I am trying to remove malware introduced when downloading an Adobe Reader update

Macbook with OS Mavericks, HD 1Tb, 2 Gb memory.
Mail app disable for outgoing mail and cannot add new accounts.
What software would you recommend for malware scanning and removal.
Actually, a spam website disabled my IP number until I get rid of the virus.

The latter is a scam. Your computer is not disabled in any way. Your browser has simply been directed to a malicious web page that shows a pop-up claiming that you have a virus, and telling you to call a phone number to fix it. Did you call that phone number?
Whatever is going on with Mail (I'm unclear on exactly what that is) is a separate issue. You'll need to post additional details about that. Exactly what behavior are you seeing from Mail?

  • Safari 6 (7536.25) on Mid 2007 Mini running Lion damages pdf files when downloaded.  Adobe reader can't open them; downloaded via Chrome they can be opened.

    When I download pdf files using Safari 6, they can't be read by Adobe Reader; using Safari to read them isn't a solution, because Safari doesn't allow them to be printed page by page.  The same files, downloaded by Chrome, by contrast, can be opened and printed.  Is there a patch for this problem?

    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Trash the Adobe Reader app from your Applications folder.
    Empty the trash.
    Go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and download the FULL installer to replace Reader and the plug-ins.
    Redownload the Forms.

I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

    I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh).  First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there.  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively. 
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

    Interesting response, Kappy  -  Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook).  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.  
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
    You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
         1)  I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference?  Why the different toatl count?
         2)  Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  What's in those files? And where are they?
    Probably more important questions get down to:
         3)  Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"?  This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle.  Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
         4)  And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
    Thanks again for your interest and comments.  - Russ-AZ

    If you are trying to update iTunes, try downloading it and installing manually.  Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/, download the latest version and save it on your computer, then double-click on it to install.

  • WHY DO I HAVE A WONDERSHARE WATERMARK WHEN USING MY ADOBE READER X?

    I just completed a reformat and re-install of my operating system. My next step was to download and install adobe reader 10 which seemed to go just fine. I opened up my adobe reader and up comes a watermark from something called "wondershare". Why is this watermark present and why can't I remove it ( this crappy wondershare site says I can remove the watermark for a fee)? Keep in mind that I downloaded my adobe reader directly from the adobe website (I did not use any third party site or downloader). Someone please help me!
    I downloaded directly from the adobe website. I am using a fresh install of Windows Vista (installed from pre-made recovery disks back to factory specs) after a complete hard drive format (including the recovery partition).

    Derp Derp Derp Now why didn't I think of that. Sure enough Bernd Alheit you were correct. Actually I realized that the document itself came from an alternate site instead of my trusted site. I deleted the pdf and re-downloaded it from my trusted site and no more watermark. Thanks for knock on the back of my head!

  • I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

    I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

    Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

  • PDF file is distorted when opened in Adobe Reader, but not in Photoshop.

    I used Photoshop to create a PSD file with multiple layers, then saved as PDF.  When then using Adobe Reader to open the PDF, the layers look different.  What is causing this and how do you fix?

    Never heard of such an issue.  Can you share such a PDF with the forum?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

  • Exported pdf from indesign drops punctuation when printed from adobe reader

    The pdf prints fine when printed from acrobat pro, but depending on the export pdf settings from indesign, it will drop most numbers and punctuation when printed from adobe reader.

    Is Adobe Reader installed on the same computer Adobe Acrobat is?
