These alarms are generally scam popups loaded from the Internet and is not caused by malicious software, but you should always look for other odd behavior or unexplained slowness.

My MacBook 2015 12 "retina screen went black, all this experience?
My MacBook 2015 12 "retina screen went black, all this experience?
This occurs when you wake up from sleep while opening the screen? I have this problem when trying to open the screensaver macbook, aka black death simply showing the mouse pointer. Genius bar is 2 service attempts to solve this problem; subsequently replaced by macbook brand new. Guess what... it again just two or three weeks later! I think it's an inherent problem with this line of macbook 12 inches early 2015. I'm decided to resume to the genius bar and will ask them to replace it with the new model of 2016.

I got a notice that I had a virus and MacKeeper could protect my computer. MacKeeper is a valid Apple should I install and have my computer scanned?
This notice is a scam lie.
MacKeeper is one of the worst pieces of software you can install on a Mac. Will provide you no protection whatsoever. The only thing it will do is cause problem.
Remove the notice and forget about MacKeeper.

"Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot open 'amy application' because it's a non supported file type or because the file is damaged."
I received this message during indexing on my computer. I could not get the message, so I
uninstalled Adobe.
After you have uninstalled Abobe, I was able to get all my jobs and applications (with the exception of adobe files).
Then I tried to re - install Adobe, but who has turned to a complicated procedure.
There are so many choices, and there are a number of downloadable updates. What was I guess what to do? But I have chosen one of the Adobes and tried to install it.
After that I don't know what happened. All my desktop icons are now Adobe icons in place. that is The Firefox icon is now replaced by an icon of Adobe. It is the same for several other desktop program icons. (QuickTime, chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.)
When I try to open the program by clicking on it, I get the above message.
I went to the site of help from Adobe and read a complex string of instructions, including
words like '% pdf', "DWROD" and, for me, other nonsensical words and phrases.
Needless to say that the instructions were no help.
I said all that to say this. I want that my computer back. What should I do to do?
Sincerely,
Ralph Thompson

Surfing the internet on my iphone, I received a pop-up message stating that I had a virus that could fly as well as personal information and credit card information used on the phone. That I should call 1-844-854-6870 immediately to get the virus removed. I didn't call the number, but rather made sure my privacy filters were ignited, powered my phone is off and connected my office here. What should I do to make sure that I do not have a virus on my iphone?
It's just a scam.
Force restart our iPhone.
Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
As long as you call the number or allow anyone access to your iPhone, so there is no worry for a virus.

I received a notice that my auto renew failed because the credit card could not be processed. I've updated the information, now how to make certain that my fee was properly paid?
HI nocaldavid,
If you're referring to your ExportPDF subscription, I can confirm that it has renewed successfully. The next in your account billing date is November 27, 2015, and the account is active.
You can find a receipt for your payment by following the instructions in this document: manage your membership and your payment. Creative cloud. Look in the section payment & credit card.
Best,

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -
