Problem of ransomware
I have a 2108p p6 desktop computer has been infected with one of the strains of ransomware that encrypted all of my documents and photos. And of course for $500 I could recover them. Needless to say that I did not pay the ransom. Everyone tried to clean the PC, but it keeps reappearing more likely the Internet when I go on the line again. My question is, can I replace the hard drive, reload a clean version of the system recovery software or more deep infection in the firmware on the motherboard, network card, etc... ? Or I just scrap it?
I wiped the drive using DBAN and I'm waiting for the system software of HP to reload and test the system again. Once this happens, and if it succeeds, I will close this case. I appreciate the help of everyone.

I bought a HP pavilion a1650y with XP Media Center Edition 2005 and Works 8.0, and due to a problem of ransomware, he was "wiped out" by a cd of killdisk by a friend last wek. I've never done a restore for her cd, and now the OS entry disappeared.
Is there a way I can get the already purchased XP OS again?

anyone had problems with the Mac taken hostage by ransomeware?
Hey portogermano,
I have not had problems yet, but I've heard that sort of ransomware is distributed through a program called Transmission.
If you can, try to avoid this software!
If you are installing applications from one other source other than the Mac App Store, make sure you can check the original source and always go to the site of real editors, so that you know that you are getting the real thing, not a bad software.

All hacked with Ransomware on Safari?
On March 4, I got a blue screen telling me to call the representative of Microsoft listed immediately to unlock my Mac Mini I was on Safari but all locked except the blue screen. Then a record came through my speakers explaining that I have a serious problem and that he should not try to do anything about it until I called the number on the blue screen. I was unable to do anything on Safari, but was able to open another browser through Firefox. From there on, I was able to delete all backups time machine current and restored in early March 3. Everything seems to work ok now, but today I saw an article by Palo Alto Networks, there may be a dormant malware that can resurface three days AFTER infection. PAN also said that this attack tries to enter backups time machine to prevent which, in my view, that I did to restore control. I'm not an expert by any means, but I have critical information that I can't afford to lose. I heard that some have paid a ransom for similar problems. I thought I was safe with Apple and my small business documents. I doubt that this question was exclusive to me. Any information on this topic or how to prevent it from repeating would be greatly appreciated.
The recent ransomware was limited to a certain version of the show, a torrent app. The developer has since published a clean version of their application. It would have shut up together on your computer, not just Safari.
You have encountered a website, appearing usually if you're in a shady site that locks Safari. All you had to do was Force Quit Safari and not visiting sites subject to this kind of popup advertising in the future.

Wondering if I have some malware on iPad Mini problem
Dear Apple community support,
I have this on my screen now:
http://journal365.NET
You have (1) chat request!
Ok
The problem is that I don't seem to have a way out of this. Select OK seems to be the only option. Do not select this option. Do you think it could be malware? Also, how can I get out of it?
Thank you for your time.
dmwd
Double click on the Home button, and then drag upward on the preview of Safari.
Go to settings - Safari - clear history.
Restart Safari.
Do not meet these popup messages.

The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.
Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.
It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

Hello members of the community.
As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.
The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.
I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.
It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.
I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.
In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.
I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.
Any constructive contribution welcome!
See you soon.

with IOS 10.0.2 - 5s iphone Bluetooth problems
Since upgrading ISO 10.0.2 my M50 from PLT Plantronics (helmet unique headset) do not reliably connects with my iPhone 5 more. I have to go to the settings, activate bluetooth turned off/turned on, touch the device on the bluetooth page, etc. Once it connects successfully, it will reconnect (if I turn off the headset and turn it back on) for a short period. The next day he does not connect itself but I play with bluetooth on the iPhone again.
It has always worked perfectly before the 10th of IOS.
And, as I noticed others mentioning, the volume is much lower with IOS 10. The maximum volume is much lower. I can barely hear it now, more normal background noise, while driving.
I did:
Forget this device for the PLT M50 and paired again (several times)
I did a Reset Network Settings
I don't know what else to do - but it's a 10.0.2 IOS issue.

If you can isolate the time or location, you see the problems, you can isolate the cause.
