What is this adware?

My Macbook Pro to the 2015 start has been infected with adware. I scanned with Bitdefender and it grew up Adware.MAC.OSX.Macinst.A. Where do I get this adware from? Recently, I tried to download a file on Softonic (Logic Pro X) but stopped. Could it be the problem? I think that it is. I tried to remove it using Malwarebytes, but it did not work. When I tried to delete the file, it me invited to enter an administrator password. I am the administrator of my computer, but that is not the problem at the moment: where do I get this adware from?

If you are unsure, then it certainly doesn't know

The usual suspects are shady or sites torrent, emails downloads and most Web sites.

  • What is this symbol?

    I am a newbie with iMovie 10.1.2. In the middle of the picture below, what is this red arrow and the small icon (maybe an icon for a clip?)? I have no idea how it got there, its uses, its meaning or how to get rid of. (Small stays icon where you see, with the red arrow as if it is attached to the arrow). The red arrow behaves more or less like a slider. If I move it to the playback head, he likes with the playhead. Unless the reading head is in the gap between the clips. Then it can be moved elsewhere. Very strange. Thank you

    It's the slider you see when pressing the R key to select a range in a clip. The arrow is red until you move it over a clip and then change to black. It should move with the skimmer. You see this continuously even when not having not touch R? If the restart if iMovie should erase.

  • What is this file?

    Hi guys,.

    I clean my hard drive for space I wonder what is this file? It is grayed out so I can't click on it.

    No mud round in system folders unless you want to cause a disaster. See the following topics:

    How to free space on the hard drive

    1. You can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.
    2. Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the free space on your hard drive.
    3. See also, release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
    4. See where my disk space gone?.
    5. Remember to empty the Recycle Bin to reclaim space.
    6. Replace the disc with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.
    7. Use OmniDiskSweeper or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are.

  • What is this page?-opening care

    I have used Firefox for a long time, and I know going well in 'Options' and customize my home page to open every time I open FF or even a new tab. But lately I get an annoying page that says in the top right corner ' what's this page? In addition, the search engine on this page works again - when I click on search, nothing happens. I have to click the home button to get my home page every time. Boring. Any suggestions or corrections to this problem?

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • What is this error message on a web page: "No. is pudo insertar IP 2605:e000:3 fc 0: 37:6563:1afb:8 d 61:9783 en datos base."

    When you click on a link to a web site in Spanish, I get an error message: "No. is pudo insertar IP 2605:e000:3 fc 0: 37:6563:1afb:8 d 61:9783 en datos base.»

    Is this a problem with the web site or on my computer?

    Thank you
    Lymsi

    The message says that it is impossible to insert your IP address in the database. It's probably a problem with your network. While I do not know what causes this, here's something to try:

    1. connect your PC directly to your modem via an ethernet cable. (yellow cable goes to the router) If you don't use Wi - Fi, skip this step.

    2. If you cannot access the website via the modem, call your ISP.

    3. If you can access the site via the modem, reset your router by pressing the reset for a few seconds button. (ATTENTION! This will reset your wifi name and password!)

    4. If you can not access the site, try to buy a new router. The NETGEAR N150 router is easy to set up and very affordable.

    Hey, I know it sounds crazy, but trust me; This solves a problem with my wifi does not not a specific Web site.

    I had the same problem and it has chewed all my disk space. I have a 64-bit Windows 10 - disk 250 gig. I deleted all these files except those with current date and released the 150 gig. Much better to delete these temporary files to risking a crash operating system running out of disk space.

  • When I try to update to Firefox, I get a window saying that it cannot be loaded because I don't have all the necessary permissions. What do this mean and what do I do?

    When I try to update to Firefox, I get a window saying that it cannot be loaded because I don't have all the necessary permissions. What do this mean and what do I do?

    If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG

    • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
    • Install the new version you downloaded

    Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug.  Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD.  What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?

    My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug.  Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD.  What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?

    Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

    As for what it implies - most of the time nothing more than simply sitting and waiting to do his thing.

  • What is this update of firmware for Portege M400?

    Support on the Toshiba site newsletter we 98082168 refers to a firmware update to correct 'white screen after waking from sleep state '.

    I get this problem, but unfortunately, I am in the United Kingdom. Anyone know what is this update of the firmware, how can I check if I need it, and tips to keep her as the support United Kingdom said he doesn't know anything about this?
