  • Safari has found a Trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx).

    I thought that I was updating my flash drive, but apparently, instead I installed malicious software on my iMac.  Now, whenever I run Safari, I get redirected to a page that looks like it tries to be the Apple Support, but wants me call (and pay, I'm sure) to get this virus deleted from my computer.  I have also get this popup notice, "Safari has found a Trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx) on your Mac.  The site I'm headed to that is http://apple.com-systemnotice.com.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • Safari has been hijacked by ads (javascript)

    Safari has been hijacked by the ads. I rooted out launch launch demons, agents, deleted all the data of the Web site, additional extensions (adblock, clicktoflash, trafficlight) and the problem persists. The only thing that stops it is disable javascript, but it returns if I activate again. The words that should be plain html are converted into links Hypertext/rollover and they ALWAYS display an ad of "Top case" no matter where I click on the screen, they open an ad. I called Applesupport, and their only solution was to leave Javascript disabled or communicate with Java. But Java only pay support. Someone at - it suggestions? I'm at my wits end here.

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

    The new App Store for El Capitan update has locked up my macbook pro.  Reboot got about 3/4 fact and the machine stops. Turned off the power and turn it on again for nothing doesn't.  How in my machine to begin troubleshooting?

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.

    Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.

    Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  • This morning when I started Firefox it shows my home page as screwed up as yesterday but Safari has shown as it should look like, what is wrong?

    I currently use version 3.6.24 Firefox on my PPC mac with 10.4.11 system. I use Firefox for many years without any problems. I received yesterday and on my screen to alert that there is a new update of Firefox available at the facility. I clicked on OK and the update started. When it's over, I checked and it's the same version, 3.6.24, I used and apparently nothing has changed until I went to my eBay site. Once on my site, I signed in and went to manage my Articles page. The page was different because normally it shows all the items, I have for sale and at the top of the list of points of sale are the three items to check and look at my listings, which I look at you, my profile and my alerts. When you click on one of them you are normally taken to another page. When I went there after apparent installation of the updated release of Firefox page showed my ads in a single column, my profile in another column and third column for my alerts all on one page. This is not normal. I got out and went to my home page which is http://www.rr.com/. Now it was different. Parts of the site have disappeared, the sections with the weather, news, and reviews. I thought it might be the site and then I launched Safari and went to the same page and it is normal. This morning when I started Firefox it shows my home page as screwed up as yesterday. Safari has shown as it should look like. I then started SeaMonkey and it showed the page as it should look like. I really like Firefox and I'd like to get it working again as it should. Would appreciate any suggestions. My email address is [email protected]

    Clear the cache and cookies from sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox > Preferences > advanced > network > storage (Cache) offline: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox > Preferences > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • My safari has stopped working and will not charge

    My Safari has stopped working and will not reopen little matter how hard I try. I was told to paste some information on this forum.

    Try to open Safari in safe mode.  Make sure Safari is no longer running, the black dot in the icon on the Dock should not be visible.  Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the Safari icon.  If Safari loading, the problem is related to the third-party extensions or plugins.

    My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen displays the dell logo and says that I need the master password or administrator, my son can't remember and we do not have the reset disk, is it possible to get and reset the password or enter the system

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of your normal connection.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.
