After a malware attack last week that rewrote my registers I had to restart from a restore point. The problem is now when firefox wants to update, it want to use the site that contains malware. I need to reset it to the proper site how do I do this?
My son was using the cpu at the time of the first attack. He got it cleared out and working. A day later it hit again when I was using the computer. As soon as I saw the fake virus scan I brought up taskmaster and stopped it. Almost immediately it started running again so I stopped it a second time. When I did, it shut down windows explorer. The only thing that would run was the malware. I brought it up at a restore point and it ran normally. This cycle has been repeated several times.
Both Avast and SpybotSD will find and delete the malware, and both of these update normally. I think that when firefox updates itself, it is requesting data from a malware site rater than from you. How do I reset this?
Try this:
#Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''Advanced '''and click the '''Network '''tab.
#In the Offline Storage menu, click the '''Clear Now''' button.
#In the location bar, type '''about:config '''and hit Enter.
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there. You'll see it revert to "Default" and "String".
#Go to File | Exit
#Restart Firefox and go to the page you want to set as your homepage
#Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.
#Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
#Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

I don't know what I downloaded that caused the problem, but now when I try to make a new folder on the desktop of my new Windows 7 computer, I have only the following choices: Shortcut, Bitmap Image, Contact, Microsoft Word Document, Journal Document, Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation, Text Document, Microsoft Excel Worksheet, and Briefcase. No new folder choice. Anyone have any ideas how I can correct the problem?

i updated to ios 5.1.1 and added icloud services. the problem is now whenever i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes does not recognize my phone. i need it to but it just does not connect..
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:

FF bounces, then immediately freezes up. Must force quit. Never had any problems before.
By the way, when I hit the first URL in your post, I get a warning that the certificate is only valid for '''www.'''vitalityforlife'''.'''com. If I add www into the URL, it loads normally.

Naturally I can't actually log in, but does that make any difference for you?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies --before trying to log in. View a page on the site, and then use either of these:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

Subject: Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini
Dear Leslie J.,
Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.
Apple Support
<Email Edited By Host>1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working? -

I updated to I0S6 but when I go to update my apps I get error message that I need IOS5! Why am I getting that message after already updating to IOS6?
The Apps are probably a bit behind and have not been updated to work with iOS6 yet.

i need to buy a new macbook pro/i am from OR, but i am in PA now/when i asked about that i found the tax will be around 100$/there is some one said to me that if i have the ID state of OR i would be able to buy it by the samr price/is it true ?
Goods delivered to you for personal or business use (not for resale) in Pennsylvania are subject to Pennsylvania state sales tax.
If you are exempt from Pennsylvania state sales tax, or are a Not-for-profit corporation and have a DBA certificate in Pennsylvania, you may be able to buy tax-free. I doubt this.
If you have the goods delivered to your address in Oregon, and there is no state sales tax in Oregon, you would not have to pay state sales tax.
Since Apple does business in all 50 states, they are also obligated to charge you sales tax (for the state where the goods are delivered) when you buy from the Apple Online store. -

my phone has been losing calls and according to the apple store i need to reset it due to a software fault - i have done this and still have the same problems. how do i reset the phone without reinstalling the soft ware fault by way of icloud backup
Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

Do not restore from backup.
