How to detect if Macbook pro infected with a bot?

Heard from Comcast that my MacBook Pro may be infected with a bot.  How do I know?  Should I download their recommended Norton AntiVirus software?

I'm not as convinced as Linc that this is a scam.  Of course, Comcast does have an agreement with Symantec to promote Norton, but that doesn't mean that they're likely to lie to customers to get them to use Norton.  That could get them into some pretty serious hot water.
It is possible that you could be infected with Flashback, and Comcast has detected botnet activity coming from your network as a result.  Make sure to run Software Update to install the latest Java- or Flashback-related update, which should remove any infection.  (If you're infected, it'll tell you, and if not, the update will just install and say nothing.)
However, it's very easy for these sorts of things to be wrong.  False positives come up all the time.  You could have had an infected Windows machine connected to your network at some point that triggered the warning.  That is more easily possible if your wireless network doesn't have a password, so you may have a neighbor using your network without permission.  Also, your IP address may have been used by someone else, who was infected with something, until recently and the IP addresses were reassigned from the pool of available IP addresses.  Which just means the previous user of the IP address triggered the warning, and now you're using the address so you're receiving the warning by mistake.
If they give you a hard time about installing AV software, install Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition or ClamXav, both of which are free and excellent.  Then scan your machine and let them know you're clean.  Do not install Norton.

  • How to upgrade a MACbook pro 2009 with a SSD?

    Need help installing an SSD into my mid 2009 MACbook pro.

    Yes as Clinton says this is correct.
    I've used a Sata to USB connector which is only a few pounds instead of an enclosure for the clone, but then I wasn't keeping mt old HDD. But that's an option if you don't need it.
    I also use Carbon copy cloner as this will clone your recovery partition as well. Apples disk utility will also clone drives but I'm not sure that it copy's the recovery partition.
    I highly redomend my Samsung 840 pro 256Gb - it's about the fastest drive you'll get (nearly) but is backed by Samsung's unrivaled SSD reliability and 5 year warranty. I've also used an 840 basic model on an older macbook and was equally pleased.
    Crucial's drives are reliable mac friendly drives but are somewhat slower on the write speeds vs the 840 Pro.
    I'd avoid OCZ drives due to so many failures across their range although they do have great reviews and some models just edge the Pro on speed although it's fairly negligible.
    As Clinton says, avoid the Samsung Evo drive. I wanted to buy this drive as it is a great drive - but there are many users that have had compatibility issues with it when installed in a Mac. This may rectified on a future firmware update possibly, but until it's proven I would avoid it for now.

  • How to control a MacBook Pro remotely with ARD?

    I have ARD set up and installed, but I'm not sure how to set up a connection with the MBP so I can control and observe the MBP with ARD.
    Looking for a easy tutorial for a beginner in ARD.

    Hi apple is awesome,
    Just to check, you have one computer, with ARD installed, and your trying to use that computer to control your "BMP"?
    If so:
    On your BMP, you would want to setup sharing:
    go to the white menu bar at the top of the screen
    click on the Apple Menu
    chose "System Preferences..."
    when System Preferences opens, click the "Show All" button
    click on the "Sharing" icon
    if the lock in the bottom left corner of the window is locked, then click on it to unlock sharing
    At the top of the window there will be a field labeled "Computer Name:" make sure your computer has a name you'll recognize.
    Check "Remote Management"
    Click on the words "Remote Management
    If "Allow Access for:" is set to "All Users", Click the "Options.." button
    If "Allow Access for:" is set to "Only These Users:" then:
    if the user you wish to connect as is not on the "Only These Users:" list, click on the "+" button
    from the list of Users that pops up, select the user you wish to login with.
    click the "Select Button"
    you should be prompted with a list of actions you can allow to be remotely accessed by ARD.
    Check: Observe, Control, Show when being Observed, Generate Reports, Open and Quit Applications, Change Settings, Delete And Replace items, Start text chat or send Messages, Restart and Shutdown, Copy Items.
    Click the "OK" Button
    Cose System Preferences
    Your BMP should now be ready to be remotely connected to. (assuming the firewall on the BMP is off, and no other program like little snitch, or internet barrier is running)
    To connect to your BMP:
    On your ARD computer, open Apple Remote Desktop
    If you look on the left hand side of In Apple Remote Desktop there will be a column, the second item on the column listed Should be "Scanner" click on it
    Make sure scanner is set to "bonjour"
    from the list, on the right side of ARD you should see you BMP listed with what ever name you set in sharing.
    click on it, to select the computer
    click on the control screen icon from the tool bar.
    you will be prompted for the user name and password to use to connect to the computer.
    Good Luck!

    You did not remove your Windows partition correctly. You need to remove it using Boot Camp Assistant. If you cannot then you will need to repartition the entire drive back to a single partition/volume.

  • My MacBook Pro came with Lion pre-installed so I can't re-download it from the app store. Is it possible to get the installESD.dmg file and how can I get it if I can't re-download Lion in Apple Store option?

    My MacBook Pro came with Lion pre-installed so I can't re-download it from the app store. Is it possible to get the installESD.dmg file and how can I get it if I can't re-download Lion in Apple Store option?

    FYI Mac OS X is not designed to be installed on additional Macs, unless you purchased it from the App Store, in which case you can make as many copies as you wish and install it on as many Macs as you own.
    From the Recovery Disk Assistant -
    Notes
    If the computer shipped with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the external recovery drive may only be used with the system that created it.
    If the system was upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion purchased from the App Store, the external recovery drive can be used with other similarly-upgraded systems.

  • Does my macbook pro come with anti virus protection?

    Does my Macbook Pro come with anti-virus protection, or do i need to supply it myself?

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • Need help trouble shooting on how to fix my MacBook Pro so it will start

    Ok, this is going to be a bit of a long one, cuz there are a good amount of details that go into the problem and how I have tried to fix it.
    To start, late last summer I got my Macbook Pro 15" with high resolution anti-glare, 500 GB X 7200 RPM hard drive, and everythin else standard.
    Next part of the story is that i decided to upgrade from my 3-year-old iPhone 3GS. So I preordered an iPhone 5 (never doing that again), and finally received it 10/05/12.
    Wanting to synch my new iPhone 5 ASAP so I could fully play with it, I finally synched my old iPhone 3GS with my MacBook Pro for the first time. I had not previously synched it with my MacBook Pro, because all of the songs and stuff that were on it were from being synched with my family's desktop (from maybe a year or so ago; I don't synch my phones often.). I also had been lazy this whole time in not transferring the songs and stuff from the desktop to my MacBook Pro, so thats why I didn't synch my 3GS, because I didn't want to lose that stuff on my phone until I had made time to transfer the data. Because of this, I didn't use iTunes that much and I updated it only 2 or 3 times over the year that I had if before I got my iPhone 5.
    After synching my old phone, I then tried synching the i5, but an iTunes pop up said that I needed to update to iTunes 7.0 in order to synch the new phone.
    So I canceled the pop-up, and checked the updates in iTunes, and selected update (I can't remember what it said I was updating to, but I don't think it was 7.0).
    After it started updating, it asked if I wanted to update something something else (I think it was an iOS update or something thing like that.).
    I select update, because it looks legit, and why not update the whole computer when I'm taking the time to update iTunes? So the 15-20 minute installation estimation time turns into 2 hours (I think that it said that there was 2GB of update, but not sure.).
    At that time, I think of how I don't remember if the update was 7.0 or not (maybe 6.9 or something like that was my thought.). So I tried to re-synched my i5 to make the pop up for iTunes 7.0 to come up. It came up, and I clicked the link to take me to Apple's site. I clicked the update to iTunes 7.0, and it started downloading from the internet, and it gave some download estimation time. Remember that the other iTunes and iOS thing was still updating while iTunes 7.0 was downloading. The problem was that I had to go to work a few minutes before the download of the iTunes 7.0 from Apple's site would complete and 1.5 hours before the other updates would finish. So I just left my MacBook Pro open, running, and updating/downloading.
    After work, I checked my laptop, and it said something about finalizing the installation. So I hit that button to finalize or whatever it said, and it starts finalizing.
    After waiting 10 or so minutes I check my MacBook Pro again, and it says that it needs to restart to complete the process. So I hit the restart button on the pop up.
    It restarted, and against a blue screen there was a grey pop up that said that there was some error or something like that in the installation and that I needed to restart the computer again. There was only one button on the pop up, and it was the "Restart" button. So I pressed it, and it restarted again.
    However, it didn't fully boot up (and to this day still doesn't) and get past the grey screen with the apple and the spinning gear thingy underneath it.
    After like 20 minutes, I did a forced shut off, and rebooted while holding the option button to see if I could start my Windows side, since I have my computer bootcamped, though I haven't used Windows on it yet. The three options appeared: Windows something, Macintosh something, and Recovery HD. I clicked the Windows button, and after loading and stuff, Windows was running and working. So I'm pretty sure that my problem isn't a hardware problem, but a software problem.
    So I asked a friend who is studying to be some kind of computer guy, and he suggested that I put in the Mac iOS X disk that I got with my MacBook Pro when I start up and try to get to Disk Utility. I did that, and was able to get to Disk Utility. And as he instructed, I (on the First Aid tab, I think) pressed "Verify Disk". He said that it started to look for problems and stuff. Then when it was done, I pressed the "Repair Disk", and he said it started fixing those problems. After it was done, I performed another forced shut off. I then turned my MacBook Pro on with crossed fingers, but it was still stuck on the gray screen with the apple and the gear.
    He then suggested that we try to start it in Safe Mode, so we researched how to do it on my family's desktop. I tried holding Shift after the turn on tone and releasing it when the spinning gear appeared, but that didn't work. I'm still not sure if that's the right way to start in safe mode.
    So right now I don't have any other ideas, besides spending money to get it fixed, which I don't want to do, cuz I'm not rich and I work hard for all these fancy toys.
    It ***** to have the joy of getting the newest iPhone overshadowed by my MacBook Pro not working.
    Someone, please help!!!

    First off your older OS X boot disks are no good as you upgraded OS X to a later version.
    When you held the option key down at boot, this entered Startup Manager and by what your describing you have Recovery HD, Macintosh HD (your OS X boot partition), and Windows BootCamp partition.
    To repair the drive, you enter Recovery HD and use Disk Utiltiy there to repair the Macintish HD partition.
    You also use Recovery HD to reinstall OS X 10.7 or 10.8 from Apple's servers, this should fix your problems without deleting your programs or files. (some third party with at boot kernel extension ones will have to be reinstalled)

    USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
    So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
