I have a virus, how can I remove it

All of the sudden I have all of these pop ups.  I think that this virus has even invaded my campus email?  What is the best way to scan my computer (free) and remove this?

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

    You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
    Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk.

  • HT1349 I have just had an anonymous phone telling me that I have a virus how can I check

    How can I check if there is a virus in my computer

    I'd have to agree with Rudegar. If they didn't ask you to do anything or offer any kind of assistance, then it was probably a prank.
    Keep in mind that nobody can tell you remotely that you have a virus, just out of the blue. Your internet service provider can detect suspicious network transactions that may be an indicator of malware (generally more so on Windows machines), but even then, they cannot tell you anything conclusively.

    It is very simple. Yahoo uses Microsoft .NET FRAMEWORK Assistant to hijack your browser. Go to the upper left hand corner (Firefox 10 - it might be elsewhere on older versions) and click on the drop down arrow. On the right hand side, click on "Add-Ons", and a list will appear. Locate .NET Framework Assistant. On the right side, click on "disable" and then either click on the small line that says "restart", or simply close Firefox by clicking on the red "X" in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Reopen Firefox and -Voilà, your problem is solved. As far as I am concerned, Yahoo has created a virus when they hijack your preferred browser - a good reason to dump Yahoo for any other use. On the other hand, Microsoft is not innocent in this endeavor. If you want to get rid of the real problem. Dump windows and switch to '''Ubuntu''' Linux. You can find it '''free''' on the internet.

  • I think I have a virus, how can I get rid of it?

    When ever I am on the internet and I try to go to different websites, this drop down usually appears and says "safari can not identify the server..." It is either asking about the website I am trying to go to, or trying to send me to a completely different website which is spam. It has never done this before until this week. It happens when I go on facebook, or weheartit, or google. It even happened the hole time I am trying to use the apple website. Should I just take it in to the genius bar? Or is their something that I can do myself to stop it? For the spam addresses I have marked them as 'not safe' but it still continues to try and send me there.

    either asking about the website I am trying to go to, or trying to send me to a completely different website
    It's not a virus but there is a solution to the, "Safari cannot identify the server" issue. Your ISP may be re directing your browser.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, it's free, and no more re directs.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK and restart your Mac.

    It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
    1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
    2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
    3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
    4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
    5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
    6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
    7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.

    I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • My Internet company sent a notification saying I had a "BOT" virus on my computer and that they would shut my internet access down permanently! They given 48 hours to fix it. How can I remove this virus!?

    Flashback is only one possibility.  See About the Flashback malware for information about it and how to get rid of it.
    Unfortunately, these kinds of problems can happen for a variety of other reasons.  There's very little malware that actually can cause a Mac to become part of a botnet.  You could have an infected Windows PC on your network.  (Perhaps because of a visitor or because you're using an open, unencrypted wireless network and have a "squatter.")  Or it could be false positives.
    If you do all the checks mentioned on my Flashback page and still can't find any infection, you need to lock down your wireless network (change the security to WPA2 with a strong password) and check out any Windows machines that are on your network.

    The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
    Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
    Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
    Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
    So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

  • I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number.  We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill.  How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

    Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.
