Any recommondations on how to remove DNSchanger and trojan virus?

My isp has sent an email indicating I have a 2 trojans and a dnschanger resulting in spam being sent out?

Facts
1. DNSchangrs work only on windows XP they do what they say changer the DNS servers address on YOUR PC - Hijack your Web browser and point you at shadow sites, there aim is to steal your credit card and bank details.
They are often disguised in **** downloads *(that's the Trojan bit and they change the DNS numbers by running an secret .exe script)
That .exe script will NOT work within OSx period.
2. This year there Has been several versions of the SAME Trojan discovered in the wild directly targeting OSx.
Provided you are running the latest 10.6 or 10.7 - Apple has provided a builtin security and removal tool that is updated daily in the background that hunts down and searches for these Trojans using identifiers, notifies You and removes them automatically !
3. It might look legit but scammers are devious.
4. If you want to use added anti virus (remembering that there are NO viruses but several Trojans) look at something simple and preferably FREE or at least from a reputable company that understands Mac such as Integro.
Norton does bad things itself !
Try.
Clamdav

Or
Intego

Also you might want to monitor ALL internet traffic to and from your machine.
There is a little app that does this VERY WELL called
Little snitch

These are specific Mac Products !
As I said I think that e-mail is a scam its self.

    Any suggestions on how to remove an "aura" from around a selection in an image?  I shoot pictures at rodeos.  To make the rider stand out, I create a mask around the rider and then blur the background with Gaussian Blur.  This results in a noticeable blur around the outside of the selection.  I have tried using Feathering as well as other Refine Edge Tools.  The only thing that works is to go around the edge with the Clone Tool.  This is time consuming and not totally successful.  So, my two big questions are: (1) Is there a better (simpler) way to avoid the aura? and (2) If not, is there a way to remove the aura that is simpler?? 
    Thanks in Advance,

    Sorry, what with the long title I had neglected the body of the message and your statement
    The only thing that works is to go around the edge with the Clone Tool. This is time consuming and not totally successful.
    seems to answer my first question.
    Did you do that before or after blurring?
    Have you alternatively tried using Content Aware Fill?

    Thanks again for the idea. I just tried it and it didn't work... sort of. iTunes is syncing the photos because I can see that it's optimizing them and syncing them without crashing. Then it says that my iPhone sync is complete and I can safely remove iPhone. But again, when I go into the Camera/Photos app nothing. When I bring up the camera and then touch the the little double square icon on the bottom left the only thing that comes up is a title at the top that says Camera Roll. Then in the middle of the screen is a big icon of a camera and the words No Photos under that. There's no way for me to go to a list of my iPhoto albums. UGH! What's up with this?

  • How to remove bullets and spacing for url links in the Related Links iview?

    I tried to look for a property that I can edit the look-n-feel of the url links in the Related Link iView using "Theme Editor".
    All I need is to remove the bullets and increase some vertical spacing between the links.
    Currently, it looks like this:
    URL iView A
    URL Iview B
    I go through the whole section of Related Links properties, none of them seems to do what I want.
    Here are the list of properties in Related Link section (of Navigation Panel):
    Link Color
    Text Decoration of Link
    Hover Color
    Text Decoration of Hovered Link
    Initially, I thought "Text Decoration of Link" should be the right property I should look at. But there are a drop-down with 5 options: None, Underline, Blinking, Overline and Line-Through, which really can't achieve what I want.
    Thanks for advice.

    Hi, Kai.
    I checked the Related iView properties (URL Template), I don't see what layoutset it is really using. I am not sure, is that a layout set apply to the Related Link Iview?
    For the regular KM iView, I will see what Layout Set I want to apply, then I can go and change the properties (of layout coontroller, collection renderer & resource renderer)you mentioned. But for this Related Link iView, I really don't know. I guess it may be in the code itself.
    If there is a layout set for Related Link iView (or the place to apply layout set to it), can you point to me which one is that? (I did a search through the layout set names, I only find the AppQuicklinkExplorer (I used this for Dynamic Nav. Link iView before), if I can aply this layout set to Related Link iView, my problem will be solved.)
    Thanks for help.

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can any guide me how to gather requirements and what r the approaches!

    HI
    Can any guide me how to gather requirements and what r the approaches and documents.
    Regards
    VSM

    Modeling approach:
    Top down - Try and find out what kind of reports the users need. Based o that you can determine your granularity of data.
    Have to find out what the sources are. Then decide if you have standard content or if you need to enhance or develop new objects.
    Try and see if standard reports are enough.
    If they ned aggregated data, decide on cubes. Then decide what all business areas the reports encompass. Based on that u can decide to build multiproviders or infosets depending on requirement.
    try to incorporate all the keyfigures  and characteristics in your data model.
    then decide how many layer ODS's you might need.
    then come up with a data model accordingly.

  • Made the switch to an mac from a PC.  I imported the files but looks like my folders are protected and i cannot access them.  Any thoughts on how to remove permissions?

    All the pictures and files that were migrated are in folders that I do not have access to on the mac now.  They imported fine, but now I cannot access them,  Any thoughts on how to get them?

    What you can do is this:
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt and paste the following line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn`
    Put a space after "-gn`" and drag the folder that has all the imported folders into the Terminal window.
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
    This should give all the files and folders the same permissions as your Home folder so you can access the data. If the folders with your files are not contained in a single folder, then create a new folder on your Desktop (COMMAND-SHIFT-N) and drag all the imported folders into this new folder.

  • How to remove folder and leaf icons from a tree

    Hi,
    I know how to remove when we have a mx component i.e.,
    <mx:Tree folderOpenIcon={null} ...../> similarly for
    closed and default leaf icon.
    But how do i achieve this from an action script like say i
    have,
    var tree:Tree = new Tree();
    tree.setFolderOpenIcon(null); ///is there something like this
    or any other alternative.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Lucky

    the folderOpenIcon is a style so you have to set it with the
    setStyle method
    try:
    tree.setStyle("folderOpenIcon",null);

  • Prong stuck in bottom of iPod... Any ideas on how to remove it??

    I bought a Belkin TuneBase FM to go along with my iPod mini about a year ago. Both items still work great, but not too long ago, I had a small problem.
    The TuneBase had little plastic stablizing prongs that fit into the two holes on the bottom of the mini. Both of them broke off as I pulled the mini off the base, and one of them got stuck in the little hole.
    I've tried to remove it using a thumb tack and pocket knife, but I'm afraid of scratching the heck out of my iPod. Has anyone else had an experience like this that they can share with me? Any tips on how to get this thing out of there?
    Thanks for reading!

    Can also use a slim set of tweezers to try to pull it out. Just be careful, so you don't damage the drive any. Hopefully, it's not already damaged by the flash card being put in.
