Google Spyware Alert!

Hi there,
Over the past few days, when searching on google, instead of going to my search results, I often go to an authentication page as apparently my search resembles a spyware something or other (I searched for things like investments, so go figure)
Since I am using a powerbook, and was searching using Safari and not my Virtual PC (which I unistalled as it's crap), this begs the question: why am I getting this message?
I can think of 4 things in order of likelihood:
1. I use an ISP that restricts what I can view (Proxy, not by choice) - so maybe THEY have a problem?
2. A google mess-up
3. Some magic bug went superfly and was transferred from virtual PC (but I've had that for over a year and run ad-aware which cleaned it, and even uninstalled VPC and Windows, so why now?)
4. My mac has spyware
Any ideas?

Hi Ryan,
I was lucky in that after a few searches that did not show me the error message, I found one:
here
I was not using google.com/ig, but the google mainpage. I hope that the URL displays the same page I was looking at, where the error message is as follows (the underscores are my own):
We're sorry...
... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.
We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.
To continue searching, please type the characters you see below:

  • HT202234 Suspicious spyware alert telling me to call (877)6901356 is this legitimate? (supposedly from safari)

    The other day I clicked on a seemingly innocuous page, it was the first option when I typed in something researching for my history paper (it was something to do with slavery in brazil). Anyhow an alert came up saying spyware may be active on my computer and my personal details are in danger etc and sited my IP address.
    It told me to phone (877)6901256 and it would not close, I ended up having to restart my computer to get rid of the alert. I then googled the number and found nothing about it. Has anyone else had this before or can anyone shed any light on whether this is some sort of scam or whether it is a legitimate message from safari that there may be some malicious spyware active on my computer?
    Any help much appreciated.

    This is malware scam. Do not click on any links or call any telephone numbers. If they persist:

  • IOS Calendar - Google CalDAV Alerts Disappear

    So I'll make this brief and succint. I have daily alerts set up in my sync'd Google calendar using the native iOS Calendar.
    What happens is that I hear the noise on my device (Alert for Calendar event), but when you look at your phone or iPad, the event is gone. As some of these are daily reminders, I know what they are, so I know what I missed. I then started watching my phone during the time change. Sure enough, at the date/time of an event, I would briefly see the alert and it would disappear instantly. This is really frustrating, as at times I have other events that are not daily and those disappear too. I have to go open up the Calendar app to find out what it is. It used to be that the alert would stay up on my screen until I could dismiss/OK it.. so I didn't miss it.
    I have a single Google account that I used to add 'CalDav' sync to my iPhone and iPad.
    My Google account has 3 calendars (Personal, Family, Good Habits).
    These 3 calendars show up, and sync properly with the Calendar app. I see them in there no problem, and it updates.
    I have it set up on my iPhone (4s/iOS 6.1) and iPad 3 (iOS 6.1) the same way.
    Does anybody else have problems with their Calendar Alerts disappearing from the screen?
    For now, the only way I've found to resolve it is to use Google.com/calendar to set up important events to also send me an SMS. This way I at least get a solid notification I can't miss.
    I would really love to have the pop-up alerts work properly though. Combing the internet has not yielded help. Using other calendar apps does not help.
    Should I be using Exchange to sync my Google Calendars instead of CalDAV? As Exchange support is being dropped by Google, this is not an option.
    Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and for any help you can lend.

    I recall a couple years ago when I set it up there were limitations, I forget what they were now, to using active sync and people recommended using cardav and caldav.  I have a Google Apps for Domains account that I’m using.  At this point I see no reason to investigate further.
    Thanks again!

  • Setting google calendar alert for 1 week on ipad

    Is there any way to set alerts on Google Calendar for more than 2 days?  On a Mac you can specify minutes, hours, days and weeks but on the iPad the longest alert setting available is days....

    In the native Calendar app, no. At least not at the moment. Don't know if that will change in iOS 7, but it is possible. In the meantime, you might investigate some third party calendar apps. I'm using Calendars+, which does give you more flexibility on setting alert times spans. Integrates well with icloud and Google calendars.

    After installing updates from Windows Update, you may get into a Reboot loop where you machines gets to “configuring updates 3 of 3. x% complete” then freezes or reboots.
    Solution: 
    1a. Boot from the Windows System Repair Disc and choose the repair option in the lower left hand corner, choose System Restore, and select a Restore Point predating the attempted installation of the updates.
    1b. If you don't have the DVD and the Vista/W7 came preinstalled on the machine, boot to the Recovery Environment using F8 at the HP logo during boot, choose "repair your computer" from the list, let RE load and do a system restore from there.
    If restore fails, load the recovery environment command prompt and enter:
    Del C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml
    exit recovery environment and restart the pc, you may get 3 of 3 again but be patient, the desktop should load. Create a manual restore point and Turn off Windows  Automatic updates until you can figure out which update caused the loop.
    If you get it booting again:
    You may be infected
    Follow the order given below to disinfect your PC
    1.) On a PC that is Not infected, Make a boot AV disc then boot from the disc on the Infected PC and scan the hard drive, remove any infections it finds, I prefer the Kaspersky disc myself. The New 2010 Kaspersky disc can update the AV dat files if you are connected to the internet at the time of scan and is suggested to update before the scan.
    http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/
    2.) Then boot into Windows:
    Install free MBAM, run the program and go to the Update tab and update it, then go to the Scanner Tab and do a quick scan, select and remove anything it finds.
    http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
    3.) When MBAM is done install SAS free version, run a quick scan, remove what it automatically selects.
    http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
    These last 2 are not AV softwares like regular Anti Virus Software, they are on demand scanners that only scan for nasties when you run the program and will not interfere with your installed AV, these can be run once a day or week to ensure you are not infected. Be sure you update them before each daily-weekly scan.

  • Having Issues with High CPU Usage with fluxbox & pekwm

    Greetings,
    I have searched for this issue and it seems that something similar has happened in the past with an old xorg, and it seems that someone is having a similar issue that they can point to kde as being the culrpit. However in my case, this is a fresh install and is not using any kde libs. Please allow me to explain the issue.
    The power supply on my main computer finally gave out, and being incredibly poor at the moment I can not yet replace it. So, I pull out an older computer that I had once set up for my kids, but took it away from them when they were abusing it. I always make backup dvds and such monthly so I didn't have to worry about any lose of data, however I desired to keep my larger hard drives from my main computer. After testing to ensure that the hard drives were fine, I did some minor surgery, and did a fresh install of arch linux onto my back up computer. Since I prefer pekwm, I installed pekwm as my wm of choice, and outfitted it quickly with mpd+sonata, firefox, pcmanfm, and tint2. Then I rebooted into my pekwm 'desktop'.
    It was running sluggish. Firefox was easily maxing the cpu up and beyond 100% and it felt ten times worse than any heavy DE I used in the past. I checked to make sure I had the right video driver installed. As this computer runs a 64MB nVidia GeForce2 MX with TV out video card, I searched nvidia's page and the arch wiki, noting that the driver needed is nvidia-96xx. Well I had already suspected that during install, and thus had installed such driver. I double checked my xorg.config and it has the right driver listed.
    So I checked out some lighter browsers. I tried both Midori and Iron (which is similar to Chrome but without google spyware or whatever). Well both run better than firefox, Midori being the lightest one, but Iron quickly being my favorite. Still, the problem remained. Moving windows caused cpu spikes, opening more than one tab, or more than one program caused cpu spikes and the computer to slow down and sputter, freezing at times.
    So I tried out another wm, fluxbos, which is another of my favorites. Seemed somewhat better but only fractionally, which I consider odd because pekwm has always seemed snappier than fluxbox to me in the past. Running lxtask (still mouse dependent, sorry lol), I was able to take note of the following...
    FLUXBOX
    lxtask 6% CPU usage average
    PCManFM 5% CPU Average
    Fluxbox 1% to 2% cpu usage
    gksu 3% cpu usage
    pidgin 3% to 7% cpu usage
    firefox up to 62% cpu usage
    midori up to 38% cpu usage
    iron up to 50% cpu usage
    mpd 11% cpu uage
    Xorg (with no window movement) 2% cpu usage
    Xorg (moving windows around) up to 80% cpu usage
    PEKWM
    lxtask 6% CPU
    pidgin 7% cpu
    tint2 1% cpu
    pekwm 1% to 5% cpu
    pcmanfm 7% cpu
    firefox up to 85% cpu
    python 1% cpu
    midori up to 38% cpu
    iron up to 25% cpu (odd...)
    Xorg (with no window movement) 1% cpu
    Xorg (when moving windows around) up to 80% cpu
    Both were using around 118 MB RAm and weren't yet touching swap. As I see it I am  thinking xorg  or video driver related, yet I already made sure that I had the correct video driver. Here's my Xorg.conf

    So what I am wanting help with is finding the solution to the cpu usage so that I can use this computer at least until I can afford a new power supply or whatever. I am open to any good suggestions, though I must state I am not really interested in tiling wm's at the moment. I am just not a true minimalist.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help. I understand that there is a lot of info in this post, but it is my hope that with this info the problem can be solved. If there is info I didn't provide that is needed, please let me know.

    also check that you have
    session.screen0.opaqueMove false
    in your .fluxbox/init  this will probably help a bit if it is currently true,

  • How do I get the body of messages to display in lower right section of Thunderbird screen again? I accidentally turned it off with some key strokes, I think.

    My opening screen in Thunderbird (v 31.2.0) is normally set to show folders list in left column, Google calendar alerts in right column, received messages in the top half of the center column with the first few lines of the messages displayed in the lower half of the center column. While typing in the dark this morning, I evidently didn't type "CTRL+N" to bring up new message because immediately the lower display no longer showed. I don't see any options to change in the menus. I tried typing a few combinations to no avail and can find no how-to-fix-this articles with a few different searches. I know this has to be something simple to fix. I appreciate help in figuring out where I went wrong. Thanks.

    Sorry, Airmail. This didn't address the issue of not showing the first few lines of the highlighted message that disappeared. F8 DOES toggle the list of messages in the top half from longer to half pane but it doesn't show list of messages in top and the first few lines of the message highlighted in the top down on the bottom of the pane. The View menu in, v 31.2.0 anyway, doesn't offer a layout of message option. I went through menu options again and didn't find anything else that would offer this option.
    Oddly enough, the page displays normally in the Sent, Saved & Draft mail so evidently this only affected the Inbox. The search continues....

  • Apple mail not displaying properly

    My first time in this forum.  Hopefully, you can help.  I am having a problem in Apple Mail in Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.
    Some e-mails from the same sender appear fine with images and links properly displayed, yet other times I only see text with underlined links.  For example, I receive promotional e-mails from Land's End (a retailer in the U.S.) with images of the items.  Some e-mails display perfectly and others are as below in the cut and paste.  (I have noticed the problem frequently with Google news alerts.)
    Any idea of what settings I should change?  I am very confused because some mails arrive fine, and others are like below.
    P.S.  I am a new user of iMac, so please be patient if I do not understand well your instructions.

    Thanks for your suggestion.  I do not think your proposed solution will work for me.
    1) In my desperation, I erased my hard drive and even reformatted it (with the help of Apple Care).  I then opened Apple Mail with a completely clear hard drive and system.  The problem still occurred.  For that reason, I do not think it is the INBOX.mbox file that caused the problem.
    2) My iMac that is less than a month old is now in the repair shop.  It apparently has a faulty logic board and USB port.  Hopefully, the Apple Mail will work after those parts are replaced.

  • How do I stop Quicktime from placing itself in my system registry...

    I do not want QT loaded all the time. It places itself in my startup programs and modifies my registry, two things that I do not want it to do.
    How do I stop this program from sneaking into areas of my system that I don't want it to?

    Yes, I know how to remove it.
    What I'm saying is that it RE-loads itself constantly. This is not a bug or an error. In other words the program is designed so that it does this whether you want it to or not. I get a Microsoft Spyware Alert that informs me that Quicktime has once again hijacked my computer and has placed itself in my active programs, has modified my registry, has added itself to my system tray, and has added itself to my list of startup programs. None of these things are needed or desired. This is assinine, since I rarely use the program and don't need it eating up computer resources so it can sit in my system doing nothing. Once this "feature" has have to go in and remove it from all these places.
    So short of simply getting one of the many Quicktime alternatives is there a way to keep this program from invading my system?
    Thanks for any assistance offered.

  • How do I stop QuickTime from running my photos too?

    I downloaded QuickTime to play video, but it's running my Photos files too, and I can't find any Options Menu to stop it doing that!
    Please help.

  • Insert javascript into folio problem

    Hi,
    I've tried to add some HTML code to rectangle object in Indesign (Object/Insert HTML):
    <script type="text/javascript">
        window.location = 'http://www.google.com/';
        alert("This is  Page");
    </script>
    then trying to see the result in Content Viewer -- but neither redirection nor alert message occurs.
    Could anyone tell me should I write full HTML code (<html> <head>...) to see the result?
    Where I'm wrong?
    Thanks

    Do you have several accounts?
    See this thread, it's the same question:

    What you are saying makes great sense. It's just the mechanics behind what you've said that I'm unclear about.
    <p>
    Are you saying to create another button within the same region with the same attributes/position, so they overlay each other? Then set the conditions on both buttons?
    <p>
    If I understand the above correctly, then how do I set the conditions? I guess I'm asking where do I place the SQL statement and how does the results relate to the button conditions?
    <p>
    Thanks for the help,
    David

  • Is there such a thing as good money management software for the Mac?

    Hi, I'm looking for good money management software. I've got Quicken on my PC laptop, but the laptop is old, and I want to switch over to managing my checking account on my iMac. I don't need much, just to be able to track my bank accounts, reconcile them, and look at my cash flow.
    I've looked at Quicken Essentials, but it's laughable, and the reviews on Amazon are horrendous (no surprise - Intuit is not known for the quality of their products, and they don't seem to care much). I've got Quickbooks for my business (not a fan, but I didn't have a choice), but don't want to track my personal accounts there as well.
    Does anyone have a program that they use and like? I've also got an iPhone4, so it would be nice (but not a deal-breaker) if it had an app for it as well.
    Thanks,
    Sue
