it´s look like a virus

Sounds like you probably have adware installed, not a virus. See my Adware Removal Guide for help removing it.

    how to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

    No easy way. Unless you use the same username and the same password on both system then you have to enable Windows File Sharing (SMB) in Sharing, add your Mac username and type in your password in the options of Sharing and then set a NetBIOS name and a workgroup name that is the same on both Windows and Mac. That is in the Network section under advanced WINS tab.

  • How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

    How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

    depend on the document program more then anything else really
    when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
    with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
    but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
    or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

  • Firefox asks (twice) to save and close tabs, on new open windows without tabs, when i close them.

    About one month ago, i started to receive a message box from firefox, asking if i wanted to save and close tabs, on newly open windows (and pop-ups) without any tabs open on them.
    And everytime i close the windows without tabs, firefox asks it twice...
    I did not made any changes, so i don't know why it started doing this.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • When I open Safari 7.0.2 it starts opening windows without stopping

    Hi,
    all of a sudden, Safari starts opening windows continiously whitout stopping. All the windows appear white. I am only able to stop this by forcing to quit the app. (The Keyboard is ok, nothing pushes cmd+N by accident....) Does anyones Safari had the same issue?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • How can I use single hard drive for both Mac OS and Windows without changing the formats and reformatting?

    I have a windows PC and a Macbook Air and a 1TB external hard drive. They said in order to transfer large files into the hard drive you have to change the format of your hard drive (which would be from MS-DOS to Mac Os extended) so how can I use my external hard drive on my windows PC without reformatting its files? Please heeeelp 

    Natively Windows can read and write to NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT while the Mac can read and write to FAT32, exFAT, and MacOS Extended.
    Option 1: You can purchase driver software for Windows to allow it to read and write Mac's MacOS Extended or you can purchase a driver to allow the Mac to read and write to NTFS.
    Option 2: you can format the hard drive for exFAT and use it with both Windows and the Mac without purchasing any special drivers. (Obviously the 4GB file size limit is why you don't want to use FAT32)

  • Does Firefox has a feature can allow websites to open windows without address bar as IE 7?

  • Can't see my win7 library on my mac, yet I can see mac's in windows (itunes 11)

    Let me start by saying that I did not use Home Sharing before, It's my first time I tried to use that.
    I have 2 computers, one of them is PC, connected to router via ethernet cabel, and the second one is MBP, connected to the network by wifi.
    I set up a Home Sharing, and the problem is, that I can browse my Mac library in WIndows without any problems, but my Mac can't see windows library at all.
    Any solutions possible? It's not that it does not work; in fact it does, but only in one way.

    Purchasing the music only gives you one download for it, but you can move and backup the song files as if they were any other type of file; to locate them, control-click a purchased item in iTunes, choose Get Info, and navigate to the listed location. Drag them into the open iTunes window on the second Mac.

  • In OSX Safari, how do I drag a single open window to an existing tab set?

    In OSX Safari, how do I drag a single open window, without tabs, to an existing window with a tab set?
    I have an iMac 5K running Yosemite.

    Thanks, but I have multiple open tab sets and want to move a solo window to one of the windows with multiple tabs. It seems there must be a way to grab that solo and move it in with the tabs. My workaround is to add a tab to the solo window to create a tab that I can grab, but isn't there a "handle" for a solo window that is "grabbable"?

  • Open Windows doc on Mac without Windows software?

    I'm thinking of switching to a Mac, and was wondering if I am able to open a Windows document on a Mac without installing the Windows software.

    I don't know what a "Windows document" is.
    If you are talking about a Microsoft "Word" document then you have several choices to open it on a Mac.
    Word for Mac
    OpenOffice
    Install Windows on the Mac and open the document with MS Word
    I'm sure others will have many more suggestions.

  • Why does FF open two windows when I open it? Why can't I close the second window without closing FF altogether?

    After FF automatically updated it started opening two windows whenever I start FF. One window has the open tabs from my previous session and the other window has only the FF home page open in one tab, nothing else. I can't close either window without shutting FF down altogether. I have limited RAM (3GB), running Mac Lion, which eats up a lot of resources and now FF eats up the rest. It's a real pain in the ass.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • How do you stop with open sites without permission?

    When I'm using mozilla firefox open some sites without my permission. And when I'm not using the browser it opens sites alone too.

    How do I make it stop opening these sites alone?
    PS: I've tried blocking cockies and images, but to no avail. I hope you can help me please.
    thank you!

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • CS3 files made in Mac can open in Windows? s

    If you save a Photoshop or Illustrator whatever file in Mac, can you open and work on it in Windows without any compatibility issues?
    I am curious if I can work on a same CS3 file both on Mac and Windows.

    The short answer is, "Yes". Photoshop on either platform will open a TIFF, Photoshop .psd, EPS, or any other file you save from PS. Same with Illustrator and InDesign.
    As far as incompatibility, it's the same as it's always been. If you use layers effects in CS3 that don't exist in CS2, then they of course won't work when you try to open the file in CS2 on either the Mac or in Windows. And as Limnos mentioned, there's always them darn fonts. If you use OpenType fonts, you can copy those from one platform to the other to avoid slight differences in Mac Type 1 PostScript fonts as opposed to Windows Type 1 PS fonts, which cannot be used cross platform.

  • My macbook air keeps opening ad websites without my permission. I've removed all website data various times which hasn't worked. this is making it very difficult for me to browse. please help?

    I'm scared i have a virus. safari keeps opening windows/tabs without my permission. these are normally ads. i have removed website data various times which hasn't worked.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. 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.
    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.
