How do I install updates for worm elimination

Operating system OSX 10.4.7, 1GB memory (41CB Free)
Office 2004 for Mac v. 11.2.5
Just received the following message from my ISP:
"Mail server report.
Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer.
Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms).
Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably.
After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail
addresses
Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.

How do I eliminate worms and viruses?
iMac G5, Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

There are no known worms or viruses in the wild for OS X.
What is undoubtedly happening is that some windows user, who's machine is infected, has your email addy in their address book. Mass mailing worms will not only send to everyone in the infected accounts address book, but will use addresses from there to spoof the "from:" field in the sent emails.
There really is nothing you can do since it is not your machine that is the problem. It's some windows machine with your email in the address book, sending emails spoofed to appear as if they came from you.

  • How can I install update for CC2014

    My CC icon shows that all my Apps are up to date.  But when a friend was over my house, she noticed that the initial image when opening CC was different than what she had.  She recently installed the update.  I can't seem to find out how to do this.  Thanks

  • How do I install updates from another computer?

    Got a macbook, and a windows.
    How do I install updates for my macbook (software update.app updates) from my windows computer? Can i somehow download.. example, if i have snow leopard 10.6.1, can i then download an update on windows that updates my mac to 10.6.8?

    Okay, cool. Is it always "Combo updater" or "Update Combined" that i should download?
    I downloaded one of the 10.6.8 updates from apple.com, and it said that i needed 10.6.7 before i installed 10.6.8.
    But I got paritioned HD's, one lion and one snow leopard, When lion 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 comes out, can I then download the updates on windows and transfer that update to mac and update just cool?
    And how do i stay up-to-date with this?
    And other software updates, such as fixes in the trackpad, and such random stuff (not itunes, mail, automator, etc updates, only Main OS updates..) How do i stay up to date with that?

  • How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe??

    How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe (adobe reader, flash player, etc.)
    Is there way from SCCM2012 or group policy or any easy way?????
    Please help me

    If you mean the built-in functionality of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash, it's different mechanism for both.
    For the reader, check this guide for example:
    http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/bid/84409/Adobe-Customization-Wizard-XI-Tutorial
    For flash, check this guide for example:
    http://jthys.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/disable-automatic-updates-for-adobe-flash-shockwave-player-reader/
    After you've studied the above guides, you need to implement those to be used with ConfigMgr application deployment so that when you deploy Reader/Flash, you get the result you want = no automatic update functionality.

  • Error window when installing update for photoshop CS5 (I own photoshop PS6)

    I haven't updated Photoshop since I purchased PS 6 in 2012. Now I am unable to get & install updates for PS5. Adobe product expert advised me to go to FORUM!

    Not Helpful - but Thank you for trying!!
    1) Yes I have Photoshop CS6 & Adobe Bridge CS6 installed, since 2012
    2) Yes they work, but Bridge, Edit in Camera Raw is missing at least one(1) function
       in LENS CORRECTION. This is the impetus for installing the updates, and how I                     discovered Photoshop & Bridge are missing a CS5 up grade.
    3) I installed "Adobe -Photoshop : For Mac : Adobe Photoshop 13.0.6 ( which I am

    You could purchase any commonly available external USB DVD/CD writer, such as the excellent LG brand units sold on Amazon, for about $30 US.  I've used an LG writer for years to save wear and tear on my older Superdrive.

  • I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto.

    I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto. It keeps telling me "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."  The thing is, I am logged into the only Apple ID account that I have.
    What do I need to do to fix this?
    I have a MacBook Pro, with a Retina Display.

    No I did not.  These apps came with the MacBook Pro I recently purchased.  I merely logged into the AppStore and checked for updates.  Updates for iMovie and iPhoto both showed up and I clicked on update all and I got the message "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."

    Help?

    Hi Kristelline and Paul-Armstrong,
    I saw your posts and I will be happy to help.
    @Kristelline
    Do you have the links that you used to download the Cyberlink MediaSuite and Cyberlink LabelPrint?
    Are you getting any errors message when you are trying the installation? Try doing the installation with your anti-virus disconnected. Also try right-clicking on the file and running it as Administrator.
    @Paul-Armstrong
    When do you get that error message about it not being a valid drive during the install or before it starts?
    Thank you,

  • HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

    How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

    Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free  app using the new ID.
