I get pop up requests to upgrade Growl. In applications, folder called: com.growl.growlhelperapp. In folder: cache.dbd  What is going on?

Sounds like you do not use Growl. You could just uninstall it.

  • Virus for macbook pro warning.  ran software and didn't detect anything buy i keep getting pop ups

    i had a virus warning for my macbook pro.  ran anti virus software but nothing was detected.  however i keep getting pop ups.

    You Mac does not have any viruses as there are no viruses for MacOSX. What you have a malware scam. Did you download MacDefender, or MacProtector? To get rid of them, open activity monitor and look for the process MacDefender, or MacProtector, double click the process and force quit. Go to system preferences to accounts, login items and remove MacDefender, or MacProtector by highlighting it and hitting the minus sign. Go to your applications folder and drag MacDefender or MacProtector to the trash. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender or MacProtector trash any related files. Do the same with a Spotlight search, it is the little magnyfing glass far top right in the menubar. Lastly, go open finder, select your user folder, go to library then loo in aoplication support and remove MacDefender or Mac Protector from there, close that folder then go to preferences and remove any preference file for MacDefender or MacProtector. Hope this helps.

  • I use MacIntosh, system 10.5.8. But I keep getting pop-ups . I have tried to install Firefox and it responds saying it is not compatible with my systems architecture. What should I do to stop the pop-up?

    I use G4 MacIntosh, System 10.5.8. I keep getting pop-ups asking me to upgrade my version of Firefox. But when I try to install I get the message that Firefox cannot operate with my computers architecture. How can I stop the pop-ups?

    I believe Firefox 4 is Intel only. That means it will not install on a PPC Mac. You can get TenFourFox, which is made for PPCs.

  • I keep getting pop ups to enter apple Id and password

    I keep getting pop ups to enter apple I'd and password

    Do NOT click on popups or webpages offering updates to Firefox.
    You appear to be posting from something other than Firefox (Internet Explorer ?)
    Are you able to post a screenshot, it is probably a scam.
    * [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] <br /> (Please use a .jpeg or .png type compressed image; not some massive high resolution bitmap)
    (Note AFAIK Firefox is soon to start a campaign to upgrade outdated versions but even that will be through the ordinary Firefox interface not through popups)
    Please see

  • I keep getting pop ups saying that my subscription has expired? I have paid and have credit because this has happened before and I paid 3 times. Can I just download the programs rather than pay a monthly charge?

    I keep getting pop ups that say my subscription has expired? I have paid and have credit because this has happened before and i paid 3 times. Can I just buy a download instead of paying a monthly subscription?

    We often find this happens when the wrong software gets run (so the subscription doesn't apply).
    So,to start with  what exactly is your subscription for - please check your account details and confirming email?

    If you haven't already, update iTunes. Also, remove any old iTunes plug-ins.

  • I keep getting pop ups from spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else.

    I keep getting pop ups from your spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else. It is extremely annoying.

    Mozilla Firefox does '''not''' support/endorse/encourage spyware advertisers.
    If you think these popups are from spyware advertisers, you should try to scan and remove the spyware from your system. This article has more information on how to do that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked#Spyware_on_Windows Spyware on Windows].
    In future, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus Adblock Plus add-on] to block such ads.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

    Contact your carrier and have them re-set your voice mail password. Once they do, you should only have to enter it once. Then you won't be prompted again.

    I accidentally erased my keychain passwords, how can I replace it?  ( I was in the keychains folder on the password link when i pressed delete). I thought I was deleting one account but it deleted everything.  I now keep getting pop-ups asking me for a keychain password...which I don't remember ever creating.

    Try running Keychain Access/First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

  • Did someone make Adware for Safari!!? Getting pop-ups!!

    I have two websites that I have set to open all the time. MacRumors and my local TV station. All of a sudden I've been getting the same kind of pop-ups on both sites. I emailed each and they said that there shouldn't be any pop-ups. I don't block pop-ups because I need them for Fed-Ex shipping. I started going to some other sites that I frequent and I'm still getting these random pop-ups that I never got before. I think I have some app in my mac that's doing this. Anyone know how to figure it out?

    I never got a chance to test changing the DNS Servers because the pop-ups suddenly stopped. But I noticed a big slow down in my web surfing. Pages loading really slow so I started researching and actually changed my DNS Servers to openDNS (your suggestion) I actually changed my router first and then I saw those same openDNS numbers come up in my computer so I thought all was well. I tried surfing and it was still slow so I went back into network prefs and the servers back to 85.255.115.27 and 85.255.112.217!! I'm just leaning about this stuff so I don't know if that's normal. Anyway I hit the plus button and add the OpenDNS numbers to the list. The 85.255.112.217 were greyed out so I couldn't hit the minus button and remove them. I found that interesting because the OpenDNS site says to write down and delete the old numbers.
    By accident I noticed that I have this message showing up every minute in my Console Messages log:
    com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10bfb0.cron5126): Could not setup Mach task special port 9: (os/kern) no access
    So I started looking into that and found this in a forum:
    "I did a bit of research, and there don't appear to be any figuring out exactly WHY cron is generating an error for launchd, but it does appear to match each time a cron job is run. On my system it was happening every minute.
    However, the reason cron was running every minute, was to run the following script:
    * * * * \"/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime.xpt\">/dev/null 2>&1
    The '* * * * *' says to run every minute, and the script is a trojan, which may or may not affect your internet connection. It attempts to redirect your DNS (domain name service) to a pair of servers in eastern europe.
    If you have this entry in your crontab, or particularly in your root crontab, delete the script, and another script in the same directory 'plugins.settings', then delete the crontab entry. If you want more info, do a google search on 'QuickTime.xpt' and you've find more than you ever wanted to know.
    To check for the crontab entry, use 'sudo crontab -l' (that's a lowercase "L") from a terminal, and if the entry is there, and nothing else, just delete the crontab file via 'sudo crontab -r' and if there are other lines you wish to keep, use 'sudo crontab -e' to edit the crontab file. Knowledge of 'vi' or 'emacs' may be required to edit the file. If you don't know what any of this means, please ask for help from a local Mac expert, a unix expert, or your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.
    Hope this helps someone. I'm glad I took the time to sort this out."
    So now I'm wondering if I have a trojan or if those DNS numbers were from embarq?
