How do you remove a potential malware on Macbook Pro?

When I am opening new tabs in Google Chrome I get pop up widows looking like coming from Chrome, prompting update of browser as supposedly the video player is out of date. Looks suspicious as directs to zipCloud page.
I have run iAntivirus, Avast and AVG cleaner and none of them picks up on it. However looking up online this flags up as a malware.
Can you recommend an app that sufficient and worth investing in?
Thanks,
Esztrin

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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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 (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do you remove a cd from the macbook air superdrive when it won't eject. all is get is the option to burn a cd when i click eject

Just bought a mini and a dvd superdrive. was uploading pictures and one cd won't eject when I click on the eject icon. It will display that I can burn one if I insert a cd, but won't eject the current cd. How do you override the pop up or manually eject the cd from the superdrive without taking it to a store or asking for a replacement?

You can also eject a disc by restarting your computer and holding down the primary mouse button while the computer is starting up until the disc is ejected.

HT201240 How do I remove my password on a macbook pro?

Hi, I clicked on system preferences>users and groups>login options>automatic login>my name, and I entered my password too
because that's what my friend told me to, but my mac still asks for my password whenever I turn in on. Is it even
possible to login without a password on a macbook pro?
Thanks.

You can't remove your password, it's used to confirm and perform necessary root level installs and Software Updates that your a human and not malware.
But you may need to head to System Preferences > Security and uncheck Disable Automatic Log in.
I really don't advise you do this, a password protects your machine from others doing things to your machine while your not around.
You can log out and leave it, then come back without booting up. Also if some kid steals it, it can keep them out of your account and accessing your files.

HT201250 How do you back up on a Used macbook pro ?

I recently purchased a used macbook pro, and want to back things up. The previous user used time machine, but I can seem to find a way to use this because the previous user already had their own time machine. IS there any way to back up using time machine or to delete the old users time machine?

While you can go to the Time Machine system preferences and remove the backup disks listed there and add new ones, I highly recommend you perform a full format and reinstall of OS X on any used system. You can easily do this by rebooting while holding Command-R to load the recovery tools. One of these is Disk Utility, which you can use to format the hard drive and clear off any current OS installation and settings from the previous owner, and then use the Install OS X tool to download the install files from Apple and reinstall OS X from scratch.
This will give you a "clean slate" to work from, instead of having to manage any previous users' settings and data, and potentially any changes that could lead to instability or other odd problems.

How do you select multiple files on a macbook pro?

Can anyone tell me how to select multiple files at one time? I am so frustrated with the way macbook pro works that I really regret buying it. I hate that you can't select multiple files, and that my contact stuff keeps changing. It is certainly not like I was told...that I would never want to use a PC again. I would not buy another apple computer. I spent a lot of money to NOT be able to do things that I have always done with ease. Every time I think I have something figured out, it doesn't work the next time I go to use it in another program. If anyone has an answer to this, I would sure appreciate it.
And all of these so called wonderful updates to the operating system on all mac products have left me frustrated and liking my apple products far less than I did before. On my iphone I had to make the texts just huge to even be able to see the white writing on a blue background. Not sure who made these designs, but from my perspective, I can tell you they certainly weren't thinking about being user friendly in any way when they did it. So disappointed in all of my devices! I do not enjoy using my computer, ipad, or iphone even close to what I did before.

This is some information on the Finder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
To select multiple files you can use the shift key with the mouse if they are in a contiguous list or the CMD key with the mouse if you have breaks in that list. You can also use the mouse to drag over the files you want to select.
The Macs are easy to use, I have used many versions of Windows, Linux and other operating systems and I find OS X is far the easiest, but that is me.
There are many instructional videos and texts on Apples web site and if you are near to an Apple store they do classes to help.
Hope you get used to it.

How can I remove Windows XP from my MacBook Pro?

I've tried everything I can find to get rid of Windows XP on my MacBook Pro. I have OS X 10.5.8 and, unlike later versions, BootCamp Assistant 2.0 doesn't allow the option to restore the disk. And I can't find an update to BootCamp anywhere that will work. Seems I need Snow Leopard to upgrade to 3.0.

Boot Camp has an option to remove the Windows partition provided you made the partition with Boot Camp and did not later modify it or create a third-partition on the drive.
This may work:
Open Disk Utility, select your drive in the sidebar, then click on the Partition button in the DU main window. Select the Windows partition by clicking in the Windows rectangle of the partitions display. Click on the Delete [-] button to remove the partition then click on the Apply button. Wait for DU to either complete the operation or error out. If DU removes the partition then click on the partition sizing gadget (lower right hand corner) on the main partition and drag all the way to the bottom to fill the gray space left from removing the Windows partition. Click on the Apply button and wait until the operation is completed.
If you get errors at either of the two procedures then that means the drive's RDB has been damaged or altered. In this case backup the drive, boot from the backup, erase the drive, then restore the backup.
