    Have you been having some problems that make you think you may have malware installed?
    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

  • How do I remove a virus from my mac book pro?

    I think I have virus on my mac book pro. When I google Bank of America, it took me to the BofA results, I clidked on the link I normally use, typed in my password, and it took me to another google search page. I tried this several times, thinking maybe I clicked on the wrong link, which I knew I didn't, but just in case, and it keeps taking me to a google search page (not the normal google search engine page). How do I check for a virus and if one, remove it?
    Thanks for your help!

    First thing you should do is call BofA and suspend your online account and/or change your password.
    The correct IP address for BofA is
    171.161.148.173
    If you paste this into your browser URL field (where it says "apple.com http//discussions.apple.com.... now) you will go directly to the BofA site, no poison in between from a lot of possible issues.
    1: Google poisoned
    2: DNS poisoned
    3: Router DNS poisoned.
    I doubt very much it's your Mac, not that I've playing favorite, it's because Mac's are very highly secure.
    Once you have gone to the correct site by entering the IP address into your URL field and pressing enter, bookmark it and use that from now on.
    Also you should see a HTTPS in the URL when you log in, that means you have a secure connection.

  • How can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory?

    i don't know if this question has been asked before: how can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory? just like itunes all my song are save on my external hard drive. make sense?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

    You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
    From Readers Digest-February, 2005
    How to Complain
          You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
    Have a goal
    If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
    Keep it short
    Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
    Stick with it
    You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
    Skip ultimatums
    Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
    Plead your case
    Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
    Be nice
    You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
    Good luck.
