security issue: "Windows has detected the Zeus virus."

My MacBook Pro displays a popup indicating that Windows (Yes, Windows) has detected the Zeus virus on my computer and suggested that I call a phone number provided immediately.  Obviously some scareware.

How to clean my MacBook.  I don't see anything on the web Support pages.

Thank you

    Ive gave my laptop below specifications and the specifications of the hard disk drive.
    I do not know which drive hard im supposed to be looking at.

    I don't want to buy one and then duty send because its incompatiable.
    Ive done some reading on the internet and he says I cn buy any production, but I need to know wheather its an IDE or SATA, what are these and what do mean? How can I find out what my current car?

    Also should I look for a hard drive with the same speed? It doesn't matter if its fatser?
    Wise, capacity is also ok for larger, will my laptop be able to handle it. Thanks for help

    Hello

    The Satellite A200 supports the SATA HDD controller.
    That's why you need to buy a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    The value of the rmp is not really important for compatibility issues with the 4200 RPM HDD or more is possible and compatible.

    SATA controller not limited to any size of HARD drive, you can also use large drives.

  • Windows has detected an IP address confilct.

    WINDOWS HAS DETECTED AN IP ADDRESS CONFLICT

    I have windows7 and a few days ago I started getting the message "WINDOWS has DETECTED AN IP ADDRESS CONFLICT. ANOTHER COMPUTER ON THE NETWORK HAS THE SAME TO IP ADDRESS OF THIS COMPUTER. CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR FOR ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. MORE DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE WINDOWS SYSTEM EVENT LOG. "What does that mean?  Is using wifi has nothing to do with it? Can someone help me please?

    Yes just check if your wireless router has active DHCP then remove any address ip defined manually (static IP)

    or if there is no dhcp, then change the IP address of your system manually

    hope this is the answer

    Hi Konyga,

    If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?
    If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.

  • I get a message saying that windows has detected another computer on this network. I have another computer could be this one

    I get the message windows has detected another computer on this network.i have another computer could be this one and is it a problem?

    Hello

    1 have you added the other computer on the network?

    2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    3. When do you have this error code or error message?

    The computer has detected in the network may be the other that you have, you will need to check the network and check the name of the computer. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    You can get a new IP address from your computer. You will need to do if you encounter connection problems.

    a. Click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    ipconfig/all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)
    The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.

    c. enough at the command prompt ipconfig and press ENTER. This frees up your current IP address.

    d. ipconfig / renew in command prompt and press ENTER.

    The DHCP configuration for all adapters is renewed. To renew the IP address for a
    specific adapter, type the name of the map that appears when you type ipconfig at the command prompt.

     

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists and you have not Windows Vista Service Pack installed
    then you can refer to the link below and check if you use the fix passes solve you the problem.

    Yes the sticker of the product keys match the diagnostic report. I've been running this product for more than two years and now all of a sudden it is not valid?
    I recently had a problem with hard drive with this machine and had to reinstall the system and restore data from a backup. Is it possible that this has some how changed the PID at the origin of this problem?

    If I have no choice but to buy a new OS can spend to Win 8 or will I run into a question?

    As I said before, "No matter how long he ran 'okay'..." »
     
    Copies MSDN work very well - until Microsoft discovers that they have been used in a way not scheduled (they are sold by unscrupulous people who probably to sell at an attractive price in comparison to other copies - a lot of people don't care about questioning why they might be cheaper.)  Others may sell at the same price and make more money before disappearing).
     
    You have an MSDN copy.  Your PID has not been changed by restoring the backup.  ;-)
     
    You can try changing your product key of Windows 7 than on the sticker:
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/osproductkeys/HT/change-Windows-7-key.htm
     
    Then try to activate by phone:
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/18715-activate-Windows-7-phone.html
     
    And come back to report to what past.

    What operating system do you have on the laptop before? You can get a Windows 8 upgrade for that - but I would not honestly - recommend it because the difference is quite obvious and you haven't checked your software and hardware is supported on Windows 8, I know. My recommendation for Windows 8 is to use * if * the system you have came from the manufacturer with it pre-installed. :-)
