how do i uninstall the flash trojan virus?

Seeing as how your Mac is up to date according to your profile, the update to Lion should have gotten rid of the trojan if it was on your Mac.

My kids downloaded a video game and it appears the Nation searh toolbar was bundled with it. Now it has highjacked Safari and all my Google searches end up with Nation responses.

I have run MacKeeper and all seems well
Yikes!
Many users will see references to an application called MacKeeper on various web sites and via pop-ups (and even re-directs) on their browser. Not only is it expensive for what it purports to do (freeware applications that do the same or more are readily available and in fact make up a large part of MacKeeper), it can sometimes install itself without the user realising it, and it can be very tricky to get rid of.
Most positive reviews of it have been found to have been paid for by Zeobit (developers of MacKeeper) in the form of ‘free upgrades’ etc. For example (posted by fellow contributor Softwater), on their Facebook page and on their webpage they have this apparent endorsement from UNC Charlotte:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-18670779-12515 7/450-259/Screen+Shot+2012-06-17+at+17.04.04.png
Softwater contacted the Director of IT at the College of Arts and Architecture UNC Charlotte, about whether they endorse MacKeeper and his response, quoted here, was:
No, please do not download and install MacKeeper. We have seen problems with this software in the past.
MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed by a company called Zeobit, with a history of making false advertising claims backed up with paid-for reviews, and a rip-off. One such opinion is:

Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
MacKeeper have recently said that the uninstaller from here:
http://applehelpwriter.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malwa re/
now works.
This is also worth reading:

Equally phoney was iAntivirus:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=341
until it was purchased recently (May 2012) by Symantic (makers of Norton anti-virus which does not work well with Apple OS X). Even after having tinkered with it, iAntivirus still fails to do the job properly and cannot be recommended.
There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X and there is therefore no reason to run anti-virus software on a Mac, but a Mac, like all computers, can transmit viruses and malware to other users particularly those running Windows. Note, however, that Trojans are another matter and can represent a genuine threat, an example of which was the recent 'Flashback Trojan' which you can read more about here:

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)." My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac? Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

How do I see the flash drive?

I have a flash drive plugged into the computer. I see its icon in the Sidebar. But it would be more convenient if I could see its icon on the Desktop. How do I get the flash drive to appear on the Desktop?

Finder -> Preferences -> General. Checkmark to show external disks. That should do it.
Regards.

How can I install the Flash Debug Player in Internet Explorer 10?

I just downloaded the Flash Debug Player 11.4.402.287 from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_ax_debug.exe - however, trying to install it merely shows a message box saying
The installation encountered errors: Your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser includes the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of the Flash Player are available.
I'm using Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16384 on Windows 8. A bit of Google research suggested that IE10 has a Flash player built-in (similiar to what Google Chrome has) so I looked for a way to disable the player. It seems that this is indeed possible by clicking the Cogwheel icon in the IE10 toolbar and then selecting 'Manage Add-ons'. The dialog which shows up shows a 'Shockwave Flash Object' entry. However, even with the built-in Flash player disabled, the Flash Debug Player installer keeps giving the same message.
Does anybody knwo how I can install the Flash Debug Player in IE10?

I do not know, but check if there is anything useful in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_windows8_admin_guide.pdf

I could only start in safe mode and until uninstalling the flash player could i start in safe mode with networking. i cannot open any microsoft products now. I get a message saying adobe acrobat 10 is not designed to run on windows or uninstall and reinstall it ....but it will not let me uninstall it.

Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.

I have Lotus Traveler installed on my S5. It's having problems and I want to uninstall it but I'm unable to. How can I uninstall the program?

Are you unable to uninstall it from the app manager in the main settings menu? How about long pressing the app in the app drawer and dragging up to the notification bar? Does the app have a phone admin property checked in Settings-Security-Phone administrators? Sometimes, if it does, apps will not uninstall until unchecked.

How do i uninstall the last system update to fonts?

how do i uninstall the last system update?
It altered my helvetica font in a way that will cost me hundreds of hours re-kerning / resizing / repositioning text in CAD files for at least 10 large scale projects in progress at my architecture office.
This is an extremely serious & very expensive issue that has to be affecting all architecture firms who use macs the same way as it's affecting me & my business.

Apple does not support a downgrade. You can download OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) and give it a try.
