Do I need to run anti-viral program after trying to open a spam attachment?

I was tricked by a spam email and clicked on a link, which did not open. I've been advised to delete the email (done), change my password (done), and run anti-viral program (not done, and never have). What, if anything, should I do?

You don't need to run antivirus software after that. Just be more careful in the future.

Need to run 2 concurrent programs after completing child concurrent program

Hi,
Could you suggest me on below:
R12/ 11g
I have main concurrent program MAIN_CONC_PG.
In this concurrent program there is a child concurrent program CHLD_CONC_PG.
This child concurrent program will run for parameters 1,2,3,4,5.
CHLD_CONC_PG program will run simultaneously 5 times:
CHLD_CONC_PG ==> 1
CHLD_CONC_PG ==> 2
CHLD_CONC_PG ==> 3
CHLD_CONC_PG ==> 4
CHLD_CONC_PG ==> 5
Now, after completion of above 5 Child Concurrent programs i have to start 2 more concurrent programs using fnd_request.submit_request:
1) Item Attributes
2) Vendor populate
Thanks.

I should be using FND_CONCURRENT.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST.
any sample code that uses FND_CONCURRENT.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST ??

I need to run multiple external programs concurrently using RMI objects.

have a web based solutiion which uses a backend machine for some processing. I have a RMI based Java proram running on the backend machine and the web server talks with this backend machine through RMI. Now, on this backend machine, I need to call some external program using Process s = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(....). Since this is a web application, multiple clients will connect at the same time and I need to run this external program for multiple clients at the same time.
Here is what I do. I have a separate RMI object bound to registry for each client that connects to the web server. This RMI object implements runnable interface, since I can't extend this class from Thread (it already extends from UnicastRemoteObject). So each time I call upon a method from this object, only one process gets started and other objects need to wait till this process finishes.
I need to start multiple processes at the sametime so that other clients don't have to wait for this thread to finish.
Please let me know if anybody has any other solution than installing an application server on this backend machine.
Here is my code.
public class iLinkOnlineSession extends UnicastRemoteObject implements Session, Serializable, Runnable
public iLinkOnlineSession(String sessName, String sessId, String rootLogs, String rootWrks) throws RemoteException
    setSessionId(sessId);
    setName(sessName);
    ROOT_LOGS = rootLogs;
    ROOT_WORKSPACE = rootWrks;
    searchKeys_ = new Vector();
    searchObjects_ = new Hashtable();
    Thread s = new Thread(this);
    s.start();
public void run()
    System.out.println("running");
public String checkLogin(String user, String passwd)
    String msg = "";
    String cmd = "iLinkOnlineLogin";
    cmd += " param "+ user + " param " + passwd;
    System.out.println("cmd: " + cmd);
    try
      Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process proc = run.exec(cmd);           // Call to the external program.
      InputStream in = proc.getInputStream();
      Reader inp = new InputStreamReader(in);
      BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(inp);
      String line = rd.readLine();
      while(line != null)
        System.out.println(line);
        msg += line;
        line = rd.readLine();
      int res = proc.waitFor();
    }catch(Exception e)
         e.printStackTrace();
    System.out.println("Msg: " + msg);
    return msg;
public String searchObject(String user, String passwd, String param1, String paramVal1, String param2, String paramVal2, String param3, String paramVal3, String relLev, String mfgLoc)
    String cmd = "iLinkOnlineSearch";
    cmd += " param " + user + " param " + passwd + " param " + getSessionId() + " param " + logFile_ + " param " + param1 + " param " + paramVal1 +
          " param " + param2 + " param " + paramVal2 + " param " + param3 + " param " + paramVal3 + " param "
          + relLev + " param " + mfgLoc;
    System.out.println("cmd: " + cmd);
    try
      Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process proc = run.exec(cmd);                // External program.
      InputStream in = proc.getInputStream();
      Reader inp = new InputStreamReader(in);
      BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(inp);
      FileWriter out = new FileWriter(resultFile_);
      System.out.println("Filename: "+resultFile_);
      BufferedWriter wout = new BufferedWriter(out);
      String line = rd.readLine();
       while(line != null)
        System.out.println(line);
        wout.write(line);
        wout.newLine();
        wout.flush();
        line = rd.readLine();
      int res = proc.waitFor();
      wout.close();
      if(res == 0)
        boolean ret = createResultTable();
        if(ret == true)
          return GlobalConstants.SUCCESS_MSG;
        else
          return GlobalConstants.ERROR_MSG;
    }catch(Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();

I guess I don't get it.
RMI servers are inherently multi-threaded, so why are you running separate servers for every client?

What does the product developer say about system requirements? If it needs to be run from within Internet Explorer then you'll need to find a way to run Internet Explorer. Boot Camp or VM installation of Windows would be two options.
But first check the product requirements.

When I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.

Do I need to run a malware scan after removing uTorrent?

I know this is a dumb question, but I don't know of any malware scan sites for Mac that I trust. I'm using Mavericks and my OS is up-to-date. Do I need to run a malware scan after uninstalling uTorrent? If so, where would I get one I can trust?
Here is my scenario - On a recommendation (which I no longer trust) I installed uTorrent, as I wanted to download a file that was only available in torrent form. (This file is a legally available file, so I would not be violating copyright.)
What made me worry was the when I downloaded uTorrent, it installed without asking me to enter my admin password. This raised a red flag for me. So I immediately uninstalled uTorrent, by moving the Application to trash.
So, now that I have it uninstalled, is there a danger it may have left unwanted files on my Mac?
I don't see any evidence of unwanted files. Just wondering. Am I worrying for nothing?

There aren't any. It is not possible to scan one's computer from a web-site, they are all scams. All or most of the Windows sites are, as well.

Many applications can be installed without the need for an admin password since they don't need to install files in any common or system locations. As long as everything goes into the Applications folder and your user folder, you should never need admin permissions.
uTorrent itself is a perfectly legit application that can be used for illegal activities, like all BitTorrent apps. I'm sure it comes with an Apple developer ID signature and under normal circumstances should not be able to harm your OS X or it's applications. But to some extent it depends on where you obtained the app itself. Any app you obtain from AppStore, a legit developer site or MacUpdate should be just fine. If you got it from C|Net's download.com or Softonic then it may have come with an installer that will also install annoying adware. It would have notified you that it was being installed (and again, no admin password is required), but a large majority of users never read those dialogs and blindly click through them to get their app installed and in use as soon as possible. If you think the latter is a possibility, then the Adware Removal Guide that Carolyn tipped you to has a Adware Removal Tool that should make quick work of anything like that.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

InDesign CS3 program will not open - Win XP - after trying to open corrupt file.

Help! the program Adobe InDesign will not open up anymore.
Here is the story and what I have tried. One week on the 16th my server crashed two of the three hard drives failed (RAID) I had the two replaced. Since then all seamed to be ok but few of files were missing and some that I tried to open would crash InDesign I assume that the files got corrupt from the HD's going bad. Server kept telling me to run CHKDSK utility. I ran it and and some of the files reappeared. Today, thinking that the Chkdsk utility had fixed the bad files I tried to open one of the files that caused InDesign to crash and it crashed again.
Now I cannot open InDesign at all when I try to launch InDesign within 3-4 seconds Adobe will crash! Reboot and try again same thing.
I tried to delete the files in the Recovery folder thinking it was trying to open the corrupted file that it last tried to open. Same thing.
I moved the preference folder to the desk top thinking that it might have been causing the problem - no change.
I reinstalled InDesign over top of the existing program (did not uninstall first) rebooted and tried to launch - no change.
I tried system restore, None of my restore points that I have tried (auto restore points) will restore my system for what ever reason.
Please Help with any suggestions I need this fixed soon.

Installing CS3 was a pain, and the installer is very sensitive to conflict with just about everything under the sun, so you need to run it in a bare-bones boot (but not safe mode). I turn off ALL non essential programs and services using MSConfig when doing a CS3 install.
That said, yes, running the CS3 clean script will probably remove all things Adobe from the system. The Microsoft utility is much more benign than the description makes it sound -- it removes registry information for previous installations so there is no trace of them to confuse the OS. I'm not aware that it has removed anything other than what it was told to remove, but I've only had to use it once, I think.
You can try a simple uninstall/reinstall first (and you should be able to remove and reinstall just ID from the suite if you use the original disks). That will certainly be faster and less painful than the clean script, but may not work. Seems odd that a serrver crash should have corrupted a local installation, though, so you might want to take a close look at the machine for other problems, perhaps some sort of malware invasion.

Error Messages saying that Firefox, as well as other programs when trying to open them, have been marked for deletion"?

I know this probably is more of a Windows problem, but I can't figure out that site for the life of me, so I'm asking my question here.
So I went to use a program called Combo Fix to check for any viruses and all that. It worked fine and I restarted my computer just in case I needed to. Then when I went to open Firefox, an error message came up saying something like "Illegal Operation Attempted on registry key marked for deletion." I then tried to open another program that I've had for a few years now that runs perfectly (MikuMikuDance aka MMD). It did the same. I went to open Microsoft Word and I still got the error message.
I have no idea how I should fix this. I'm currently typing this in Safe Mode because its the only way I could get online again to search for solutions.

By the way, the fact that the error does not occur in Safe Mode is interesting, as in normal mode Firefox may be checking the registry key related to Firefox extensions at startup. And that key would be a logical target for deletion of any references to malware. However, I've never seen a specific list of registry read/writes for Firefox startup, so that's just a guess.

I need to run a Windows program on MacAir! HELP!

I have a Macbook Air. I host a bowling tournament every year but the software I use doens't have a MAC version. I'm told I can download some software that lets me use a Windows program on my Mac.
Any suggestions on what to use?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Need to run "udevadm trigger" again after startx

I rearranged some keyboard modifiers according to instructions found here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … etkeycodes
Everything works except that when I start X11 (with startx), then I have to run "udevadm trigger" again to get the new modifiers working. This is the case for both my laptop and USB keyboards.
Any ideas?

Hi Neha.
Thanks for quik turn around. But I need this z program to run after all changes are done in XK02 because I need to use the changed vendor data in the BDC program. This is the exit which triggers before save, so I couldn't get the changed vendor data from database table to use in z program (BDC).
Hope I am clear.

Do you always need to run enable-cstopology/bootstrapper after update?

If I look at the instructions for the January updates:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2809243/
I can see that it says you have to run "Install-csdatabase". But as far as I can see you dont need to that because the database are already at the correct level.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2013/07/02/how-to-verify-if-lync-server-2013-database-updates-completed-successfully.aspx
My question is if the last part about mobility and running bootstrapper is also redundant since I already have mobility enabled?
I guess the information is there since it is a cumulativeupdate so if you have not installed any of the previous updates you have to run both the database update and enable the mobility service?

At the beginning of the KB article it does say which steps have to be run depending on the current version of Lync Server.
"To install updates for a Lync Server 2013 installation that has the July 2013 cumulative update (5.0.8308.420) or a later update installed,
you must perform the following step 1.
To install updates for a Lync Server 2013 installation that has the February 2013 cumulative updates (5.0.8308.291) installed, you must perform
the following steps 1 and 2.
To install updates for Lync Server 2013 RTM (5.0.8308.0) you must perform the following steps 1-5."
Step 1: Install CU
Step 2: Back end database updates
Step 3: CMS database update
Step 4: Enable Mobility service
Step 5: Enable UCWA
