• Pop-up ads continue despite all the information here regarding remove them.  I think they were watching when I downloaded an update for Adobe Flash Player.  All of the suggestions!

  I use OS x El Capitan 10.11.2 on my 3.2 GHz, 8 GB Mac.  I keep getting the pop - ads that those scam ads reply and get their malicious software solution.  I also get the help line 'Apple' where someone's endearing supposedly walk me if they can help.  I tried all of the solutions in the Apple support groups, but nothing has worked... remove extensions (don't have), in order to put the files listed in 'Go to Folder' (none came, so I couldn't remove them).  Any ideas?  It seems that it got worse after I received a notice to update my Adobe Flash Player... maybe a false update.

  1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

  The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

  Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

  2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

  There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

  3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

  You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

  In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

  You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

  Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

  However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

  4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

  ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

  ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

  ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

  ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

  These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

  5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

  You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

  6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

  7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") The title of the page is 'Diagnostic Test'. Under the title is a text box, headed by three small icons. The right one represents a Clipboard. Click on this icon to select the text, then copy to the Clipboard of your computer by pressing Control-C key combination.

  If the text is not highlighted when you click the icon, select it in triple - click anywhere inside the box. Do not select the whole page, just the text in the box.

  8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

  9. If you see an error message in the Terminal as "Syntax error" or "Event not found", enter

  exec bash

  and press return. Then paste the script again.

  10. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

  If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

  If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

  11. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

      Test started

          Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec

      The test results are on the Clipboard.

      Please close this window.

  The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

  Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

  12. when the test is finished, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

  At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

  If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

  13. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

  14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

• XP hangs at startup and the dialog box provides the following: a problem has prevented Windows to check exactly the State of this computer

  I am rebuilding a system that has been attacked by several viruses and had to rebuild XP using the Windows installation disc.  After completing the repair, I was greeted by the XP logon screen and I tried to log in as administrator. The standard screen grass-hill appears followed by a Windows dialog box to activate product indicating "a problem has prevented windows to check exactly the State of this computer.  To keep your copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft. You want to activate Windows now? "If I choose 'No', then Windows drives me back to the login screen.  If I choose "Yes" then Windows does nothing - activation does not occur and XP does not start... the system just hangs.   I also tried to open a session without failure, but he said that I could not activate safe mode and started back me to the login screen.  I am able to get to a command prompt, if I select Mode safe mode with prompt at startup.  FYI, I am able to view the structure of this version XP Directory when I configure the HARD disk as a slave on another system drive.  Any help to resolve this matter will be highly appreciated.

  I have exactly the same problem and after 2 days of searching and trying stuff found on the internet, I have solved this problem.

  At my computer configuration: Windows XP sp3 with IExplorer 8, but had to go back to the repair facility after that some system files have been corrupted, do not know why.
  My repair CD installation was: Windows XP sp2

  In my view, the main problem is that after the installation of repair, the system obtained in conflict of existing versions of IExplorer 7 and 8. IE 7 & 8A prevented the application of activation of MS (OOBE) of working after the installation of repair, the OOBE application silently chrashed and prevented the logon process.

  I couldn't connect even in safe mode, BUT with failure + command prompt, safe mode I managed to log on! So, choose the mode without failure + command promt in the trunk. Then open a session with success. Then close the command prompt and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to Task Manager. In task manager launches the new application "c:" and answer 'No' to the following question, and after an error message you c: drive open and you'll have office. You can close the System Restore Wizard who opened. Then go to c:\windows\ie7\spuninst and run spuninst.exe. Do the same to c:\windows\ie8\spuninst. After you have uninstalled both, restart windows, and after the first issue of activation, you should get the big activation dialog box.

  I have spent a lot more time, because I was told that uninstall IE7 and IE8 is possible to do this via the command prompt. I did, but it has not fixed my problem. Then I tried a thousand other tricks at the same time.

  Please let us now if this helped you.

• Windows 8 buggy again after many problems and refreshes.

  Hello, this has been my third discount over the last 2 weeks. Windows 8 always worked fine for me until about 2 weeks ago, when he got into a loop of auto repair after a reboot.  I tried everything to fix it and finally I had to update Windows.

  After that I finally managed to install most of my programs lost and began to enjoy my PC once again, suddenly the Windows Explorer crashed and began to close and restart all the time. When I tried then auto repair, it remained stuck in another loop, this time with a nice BSOD at the end I searched a lot on the internet and I tried everything I can to remedy this, but finally I had to réactualisiez.

  After this refresh Windows seems to work perfectly, and better than ever before, I could even install some updates, that I was not able to install before because of some kind of bug. Then after a certain update that upgrades to Windows 8.1 appeared in the app store. My first attenpt to install failed, so I googled the error code upward and run the update during a clean boot with updated graphics drivers. The update failed, but this time my internet connection is completely. After some research, I discovered the autoconfiguration service WLAN could not be started due to error 193: 0xc1. I tried all possible ways to fix that I found on the internet, but nothing has worked. Finally I have a third update of despair.

  Given that the update, I can't sem to be able to install half the updates and all click on boxes of the metro interface miss the text. When I tried to contact Microsoft support, I discovered my product id is "unavailable" and everything is just very bug.

  So, what should I do now? Perhaps yet another Windows refresh help? Is there meaning to perform a new installation? Is this necessary?

  I also finally have windows 8.1.

  Table of contents of the double thread:

  A clean installation resolves all possible hard disk problems?

   
  Hello, I had a lot of trouble with my PC for the past 3 weeks, including the BSOD and other kinds of bugs and crashes. I described most in this issue:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-system/Windows-8-buggy-again-after-many-problems-and/7618aacf-7503-44ed-a3ff-ebe0d6823832

  Now everything seems to work again fine, but I get several kinds of problems. When I tried to install the video card drivers that my computer kept freezing, most Metro applications turns off after opening, some programs do not start sometimes and I get a lot of other mistakes. My computer needs correct the mistakes of hard drive several times a day.

  Everything points to the failure of the hard drive. However, I use an SSD. I don't know if this changes anything though.

  Then my last question was a clean install would stop all this evil for good? And if not, what might help?

  I just wanted you to know that I finally discovered the cause of the accident. Because those made completely inaccessible Windows, I couldn't dump files. But after each clean install Windows crashed after I installed a bunch of software. But I was not sure what software it is, so I made a wrong bet, and my computer crashed again.

  So, after that 2nd clean installed, I searched for accidents with the program I knew most, Deamon Tools. Each accident came when I restarted the computer after a session, I have installed or used Daemon Tools in. And indeed, it turns out be known to cause a BSOD. However, that sounded weird to me, because I used it for many months and never the source of problems.
  After that my 3rd installed clean, I decided to restart my computer after each program I have installed, in the case of another wrong bet, but do not install Daemon tools. And now, while I tap on my beloved PC, it works very well with all my software, with the exception of Daemon Tools.
  I also red published there also with pretty much every other ISO mounting program on Windows 8. No idea how to mount the ISOs anyway? (Edit: oh, it seems that Windows 8 is a built-in ISO film editor.)

• A lot of pop-up windows and sticking in the browser behavior

  Have weird ads via safari and chrome. A lot of popup displays in any browser and also a few become clickable buttons disabled and typing becomes almost impossible through any program that uses the web. When you are not running any browser, everything works perfectly fine.

  Recently, my brother was received by an irritating contextual advertising on his Mac. I guided through the steps to remove, so I'll repeat it here.

  Pop-up ads are advertisements that open above or below the window of your browser, in another tab, or as a graphic element in the current window. Sometimes they refuse to leave the same when you try to close.

  If these ads appear, DO NOT give type of important information about your Apple ID, credit cards, etc. If an ad does not close, it's almost certainly a scam after your money.

  To get rid of adware, begin by closing pop-ups that are open. If a window pop up on your Mac includes a checkbox "don't show alerts more since this Web page", check the box before you close the pop-up window. If a window closes (like in the case of my brother) close Safari on

  your Mac.

  Restart the web browser on your Mac that you hold down the SHIFT key. This prevents the reopening Safari automatically all the windows.

  Then, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, and then follow these steps:

  • Click on the security icon, and select "Block pop-up windows" to stop certain types of pop-ups.
  • Check the settings of your homepage and search engine. Sometimes adware changes these settings.
  • Click the general icon and make sure the homepage field is empty or contains the Web site you want.
  • Click on the search icon and make sure that the setting of search engine displays your favorite search engine. In some versions of Safari, this parameter is in the general pane.

  If you still have problems, or just want to check your Mac occasionally for adware - download app in sandbox "Dr. Safetry" in the App Store. It's free for domestic use clean adware, in addition to malware including trojans.
