The current Virus and malware Notifications - true or false

I continue to receive notifications of virus or malware on my iMac with OS X (10.11.5).  Are these for real or are they scams?  How can I get rid of them - notifications is that they are fake or viruses if they are for real?

They are all scams. Nothing can analyze your Mac over the internet.

They can only come from the Web sites you visit.

It could also be related to Adware. Have you already installed all the programs on websites to download software such as CNet, Softpaedia, etc.?

  • Restore to factory settings get rid of most of the viruses and malware?

    Restore to factory settings get rid of most of the viruses and malware?  I read that restoring to factory settings is a way to get rid of viruses and malware, but I also read that it does not get rid of all the viruses and malware.  On average, approximately what percentage of virus/malware done restoring a system get rid of?

    Thank you

    Restore factory settings will get rid of all viruses and spyware because it completely re-images your HARD drive - there is nothing of the old installation - everything is crushed by the new image.

  • Received a call from phone scam someone saying my computer is infected with the virus and malware

    original title: support for pc rj

    I recently received a call from someone called Mark of pc rj support and they said that my computer is infected with viruses and malware. Immediately, I hang up and called my computer technician who went to my place and said: my computer is absolutely perfect... This chap Mark said he also is an employee of Microsoft, which I highly doubt. He asked me to download something that my antivirus detected as virus...

    I would like to ask microsoft to focus on this

    Its fake. Ignore it. There are a lot of posts here, saying: it's a scam. And this has nothing to do with Microsoft. And MS (and everyone else) are aware of this

    There are two routes you can go for it. You can use a web service based in to do it for you or you can install an add-on for Firefox can take this place... I found the Add on YouTube video and Audio Downloader to do it for you

    Be wary of Add-ons that you download from outside addons.mozilla.org because they may have some malware in it. -Add-ons which are downloaded through AMO (addons.mozilla.org) are tested for viruses during the download process and if they come out dirty, they will not be transferred.

    The other way to use a website that accomplishes this task for you. I use this method myself because it is easier for me. There are two that I use

    Hello

    Besides what TheOldMan seconded and advised, I would like to add that if it is possible, it is very unlikely because of the way the virus and malware work today and because of theway the function of recovery partitions.

    I mean, you can't rely 100% on the recovery partitions, they are good, but not 100% subject to attacks or loss. However, if your PC ever be infected, this does not mean that the recovery of the partitions will become infected and unuable.

  • Is it possible to reset the date of the last virus and update the spyware definitions in XP?

    I have xpsp3.  I was looking at my calendar to find out what day of the week, an event that happens in November, and unfortunately I forgot to go back to the date of the day before I have updated the definitions of viruses and spyware on MSE.  Now, MSE think my latest definitions of viruses and spyware are obsolete, because they were supposed to be updated three months from now.  So my question is: is it possible to reset the date of the last virus and update the spyware definitions in XP?

    Correct the date on your computer. Remove the antivirus/malware product and reinstall.

    -OR-

    To restore before the update, use the system restore. Make sure the date is correct. Update.

  • After you type the master password in session can force type master password once again without ending the current session and start new session?

    Sometimes after using the password to access an account during a given session of firefox, I want to "repeal" this ability of automatic access (i.e. require type the password again once) without having to put an end to the current session and restart firefox.

    It's nice to only have to type the password once per session, there are times when after launching an action that I would let the browser unattended for a short period but to prevent others to access sensitive information on other sites if they can't my master password. Note that this is not the same thing as "locking the browser. Currently, the only way I know to force it is to kill the session and restart the browser but it's not very satisfying if I really want to stay connected (allowed) to a particular site. I hope that adding a button in the Security tab "requires the master password for the current session" would be a simple solution to implement? Thank you for your attention.

    You can connect from the software security device (e.g. click Cancel in the dialog box display the passwords) to force them to return to the MP once more.

  • Need a way to clear a form on the current page and not the entire form...

    IM new to Adobe Acrobat and worked on the conversion of some of our OmnForm 5.0 form PDF file, I've created a form that contains a button to clear the form.  It works very well!  Now, I created a template in the PDF of the current page and then created a button to spawn a new page of the model.  Creating the page works as well.  The only problem I have is that the clear form button clears the entire form.  I need the key to erase only the current page.

    I'm a relative newbie when it comes to script.  I can understand generally simple scripts when I see them, but to create new groupings still isn't my forte. HE's researching the resetForm method, but it seems that there is no option to move the current page to him? (As I said I am relatively new to java scripts).  If anyone has the directions on how to do it I would be very happy.

    You can use the code that I posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4234483

    You should read the docs more closely. It gives you the current time in time, which includes the date.
