I downloaded what I think is a Trojan to my ipad2 from the ios email client. It was this scam: We attempted to deliver your item. and then you download a link. How can I check for it?

I got a package delivery notice from my email and stupidly clicked the link. It locked my screen for a minute and all seems to be fine, but I see it's a password trojan. How can I find and get rid of it if its there.

Due to the same security features that mean there's no malware capable of infecting an iPad that hasn't been jailbroken, there's also no real anti-virus software for the iPad. The security of iOS (specifically, the sandboxing feature) would not allow an anti-virus app to scan your iPad. There are a few anti-virus apps, but they can only scan things external to your iPad, such as your e-mail or Dropbox accounts.
So, in short, yes, you're just panicking.

  • How can I check for the existence of an XML file in Illustrator Javascript??

    I'm writing a Javascript to run at startup. I want to check for the existence of XML files and process them, if they are available. How can I check for their existence?

    Your first line just sets a variable to a string value… getFiles() is a method of Folder… so
    var InputXMLDir = Folder( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/" );
    Not a PC user so I can't remember if the colon is OK…? As you appear to know the file name why bother with a folder get files anyhow you could just check if the file exists then do some thing…
    alert( File( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/brackets_men_web.xml" ).exists );

  • I use chrome on my iPad Air. When I open the ipad it often flashes a page that I had viewed for a second or two and then it is gone. How can I prevent this?

    I use chrome on my iPad Air. When I open the ipad it often flashes a page that I had viewed for a second or two and then it is gone. How can I prevent this?

    I don't know if you can prevent it at all. The same ting happens to me in other apps - not just web browsers. I realize that since it's a web browser, there might be something that you don't want someone else to see if they use your iPad, so If it bothers you that much, close Chrome when you are done with it.
    Double tap the home button to bring put the multitasking display. Find the Chrome app preview window and drag it up off the screen to close it.

  • Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

  • My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

    My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

    It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
    If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
    Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

  • My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help.  If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
    The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod.  If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

  • How can I check for 'undefined'?

    Hi,
    I am creating a custom MP3 player where audio playback is
    started by clicking on the title of the audio, but I also want to
    be able to start play abck from the Play/Pause button. In order to
    implement this dual approach, I am thinking of checking if a sound
    has been loaded (with 'mySound.loadSound("path to sound") already
    by the my titleButton.
    I am thinking of doing this by checking the
    'mySound.position' as that would be 'undefined' if there was no
    sound loaded.
    But how can I check it for being 'undefined', what woud be
    the syntax? Itexpects a number so I tried -1, but that didn't work.
    Or is there a better way?
    Thx,
    Nik
    have a Play/Pause button and for it in order to

    Found the answer.
    The code is of course:
    etc. //
    if (mySound.position == undefined) {
    // etc.
    I had a erroe else where.

  • Can I exit from paintComponent?  ...or... how can I check for invalid data?

    I'm writing a calendar applet for a programming class and I've nearly completed it but I'm stuck at checking for valid data.
    What seems to be happening is that paintComponent() is being called before actionPerformed.
    In actionPerformed (when they click the button), it checks to make sure they entered a valid month (1 to 12). If the didn't it dispalys a message, but if they did it calls repaint().
    But even if repaint() isn't called, Java still seems to call it before actionPerformed and I get exceptions.
    So I tried checking inside of paintComponent() by using a simple if(...) return; but that doesn't seem to do anything... it just keeps going through with the method.
    So -- Once the user presses my button I want to make sure the data is valid before repainting the screen. How can I do this?

    I validate it in actionPerformed which is called by
    the action listener... that is what you meant right?
    The problem is that it seems paintComponent() is being
    called before I can validate the data with
    actionPerformed(). I need to stop paintComponent()
    from always being calledMVC. (Model, View, Controller)
    Initially the internal value of the data (the model) should be valid (or null with a check in the paintComponent method)
    paintComponent (the view part) shows the state of the valid data.
    You press the button.
    actionPerformed is called (the controller).
    It checks the value and, if valid, writes it to the data (model), then updates the view.
    At no point will the view have to render invalid data, because the model is only updated after actionPerformed checks the value.
    The pattern may be applied with different classes performing the three roles, or different methods in the same class (sometimes it's easier that way for simple cases).

  • How can I check for directory creation?

    Hi,
    I want to check whether I can create a directory at a particular location.
    Let's say at c:\windows, can create a directory called c:\windows\mydir. But I won't be knowing the parent location (i.e., c:\windows here) at compile time.
    And I would also like to check for creating a directory like c:\windows\mydir1\mydir2 (mydir1 may not even exist).
    What I was doing was, I created the file object for my new directory (i.e., mydir here) and used the canWrite() method on the parent directory. But this method worked only when the parent directory existed. But how can check for a directory path like c:\windows\mydir1\mydir2 where I have to create both mydir1 for mydir2.
    Is there any other methods that I can use to perform this kind of a check.
    Thank you

    I finally figured out a workaround, but i don't know whether this is a good way of checking. :)
    import java.io.File;
    public class TryMKDIRs {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              File file = new File("c:\\mydir1\\mydir2\\mydir3");
              boolean canICreateDir = false;
              if(false == (canICreateDir = file.canWrite())) {
                   System.out.println(file.getAbsoluteFile() + " cannot be created.");
                   File fileparent = file.getParentFile();
                   while(fileparent != null && (canICreateDir = fileparent.canWrite()) == false) {
                        System.out.println(fileparent.getAbsoluteFile() + " cannot be created.");
                        fileparent = fileparent.getParentFile();
              if(canICreateDir) {
                   file.mkdirs();
                   System.out.println("Directory can be created. . .");
    }

  • How can I check for references to previous server and remove them?

    I recently migrated several Win7 PC's off an old sbs2003 box to a new 2012 essentials server.
    All client data is stored on the server in a shared folder and that is mapped to the local PC's.
    Everything has been great, except we have noticed a delay of 10-15 seconds the first time on one PC, the user opens up Word or Excel and clicks on File (to check recent documents) - it goes to "not responding" for 10-15 seconds and then is perfectly
    normal.
    Once the program responds again (and the recent documents appear), there is no longer any delay in opening any of the documents at all.
    If the user goes off and browses the internet for a while and comes back, re-opens Word or Excel again, the same thing happens.
    I've checked what I hope is most stuff, and think I've come down to references on the PC to the old server still.
    Is there a list of registry entries/groups that I should be checking, and are there other places aside of the registry that I should be checking also, so I can be sure that only the new server is referenced?
    Appreciate any guidance please.

    Hi,
    Where is these recent office document located? On your Server?
    Generally speaking, application hungs means its process isn't waiting for Windowsing input. Is other application have similar problem?
    To troubleshoot this problem, firstly, I would like to suggest you using Process Explorer to check Word or Excel's stack. Then check what does its thread waiting for.
    Downlaod Process Explorer:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
    If no use, you can use Process Monitor to monitor the starting process of Word or Excel, then we should be able to find which resource cause hung.
    Download Process Monitor:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    Note: When using Process Monitor to caputer app's trace. Firstly, please set its filter Process Name is Word.exe.
    After that, start work to start monitoring.
    If there is any difficute using these tools, please feel free let us know.

  • HT1752 how can I check for SpyBots and other invasion things on my computer

    I am beginning to have odd things happen to my computer.  Someone told me to check for SpyBots, but I don't know how.  I participate on Blog Talk Radio, and was informed they use these spybot things.  How do I find out if there are invasive things like this affecting my computer?
    In the last 2 days I've had two windows pop up saying I needed to restart the computer.  This has never happened before.  Any help anyone?

    Forget about the advise on the spybots. That person doesn't have the foggiest idea what is going on.
    You are having kernel panics. The most likely casue for kernel panics is hardware problems usually RAM that has gone bad.
    Go to http://thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html for a good procedure on how to find out what is causing the kernel panics.
