my wife recieved the auto notificaton for an update to adobe reader
9.0 and clicked to install it it carried with it a malware hijacker that installed a pdf file i believe... see bleepingcomputer.com thats how she fixed it.
Maybe you can give us some details instead of just sending us to a site where the issue isn't an obvious find?
What kind of notice (was it actually generated by an Adobe product)?
How did you determine something was malicious (and not a false alarm created by your AV application)?
There shouldn't have been any malicious anything if she used the automatic download. If she downloaded it from somewhere else other than Adobe, then all bets are off.

    Your plugins list in "more system details" shows Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_31 for Mozilla browsers so Java should not be blocked.
    Could you post a link to a webpage where Java isn't working for you? YouTube uses Flash, not Java. Here is a list of Java test pages you can try, to confirm that Java is working, from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Testing_Java

    By the way, I see in your plugins list that you also have the VLC media player Web Plugin 2.0.0 so, it's possible that the VLC plugin is causing a conflict if YouTube or other videos don't work. See [[Video or audio does not play]] (you may need to disable the VLC Media Player plugin in the Add-ons -> Plugins list for some media to play).

  • Someone stole my Ipod in school and I would like to know how to use the Ipod tracker that comes when you update your Ipod. Can someone please help me?

    Can you please help. The tracker comes with the update for the Ipod Touch with Camera

    There is no tracker application bundled with an iPod (nor iPhone nor iPad). Apple offers an app in the iTunes Store that allows an iOS device on which the "Find My..." service has been set up to be tracked from another iOS device (the app goes on the device doing the tracking). But the service has to have been set up on the device you want to track before it was stolen.

  • I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

    However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
    What should I do?

    In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
    Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • How come I cannot update my iTunes to the latest version?

    How come I cannot update my iTunes to the latest version?
    Whenever I click the setup icon, nothing happens.
    Or when I click "Check for updates" in iTunes, nothing happens too.
    Can anyone tell me what's wrong? And what should I do?

    Many thanks.
    It seems unlikely that McAfee is causing the damage here. But it may be interpreting the installer damage as indicating an unsafe package. (The damage is causing the file to not be properly digitally signed.)
    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • When ios 7 comes out what update will my ipod touch 4th gen get??

    when ios 7 comes out what update will my ipod touch 4th gen get??

    It appears that the iPod 4 gen is below the cutoff for iOS 7
    See http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonesoftwareterms/f/What-Devices-Are-Ios-7-Compatible .htm where it say support for iOS 7 only goes down to iPod 5 gen.

    Yes, it should work.  They are still purchases under that account.

  • Do firmware updates come with Software Update and installed automatically?

    Do firmware updates come with Software Update and installed automatically?

    Do firmware updates come with Software Update
    Yes.
    and installed automatically?
    No (at least, I can't think of one that has automatically run). Usually Software Update will download an updater that you then need to run separately. Usually the updaters will be installed to the Utilities folder ready for you to use.

  • I have iphone 4 os 7.04, tried updating to 7.1, but continously shows error that I dont have working internet connection, though I have one and tried via wifi and 3g same error comes. The update has been downloaded, agree pressed but no further??

    I have iphone 4 os 7.04, tried updating to 7.1, but continously shows error that I dont have working internet connection, though I have one and tried via wifi and 3g same error comes. The update has been downloaded, the page shping license agreement comes. As soon as I press agree, it asks me to wait for verification and then this error that there is no working internet connection comes, even though I have one and it works fine

    Try these steps as needed:
    Reset phone: press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  You will have to re-enter WiFi passwords
    Connect phone to iTunes on your computer and update using iTunes

  • Bought a MacBook air but it did not come with the updates

    I bought a MacBook air today, and it did not come the software updates, everything on the dock looks really dated. Is this okay? I bought a different MacBook air earlier this week and it came with all the software updates, the one I purchased today is not updated whatsoever. Is this normal? Should I take it back and ask why it didn't have the updates? Or do I conitnue updating to it on my own?

    It sounds as if you did not purchase your machine through an authorized Apple dealer.  So I wonder, for example, if you actually purchased the very latest MacBook Air (2014 model) in a factory sealed box.  I recommend you make your purchase from an authorized Apple dealer.
