  • Pop-ups that won't go away no matter what

    Hello, I am lookinf for a solution: my children went on a torrents dowload site. They downloaded some tv shows. I ended up with lots of pop-up windows everywhere and on some web pages there are highlighted words (in green) that are itself pop-up windows as I approach them. I have tried bit defender, Safari settings (blocking pop-ups) and nothing seems to work. Coud I get some help, please?

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • My Foxfire keeps freezing during use, and there are pop-ups that appear during each selection of an application

    What more do you need. Foxfire keeps freezing on my computer and it is sending pop-ups when any application is triggered.

    It sounds like you are having problems with pop-ups. Most are adds
    but a few give you false information claiming something is
    out of date, software needs to be installed, blaaa blaa, blaaa. Go to the
    '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''''
    and find a good add / popup blocker.
    Let us know how things work out. '''''BTW''''', there is an update for Firefox.

  • Pop up that won't go away

    I have a popup that appears in add format telling me I need to update window viewer to continue. I don't believe it and suspect that it is a Trojan installer. I am using 25.0 and I have uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it. The popup only appears when I hit a link on a page. I am still attempting to figure if it is a select link but it does not appear so.

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • I have a pop up that won't go away!!!

    Let me preface this by saying I reset permissions on my mac after it was giving me some trouble about being able to write files to a external drive as well as my own hard drive (the reset fixed this). I did this by booting into repair boot and reseting permissions and ACL's. The only problem is after booting up I get a pop up login box saying : "networksetup is trying to modify the system network configuration. Type your password to allow this." <<<< this window will not go away no matter how many times I enter my password or hit canel. It goes away for a few seconds and comes right back. I just discovered that my vpn won't turn on either.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!
    <Edited by Host>

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem 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.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • I am using Greasemonkey extension to play Kingdoms of Camelot and today the pop-ups used to ask other members for help are so far to the right that they can't be used.

    When I first signed on the page kept refreshing every 3-4 seconds. Another player gave me some URLs to download and it fixed that problem but now the pop-ups that are part of the game are loading halfway off the page to the right and the advertisement section on the right is significantly wider.

    You might want to use the discussions tab for that script so the author can assist with the issue. I'm not sure which script it is -- this Google search retrieves over 1000 results!

  • Difference between local agent and standalone agent

    Hi all,
    Can you please tell me the difference between local agent and standalone agent?
    I am getting a bit confused about this.
    Regards,
    Sourav

    Local agent will be running under the context of the main ODI session i.e. it is linked to an open session of the designer, operator etc. Standalone ODI agents run in their own JVM process and could be installed on any server and do not require an open instance of the ODI client GUI to run scenarios

  • Log Reader Agent and Snapshot Agent wont start

    Hi There,
    I've two SQL 2012 servers with multiple instances installed.
    I've started replicating the databases in these instances using transactional replication and thus far they've worked without a hitch.
    One of my instances, annoyingly, has an issue where the Log Reader Agent and Snapshot Agent refuse to start, and I've followed exactly the same process as with the other instances\databases.
    The Agents are configured to make use of a domain user account with sysadmin permissions to the instances on both servers.
    I get the following two error when I View Log Reader Agent Status:
    The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 2 (Run agent.).
    I've asked the agent to run as my DOMAIN\sqlservice account, so I've no idea why it's moaning about sa?!!?
    I get the following error when I View Snapshot Agent Status:
    The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Di
    If I try to start either agent I'm told that the request to run job was refused because the job has been suspended, "Changed database context"??  Error 22022.
    Can anyone help?

    This is because your job owner is sa.  Right click on your job and notice the owner - but is should be sa.
    You likely have another issue. You may need to run the job and configure it for logging to see what the error is.

  • Can you turn off the Yellow and Black cursor pop ups?

    Since 10.4.x I have noticed that these little pop ups that you get when the cursor is over something that has info are more frequent and are getting in the way. I love the idea but, they either don't pop up when I need them, don't stay up long enough to read large areas of text, or get in the way of moving a URL to a menu bar of my browser and I have to wait for it to go away before the address will copy.
    I think I saw something somewhere about this but can't remember. It there a way to turn these off?
    TIA

    Hi
    The term I think you're looking for is "tooltips". It seems that there is no obvious way of universally turning them off. An application's developer decides how they are implemented for the indiviual application. I notice that in Opera, my browser of choice, I can just turn them off in the preferences. The same does not apply for Safari and, by the looks of it, most Apple applications including the Finder. See the discussion Disabling "tooltips" in Safari...... for a little more info.

    Cisco Trust Agent collects security posture information from the NAC-compliant applications running on the network client and reports them to the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS). These are some NAC-compliant applications:
    - Antivirus applications
    - Personal firewalls
    - Host-based intrusion protection applications, such as Cisco Security Agent (CSA)
    Cisco NAC is a strategic element of the Self-Defending Network. Working together with other Self-Defending Network components such as Cisco Security Agent and the Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (Cisco Security MARS), Cisco NAC helps organizations achieve more accurate threat identification and prevention while increasing patch management efficiency.
