HT3986 how will i know if my mac has windows 7 already?

nnn

Press and hold the option key when you power up your computer.
Did you install Windows? Did someone else install Windows for you? If not, then you don't have Windows.

How do I know if my Mac has been infected with the virus

I recently was asked to download an Adobe Acrobat reader update but before I was made aware that the current virus was contained in a similar request, I downloaded what I assumed to be a legit update. I currently do not use my mail program on my Mac so am unaware of any spam being distributed from the computer. How can I identify if my computer has been infected with this Trojan Horse virus?

Two Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip
A related link in the tip to a checker: Malware Checker Dowload Link
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started.
For now I recommend the User Tip from etressoft to detect and remove:
Checking for and removing the "Flashback" trojan

How do i know if my Mac has a virus? or any kind of malware? im running OS Mavericks.

I'm worried because one of my friends opened a website that seemed weird and i dont know if i could of gotten a virus or malware.

If your friend was using your Mac to visit this web site, you really should only allow your friend to use your Mac from the guest account. If you do that everything they do in the guest account will be erased when they log off you Mac. Also being on the guest account will prevent them from installing anything. That can really be helpful in preventing any such problems.
To do that just use Fast User Switching to login to the guest account and then give it to them.
My answer if they don't like that solution is to tell them to go find someone else's Mac to use then.

How do i know if my mac has a virus

what can i use to check and see if i have a virus on my computer

If you want to try it for free, install the mackeeper from the apple page. It checks for viruses and tells you if you have anything. Just go to www.google.com and type in mac keeper.

HT5244 how do I know whether my mac has the malware?

I've just installed the java fix, but I don't whether it's to late, ie whether the malware is already installed on my mac. Is there any way to check it, without buying an antivirus (cf. should be an advantage of the Mac so far). Cheers

ClamAV is a free antivirus too that you can run once to determine if there is any sign of it.
Apparently, ClamXav has not been doing that well in detecting the latest versions of FlashBack. If you are looking for a free A-V product with a more aggressive update policy, it might be worth checking out Sophos AntiVirus for Mac Home Edition.

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

How are you creating the file, exactly?
And if you don't manage to solve it you can use this free tool I've developed to reverse the page order in Acrobat with a single click:

How will I know my i7 is working properly?

I've seen a lot of threads on here where people have noticed problems upon receiving their new i5 and i7 iMacs. My question is for someone who is a relative novice with Apple and computers in general, how will I know if something's not working properly?
I can obviously tell if something's wrong with the display, but is there a recommended way to test it out and make sure everything is running as it should?
I ordered mine from apple.com on Dec 2, it should be arriving on Dec 21.
Thank you.

First welcome to Apple Discussions.
You will know if it's working OK if you don't see anything wrong. There aren't any tests you need to run, just set it up following Apple's instructions and use it for a few days. If everything appears normal then it most likely is. Your iMac should be quiet and run smoothly, if it doesn't then you have 90 days of free telephone support and of course 1 year for the standard warranty. If you didn't already I would recommend getting AppleCare to protect your investment for up to 3 years from the original date of purchase.
Last if you haven't already I would recommend going to these sites to learn more about your Mac especially if you are migrating from MS Windows.

How will you know if someone is using video chat?

How will you know if someone is using video chat? Does the green camera indicator turns red?

Hi,
You Buddy List will show two types of AV icons.
"Single" type which indicates the person can only do 1-1 Chats.
"Stacked" icons indicating they can do Multi-way chats.
Example pic
If they appear feint or "greyed out", so to speak, then they are Busy to someone else.
(if they are chatting with you they will appear dark again once connected)

I Cloud. How does it know my various Macs?

I Cloud lets one purchase an Op and it will appear on all my MAC devices. How does it know all my MAC devises?

You would have to be signed in with the same Apple ID in iCloud settings in System Preferences on each Mac.

How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.

How will i know if a virus,malware or spyware is d...

i hve scan my comp and it wont finish scanning 1 program files un-scaned and alcohol120 program files. i'm a bit woried about the privacy of our video call.. my wifes brother warned us of some virus that is includen on some sofwres that you might download on your pc. how will i know if a virus,malware or spyware is design to hack my video call on skype? can that proram files that cant be scned can be a form of virus of software that can hck my videocalls.. pls tell me how cn i know that..

Only a clean install can give you a clean chit.
But that is painful if you want to restore your applications and settings.
So called hacks are very rare and unlikely to be on your comp. Check Activity Monitor and if you see weird processes then you need to be worried; else you are generallly fine.
