  • How do I know if my computer has a virus?

    Hello,
    When I am on netflix and click on certain buttons more windows open on my computer. It didn't used to happen so I am worried that my computer has been attacked by a virus. How do I know if it is a real virus?
    Thanks!

    You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • How I know if my computer have a virus?

    My computer is slow and the itunes show up by his self? is a virus?

    It's almost certainly not malware.  See my Mac Malware Guide for more information on that topic.  (Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)
    For troubleshooting speed problems, see the Mac OS X Speed FAQ.  As for iTunes starting by itself, there are a number of ways to trigger that, such as accidental button presses on an Apple Remote, pressing F7, F8 or F9, connecting an iOS devices, etc.

    If your computer is from the past 10 years, it is very, very likely that it has at least USB 2.

  • How do I know if my computer has a SuperDrive?

    I am trying to use IDVD but it wont appear at all and then it said you needed a SuperDrive so I don't know if my computer has one?

    Click the Apple icon in the menu bar and choose 'About this Mac'. Click the 'More Info...' button.
    In the sidebar or the pane which opens, click 'Disc Burning' (expand thue 'Hardware' list if necessary to see it) and in the list you will see 'DVD write' and the types it can burn: if it doesn't have this you don't have a superdrive (unlikely, I would have thought, they've been standard for some years).
    If you need to follow this up please ask in the forum for your model of computer: this forum is for the creation of podcasts.

  • How to know if this computer can handle a certain monitor's resolution?

    I am looking to buy a new monitor, but I am at a loss as to how to know whether my computer can handle the monitor's resolution, will be compatible with it. I used to run two NEC Multisync FE991SB (CRT) monitors side by side, and one of them died. Their native resolution seems to be 1280x1024 per monitor. I am considering buying a DoubleSight DS-263N (LCD) monitor, which has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200, and running it alongside the NEC Multisync FE991SB that has not died.

    Any advice on how i can learn about compatibility? And on what card i need to buy, if i do need to buy one? Thanks.

    Dear Discussion Folks,
    Thank you all so much for your help. I think I understand now, as a result of your comments and this reply from NVIDIA customer support:
    "I understand from your mail that you would like to know if GeForce FX 5200 Ultra supports your monitor that has a recommended digital resolution of 1920 x 1200.Please be informed that as per the NVIDIA records, the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1600 x 1200 and the maximum analog resolution supported by this graphics card is 2048 x 1536. Since you have mentioned in your e-mail that the Apple's specs page says that the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1920 x 1200, in this case, I request you to contact Apple Support over phone and get confirmed on this. The reason why I am requesting you to contact Apple is because, we at NVIDIA, manufacture only the basic chipsets for the graphics cards and sell them to Apple Computers. The Apple Computers produce the graphics cards using the NVIDIA chipsets."
    This reassured me that there's no reason to worry about the appearance of a contradiction between the Apple tech sheet and the NVIDIA tech sheet. I went ahead and ordered this monitor today: the DoubleSIght DS- 265W.
    (by the way, sorry about typing 1900x1200 when I meant 1920x1200).
    After it arrives in a week or two, I'll update this thread to confirm that its resolution is supported by the GeForce FX 5200 Ultra card.
    Thanks again,
    Mark

  • How do i know if my apple has a virus?

    How do I know if my apple has a virus? How do I check?

    What makes you ask? Are you having a problem that you believe is due to some kind of malware? If so, what is that problem? Describe the symptoms in detail... they're probably not due to malware, so knowing what is going on is important.
    If you're just curious about protecting yourself against malware, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • How to know if a parent has no children in JTree?

    How to know if a parent has no children in JTree?

    Be careful about depending on isLeaf. Common practice states that isLeaf() returns true ONLY if the node in question is not capable of having children (for example, a file in Windows Explorer). A directory with no items in it would not be a leaf node, but would have a child count of 0.

  • How to know if a file has been updated in iCloud after modification?

    How to know if a file has been updated in iCloud after modification?
    I work on various app including Keynote on my Mac Pro. And after modification, i close file and I wait.
    When I see no more Internet traffic. I assume that keynote has uploaded all the works I have done into iCloud.
    But when I open the same file on my iPad on the way to work. I do not see the file updated.
    I assume that I did not wait long enough.
    I wished I had a way to enforce the updated file to upload and way to get confirmation that it has been completed.
    In windows I simply push the sync button.
    But for iCloud I do not yet see anything like that.
    Please help.

    you would be better served asking this in the iCloud discussion, where users are more knowledgeable about iCloud. Replies on iOS and iCloud issues are usually unanswered here because of our lack of knowledge.

    how to know under which carrier has the phone been issued

    If you bought it from an authorized Apple reseller, it should say on the receipt. If you bought it from a private seller, ask that seller, or call Apple Support and they may be able to tell you.

  • My computer has a virus how do i get it off

    i downloaded a third part soft wear the other day , and now my computer has a virus. someone help get it off!

    Describe the symptoms, not your diagnosis of the cause.
    A virus is unlikely, and pursuing an "anti-virus" cure for it is almost certain to cause lost time, money, data, general abject misery or all the above.

    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
