• Suspected malware in the form of Adobe Flash Player install crib

  I believe that I have installed a few malware disguised as an update of Adobe Flash.

  I may have made on July 11, 2015, in response to a pop - up in Firefox 39.0.

  My computer shows symptoms of malware. Looking into the problem, I discovered on the 'Flash' malware on the Apple support page https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3122.

  You are invited by reading that, I searched my system and found a file I think. When I search my Applications folder by using the term "flash," I see an instance of AdobeFlashPlayerInstallManager.app version 18.0.0.209, copyright 2008. It is installed in the Utilities folder. It was created on my Mac on July 11 and amended July 14, which would be consistent with the time period where I now remembers seeing the context menu of browser who said that I was using an outdated copy of Flash.

  Now, I'm trying move the suspect Flash application file to the trash. When I right click and select move to trash, I get a Finder window asking my computer password. Should I do this? If this is not the case, how to remove this suspicious file?

  Please let know us also on all the other steps recommended recovery.

  I learned the lesson is not to update software through pop-up windows in the browser.

  Attach a screenshot of the window read the information of the suspect file.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Flash Player creates the AdobeFlashPlayerInstallManager.app in/Applications/Utilities /.  You can check if it is a legitimate "Adobe" file by checking the signature on it.  To do this, follow these steps:

  • Start Terminal.app From/Applications/Utilities
  • At the prompt, type: codesign vdv - Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Flash\ Flash Install\ by
    • You can type codesign - vdv and then drag the AdobeFlashPlayerInstallManager.app file in the Terminal window
  • The results should have ' authority = Developer ID of Application: Adobe Systems, Inc.

  The reason why you're being invited, by the operating system, for the password is that the directory of the application has elevated permissions and to remove the file from her (or install) requires the admin password to make changes to the protected file system directories.

  Adobe has also released and updated Tuesday, July 14.  If you may have gotten a notification pop up as a result.  However, without a screenshot of the popup notification, I can't verify it was that, or something else.

  If you want, I can take a look at your FlashPlayerInstallManager.log file and see if there was an update around the time that this has happened. Please read the FAQ where can I find the Flash Player on Macintosh Setup log? for the location of the log file.  This FAQ contains several different log files, just look for FlashPlayerInstallManager.log and provide a file using the specified item was not found. instructions.

  Also, if you have not yet done so, you can run a scan for viruses/malware/adware/etc.

• z820: suspect z820 temperature probe causing one of the two processors to misbehave

  I'm running a double z820, who became very strong.

  I ran the HWMonitor and HP Performance Advisor for the diagnostics on the system and found some interesting things:

  1. The system thinks that CPU 1 is running at 92 degrees Celsius. And CPU 0 is on average about 35 ° C.  When I opened the case and check it out.  CPU 1 is actually cold to the touch.
  2. CPU 1 fan spin at about 4900, while CPU 0 fan is walking to 1100.
  3. Clock speed of the CPU 1 is locked to 1.1 Ghz.  CPU 0 is running to his good 3.5 GHZ

  So my conclusion is that the system is badly interpret the CPU temperature, CPU 1 fan to hyperspeed and ratchet down the clock of the CPU speed to try to protect against overheating.

  Oh, and if I'm not running something that causes the system to try and use all procs on two processors, the system stops.

  Overall, I currently have a workstation hard, running barely answer half speed and intermittently closed - which is unproductive and boring.

  -If my assessment is healthy, my question is: where to look to find the thermostat for CPU 1 so that I can either replace, or maybe the cable must simply be re-allocation of places.

  Any ideas would be fantastic.

  Problem solved.

  Coolant replacement brought to form normal and the machine is quiet and cool operation.

• What are the causes the limit 2 Gig Ram in m1170n Media Center computer?

  What are the causes the limit 2 Gig Ram in m1170n Media Center computer? It can be corrected? Makes for a much slower PC than it could be. I can update only 1 3/4 Gig and yet it can begin.  I tried the bios update that is available on this site, but it doesn't seem to change anything. It would be much nicer I could date within the limits of the operating system. 4 GB. Don't know what I'll use this 4 PC yet, but this could be the deciding factor.

  Here are the specifications of your HP Media Center m1170n desktop computer and its card mother PTGD1-(Puffer). Based on the specifications, this model has a maximum HP approved limit memory 4 GB (4 x 1 GB = 4 GB). The problem you are experiencing is perhaps due to incorrect memory modules, modules of memory defective or damaged, defective or damaged memorty slots or a very defective or damaged motherboard.

  Run the available at startup BIOS Diagnostics or download "memtest86" and create a bootable media. Then, run the test on each module individually, in the same housing. If all modules pass, rerun the test... this time by adding an additional module... Repeat until all slots are filled and all modules of memory are used.

  Please post back with your results.

• "You sure you want to delete the file without moving it to the Recycle Bin? In response, 'No' causes the file to be left undone.

  Separated from this thread.

  I think the bug has something to do with the partitions created with TrueCrypt.

  Indeed. Make the truecrypt as removable disk volume in options of fixed the problem :)

  The suggestion did not work for me.

  I use Windows Home Premium and Truecrypt 7.1.

  When the volume is "removable", an attempt to delete causes the prompt, "do you really want to delete the file without moving to trash? In response, 'No' causes the file to be left undone.

  When the volume is not removable, an attempt to delete causes, command, the prompt "you want to move the file to the Recycle Bin?  I clicked 'Yes' the file disappeared from his record, but was not visible in the trash, even if the trash appears to have contained.  By clicking on "All content, restoring" the trash, has no effect.

  Basket of content used to be visible and restoration-able.  I recently opened some volumes on a drive not used for several months.  Other that that, I can't say why the trash behavior has changed recently.

  Suggestions appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Colin

  I suspect it has to do with the size of the 'file '.  When a file is larger than the preset size of trash, your options are to delete without moving to the trash.  No way that you do not want to delete it without moving it to the Recycle Bin, but if she's great that recycle it bin it cannot so it just happens.  If you say yes it removes without moving to recycle.

  You can change the size of your trash by right click > properties > change size

• On Windows 7, by pressing the eject button on the DVD player sometimes causes the monitors to twinkle

  My PC works fine for just about everything, except when I need to pop in a CD or DVD. It seems random, but when I hit the eject button on the DVD player, my screens sometimes twinkle. It happens about once every 5 times as the button eject. I'm running a dual monitor, with a monitor on a DVI input and the other on a HDMI input. Both monitors sparkle.

  The only things I can think of that can cause the problem are of my diet or my graphics card. My PC has never stopped on me during other operations, including executing some more processor intensive tasks. This seems to be a problem with my graphics card, but why my graphics card would randomly hitting the eject button?

  I found the solution to my problem of graphics. Wow, really?

  So after the video driver updated, he set a maximum resolution on my HDMI output to 1600 x 900. That's if access you the resolution settings through the control panel > display > adjust resolution. Is not that how most people set the resolution?

  The update of the driver has replaced the max resolution by default setting, but it can be given via Intel display control panel (no was not yet aware, I had such a control panel). This control panel option is available for the Intel graphics controller hardware. To set the resolution, right click on the desktop and select "graphics properties." Select 'Advanced Mode', and then configure the resolution 1920 x 1080. Once the parameter is committed through this control panel, the Windows 7 Control Panel settings to work as you would expect, and the monitor is the 1080 p display.

  It is delayed. Pardon my French.

  Well, at least now I'm back where I started, IE still has the problem with the eject button causing the dual display to flicker. It happened only twice since the update of the video driver, then perhaps that these events were flukes?

• Jump in the middle of an audio track streaming on various sites causes the stuttering and audio glitch

  Hello

  Please refer to this thread for support on the technical support of SoundCloud forums. The thread contains all relevant information, including videos of the screenshots problem and console, made by myself and others. https://www.soundcloudcommunity.com/SoundCloud/topics/skipping-to-the-middle-of-a-track-causes-stuttering-and-glitchy-audio-chrome-Firefox

  In short, when you try to move forward for streaming audio, there is a memory buffer/stuttering problem that prevents a correct reading of the track. This problem is confirmed on SoundCloud and Traxsource and other people in the support thread mentioned Mixcloud and other streaming sites. In other words, it is not the special streaming service fault or another.

  The problem does not occur in Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer or Chrome. Well, to clarify, when the issue was published on SoundCloud support forums, Chrome was having the same problem. However, they made a version a few days ago thrust, that fixed it.

  Here's my original on the SoundCloud support post (less), which has the relevant details. Note that we have updated both Flash and Firefox recently, so although I have mentioned earlier in my original post, everyone involved has since updated their browsers and Flash.

  From now on, the only solution for the problem is to go back to Firefox 40.0.2. Thanks for any help =)

  Matt

  Original message =.

  Jump in the middle of a track causes the stuttering and audio glitch (Firefox).

  I am running Windows 10 Pro.

  There seems to be a problem of caching that affect reading - I started noticing this problem three or four days ago. Previously, I could jump through my feeds at will, go straight until the middle of the tracks or mixes of listen seconds and determine if I liked the track. Now, I can't do it on Firefox 41.0.1. The problem is simply annoying on songs that are 3 or 4 minutes in length, as I must leave "cache" maybe ten seconds before jumping. Unfortunately, the problem is a game-breaker on mixtures which, for example, are 90 minutes long. If I jump to a point directly in the middle of the combination, nothing happens. The play button alternates between the 'Play' symbol and the symbol of 'Caching' ('... "), and so audio resumes, it is glitchy and consists of different parts of the track being played at the same time.

  I've eliminated my internet connection as the source of the problem by loading on board. On the edge of 20.10240.16384, the problem does not exist. I can scroll down to any mix of 2 hours in my stream, click on the middle of it, and the audio starts right up. No caching, without stuttering or glitching.

  I drove back Flash version 18 to see if it solved the problem in Firefox, but it did not. The problem persisted, so I re-updated to Flash 19.

  Yes, I understand how all versions and updates to work. I meant it as a generation of powder magazine. My bad.

  I consider this problem to be solved. Several different pre-release versions of Firefox have solved the problem; I have personally used both of them that work perfectly. A representative of Bugzilla stated that the patch will be integrated into Firefox 42, which will be released on 3 November.

• Skype or last update causes the disconnection, accidents

  Have used Firefox for several years. Today, I was forced to upgrade to Skype 7.1. Immediately after the installation of Skype, Firefox would be is more to connect to internet or load web pages (tab "connection... ("say forever). Other applications and browsers work fine and there is no interruption to the internet connection of the PC. After about 2-3 minutes of this, Firefox will crash if left alone.

  After that, firefox.exe remains as a process and can never be completed. I try 'end process' and 'End process Tree' in the Manager of tasks without success.

  Firefox remains a task in the Manager of tasks forever, even when the browser window is closed. If I try to re - open Firefox from there, I get the error "Firefox is already running but is not responding". When I click on "Close Firefox", I get a new error message that says: "cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. After that I'm 'OK' of this, I can't do anything else that to restart the computer to get rid of firefox.exe Manager tasks... and then the cycle repeats.

  Not sure if Skype is to blame that Firefox updated itself today. I blame Skype because it was the same Weird hanging in the Task Manager without ever closing until I disabled the video processing in Skype (and due to the suspicious timing).

  I tried clean re - installed, running Firefox with disabled modules and re - install Skype as well. Same behavior in all cases.

  Any suggestions? Note that I am submitting this from another machine.

  This may mean that a loaded program is causing the problem.

• When Firefox crashes and restart is necessary, Firefox always try to open the same tabs that caused the failure before.

  I use tabbed browsing all the time. When I open a tab of a Web site that poses a problem, freezing Firefox (but not the computer), I find that I can delete the Firefox problem only by restarting the computer. I am so appalled to find that Firefox then tries to recreate the same set of tabs that caused the problem in the first place, causing Firefox freeze again. Usually I can get it out by closing Firefox and very long wait for Firefox to close completely so that it can be restarted again.

  This problem occurs in version 4.0 as well as in the latest version of 3 that I had. I remember that in some versions previous Firefox asks if you want to recreate your tabs or open in a new browser window. I always took the second option. This choice is no longer makes its appearance.

  Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about: config to get page the on: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

  Which allows to deselect the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
  
  See:
