Safari locked Zeus virus

Should I be worried? Today, while trying to go to the Gmail site this (see photo) came on the screen and I had to do a closed hard.

The message says windows detected that? Is the Zeus on the Mac virus.

Older (about 5-6 years) iMac, running OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6

It's a scam. Do not call the number.

If the pop-up recharge, force quit Safari (command option/alt - esc) and reopen it with the SHIFT key is pressed. If this does not work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/history and delete the Web site. Quit and reopen with the SHIFT key is pressed.

  • Intermittent Safari Lock-up; Firefox is not

    Info: iMAc (20-inch, easy 2008), 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB.  Disk 320 GB SATA with two partitions"Mac HD and Bootcamp (this space is not used).  There is a free space of about 120 GB.

    Software: OSX El Capitan 10.11.4, Safari 9.1 (the only Extension is DuckDuckGo; Plug - ins are for Adobe Acrobat, iPhoto Photocast and Shockwave Flash), Firefox 45.0.1 (no Extensions; Plug - ins for Adobe Acrobat and Shockwave Flash video Codec OpenH264 1.5.3), Opera 36.0.2130.46, Flash Player NPAPI plugin Ver 21.0.0.197 and PPAPI plugin Ver 21.0.0.197, Adobe Reader 11.0.15.

    The problem with Safari started, at first, when I try to scroll forward one page had fully loaded.  Experimenting with it, I wait until a page was loaded, and then scroll down.  Early on, no problem.  However, over time, the problem worsened.  System would begin behind closed doors.  Sometimes, if I noticed a slowdown in performance, I would move the mouse back and forth as fast as I could.  Could be a coincidence, but this does not prevent the camera.  However, subsequently there and a power down was necessary.

    Due to the age of my system, I was wondering if it would be a hardware problem.  Before taking this step, I thought I would try Firefox.  Not only the pages load more quickly, at the approximate rate which is used to make Safari, there is no detention.  (Note, however, there are 'crashes', from time to time, even if they do not prevent me to continue to use Firefox without taking certain measures, including closing and re-opening).

    For a few weeks, I have variously reset NVRAM, reset the SMC and double checked that my software is up to date.  I got SOPHOS on the system.  However, it has been uninstalled.  More recently, I did a Combo update of OS X El Capitan 10.11.4.  My solution for the current time is mainly use Firefox.

  • Safari lock up my iMac

    Apparently at random times, when you use Safari, my computer crashes upward. I'll use the mouse to scroll a page and suddenly everything freezes: the mouse still moves the cursor autour, but I can't click anything and the keyboard is turned off - I can't quit Safari and I can't use cmd - tab to switch to another application. All I can do is to use the power button to turn off the computer and restart.

    This has happened sometimes for a few months, with older versions of Mac OS X. It seems to happen more frequently - twice today already. Thoughts?

    iMac OS x 10.11.3

    Safari 9.0.3

    "Apparently at random times, while using Safari.

    "Might be an extension of incompatible Safari or third party plug-in...".

    In the Safari menu, click Safari > Preferences , and then select the tab Extensions extensions uninstall then leave then restart Safari to test. Continue until you find the incompatible Extension.

    If it is not a question of extensions, try troubleshooting third-party plug-ins.

    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the tab Security Deselect: plug-ins Allow. Quit and restart Safari to test.

    Hi James,

    1. what browser did you use to access Facebook?

    2. what security software you used for the virus scan?

    I suggest you analyze your computer by using Windows Defender in offline mode. Windows Defender offline can help eliminate hard to find malicious and potentially unwanted programs using definitions that recognize the threats. Definitions are files that provide an encyclopedia of potential software threats. Armed with definition files, Windows Defender in offline mode can detect malicious and potentially unwanted software and then inform you of the risks.

    Note: There could be a loss of data while performing a mode offline scan using Windows Defender to remove viruses as appropriate.

  • Finder crashes when you use safari

    Two or three times a day that the Finder and Safari lock, using mid-2011 iMac 27 with 36 G of Ram, latest OS, Suitcase Fusion and Adobe Creative Suite. It has happened since the last OS update. Any ideas?  I'll log in safe mode and see if it happens again.

    Hello

    OS X is up to date but what about Safari...

    Open the App Store, and then select the updates menu.

    Latest version of Safari is 9.1.1.

    If no update is available, check the startup disk to find errors.

    Launch the disk utility located in HD > Applications > utilities then select the disk to boot on the left and then select the first aid tab and then click run.

  • Virus Alert 2016

    Unfortunately, my Mac Book Air was hit by a virus for the first time in five years. I was unable to open or use safari because the virus continually would open a new page, me confused on some rogue services.

    According to me, the virus must have been picked up on a random website as my phone and ipad are not affected.

    Take care and do not rest on our laurels. Geek Squad CT cleaned in 36 hours for $159.

    Please let me know what US authority I should send the details of the attached screen shot, to make sure that the phone number and website related Web is stopped.

    Concerning

    Your Mac is not infected with a virus, and if you have paid the Geek Squad CT to 'clean', you were scammed. Mac can get malware or adware, but get no viruses (unless you use a Windows partition, in which case it is possible for the side Windows viruses).

    You might have to force - quit Safari, CMD + OPT + ESC, and then began to Safari in safe mode (hold down the SHIFT key while opening), in order to avoid the pop-up retunring.

    Don't know what may have been installed by the people gave you to your Mac, but if it was the Mac app filter, you must completely remove it from your machine.

    Sorry, but you have been scammed...

  • real virus or not?

    So I tried to watch a series of TV drama online for free and I clicked on this site and as soon as I clicked it, it came with a system error message saying safari caught a * viruses and I need to call 1800 018 586. It also says that I should not ignore this problem since it can steal my personal information.

    Since this is the first time for me to use a mac pc, I'm really scares me and called the number.

    It was directed to a lady who helped me to close safari (I didn't know how to do) and she realizes the call to this other guy who told me that I needed to activate the firewall because it was disabled (again once I had no idea what so ever about this) and he then said that the problem is not fixed, and asked me to pay for fixing credit card number and all.

    Since I'm only 18 years old and are not own credit card, I said that I don't really have a way to pay for it.

    Then he got really fierce and began to tell me all the things hacker can do and which do not. I got bit scared of this guy so I hung up and started looking for what to do when I get error messages on mac system. As I was reading tips of Web sites, I realized that the error system not all messages are actually mac (as it can come from a hacker).

    So I would really like to know if this sort of thing is actually real or not, and it would help a lot if someone could help me!

    Should not have called this number and enabled a person to access your Mac.

    Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

    You can also remove the adware manually by following the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    After that, make sure that your default search provider is set to the one you always use. To do this, open Safari - Preferences - research.

    Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'

    Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.

    Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.

    I also believe that it would be a good idea to install AdBlock and contact the Apple Support for assistance.

  • Should I install a security on my iPhone and iPad application?

    My home network was infected by koobface.  Fortunately, Safari locked my iPad and told me to contact Apple support.  It was discovered that my wi - fi has been infected.  Is there antivirus protection, should I install on my iPhone and iPad?

    N ° there is no knowledge of viruses that can affect an iOS device. Everything you put on to try to ensure safety 'extra' will only bog down your performance and likely to cause problems with your device. Just be smart about where and how you browse the internet, what links you click on, what did you download and you will have no problems.
