Downloading a specific file installs a keylogger not detected by virus checker

I recently downloaded "Optifine" for Minecraft from www.minecraftmine.org, and since then, every time I tried to log into any website, a window popped up asking me to enter my "password for the security software" - I thought this was due to me recently uprating my security settings in my virus checker (Trend Micro Titanium Maximum). The download was "powered by iLivid" and wanted to install a load of junk on my PC - I declined them all.
However, since then I found my profile got deleted from the forum I run, along with a few other member profiles, plus I've been unable to log into a few other websites I use as they say my password is invalid. Therefore I believe this iLivid install program is installing a key logger in Firefox (the security password box does not pop up in any other browser I have installed - I use them for testing my websites, but Firefox is my default browser).
I ran a full system scan using my virus checker, with nothing found apart from a few dodgy cookies, which were deleted. But the pop-up password box still persists in Firefox. The only way I removed it was to completely uninstall Firefox including all saves sites and preferences, and then re-installing Firefox (and now it's not asking me to enter my password anymore - even on sites I haven't visited in ages).
I'm now having to go through ALL my accounts to change their passwords (just to be on the safe side).
I will also be reporting this to Trend Micro, but as of yet they still don't have a compatible toolbar for Firefox :-(

Hi there
I am glad you managed to resolve your issue. For future reference, you might want to take a look at this page: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware|Firefox issues caused by malware]] . It is also recommended to always download and install the latest security updates for optimum protection.

Windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

Strange issue - XI somtimes process a file and sometimes its not detected

Dear friends,
We have a strange problem. Ill describe the situation:
We have a simple file to file scenario without any mapping or File Content Conversion. Daily a sender system puts a ZIP file on a server and XI processes this file.
The strange thing is that XI sometimes processes this file and sometimes its not detected at all. After our analysis we come to conclusion that its not random.
We have looked at almost everything. We have checked the:
File name;
Size of the messages.
Authorisation;
Users that are assigned to the processing job.
Has anyone experienced the same problem or does anyone has a suggestion?
Helpful points will be rewarded,
Kind regards,
Kamran

Hi Mickael,
There are no stupid questions, there are only stupid answers. So I hope my answers are not stupid
1. what is your Polling Interval of your Sender Agreement ? Once a day ? every 60s ? etc...
because you say that your Legacy put the file Daily.
Answer: The polling Interval is 400 seconds and Modification Check is 400000 Msecs
2. Are you sure that your Legacy does not put the file after or during the XI adapter try to catch it?
Answer: No Because Modification Check works perfectly and we get alerts if the file is modify during the process.
3. Does your filename is always the same ?
4. or Have you a filename which can changed and which is case sensitve (lowercase and uppercase).
Answer: It has always the same name and It starts with O2C.zip
5. What are the size of your failed file?
Maybe it's too big and maybe you have a timeout somewhere (for instance into the adapter log)
Answer: It's not too big, it varies from 20 MB to 100 MB and we know that we can process files up to 700 MB
As I told before we have checked everything. Its very strange...
Do you have any other suggestion?
Regards,
Kamran

Since updating to Firefox 3.6.15, I can no longer print coupons from SmartSource. The error message is that Java is not detected. The check box is longer showing in the Options/Content of this version of Firefox, so I can not enable it.

I downloaded pages, completed file sharing but can not open the documents on my ipad

I have pages on my ipad2, I went through the file sharing instructions for 2 files. I can not open them in pages. When I go to Documents, copy from itunes, the files show but cannot be selected.

Quit Pages and restart the iPad and try again.

Make sure that they are compatilbe file extensions on the files or they will not open ... .doc, .docx, .pages

Re: Canon IXUS V installation - Camera connection not detected

I have installed this driver from the Cannon website but when I connect the camera I get a message saying " Camera connection not detected" followed by an error message saying pscN109 has stopped working.
Then a Microsoft message saying no soloution found. Can anyone help me?

The reason I posted it on the Toshiba forum is that whilst I have downloaded the correct driver for Vista but there is a compatibilty issue between it and Vista. Microsoft don't want to know as the Vista was supplied with the computer so they said contact the computer manufacturer

Since the installation of Firefox 8, I cannot download a specific file type from email. I use this for work and MUST be able to open these files with a specific software. When FF opens the file, it changes the extension and it will not open. Help!!!

I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work email. I receive files with a .RXML extension. This has always worked just fine until the latest version of Firefox came out (I was using FF 7 until this weekend). Now FF changes the extension to .ashx when I open the file and I cannot download it into my software. If I go to the company internet site and download directly from there, it does the same thing. But I can open these files just fine from IE. I REALLY don't want to have to go back to IE.

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

How to find a specific file ? OR, Zen not finding virtual XP in Win7

1. there's an option in zen10 to check for systems with virtual
machines, though we end up with zero hits even though we DO have
approx 20 PC's with virtual XP mode running on Win7/64
2. So,,second option would be to FIND any machines that DO have this
file; vmwindow.exe
But,, I just can't make out how/were to make this "custom" search.....

Man,, is it zenworks that's (again) trying to get me ..??
Ok,, just tested the option to do a inventory scan, full scan for
software files....BUT,, the file I want Zenworks to recoqnize;
vmwindow.exe, simply doesn't show up ..??
It's not exluded as far as I can tell from the inventory defintion's,
still, it's just not there when checking the report.
I know the file is there, I can see it both through explorer and
through a command prompt....
(vmwindow.exe = virtual XP in Win7)

Very slow download of single file on FF, but not on IE.

FF 18.0 on Win7 64-bit
Norton 360
Slow file (java 7u11 for win 64): http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=73143
Size: 31 MB
Connection: 30 mbps fiber
How can I troubleshoot and resolve the slow FF18 issue?

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
*browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Embedded fonts are not detected by Designer

I am trying to create a fillable pdf based from a form created in Adobe Framemaker. However, the fonts I have embedded in the .pdf source file from FrameMaker are not detected by Livecycle Designer. These include very common fonts like Helvetica and Times. Is there a setting somewhere in Designer to pick up on these embedded fonts?

Thank you for your feedback. The Job im using is simple take a word document converting it into a pdf format. If this is done I will see it in my Acrobat view. There is no fonts at all. The System is notifying me that the font "ETBFGYI+DIN-Regular" are not embedded. And there will be some character not shown or printed correctly. I didn't change anything on the setting of Acrobat. I'm using this Acrobat almost for 2 years and I never had any problem. The Problem came up after the last update of the software to version 11.01.10.

User Library Taglibs Not Detected

It seems that NitroX only detects jarred tag libraries if they are in the lib folder. I have, for instance, an Eclipse user library setup that includes the JSTL jar files. NitroX does not detect the JSTL taglibs, even though my deployed application works just fine. If, however, I copy the same jar files into the lib folder then suddenly NitroX detects them.
Is this a bug?
Thanks.

Sorry about the incomplete information.
We just released NitroX version 3.0 M1 (stable milestone build 463) which supports taglibs imported using "External JARs / Add Variable / Add (user) Library" method.
Use any of this method(s) to include the external taglib jar file(s) and then follow below steps:
- Close & reopen the project
Note: By default tag libraries imported from external location do not list in the Tag Libraries view
- The "Tag Libraries view" displays the respective tags that are defined using taglib definition
Ex: <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/datetime" prefix="dt" %>
