Virus in safari after installing OS Lion

Shortly after installing OSX Lion, I downloaded content from three "Rorshach" sites, and now whenever I open Safari, three windows open and a dialogue box pops up in front saying I have won a free iPad. There is no way to close the pop-up, and I have to force quite Safari to use my computer. I can't uninstall and reinstall Safari, because it is part of the operating system. What should I do? I have time machine backups of my data, but not my OS.

As Kirk says, you don't have a virus.
In Lion, apps re-open whatever windows were open when they quit the next time you start them up. So, you quit Safari with those pop-ups open, so it's trying to re-open them every time you launch it again.
Why can't you close those pop-ups? All Safari windows should be closeable, and I'm not aware of any way to prevent that. Can you provide a screenshot? Use command-shift-3 (or command-shift-4 to select only a part of the screen), then upload the photo here by clicking the camera icon in the editor.

HT1926 We cannot open itunes after installing it. The licensing agreement comes up and we agree but then nothing happens. Each time we click on the itunes icon, the agreement comes up. We cannot get to itunes at all. I have followed some of the suggestion

We cannot open iTunes after installing it. When we click on the icon the licensing agreement comes up and we click Agree but then nothing happens. Each time we click the icon the agreement comes up. We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but we have the exact same problem.

Refer to steps to remove SC files here:

IMac keep shutting down after installing OSX lion

Hi,
I have a mid 2010 27 inch i5 machine and after I had installed OSX Lion last month the machine randomly shut itself down while I'm using it. At first I thought it was because of a software problem with Final Cut Pro X, since I installed that at the same time and it would shut down while I was using it. Then it start to shut down while I'm just browsing the net. Restarting is not a problem but a pain to loose unsafe data when it crashes.
Does anybody else have this problem? Again the machine was working fine before OSX Lion so I don't think it's a hardware issue. On average it would shutdown once or twice per usage day sometime a few minutes after turning on the machine, still cool, and sometime after a while, not excessively hot.
Appreciate any help and thank you in advance!

HELP! I can't install OSX Mavericks on MacBook Air

Help! I just download and install OSX Mavericks on MacBook Air (2012), its already downloaded and installed but when booted, the wheels machine on the screen keep running. its even more an hour and i restarded it for severel times. but still not working. should I wait until the installation finished? for how long? 1, 2, or 3 hours?

Then the hard drive is corrupted. You will need to erase it then reinstall:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

After installing OSX Lion, the built-in camera no longer works. Solution?

After installing OS X Lion on a late 2010 MacBookPro, the built-in camera no longer works. Worked beautifully with Snow Leopard. Reset SMU to no avail. Any solutions?

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your help with this.
Yes to both questions: iMovie is in the Applications folder, not in any subfolders. And I have reinstalled iMove from the original disc (before and after the OS reinstall) but can only get up to 7.1.4 without buying a later edition of iLife.
The camera definitely worked under Snow Leopard but not since I upgraded from SL to Mountain Lion.
Found the following on this forum:
If you have iLife '09 or older, there have been no iPhoto 8, iMovie 8 or
Garageband 5 (or older) updates relating to Lion or Mountain Lion. The
support and compatibility situations for those versions is unknown as
Apple hasn't said anything. We can only determine compatibility
anecdotally. If it turns out that there is a problem and Apple doesn't
release an update, your only recourse is to buy the latest version of
the application.
I reinstalled some other iLife apps as well. iDVD went missing after the ML reinstall. When I reinstalled it from the original disc, it wouldn't open and I had to download a manual update to get it working. iWeb previously stopped working after the upgrade to ML (all the menu options were greyed out) but when I reistalled it (together with iMove and iDVD) yesterday, it started working again.
All this seems to point to a compatibilty issue between iLife '08 and ML.

Cannot open pdf after installing Acrobat Reader XI

Installed as recommended update. Now attempts to open pdf produce the message that file "could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." What does this mean? Running Windows XP. Havve exhausted Acrobat help.

My reply was to Frederick; yours is a different problem. "I cannot open anything" is not informative enough to help you.

Also do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

After installing osx mavericks my macbook pro restarts all the time

after i installed osx mavericks my mackbook pro always restarts again and again

HT1338 After installing mountain lion, my macbook pro (2010ish) crashes every ten minutes. How can I fix this?

Title pretty much says it all. I installed Moutain Lion today and every ten minutes or so no matter what I'm doing my computer freezes up (iTunes always first) and then the entire computer freezes. What can I do to stop this?
I always have to hold down the power button to reboot, nothing else works to make it unfreeze.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
