I just got a pop-up that says WARNING You PC maybe INFECTED Call TECH SUPPORT at 1 (888) 370-7851 to clean your computer ... is this from you?

The address this came from is http://urgentwarningforpc.goldeye.info/?c=193&l=633&subid=223347626

No, that's not a message from Firefox or Mozilla. Mozilla doesn't provide support via telephone.
Sounds like Malware on that PC.

  • I keep getting this pop up that says why you no play candy crush is this a virus?

    I keep getting this pop up that says why you no play candy crush is this a virus?  How do I get rid of it?  It has an option to click on cancel or ok.  I keep clicking cancel.

    That's not what it is.  I have just started getting the exact same pop-up, and I am using a 5th gen. iPod Touch.  It can't receive carrier messages, being that it only has WiFi access to the internet.
    What is happening to me is this:  I start playing the TicBits "Sudoku " app.  A couple of minutes into the game, the app starts getting sluggish, and cannot keep up with my fingers... I touch the screen, and it takes longer and longer for the game to respond to my touches while trying to fill in the numbers in the sudoku puzzle.  Eventually, this stupid pop-up interrupts.  If I hit cancel, it might pop up two or three more time in a row.  If I hit OK, it pulls up the app store (I have just immediately hit the home button and restarted the sudoku game up to this point, but I will try to remember to let it take me all the way to the app it is trying to sell next time so I can report back, but I assume it's going to try to get me to download Candy Crush Saga).
    I do not have Candy Crush installed nor do I want to install it).  I am worried that this is some kind of malicious software, given how badly it affects the Sudoku app.  I don't have any interesting information on my iPod Touch for a virus to steal other than the password to my Apple ID when I need to use the App Store or iTunes.
    I have turned off Alerts for all apps other than Clock and Caendar, as I need those for appointment and alarm reminders.  Nothing else should be allowed to use these alert pop-ups.

  • HT1926 When I click "download" a window pops up that says "Thank you for downloading ..." but the QuickTime file is not downloaded.

    Has anyone else run into this problem with downloading QuickTime (When I click "download" a window pops up that says "Thank you for downloading ..." but the QuickTime file is not downloaded.)?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar.  How do I get rid of this?

    You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
    Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root   /Library
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    The next one is in your Home folder.
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    When you're done, try Safari.

    What version of iPhoto do you have installed?  Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
    If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5.  It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

  • Hi! I have had my macbookpro for less than two weeks today. About an hour ago I opened up Safari only to have a pop up that says "Congratulations you are at winner.." etc.  I have tried force quitting and restarting my computer but to no avail. Help!

    Hello!
    I have had my Macbook Pro for less than 2 weeks.  About an hour ago I turned it on and clicked on Safari.  A pop up appeared...the usual "Congratulations! You are the Winner of.." etc etc.  I have not downloaded anything from an unreliable source.  I have quite honestly turned on the computer less than 10 times since getting it.  The pop up prevents me from browsing the internet.
    Please help! I did not think I would run into problems with the laptop so soon.
    Thank you.
    J.

    The Lion OS has a new feature that returns you to a "previous state" the next time an application is opened.
    You can stop this behavior by holding down the option key when quiting an app or hold down the shift key when you launch an app.

  • TS3212 I just installed iTunes (from the apple site) on to my new laptop.  When I click on the icon to open I get a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  Now what do I do and ho

    I just installed iTunes on my new laptop.  When I click on the desktop icon I receive a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.  I can't even find a file on my computer like the one referred to in the pop up.  I am currently considering keeping my old laptop if it is the only way for me to continue to access iTunes.  What should I do to fix this?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

    I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c.  Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring?  (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
    I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything.  It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
    What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?

    Hello there, Brandifoote24.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
    "This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
    This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
    Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
    How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
    You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
    Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
    After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
    Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
    Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I updated my 3GS. It goes through the updating process then at the end a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode and cant finish. My phone has lost everything and doesn't even have the home screen just the iTunes symbol. What can I do?????

    I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do

    sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

  • Just got an e mail to say that my Apple ID was just used to download photoshop touch for phone for 2.99 from the App Store with a receipt number. Is this a scam for me to give my Apple ID?

    Just got an e mail to say that my Apple ID was just used to download photoshop touch for phone for 2.99 from the App Store with a receipt number. Is this a scam for me to give my Apple ID?

    No but there's a link to reset your password. Etc etc..
    This is the email I got.
    "Your Apple ID was just used to download Photoshop Touch for phone £2.99 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
    If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.

    It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
    1. What OS are you running.
    To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
    2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
    To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
    Version number:
    Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?
