  • How can I check for viruses and malware on my MacBook Pro?

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X (10.7.5).  I don't have any anti-virus or malware software installed.  My yahoo email account was hacked last night, after I had added the account to Mail on my mac (which obviously involved typing in my email account password).  I'm now worried that I might have a virus or malwre on my computer as I've had that email account for years with the same password (foolish I know) and never had a problem.
    Is there a way to check if my mac has any viruses or malware?  Which anti-virus/malware software should I install to protect my mac?
    Thanks.

    Ever hear of this?  I was using Mozilla, and now I'm scared, so on Safari.  Even so, I'm worried about doing online banking until I know what's up.  Despite that, I did online banking on Safari today, and the pages wouldn't load, or weren't clickable.  Also, I'm getting blank screens on Safari.  It all started after this happened a number of days ago, so I want to do a scan…. but newish to the Apple world, so don't want to screw things up even more (potentially) - by installing some incompatible malware scanner. From the other day:
    has anyone's Macbook Pro ever been hacked? I was using Mozilla, just opened a twitter acct, was trying to cross link with G+, and all of a sudden all this weird stuff was happening: url bars erasing on its own (and fast), pages jumping from window to window, 2 unread msgs in Gmail later marked as read. I shut down and restarted. I don't know if it's a key stroke I did or if I may've been hacked. worried.

    See my Mac Malware Guide for a complete answer to that question.
    I notice that you posted this in reply to an earlier (and unanswered) concern you had about your webcam, but I don't really understand what that concern is. If you could clearly describe whatever problem you're having, rather than assuming it's due to a virus, we'll be able to help you more effectively.

    how can I check for VSearch trojan? And then remove it if found?

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

  • Is there a program that will check for viruses or other reasons why it runs slow?

    For several months my iMac has been running slow or freezing often. Safari often quits unexpectedly as does mail on occasion.

    Programs that check for viruses are a major cause of slow Macs, so let's look at doing steps that don't handicap your computer:
    1) How full is your hard drive? You need a minimum of 10G free for background processes such as Virtual Memory.
    2) How much RAM is installed? RAM for the Mid-2010s is rather cheap at the moment, I upgraded my 27-inch Mid-2010 recently from the original 4GB to 12 GB for about US$55. Installation took only minutes.
    3) If you have an external hard drive for backups, are you using something other than Time Machine to do the backups. Many third-party backup programs can cause a performance hit.
    The next step is a little longer. It checks to see if some runaway background process is eating processor cycles and slowing you down:
    1) Use your computer normally for typical tasks for several hours, then quit any applications you have launched. Do not restart.
    2) In Applications > Utilities, find Activity Monitor. If you've not used it before, you have to change a setting. At the top of the AM window is a "Show" option. By default it is set to show "My Processes." Change it to "All Processes" like this:
    4) Now highlight the "%CPU"column as shown so the most active processes "bubble"to the top (tiny arrow points down).
    Now watch things move up and down for a minute of two. What you are looking for is any single process that is using more than about 10 percent of the processor cycles while the computer is idling. If you see one doing that, post its name in a reply here.
    Awaiting your report,
    Allan

  • How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

    Hello all,
    How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
    I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
    All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
    Declare
    v_valid boolean;
    Begin
    IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    END IF;
    return v_valid;
    END;
    My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
    Thanks

    See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..
    Cheers,

  • How can I check for the existence of an XML file in Illustrator Javascript??

    I'm writing a Javascript to run at startup. I want to check for the existence of XML files and process them, if they are available. How can I check for their existence?

    Your first line just sets a variable to a string value… getFiles() is a method of Folder… so
    var InputXMLDir = Folder( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/" );
    Not a PC user so I can't remember if the colon is OK…? As you appear to know the file name why bother with a folder get files anyhow you could just check if the file exists then do some thing…
    alert( File( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/brackets_men_web.xml" ).exists );

  • Carriage return in textarea - how do I check for and remove it???

    I have an html form that has a <textarea> element for user input. I work mainly with Java and some JavaScript. Since carriage returns are permitted in a <textarea> element, upon retrieving the value submitted, my Java and/or JavaScript variables contain carriage returns as well, making the values incomplete.
    For Example :
    String dataSubmitted = request.getParameter("formInput");
    <script language="JavaScript">
    var textValue = "<%=dataSubmitted%>";
    ....//do other stuff
    </script>When I view the source of my JSP page, the above statement of code looks like this:
    var textValue = "This is some text that
    I submitted with a carriage return";I'm putting the text submitted through this form into a mysql database, and when I pull up the values I find that it has recorded the carriage return as well. There is an actual symbol representing a carriage return in the db field.
    What I'd like to do is use some Java code to go through each character of the String and find and remove the carriage return, perhaps replacing it with an empty space instead. But how do I check for a carriage return in a String variable?
    Also, is there a way to use JavaScript to alert the user when the carriage return button is pressed when they're in the <textarea>?
    Any input is appreciated,
    Thank You,
    -Love2Java

    What I'd like to do is use some Java code to go through
    each character of the String and find and remove the
    carriage return, perhaps replacing it with an empty
    space instead. But how do I check for a carriage return
    in a String variable?The carriage return is represented by the \r. Generally there is also a newline, the \n. You can use String#replaceAll() to replace occurences of them by a space.
    string = string.replaceAll("\r\n", " ");
    Also, is there a way to use JavaScript to alert the user
    when the carriage return button is pressed when they're
    in the <textarea>?You can capture keys using the 'onkeypress' attribute. The keyCode of a the return key is 13. So simply catch that:<textarea onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) alert('You pressed the return button.'); return false;"></textarea>The return false prohibits the linebreak being inserted. If you remove that, then it will be inserted anyway.

  • I received a phishing email supposedly from my bank and clicked on url - didn't enter any data though.Bank says to get ipad checked for viruses,but I understood ipad has built in security.I've cleared cookies in safari via settings.  Anything else to do?

    I received a phishing email supposedly from my bank and clicked on url - didn't enter any data though.Bank says to get ipad checked for viruses,but I understood ipad has built in security.I've cleared cookies in safari via settings.  Anything else to do?

    I know this has been solved as you reported, but I think you need to check with your e-mail provider. Did you also get this same e-mail on your computer? If you use the same ID for e-mail on computer and ipad, it should have appeared on both. It's very common spam. Check your computer to see if on it, the e-mail is in spam, or, if you deleted it on your ipad, check your recently deleted e-mails.
    You might want to consider changing your password, though people sending spam, don't need it. My e-mail provider had me change my password, not because I was getting spam, but unknown to me, I was sending it!  (You'll still get some spam, though.) It's when you learn that you're unknowingly sending spam...that you must change your password.
    Hope this helps.
    (Ss I was sending this, I just got an e-mail notification from the Nigerian... it got to my e-mail instead of going to spam.)

    Actually, it's a timing issue. Those items are greyed out for a couple of minutes after PPro starts. A little patience and they become available. ;)
