of the State could be malicious, I panicked. I clicked on the link to learn more and discovered that there was a dead link. It is then that all my problems began. Here is what happened in detail:

  I started noticing that when I turn on my Mac (and now even my IPad) it takes a LONG TIME for the Internet (Pie) to appear. I have a secure network, (Optimum) and sometimes it doesn't. I am forced to use the Wi - Fi which is not secure. So, when in fact, I try to use the Internet, it may take up to 3-5 minutes for the page to come. After awhile, it starts to work, but he still drags, as if something is it holds. It's weird. Ditto my IPad. It was working fine. Now he begins to act like my Mac. It takes at least 5 minutes (if not more) to the Internet lights.

  How can I check to see if this link put something on my computer? Is it possible for me to see if my Mac has a virus? Help!

  My guess is that if the MBA and the iPad have the same problem, you may have a router problem.  I suggest that you change it.

  If no success wait to come and advise you, an expert of router.  This is an area that I am not well versed in.

  Ciao.

• Do I need a malware or virus protection?

  Hello, I've owned an iPad for some time and I need to know if I should install an app for virus/malware protection and perhaps get recommendations on what would be good if the situation requires it. I accidentally installed some sort of weird app - it was not appear when I searched in the App Store itself, but I clicked on a Google link that lead to the App Store and brought it up on my iPad. There was no trace of the app in my list of downloads on the App Store once installation is complete, however, so I felt suspicious and deleted without ever running. Should I be worried?

  Thank you in advance for all you can give me advice. I am very new to Apple products.

  There is a big difference between viruses and malware.

  You need not to no virus protection, as there are no on iOS. For protection against malware you just need common sense.

  This link should provide sufficient guidance:

  When I visit some sites I sometimes get a message, apparently from Apple, saying that a virus or malware is trying to steal images and passwords etc. The message is often also oral. Is this really from Apple. That I disconnect everything quickly. But my laptop has been infected? I don't detect anything strange.

  1. No, it's not Apple.

  2. No, your system has not been infected.
