Google docs malware on my Mac ?

I opened one of those links to Google docs, which were malware. I know they are aimed at Windows - do I need to worry about it on my Mac?

If you're referring to this, it only affects Windows. You don't need to worry.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 will not open Google Docs on MAC OSX 10.6.6. This is extremely irritating. Is this Apples way of persuading us to use Safari?

    When I try to use '''Google Docs''' I get:
    ''Sorry, but this browser does not support web word-processing.
    Please see our system requirements page for a list of supported browsers. ''
    Another problem is that I can't open web links from '''Tweetdeck'''. Then I get the message:
    ''"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."''
    I can't use Firefox any more if this continues.

    I can't even force quit Firefox. I'm running MAC OSX10.4.11. Can't shut down computer without hard turn off on back of MAC. When I turn on again, the same frozen Firefox is on the screen. Can't escape this junk. This has happened so often that I may never use Firefox again IF I CAN EVER QUIT out of it.

  • Google Docs open in Mobile Version on Mac Air

    Every time I use Google Docs on my Mac Bk Air, it launches in the 'Mobile version'. I have to then scroll to the bottom to click on 'Desktop', then continue to next page to click on 'Continue to desktop version' to finally get to the desktop version.
    Annoying!
    Is there a way to change a setting somewhere so that Google Docs does not detect the touch-pad on my Mac Bk Air and think its a mobile devise?
    I've tried to ask in Google Groups but no answers or reply.

    On my Mac, my file settings are set this way and I can open them in Windows. See if you notice differences in your settings.
    Correct them if so, and try again.

    Were you using third-party software when the panic occurred? Is the panic repetitive or it just happened once? IN the latter case it could simply be a software glitch. But if it's repetitive then there's some other problem either hardware or software. Use the Console application in the Utilities folder and review the console log around the time of the panic to see if there are additional clues to the cause of the panic.
    The error indicates that the problem was a failure to respond to an interrupt by the CPU. Now this could simply be caused by a software glitch, but it could be a hardware problem related to the CPU. In the latter case the panic would probably become repetitive, in which case you would want to take the computer in for service to be sure the CPU isn't failing.

  • Most full featured word processor? (table editing, google docs) and webdav on the ipad

    Hi All,
    So I have had a frustrating time trying to add rows to a table in a word processing document on Google Docs. Are there any word processors that support this? Quickoffice and Documents to Go do not as of this writing. (May 26th, 2011.) at least not that I can determine.
    Does Office2HD support this feature? Do any of the word processors?
    My current thoughts/what Apple needs to do/
    Currently I am thinking about buying Pages and then using Goodreader to open the file in pages, and then saving the pages document to idisk/webdav and then moving it to google docs from idisk/webdav using Goodreader (though it appears you can use Readdledocs too.)
    According to the makers of Docsportal, if Pages supported Open With, I could Open With Docsportal and it would be uploaded. Alternatively, Docsportal could simply add idisk or webdav support, but I can understand why they are waiting for Apple to get their act together.
    Currently, I have discovered that Quickoffice does support mounting quickoffice as a drive as does goodreader. Docs2Go does not support this feature. This is a nice way to get files in and out. The Mac will support WebDAV for the Mac filesystem as of Lion allowing programs like goodreader or readdledocs to connect to it.
    --Sam

    I viewed the Office2HD Help file and it seems to support table creation.
    http://www.bytesquared.com/products/office/ipad/basic.asp?product=office2pro#ins ert_table
    I will post back once I am able to edit a table.
    Office2HD as mentioned elsewhere in this forum supports Google Docs.
    It does also support WebDAV (mounting as an external drive.) The help file mentions that it now allows you to navigate using the cursor or arrow keys.

  • Links to Google Docs not working

    Hi,
    I follow a blog which posts links to soccer results and fixtures on Google Docs. When I click on one of these links when in Safari on the Mac the document opens perfectly. When I try and link to the same document in Safari on the iPhone I get an error message instead saying "Google Docs has encountered an error".
    e.g. Try this link as an example http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddtdjkcd_478dqbcffdq
    Anyone got any ideas as to the cause of this?
    Thanks

    Google has recognized this problem, discussion here:

  • How can I eradicate this "Visual Touch" malware form my Mac OS X?

    How can I eradicate this "Visual Touch" malware form my Mac OS X on google chrome?
    I have tried everything i've seen in these forums so far, removing all extensions, manually added suggested filters & even uninstalled the entire browser and its contents on my device but still i am seeing the disgusting double underlined advertising haunting a large proportion of web pages i am visiting.
    Any help would be appreciated to finding a credible solution. Although it's advised to remove the adblock software as it is the potential cause it is unbearable surfing without it. So after trying every advised antidote i've just reinstalled it, and living with the double green line bullsh*t.
    Also i almost never use safari, just google chrome but when i went to try safari it looks like the parisite and found its way on to that browser too.
    Is there any type of malware software to search the computer which can successfully find and remove the cause of this ongoing issue? please it's insatiably irritating

  • Using Google Docs Freezes or goes grayscale and makes me restart

    I'm using a 21in iMac 3.6i5 with 8gb ram. I've had the mac for just over a month and it's frozen like 6 times in the past two days.
    It's only frozen using google docs, though it's gone grayscale and made me restart at least twice without google docs being up, I'm not sure what the issue is but I have to use google docs for work so I'd really like to get this figured out as soon as possible, anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Can't see detail on Google Docs

    Hello.  First time I haven't brought a Mac and although I am trying to be positive and realistic about the level of service I will get from the Touchsmart I must say it hasn't been a great experience so far. 
    Within a month of using it, it had to be returned to the HP shop due to bugs. It took a mamouth amount of phonecalls to get the computer fixed. 
    Still now the following issues arise, in order of importance:
    Documents are blurred in Google docs and HP say this is the software companies fault. I haven't ever experinced a hardware company passing the buck in this way neither have I had issues using standard software on a known brands device 
    The Windows home button still randomly moves to applications at its own will e.g. Skype
    Applications such as Spotify are extremely slow to load 
    Generally my productivity on basic matters is at least 50% slower 
    I'd love to return the product but HP won't allow it. Maybe someone could help with the first three points?
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
    To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
    Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
    Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
    For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.

  • Transferring emails and google docs to new account.

    I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I will give it a shot.
    I am closing out one email account and opening up another, the old is my school account and the new is a gmail account.  I have emails and google docs that I would like to keep.  Is there a way to transfer them from the old account to the new?  Thanks!  Kelly

    If you are accessing the gmail account from a client (like mac mail) archive the mailbox (mailbox>archive mailbox)

  • Can't enter minus sign in Google Docs spreadsheet

    In a Google Docs spreadsheet, I can't enter a minus sign (hyphen) in a cell until I've typed in a number, then I can go back and enter the minus sign. I think this started with Firefox 15.0, and I have replicated it on another Mac, both running OS 10.7.4.

    This is not just Mozilla problem, but same for all browsers. You can use the minus key on the numpad of your keyboard, but not the dash key. Unfortunately, if you are not using full-size keyboard, you can't easily access the numpad minus.
    I have been using this method myself on my laptop: hit any number/letter, then quickly hit backspace and then dash. This for some reason lets the dash key to enter as a minus sign.
    Graendal's way is much better, but still, I don't understand why Google decided not to allow the dash sign to be used as a minus sign.

  • Can't open attachments in google docs anymore

    Some time this past week I've stopped being able to open attachments in my Gmail with Google docs. I've restarted Firefox, restarted my computer, checked my plug ins are updated (updated Flash) but nothing makes a difference.
    When I click view it opens the Google docs tab and says loading and the page opens as if it's will finish downloading but then never finishes. The page remains blank and just says loading.
    I also no longer have the option when I click download of opening immediately, or saving. Now I can only save the file and then open it. No option to open it directly.
    I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8, Firefox 4.0

    Whats the answer please?
