Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

How to get rid of the ads placeholder in chat view...

how the hell you managed to get rid of the ads placeholder in the top of your chat view ?

The ads should not be shown immediately after you added the Skype credit t your account and changed conversation windows. Did the ads persists even after you restarted Skype?
UPDATE: Just saw that you alreayd stated that the ads persisted even after restart. You shouldn't see ads after adding Skype credits.
Are you sure you used the same Skype account that you purchase the credit for in the Skype application?
Do you recall that you saw the Skype credits shown in your Skype user interface?
If you indeed used the same account you purchase Skype credit for it would be a very bad bug For me this doesn't reproduce though: My account with credits doesn't shown ads in Skype.

If you're seeing a message in your web browser that your Mac is infected with a virus, and given a phone number to call for help, you're being scammed. There is no virus. See:

How to get rid of someone else's MAC ID on my computer and iphone

Hello Everyone,
I have not yet been able to register my apple computer (notebook), which i bought now a few years back. Trouble is that a person who was house/cat sitting for me, must have used my computer without my permision and now his email shows up everytime i try to do anything using my apple iD. I can't get rid of his ID in my computer's memory, whenever i need to insert my apple ID. How do I get rid of his email address and see mine? I logged out and back into my account, but that didn't help. I reset my password, but still his ID keeps coming up, and, as i don't know his password (obviously) I can't get rid of it.
Now this has contaminated my G4 and I can't get into itunes and therefore can only use my G4 as a telephone. Can't do anything more with it than i could do on my (cheapest available) phone.
I am absolutely blocked, can't register either my G4 or my apple notebook and can't buy any apps or use itunes on my G4.
Any help in gtting rid of this person's ID would be well received.
The other problem is that this person is a confidence trickster (obviously i didn't know it at the time) and i am worried he can hack into my computer, use my network etc.
Regards
Mary

Sign out of iTunes & App Store and sign in with the correct Apple ID.

How to get rid of genieo tool from mac?

I cannot get rid of genieo from safari. I have change the preferences on safari. It doesnt appear when I open safari but if i am searching for something it comes as my default search browser

There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is not trustworthy, you shouldn't rely on it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know that, stop here and ask for guidance.
Quit the Genieo application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/etc/launchd.conf
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder may open with a file selected, or the file may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that it doesn't exist. If it does exist, it's a configuration file created or replaced by the Genieo installer. Any software installer that does this should be considered ipso facto malware. Move the file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
IMPORTANT: If the launchd.conf file exists, you must move it to the Trash it before continuing. Otherwise the systemwill become unbootable. In that case, restore from your backup and start over. That's how badly Genieo has sabotaged your system.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
Again, some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file doesn't exist. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Reboot and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have rebooted.
Your web browser(s) should now function normally, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including one called "Spigot" if it's present. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
The Genieo installer may also install the "Silverlight" web plugin from Microsoft. If you have no use for that plugin, you can remove it according to Microsoft's instructions. Don't remove it if you subscribe to "Netflix" or any other video-streaming service that uses it.
This procedure may leave a few files behind, but it should deactivate Genieo. Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install it. Chances are you got it from one of the Internet's open sewers such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad embedded in a page on some other site.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

How to get rid of PC Virus on Mac?

Hi.
I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.5. Today, Symantec Endpoint Protection scanned my computer and detected an infected file name xvidsetup.exe. I know that it was a virus named Bad-Sectors.3422 (x) that infected the file. The file was originally in my trash can. Upon detecting it, I deleted the file manually. When the scan was done, I tried to delete it from Symantec, but it did not let me. I am assuming that it didn't let me delete or repair the file because I had already gotten rid of the file. I was wondering if the file is permanently deleted and how to delete PC viruses in the future if I do get one.
Thanks.

First, note that your Mac cannot be infected with a PC virus. Deleting the file is all that is necessary, and even that is only necessary to avoid passing it on to others.
Second, Symantec has a proven history of not understanding the Mac. Their software has been known to cause problems, and their detection of Mac malware is not particularly good. See:
http://www.thesafemac.com/mac-anti-virus-testing-01-2013/
I would recommend removing that. Then read my Mac Malware Guide for information on protecting yourself against malware.

How to get rid of adware on my mac?

When on line with Safari or Chrome I am plagued by intrusive pop up tabs!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

The simple answer is to avoid the sort of trashy website that serves such ads. The complicated answer is to disable JavaScript when visiting those sites, or to install ad-blocking software such as GlimmerBlocker.

How to get rid of motion blur

I wasn't sure how to get rid of motion blur off my pictures. I saw this prototype that they showed to the audience at the Adobe MAX 2011. I could not believe the result! It was absolutely perfect! When would they finally release it, or have they already released it and that I didn't realise? If they would not release it, why wouldn't they when it showed the perfect result? Are there any alternatives I could use?

In PS CC you can minimise the camera motion blur(photo taken with shaky hand ) but you can do nothing when subject itself is moving and caused blur in photo
