"Spyware Alert" software "Soft Cop". Another box is also coming which says "Infiltration Alert"
All of a sudden, we get a "Spyware Alert" box which, if clicked on, takes us to a credit card for the software order form 'Soft Cop ". Another box is also coming which says "Infiltration Alert". What! I ran our spyware Detection software and it showed nothing wrong. It's for real? I would like to know if I can act on it OR get these alerts go away. Thanks for the help!
It is a rogue security program that claims to find files infected your computer and try to make you pay for the program. Don't do it! Click on the top of the window title bar to close the window, or press Alt + F4 on the keyboard.
If you want to try to remove it yourself, first run a full scan with your antivirus program. Next, download and run these programs:

Load a backup of Windows 7 transfer of a Vista box on another box of Vista?
Get this for luck - as my XP computer was dying, I downloaded Windows 7 transfer (WT 7) and got a good backup to send to my new Windows 7 box. Then the old computer is dead. Then I loaded the backup successfully to the new box - and then he died. Now, I am using the WT 7 backup file to load on a spare box of Vista. WT Vista does not recognize the WT 7 file, and when I run WT 7 he insists that I must be on the old system and don't go to the screen to load.
Do I have a chance to do this work? (Load WT 7 backup Vista box on another box of Vista?)

Moving installation of cluster COE from one box to another box
We want to move the WCC existing (cluster) from one box to another box (the two unix). We have the cluster / folder {who have records cs /, vault /, weblayout /} on the drive shared, mounted in the source running on 11.1.1.6.0 machine.
We installed the same facility in the destination area. We want to follow the steps below to move the config., destination data source.
(1) stop the source servers.
(2) modify the details of the db in destination of weblogic in the source db console.
(3) remove the shared / source folder and mount in the destination area. (The vault, weblayout, cs files will be mapped directly to destination ucm)
The other qns we are
(1) the above steps are correct and COE will work without any problem.
(2) do, the houses of the area must be synchronized (because the destination area is a fresh installation)
Just to test, I copied the cluster/cs / source folder to the destination and destination of the content servers are working properly. (I did not copy arch / weblayout and changing the db)
I saw an article on cloning of WCC servers
It is Possible to Clone content Webcenter 11g? (Doc ID 1507480.1()
He said the documentation http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e10105/testprod.htm#ASADM11306
Target already exists, it is just asking migrate config. using CMU. Should I worry field homes or cluster/cs is sufficient for the WCC smooth if they are synchronized?
Thank you

Whenever I turn on my computer I get a box that pops up and say "Update: there is an error during installation." Please reinstall the application"How can I do this?
Original title: when I turn on my computer
You should consider carefully as pop - up and determine what application has a problem.
If he has no idea anywhere in the pop - up, first physically disconnect your computer from the Internet (because in the following steps, you will temporarily disable your antivirus software).
- Click Start and type "msconfig.exe" (without the quotes) in the search box and press ENTER.
- When the "System Configuration" window opens, select the tab "start".
- Uncheck the half of the listed items (for your convenience, click on "Startup Item" in the column header to sort the items alphabetically)
- Click OK and restart (click here to avoid the warning that you are in a diagnostic mode)
If the pop-up warning does NOT appear, the problem application has been one of the items you unchecked. If this is the case, reopen the System Configuration and check again half of the elements that had checked you.
Similarly, if the pop-up warning appears, then the application problem is that remained turned on. In this case, open the Configuration of the system, again check the items that you had disabled, then uncheck half of the remaining items.
- Restart and continue the process until you have identified the problem application.
- Once you have identified the problem application, open System Configuration once more, select "Normal startup" on the "Général" tab and restart.
- Do not forget to reconnect your computer to the Internet
- Uninstall or reinstall the application issue.

I started getting pop ups very recently (oct 2015) I went to the Panel and programs a characteristic and class list install by date. At first it was one that I distrusted, maintenance on a hunch and firefox decided to uninstall it. I made the right choice - and how this program type of spyware/adware on my computer.
Hi, there is a legitimate program called Mozilla Maintenance Service, which in your programs, should show the same under Firefox version number - what is the Service of Maintenance Mozilla?. If that's what you mean, it would be not responsible for pop-ups advertising. If it is really "Maintenance of Firefox", then I would have certainly considered with suspicion.
You can check your settings pop up here - the Blocker settings, exceptions, and troubleshooting.
If the problem persists, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

I'm trying to upgrade my software Macromedia Flash and I can't perform the upgrade because the dialog box tells me to close Firefox. I close Firefox and the process keeps telling me that it cannot perform the upgrade until I close Firefox Firefox is closed! Don't know what I can do.
If you have already downloaded Flash Installer, restart your computer, and then try to run the installer of Flash. then try launching firefox and upgrade to Firefox 11. Does it work? Usually problems like this are caused by a bad extension, so if it works, we can diagnose your extensions.

Firefox has a message that warns of a system infection in his system?
I received such a message, and he asked me if I wanted to take steps to fix it. When I hit this button is an another message asking me if I wanted to download something. It took to agree me until the first program will decide.
I don't know if I've cleaned the infections. How can I checklNo. - Firefox is not send messages like that or do all antivirus scans. It was a ruse to scare you and force you to download a malware program that could give you some real problems that should be fixed.
