How to remove latest java virus?

How to remove latest java virus manually as reported in the media?

There is some incorrect information being presented in this thread.
Neither your system nor Java is  updated daily. XProtect on 10.6 or above may get automatic updates as they are pushed out by Apple, but not necessariy daily. I have seen a week or more go by without any, and there have been none for the latest Flashback attack.
There are now Java updates for 10.6.8 and 10.7 to patch the vulnerability that is currently being exploited. This Trojan does not necessarily require your password or any user interaction for infection.
Use Software Update to see if there is a Java update for your OS.
The github Flashchecker is inaduate as it depends on outdated definitions.
Try using this one, which is most certainly more current.

Apple is currently developing a detection and removal tool. No idea when it will be ready.

  • How to remove a java script pop up

    Hi,
    I imported a robohelp document from another company and i am
    catering it to my company's needs. The problem is they have popups
    which refer to .bmp and it is in java script. If i highlight the
    word which has the pop up and remove the popup and then highlight
    the normal word again and refer it to my topic in the project
    manger; it still refers to their image and not mine. It is strange
    but true. I don't know how to remove the java script cos each time
    i hover over the highlighted text there are 2 red squares on the
    left and right hand side of the word highlighted which i want to
    change from their image to mine.
    Any help would be much appreciated .
    Thanks,

    if you could paste this code on your word doc and try to
    search for .bmp it exactly shows where it is used i tried removing
    that line but it acted strange as even when i added a pop up to a
    word it does not show anything in the view mode.

    Your question presupposes a conclusion that will only mislead you and others into pursuing solutions that are likely to exacerbate whatever problem exists.
    Please describe the problem you are experiencing, and the equipment being affected by the problem. Your question was posted in the Power Mac Discussions area while your equipment profile indicates a Mac Pro, and a version of iOS inapplicable to either of them. All that information conflicts with itself, so please resolve those discrepancies.

  • How to remove a Java instance from the config tools

    Hi,
    I would like to remove a java instance from the config tool since that server does not exist anymore.  Is there a way?
    Please le me know.
    Thanks
    Jean

    Jean,
    I think you can do this if you remove the entries of your Instance from instance.properties file located under the below path.Take a backup of the file first then do the changes and Restart the server once done.

  • How to remove "outdate java runtime environment" warning

    I am using an application that requires an outdated JRE 1.5.0_11, since the new 1.5.0_12 is presenting problems. 1.6.0_2 is not working either.
    But since 1.5.0_12 is around I am getting plugin warning popups telling me to install the latest 1.5.0 update (12 or 13). Strangely most of my colleagues do not get this popup...
    The application also requires me to work with IE. I am using IE 7. I get the feeling that the IE Sun add in (svv.dll) is responsible for this warning, but where does it get its information?? And how can I get rid of the warning popup??
    Unfortunately the application requires the add in and popup's not being blocked.
    Thnks, Carel

    The application developers have determined the root cause. It seems that together with 1.6.2 functionality has been introduced that checks the latest version of your JRE. A bit unexpected it doesn't only check your 1.6 JRE, but also your 1.5 JRE. So if you have 1.6.2 or higher running together with 1.5.12 or lower on the same system, you will be getting this "nice" prompt. Only solution is to remove 1.6 or stick with 1.6.1 (probably generating the same prompt).

  • How to remove Mac Guard virus

    how do you romove the Mac Guard virus???

    Babowa and Barry,
    I undertsnad what you guys mean.
    Please look at the definition from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware
    Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, scareware, crimeware, most rootkits, and other malicious and unwanted software or program.
    Therefore, Malware is a concept that includes computer viruses.
    I surely know the difference among Trojans, viruses, worm, spyware, etc. But I usually would like to calle all of them as " Virus" because I think "Virus" has been a general and popular concept for all computer threats.
    Anyway, the most important thing here is to remove the Mac Guard infection and I just wanted to offer you guys some more information. If you think it is not ok with you, just ignore it. Just like all of you here:  I offered you the information and it is your choice to accpt the information or ignore the information.

  • How to remove latest version of Acrobat X

    How do I remove version 10.1.10 and go back to 10.1.9?  I believe I have an error where stamps are automatically deleted in Shared reviews.  It started happening when users downloaded 10.1.10.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Thanks for the reply.  A little more detail on the error.  In a shared review when a user put a stamp on the pdf and publishes it, everything goes thru correctly, and they get the pop up response "1 new comment was published."  In the background the .XML file looks correct in the review folder.  If anyone else opens the review they can not see the stamp.  The Welcome screen will show a 1 comment by the user name, but there will not be a comment on the document or in the comment list pane.  When the user who posted the comment opens the review again their stamp will not show up and the "Publish Comments" button will be highlighted.  When they click it they get the pop up response "1 comment was deleted".  They are stuck in this cycle forever.  One odd thing we have found is that all other annotation/drawing markup tools are working correctly.  It is only the stamp tool that has this issue.

  • How to remove do searches virus

    DO SEARCHES has hijacked firefox. how do I remove it

    It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the remove button.
    # Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

  • How to remove a bug/virus that was embedded in a Mozillas update?

    After an update from Mozilla, I caught a bug that made certain pages unable to be viewed, and made the touch pad/mouse flip settings left/right side.
    I have ran Norton on this laptop since I bought it, and it find nothing. Malware finds nothing. I've been deleting all cache & cookies daily, and that only help temporarely. It's a bug that only work/is active when connected to the internet. If I work offline, the mouse & touchpad stay set. Also if I use explorer, it stays set. I've tried to un-install Firefox to see if the bug would go away, but as soon as I re-installed it, it was back.. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How to remove a .exe virus?

    I use a WD hardrive to store all my work. A colleague of mine borrowed it, she uses some HP laptop. Ever since she used it, the hardrive is showing a .exe error on almost all my foders. I cant move any of those files to Trash. Im relatively new at using a Mac. pls help!

    Then I don't know how she used that drive because windows can not read or write to a drive formatted mac extended (except with a add on program/utility that can do that). You'd better ask her what exactly she did with the drive and what she copied to it.
    If you can't get any files off it or write any files to it then there is only one thing to do. That is to erase or repartition the drive to wipe it clean and start over.
    Then the next time someone want to use it just say no it is for a mac and you have a pc.

  • How to remove it?

    I'm writing a RMI program,can anyone tell me how to remove the "Java Applet Window" bar on the bottom of the frame or dialog?
    thanks in advance

    You cannot remove it easily. The bar is there for security reasons: you want the user to know that (s)he is running an applet, which is code that came from some remote server.
    If you want to be able to open windows without that bar from your applet, you'll have to make the applet signed and give it the appropriate access rights.
