Let me clarify for you. I just got the same message, verbatim - including insurance "your system IS affected.

Except that I'm on a Mac Mini, now. So, Yes, it is a hoax. Do not follow this link.
I would also say that, with the Notification 'online' (it is the name of the user account) window with the message, click the more button, it has a top gear, and choose the option 'blocking' A window pops up that reads "Are you sure you want to block the Notification online (online.notification.america7). They will be stuck in your contacts list, and they will not be able to contact you." Click on the button that says "Block". Finally, you will get the same message from online.notification.america8. Spammers are not large?

    Given that this was written in 2011, I'm sure you understood something at this stage. However, the post also has much a views, so I think it might be a persistent problem, so I'll post my solution:

    When I copied the file SRIM - 20xx.e in a folder of SRIM-20xx under Program Files, I had a "Disk full" error when trying to extract the files, even though I had a lot of space on my hard drive and without limits. After a bit of messing around, I like the solution is to move the SRIM-20xx folder on the desktop, and then unpack it. After extraction, which leaves you with a lot of seemingly useless files, double-click CONFIGURATION and the installation will begin appropriate. Installation will create a file under Program Files, there will be no need to make things happen later, simply remove the meantime extract the folder to your desktop computer.

  • I receive several copy emails from various sources

    Recently, I started to receive multiple copies of email from some (but not all), from various sources.  Anyone know how to stop this please?

    Norton and Windows Mail do not agree.  The best is to uninstall Norton (use both their removal tool) and get something less invasive, such as www.microsoft.com/security_essentials , who does not have these problems.  Then withdraw your mail account close and re-open WinMail, and then add it again.  Which will fix all the problems that created the antivirus software.

  • How can I use notifications to send data from different sources for the same chart?

    Hello

    I use the model of 'Continuous measurement and logging' project comes with LV 2013.

    It is extremenly helpful in understanding the messaging between the acquisition, graphic and loops of newspaper. (Thank you NEITHER!)

    I ran into a snag though.

    I want to change so that my graphic loop receives notifications of data from two sources of acquisition by the declarant.

    I have trouble getting the data from the two sources to display on one graph.

    I've isolated the problem in the attached vi.

    Here's what happens:

    1. I create 2 parallel loops data and send the data to a third parallel loop with the notifiers.

    2. the third loop receives data from one of the loops because one of the authors of just receiving notifications is to expire instead of receive data.

    Can anyone suggest how can I fix?

    Thank you.

    -Matt

    Here's my modification of your VI. I put notes on the block diagram to explain the changes. He uses a queue for data transfer to avoid data loss. It uses a notifier to stop loops. All local variables and value property nodes have been eliminated.

    The way loops are arrested probably let some data in the queue. No more of one or two iterations of each of the loops of data acquisition. If you need ensure that all data has been displayed (or recorded in a real application), then you must stop acquiring loop first and read the queue until you know it's empty and both other loops stopped. Then stop the render loop and release the queue and the notifier.

  • IPhone will not connect to iTunes - "invalid response received from the device."

    After years of work very well, I went to put some new music on my phone and all of a sudden got this message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone 'IPhone of David Platts' because an invalid response was received from the device."?

    I've tried different USB ports, different cables (some Apple official, some after market) and several reboots, but nothing works.

    I'm 10.7.5 OSX and IOS 10 phone you.

    Thanks for the help.

    You have a problem.

    It is good that you have told us you're OS x 10.7.5 (current is MacOS 10.12), because it is your problem.

    iOS 10 requires iTunes 12.5.1 or later to communicate.  iTunes 12.5.1 requres OS X 10.9.5 or later version.

    It's (time to upgrade the operating system of your Mac spent).

  • iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone", because an invalid response was received from the device.

    So I am a new iphone 7. I had a 6 before that. Everything was fine until the day where I got the 7, I decided to try a manual on itunes for my 6 backup so that I could put this on the new phone. I use now icloud backup but before that he always did on my computer. Its itunes version 12.2.2.25 as it is the most recent, that I can run with 10.7.5 which is the newest my mac pro can work without hacking it. Again, never had a problem before it save and use it to transfer music. Anyway, I received the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone"iPhone"because an invalid response was received from the device." I tried 3 different usb cords. I tried both ports to the front of the computer and all 3 in the back. Abandoned and did a backup icloud. Installed on the new phone. Everything transferred except my music library which is real download of my CD via itunes. If something was wrong on the iphone 6, surely the new phone that starts with a clean slate will be very well... wrong.  Same message. Leaves through ports, cables, etc. Is it just a simple matter of ios 10 now works with my version of itunes?

    A new phone will be iOS10.  iOS10 requires iTunes 12.5.1 find which demands in turn 10.9.5 OSX or newer.  Software update checks only the updates to the current version of the system that you are running but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. OSX 10.9 and 10.10 are no longer available. You can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM (4 GB is a minimum realistic and many recommend 8 GB).  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

  • I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

    I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

    Hello

    There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

    It depends on the old hard drive still works.
