How do I run a system security scan on an iPad or iMac?

How do I run a system security scan for things like malware that i could have got from Facebook on an iPad or iMac?

iPads and Macs are very different.
For Macs there are many security suites and virus scanners out there you can use.  A Google search should point some out.
iPads at this time cannot get infected by malware or viruses. There is just nothing out there currently that can infect them.  As such there is no way to scan them for anything and its not really necessary.

    How do you run a full virus scan on the Imac

    Take a look at this article:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
    Running a virus scan would not help at all - someone got your email address and is now hoping you're dumb enough to use the links they provided and give them information so they can use your credit card or checking acount number, password, etc.
    I would change my user name and password immediately (if not sooner!!) - make it difficult to guess. Do it at least with the bank involved; however, to be safe, it wouldn't hurt doing it with others as well.

    There is no virus or malware in the wild that can affect an iPad, unless it has
    been jailbroken. If that is the case in your situation, Terms of Use for the forum prohibit
    discussion of jailbroken devices.

  • How do I run a system check?

    I want to run a system check to see what is functioning improperly and if the new keyboard update is really freezing my MBP
    Thanks for the help!

    If you're talking about the Apple Hardware Test, then insert your OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer into the optical drive. Restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run extended diagnostics. You should run them several times because sometimes problems occur intermittently and may not show up on a single run.
    If this isn't what you meant, then be more specific.

  • How do I run a virus check on my apple ipad?

    I opened an email which turned out to be a suspicious one purporting to ship my order , giving me a product no etc. Prior to that I had purchased a holiday online , using my DEBIT card.Now I am concerned that my account will be hacked into.How do I check this >How do I run a virus check?

    You can assume that your device is secure, but if you supplied any personal information in response to that email, consider it to be compromised. Phishing emails generally don't contain malware, and if one does, it's probably designed for Windows and won't affect an iOS device.

  • How do you run a virus/ malware scan on Gen3 Time Capsule

    My late 2010 MacBook Pro was completely wiped out the other day, and a friend of mine who is a techie determined that something completely everything. I mean everything! No boot function...nothing!
    I was hoping it was just a HDD failure, since I've had it replaced once before. I noticed before the crash, when I ran "repair disc," then "verify disc" that all these error messages came up. I called Apple Care, and he made me an Apple Genius appointment that day at my nearest store. Long story short, he could not do anything more, since once he removed the casing, he noticed what could have been a liquid spill, which of course, voids Apple Care. Thank God my friend is a tech wizard.
    He took it home with him, completely took it apart, rane various hardware diagnostics on it, there was no liquid spill, the HDD does work, the logice board isn't damamged, it was just wiped out.
    My Mac was acting funny the last few days, and the fan kept running constantly, so as a precaution I backed everything up to the Time Capsule and another portable hard drive. So the problem is, if I downloaded something and it's now just waiting in one, if not both, of those backups, how can I make sure it doesn't get transfered over once I restore all my files?
    Thanks.
    Mike

    It's most likely not due to any malware infection.
    http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg-infected/#spam
    If you still want to do a scan, then a good bet is to get the free Sophos. But be warned, no A-V will find everything (definitions for any particular infection first have to be in the A-V catalog), and it may turn up false positives.

  • How do I run a system diagnostic check on my macbook?

    I have a 2006 macbook pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5. I don't have AHT on my macbook and I don't have the backup disks. Any ideas?

    you need grey disk 2 that origionally came with the mac to run AHT.  No other alternative unless you bring it to an Apple store or AASP and have them run one.  What seems to be the problem with your mac that makes you want to run AHT?

  • [SOLVED] How can I make my system secure as much as i want it too

    Which distros do you mean? Arch can be made more secure surely. But you have always to remember that you will never be completely safe.

  • How can I stop downloading McAfee Security Scan Plus, I don't want it.  I still don't want it.

    Happens 50% of the time.  I want it stopped!

    whenever you download an adobe program that offers mcafee, untick the mcafee option.
    if you're updating the flash player, manually download and update so you can untick the mcafee option:  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • How can i run wireless internet when using windows xp on my imac?

    I recently installed Windows XP on my imac using Boot Camp, everything works great except the internet. ive been looking but i have found no way to get the internet to work via my wireless connection, or is it just not possible?
    Could it be that i am missing some drivers? Anyone know where i can get them?
    Sorry if im asking too much stuff.
    Thanks in advance

    Depending on the wireless base station brand and specifications,
    you may have to set up the Windows system to find & use it...
    Just about the same as setting up any Windows PC to go online;
    except, if you have an Apple base station...
    If you have an AirPort base station, there are updates for Windows
    to help use that access point, from your Mac, running Windows.
    An example, but not necessarily the correct answer, in the following:
