Has anyone heard of the trojan virus that's affecting the java?

I'm curious, has anyone heard of the recent trojan virus that's supposed to affect the java?

Do you mean flashback?

  • Has anyone heard of having a virus on your network that prevents the uninstallation and installation of iTunes??

    Has anyone heard of a virus on a network that prevents the uninstallation and installation of iTunes thereby preventing use of any apple product such as iPhone and iPod classic?

    To Turing test 2
    Here is the exact wording - I took pictures with iPhone but cannot download them.
    'The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile devices was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes try to repair this for you?' Yes
    'The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile devices could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices' OK
    'The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324'
    Then the loading bar moves backwards.
    The weird thing is this happens on my Dell laptop which only last week was wiped and everything rebooted and reinstalled. This PC problem was happening though before the laptop problem.........

  • Has anyone heard of MetaData.B virus or worm???

    Just received a message from my Intego virus software a warning that reads as follows:
    "HPExifCopy" was infected by 'OSX.Exploit.MetaData.B'
    I have tried to find info on this on every site I could think of but came up with nothing.
    if any one knows what this is and how I should react to it (according to Intego software it was repaired!!! but since I can not find anything on it at Intego I am concerned!!)
    Thanks

    It is weird that symantec has not picked on this:

    Is Intego our saviour? Who knows... maybe after all we are not worthy...
    Lets put things into perspective:
    Are macs safer as viri are concerned?
    Yes
    Will they remain safer till the end of time?
    No
    Is it as easy as for a mac as it is for a windows box to be infected by a virus?
    No, due to the solid unix foundations and security levels that exist within X (free BSD core that is).
    Is it easy to author a virus for OS X?
    Frustrating as far as I was told by programmers (who do not write viri but legit programs)
    Should mac users be complacent?
    Definitely not. Better be safe than sorry. If and when macs become more popular, especially in business environments then the platform will attract the attention of all those scum-bags who write viri. Lets be ready for them.
    What p**s me off is the theory behind announcements like that from intego, a zip file that when decompressed will execute whatever script in bla bla invisible folder. Excuse me intego, what script exactly is that? Any virus that has been identified as such performs certain tasks: compromises firewalls and security, steals addresses and so on. That particular one just execute the "unknown" to all script and only "us" can stop this from happenning... My arse...
    On the other hand maybe OSX.Exploit.MetaData.B is a beautiful example of a proof of concept. The gist? Don't worry that much. There no known viri for x to date but do not become complacent either. Things can change.
    Enjoy.

  • "Don't load tabs until selected" ... Where is the setting so that it affects the tabs when I click "Open all in tabs" from History?

    I am trying to reload all the tabs from history, it's a couple thousand. I am not concerned about system RAM I have 16GB. I know it will be slow, I'm not looking for any warnings or questions about why I have to reload that many tabs or how to work with the restore.bak sessionstore files.
    The question I need an answer to is, "What setting do I need to change so that when I reload multiple tabs, it doesn't say "connecting" on all of them even though I have already selected "Don't load tabs until selected"

    I think we both understand what you want. And we're both saying we are not aware of any built-in way to do this.

  • I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV.  Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to stream a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV
    Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Has anyone heard definitely that Apple has stopped supporting anything but IOS 7 for FaceTime?

    Has anyone heard definitely that Apple has stopped supporting anything but IOS 7 for FaceTime?

    No such announcement has been made.
    From the various posts on the forums, it seems users on various devices and versions of iOS are having issues, even those with iOS 7.

  • Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!!

    Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!!  I don't think the phone is fit for purpose as any other phone i've had has been dropped and been fine and surely they expect a mobile to be accidentally dropped at least once!!

    Yeah, sad to hear of your accident:
    If you dropped it on concrete- that is the hardest material and chance of damage goes up tremedously.  Actually you are fortunate not to have mobile insurance because then you have to trust your insurance provider to provide you with a quality replacement or repair.
    Apple is always spot-on you know what you're getting.  They can always attempt to replace JUST the display on an iPhone 5 for $149 + tax is what I've heard them quote others. But they said it's $229 to replace your phone with another whole new iPhone 5.  Get the AppleCare+ because two of these incidents will only cost you $49 + tax in the future!

  • 01/06/12 I am waiting to have movies in the cloud. Has anyone heard anything??

    I have bought a lot of movies from Itunes and lost them when I had to reinstall Windows 7. I did not take the time to make a backup and I am hoping Apple will put movies on the cloud. Has anyone heard any recent news about this and doesn't Apple realize that people would buy more movies if they didn't have to worry about losing them??

    First of all - if anybody did know - they could not discuss it on this site since I'm pretty sure they would be violating a non disclosure agreement with Apple - if somebody actually knew. Any other knowledge would just be rumored or speculation and that is also prohibited on this site.
    Not being able to redownload purchased movies has nothing to do with Apple not wanting to offer the feature. I'm pretty sure that It has to do with the movie studios not wanting to grant the rights to download the movies again at no cost. It really is a decision that must be made/approved by the movie studios.

  • Has anyone heard of the ucs blades crashing, like all of them, when/if you put esxi 5.5 into LACP?

    our VM guy here was trying to use LACP to solve an issue with ESXi and vmotion. He was on the phone with vmware and when it came down to putting the one blade he was working on in LACP the vm ware tech said that he would not do it because it would crash all the blades? has anyone heard, read or seen this? we are using ucsm 2.1.3.

    ok, i talked to our vm guy some more and got some clarity. he stated that the vm ware techs told him that when they activate the LACP on vsphere 5.5 that it will drop all the hosts on the blade (much clearer than all the blades as i stated before). 
    so what we are looking for is 1. proof of this statement. 2. if true, is there another option available that does not include dropping of the hosts? the documents from vmware say at the bottom minimal network disruption, so what is the delta for that? my idea of minimal disruption is no loss of hosts and a few lost packets. 
    im good with a bit of spotty network connectivity while the system converges after a change but i wont complain if it does not drop anything.

  • HT1338 what about the problems with the trojan virus is that a problem for my mac as well?

    What about the problems with the Trojan virus will this be a problem also for me using Mac

    What Trojan?
    If you're referring to the DNS Changer Trojan, it's highly unlikely you're affected. The actual distribution of the trojan was stopped several years ago and the perpertrators jailed.
    The FBI has been maintaining the servers used by the trojan for the last 5 years in order to give affected systems time to be purged. They will finally shut them down on Monday.
    Ensure that your router and the Mac's network settings are set for the DNS addresses of your ISP, or if you're not sure what they should be, change them to Open DNS using the IP addresses;

  • ITunes no longer loads after updating to Windows 8.1.  I have tried every corrective step I've found on the web (reinstall, copy files, change permissions, etc.) nothing helps.  Has anyone heard if Apple is working on fix?

    Itunes does not launch after updating to Windows 8.1.  I've tried every suggestion I can find on web (reinstall, copy files from other directories, change permissions, etc.).  Nothing works.  At best I can get the licensing agreement to show and then nothing.  Has anyone heard if a fix is in the works?

    i left my ipod in the car to charge on my car charger and it wasn't very hot last night but when i tried to listen to it this morning my ipod would only give me a white screen and it was warped into a v and the screen on the inside looked shattered but the outside plastic was fine...has anyone heard of the ipod nano doing this?

  • Is the Trojan virus a scam?

    My husband is getting a pop up on his iphone 4 saying he has the Trojan virus. I read that it is impossible if the phone hasn't been jailbroken. I can't find any straight answers on anything can anyone help me?

    Thank you everyone for your help. His phone ain't as slow anymore and we are glad we don't have to worry about a virus. Just one more question if he keeps getting that pop up about the virus is there a way to get rid of it or do we just have to clear everything again?
