Do i have a virus? strange things happen.

hello everybody,
i seem to have a problem with my imac-g5. it looks like this: weird black boxes appear, that where not there before and in the apple-menue the commandos to switch off, restart and change user are double. anyone got an idea what is happening?
thanks a lot,
eddie

Hi, Eddie
no, I have no idea what it is. But here is what i would do as fast as possible:
BACK UP EVERYTHING which you want to keep!!.
Then, when i'm already at that level, I probably would try to eliminate all sources of bad behaviour:
a) what happens if you reset PRAM?
b) what happens if you reboot in "safemode"?
c) what happens if you boot from the install-cd?
If things go really wrong, consider (as an ultimate step) "ERASE adn Install", but be sure that you have everything backed-up. Then, after installing successfully and having checked that things work fine, I would reinstall one item after the other, and everytime recheck that things are still ok.
Hope this helps, and hope for yo it's not a virus.

  • I traded my iphone in and now have a new one (iPhone 5) with the same SIM.  Since, I have had some iMessages meant for someone else and some strange things happening on my phone (applications opening by themselves, calls disappearing from log). Any ideas?

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • Strange things happen: mail disappears/appears/is shown wrong

    Strange things happen: mail appears in "drafts"/mail disappears after "send"/title-content doesn't match
    I'm having some Problems with mails that get worse and worse
    First thing I remember is, that I found mails in "Drafts" that weren't drafts, but just mails I received or mails I sent.
    They were kind of aliasses of the original. Deleting them in "Drafts" deleted the original in its Mailbox too.
    Re-indexing Mail (removing the envelope.index files etc.) fixes it, but it reappears very soon
    Next thing:
    When I send an email, it happens sometimes, that it is not send (no sending sound, no copy in the "Sent"-Folder). It just "disappears"
    Re-indexing Mail fixes this: When Mail is ready with reindexing, it sends those messages (kind of funny, when I do this reindexing after some weeks... kind of...) - but it will reappear
    The third thing happens more seldom:
    When I klick on the emails name in the list, I get another Mail shown in the Previewbox. Doubleklicking the mail shows the wrong mail too.
    Re-indexing fixes this, - but it will reappear
    Well after having re-indexd my Mail library 10 times this week, I want another solution for this...
    Mail Version etc:
    Mail: Version 3.5 (930.3)
    1 Pop account,
    1 .mac account (i don't use)
    Mail, after being sent, is moved to "Sent"mail never to be deleted
    Mails Spam Filter is active (and working fine, by the way)
    about 80 Mailboxes for old Mails I got, partially nested
    More than 4000 Mails in the whole Database
    Things I've already done:
    Reindexing mail, as I already wrote (Quit mail, removing the files "Envelope Index" and "Envelope Index-1", and the folder starting with "Mac-", then start Mail again, that tells me to klick "ok" for reimporting the mail)
    I deleted a bunch of emails with attachements, so there are just a few with attachment now.
    I emptied the "Sent" folder and put those old emails in 3 Folders (each of them is containing about 500 mails now)
    Thanks for your help in advance
    PS: Yes, I want to keep all these old mails...

    This is not a security risk - a setting change you should make.
    1.     Take a look in settings - i message and see what the 'recieve at' addresses are declared.  If you do not want to see phone messages on the pad, clear that number out of there - and just use your e mail address.
    2.     Since you used to have an i phone, that device is likely still registered   go to your i tunes account and de register the device.

  • Very strange thing happening

    I developed a spreadsheet today and had a very strange thing happen while I was working in Numbers.
    Every minute or so Stuffit Expander would open and expand a file and place it on my computer. It started out as a quick flash on the screen and would be gone in an instant. I saw that it was being made by Stuffit so I opened up Stuffit and went into Prefs and told Stuffit to ask before expanding the file. This, then, stopped the process so I could see what was going on.
    A folder was make called "[file name].numbersFolder"
    Inside the folder are two files called: "buildVersionHistory.plist" and "index.xml". Along with these files is a "QuickLook" folder that has a thumbnail of the spreadsheet I am working on inside.
    The xml file is large and has several URL's embedded including the Apple developer site (http://developer.apple.com/namespaces/sfa).
    Can anyone tell me what is going on here.
    Looks fishy to me!

    If I recall, this is StuffIt expanding what it thinks is a ZIP file. It is correct, in a way, but you don't want it to do that. I do not have StuffIt so I do not know what settings it has. Hopefully it has one along the lines of "automatically unzip zip files" and you can turn it off.

  • Help! Strange things happen when I use Get Info command

    Hi, I have updated iTunes for 7.7.1, and since then a strange thing happen: whenever I pick a Smart Playlist, select a song and use the Command-I, the Get Info screen appears for a few seconds, and then the "Cancel" button is highlighted, as if I had clicked on it, and the screen is closed.
    Funny thing is that I am not clicking the "Cancel" button, but it happens automatically after a few seconds, and only with songs in the Smart Playlists. I haven't found a thing about it at the Discussion forums, can anyone help?

    In iTunes, right click on the file and Get Info.
    Make sure it is marked Remember Playback Position.

  • There is  Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

    There is  Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

    This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
    When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer.  Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
    If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance.  Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

  • Neo2+OC- Strange things happen to my mouse at teatime?

    Strange things happen to my mouse at teatime when the room heating kicks and the ambient temperature of the room increases approx 5° (system temp of 49 from 44 reported by SpeedFan).
    To compensate the fans in the Antec power supply automatically speed up as well as the case fans - which Antec also controls. When I reboot under these conditions the Logitech wireless mouse (USB Navigator) hangs in Windows XP. I can recover the mouse by removing the USB connection and reseating. This does not happen during every boot but always at teatime. Has anybody else had this effect?

    I updated bios to v1.37 and still same effect. I had a thought that the problem could show itself somehow through voltages and temperatures measured - and performed a comparison check in bios, CoreCell and SpeedFan and unleashed another problem.
    The following table shows what I got (different readings from different applications ):
    Parameter:Bios reading, CoreCenter reading, SpeedFan Reading (read following rows from left to right representing bios, CoreCenter and then SpeedFan)
    CPU temp:               44   ,            52,       49
    SYS temp:               48   ,            0,                    44    
    Vcore:                      1.53,            1.54,               1.54
    +3.3v:                      3.28,            3.28,               3.06
    +12v :                      11.79,          11.44,              12.4
    +5v :                        4.96,            4.92,               4.88
    Batt v :                    3.09,             *  ,                  0
    +5 vsb :                   5.02,            *   ,                 4.96
    The above readings in SpeedFan were from the ISA bus. SpeddFan also provided info via the SMBus as follows
    Parameter: SpeedFan reading
    -12v :                                                                -8,43
    -5v    :                                                               -2.85
    +12v    :                                                             16.10
    +5v      :                                                             6.71
    +3.3v     :                                                           4.43
    CoreA v    :                                                         3.36
    CoreB v     :                                                        3.36
    The following differences stand out +12v and +3.3v. The Antec power supoply regulates these to within 3%, so can anybody explain the above differences. Also why does SpeedFan provide completely wrong readings on the SMbus. Is my motherboard or the power supply at fault. Has anybody else seen similar?

  • Strange thing happens when smplayer use xv-intel video overlay

    i started to notice some strange thing happens when i turn on the desktop composting effect on kde,smplayer's video  show blue colors,and smplayer menu has a thick blue line surrounding it.
    whatever other windows i dragged over the smplayer show the same effect,which is very annoying. i figured it's something with the video output.
    the default video output is xv-intel video overlay,so i changed it to xv,gl,etc,and things become normal,xv-intel textured video works fine,too.
    of course if i turn off the compositing effect,everything will be ok.
    so it's because there are conflicts between the desktop effects and the xv-intel video overlay output?

  • Strange Things Happening to my iMac

    I've had some very odd things happen to my iMac over the last 3 days - does anyone recognise this pattern or have comment on the correct response.
    I've had a series of hangs, as well as incidents where the OS looses information regarding Time machine backup drive, the time machine exclusion information, spotlight gets hung indexing the drive.'
    I've noticed a pattern of error messages and report as follows, which seems to happen, sometimes sevral hours apart, other times 20 minutes apart.

    It looks like I'm getting disk IO errors that are causing processes to crash??
    Any ideas?

    Disk0 is your internal HD. 
    Try running this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test.  Run the Extended tests (that may take an hour or more, depending on how much RAM you have).  Write down any error code(s) it shows.

  • Strange things happening with fonts?!?

    Some strange things are happening with fonts. The following
    picture shows part of the problem. This is only occuring with IE 6.
    It doesn't happen in IE 7 or the current firefox. The information
    in the silver and white box is the problem. This is being pulled
    via spry and being displayed via a div tag. It shouldn't be bold
    faced. No code is telling it to bold face, yet it is.
    http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb305/silentbobsecret/fontissue.jpg

    Are you using a fade effect on it? If so, that's an IE bug,
    which has several workarounds which include setting the background
    color on whatever it is your are fading, or making sure that after
    the effect is done (via a finish function) making sure to remove
    any opacity related style on the element you just faded in.
    This sample also had that problem:

    but we used the background color trick.

  • Some strange things happened this morning.

    Hi,
    just wanted to ask if anybody expirienced comparable things in the last time:
    Yesterday i hat no /bin/shutdown, so i couldnt shutdown... it was like *gone*. So i killed my PC the hard way. Today i was booting again, and the nvidia module couldn't be loaded for some reason... so i had to remove and reinstall it. Then, my centerim was gone, totally! Reinstalled it - no problems. Whats up with me?

    / isnt full, there is like 4gb free space...
    and i made a mistake, /sbin/shutdown was there, but when i typed "shutdown -h now" it says that "shutdown" is an unknown command. (i just had that error again!). root uses bash as default shell... it didnt work in tty, it didnt work in urxvt, this time i typed /sbin/shutdown -h now and that worked... but its still not like it should be. And it doesnt explain the random corruption of packages...
    EDIT:
    Same problem with any other files out of /sbin...  the strange thing is, in /etc/profile, $PATH looks like this:
    /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/home/jan/bin:/usr/local/bin
    but echo $PATH gives me:
    ./:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

  • If you have a Facebook friend w/ your same name, strange things happen ...

    One of my Facebook friends is someone with my same name (he friended me out of curiousity, I guess). I enabled Facebook syncing in Contacts, and now some of his information appears on my card, including his job, Facebook email, URL, and Facebook IM address, and I can't get rid of it.
    There was also separate card that had only my Facebook info, not the full set on my normal card (it must have been created when I enabled Facebook syncing). I thought maybe merging the cards would force Contacts to make me pick one or the other set of Facebook info, but instead, my single card now have two sets of Facebook info for two different people. There is no way to delete or even hide the bad Facebook info.
    I could probably change my name in Facebook to my full first name, so that there would be two distinct people there, but no one uses that name and it seems overkill to make that change because Contacts isn't matching on enough fields.
    And, when one of my family calls me from home, the other guy's face appears on my iPhone screen, although that's not the image associated w/ my card in either iOS or OS X Contacts. It's odd seeing that, to say the least.
    This is in 10.8.2 and iOS 6.
    If anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

    "Facebook has absolutely nothing to do with the OSX" ...??? Really? See http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#facebook
    This *IS* a problem w/ the FB integration introduced in Mountain Lion, as it is messing up the data in OS X contacts w/ duplicate entries and uneditable fields. Also having same impact, via iCloud integration, w/ iOS Contacts.

  • Strange things happen after "pacman -Syyu"...

    Hello everyone... After upgrading a few days ago with pacman, my Arch has become a little bit strange... I change some icons in my desktop from place to place (ex, from upper right corner to left lower corner) and they stay, but when i loggof and loggin they return to their previous place, dont know why... Also, my keyboard layout is portuguese, and every time i loggoff and login it adds us keyboard layout, and it switches my layout, although it keeps portuguese as default option...weird... Cant find info about this, is it only me? My machines description...
    Asus F3S laptop; nVidia GeForce 8600m; Arch Linux(main)+Ubuntu+XP Grub boot; Gnome; TV Out enabled.

    I dont have compiz enabled, i use metacity... Tried to downgrade metacity, but its has too much dependencies, dont want to unstable my system, i'll just go along with this, its annoying but it works.
    When i first installed arch i used XFCE and loved it for is simplicity and speed. But maybe because i was a Ubuntu user, i felt that basic things were missing in Thunar and decided to switch to Gnome. Lost some speed, but nothing compared to Ubuntu, which i still think its an amazing distro, but arch as cutting edge speed...
