What are these files that keep appearing on my desktop and how can I stop them from showing up?

Ever since I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks, I've had these strange files show up on my desktop. The trouble is that they show up even a little while after I delete them. Here's a few examples:

I've done a few virus scans, but they showed no viruses. Why are these files always popping up and how can I prevent them from appearing on my desktop again?

You need to delete Bitdefender from your Mac. It will cause you nothing but problems.
Removing Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac
The best way to prevent malware from being installed on your Mac is to enable Gatekeeper.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • Youtube won't let me type in comment box below video, and keeps affecting the video when I hit keys. why and how can I stop it from doing that?

    It seems whenever I use YouTube with Firefox, the YouTube video will only ever let me interact with it unless I go full screen then hit escape. if i don't, I can't type in the text box below the video. even stranger, if I go to a new tab and try to enter something into, say, Google, I can still pause and un-pause the you tube video, even in the other tab, just by trying to type in a text box. Why is this happened, and how can I make it stop? it is starting to get very disruptive.

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 14 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

    More, I would suggest creating a new Firefox profile for sanity [1]

  • Why does the cursor keep going to the address bar and how can i stop it from doing that?

    For some reason after one of your updates, the cursor on the browser always goes to the address bar. It deletes the address and wants me to type in a search term. I have gone through the necessary changes that your support page suggested to turn that feature off, but it still does it.
    It is seriously irritating and inconvenient. How do I stop it from doing that. I am very close to not using Foxfire anymore as my default Browser. Please let me know how to fix this problem.

    For me at least, it's not a mouse setting.
    It started after an update a couple of months back and nothing I can do will change it. Tried running in safe mode, it does it, tried a reset, still does it. uninstalled, reinstalled, does it now too.
    It's infuriating!
    Currently running version 31.

  • What are the "bookmarkTools.dupBm160" (many entries) in about:config and how can they be removed if not needed?

  • What causes the gaps in smart instruments Playback on GarageBand, and how can I stop it?!

    It's so annoying, often the smart guitar is missing notes when you play back, but if you stop start the track they come back, but the next time you listen they are missing again!! Where can I email a punch in the face!!

    What are you syncing them WITH? Do NOT say iTunes. iTunes is NOT a contact manager.
    If you're syncing them with your computer, your choices are MS Outlook or Windows Address Book on a PC, and Contacts / Address Book on a Mac.
    If you are not syncing your contacts with a contact manager or cloud service, you are NOT syncing your contacts.
    See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Particularly this item and disclaimer:
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.

  • What is a "short code" and how do I stop them from texting me?

    I started getting texts from what is apparently a short code in December.  Now I am getting them daily.
    I really need this to stop.  And yes, I tried replying "stop" and that hasn't helped.

    This sounds as if it is related to an app you had installed and then un-installed but are still receiving push notifications. This is sometimes how apps are able to get push notifications for their apps. The app signs your phone up for texting notifications to let the app know when there are updates, such as posts or status updates. Sometimes when the app is un-installed, it does not correctly remove the notification procedure. Sometimes the app does not correctly intercept the text which is what it is supposed to do before you get the notification that you have a new text. These do not normally show up in your text log and you are not charged for them.
    You may have to call CS to have this stopped. You can also check online for other methods as one example of a quick google search for "short code 6250"

  • Where are the settings for blocking installation by websites stored, and how can you edit them?

    An external app (my work Lotus Notes webmail) wanted to install something and I accidentally clicked "deny" and "remember this", when I wanted to allow it. Now I have no idea where I can remedy this. Any ideas?

    Where do you click that button?
    Is that on a web page?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

    I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

    They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
    Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
    Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?
