I need to know how to search for malware files, apple told me to contat you, I am getting popup and malicious warnings and need to talk with someone please

I began getting popups for Microsoft malware alerts/Mackeeper zeobits/and othe ads. I am on a Mac OS 8.5.
I downloaded virus protection, adware protection and ran them all and got nothing. Then I got a phoney call from the "microsoft technicians, so called Applecare and they told me what files to search for if it was Safari and suggested I contact Firefox. Below are the files we search for on my hard drive, but because I use Firefox
they suggested I contact you as I am somewhat concerned. Can you help advise, thanks

    This is a peer-to-peer community.
    All people responding are user just like you.
    However, many of are users have solved many problems for other blackberry users in need of assistance.
    If you see you haven't been responded to in a long time, just reply 'bump' on the same thread you originally posted.
    The term 'bump' is used because a thread remaining unanswered usually moes down the list and gets lost in older pages. By replying to a post, it gets moved ("bumped") back to the top of the first page of that category.
    If you see a solution to your problem, feel free to mark it as a solution. Also you can thank the user who helped you or give him a 'kudo'. A 'kudo' is the little star found underneath the avatar (picture) of the user. It's like giving them credit for the work they did.

  • I need to know how best to import .mod files into elements 7

    I need to know how best to import .mod files into elements 7

    lornamarieslade
    Are you working with .mod standard or widescreen?
    If .mod standard, less problematic. The file just might import without issue. Worst case would probably be changing the file extension from .mod to .mpg just prior to import.
    Now .mod widescreen is another story that revolves around maintaining the 16:9 flag that scretches the video for display after encoding. Some have said that the 16:9 flag is lost in the transfer to computer; some say certain editors such as Premiere Elements just cannot read/recognize the flag. Whatever the case this is what you should consider in your Premiere Elements 7 Windows.
    a. If you need to rename the file extension from .mod to .mpg, do so prior to import.
    b. Import the .mod or .mpg counterpart into your Premiere Elements 7 project using the project preset NTSC or PAL DV Widescreen (NTSC or PAL depends on your location of interest). You will probably see that the video does not fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor (you will probably see standard 4:3 looking image rather than widescreen 16:9 looking image).
    c. Right click the file in the Project media area, select Interpret Footage, and, in the Interpret Footage Dialog/Pixel Aspect Ratio section, dot the Conform To: and change the setting to
    D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
    or
    D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
    depending on your location of interest.
    A while back there used to be a program called SD Copy that did the job of file name change and adding the 16:9 flag prior to import of the .mod widescreen into Premiere Elements. But, I have lost track of the SD Copy and suspect that is it no longer available. I have dealt with this issue many times at a forum that I formerly frequent. Most have reported back that this workaround worked for them. It is worth a try. I am looking forward to your results.
    If you do opt to upgrade to Premiere Elements 11 Windows (please go tryout before purchase), I am eager to learn how your .mod widescreen is handled by version 11 in your computer environment.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...I just came across this download for SDCopy. It does not give the appearance of the original the link to which is broken. I have not downloaded and used the following since I do not have any .mod widescreen. So, no guarantees. Please let us know the outcome if you try it if Interpret Footage does not work for you.

  • How to search for a file?

    Hi I am currently using the below code to detect a file automaticaly in a thumbdrive. So currently I have to state the path directory to detect the particular file. Is there a way to search for the file in the thumbdrive using Java?
    public class Detect {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    File f = new File("f:\\");
    while (! f.exists())
    try { Thread.sleep(500); }
    catch (InterruptedException e) {}
    System.out.println("drive inserted!");
    }

    You'll need to recursively search through a top directory and all its subdirectories for all files. Here is a link how to do this.
    http://www.javapractices.com/Topic68.cjp
    You can search for all drives A through Z for the file (using something like new File("F:") and catching the exception if not found (and dont do anything with the exception). But exclude C and D drive since they are usually hard drives and take forever to search through. Also, you may want to use File.separator instead of '/" or '\' in your code since windowsXP uses one while Unix uses the other and you would want your code to be able to run on either operating system.
    Are you building a web page with this? if so, it will not work since your search code would be running on the server and not on the client's machine. Even if you were able to run it on the client machine via his browser, you cant because of security reasons (end users dont want to give you access to thier drives). If its a web page, look into file upload html tag called <input type="file". This allows the end-user to navigate on his machine to where the file is and download it without you having to search for it.
    If you writing an application instead of a web page, I think there is an applet you can use that will do the same thing as <input type="file".
    Searching though a directory structure isn't good since it takes too long for users t wait.

  • How to search for a file and copy it to somewhere else in terminal

    So basically how can I search for a file on my computer named "testingtesting.txt" and copy it to my desktop using terminal? I have very little experience in terminal, so I was going to try and use the mdfind command, then store that output as a variable, and use that variable as the source for the cp command, but I feel like there is probably a much simpler method. So basically how could I find a file named "testingtesting.txt", copy it, and paste it to my desktop using terminal.

    Is there any particular reason that you must use Terminal?
    You could just download the free EasyFind from the App Store and find the file quickly. Do whatever you wish with it.
    Good luck,

    No. The attached is the simplest way of modifying it to do as you want. I've
    sped things up a little to make it obvious.

    You already are. You're making the arrays as you go along so only the memory
    needed for the data that's in the plot is in use at any one time. To do it
    without storing
    arrays at all you'd need to keep retrieving the data from
    the XYgraph, adding the new datapoint and writing it back. Messy and I
    suspect incredibly inefficient.
    You're going to use the memory in any case- a better option would be to
    pre-initialise an array and fill it slowly. At the end of each 24 hour block
    zap all the data and start again without destroying and recreating the
    arrays. Or if you're only doing the 24 hour wipes to save memory, simply
    start again at the start of the buffer woithout erasing the previous data
    and you always have 24 hours of data to liik at once the system's running.
    Do a search for keywords like "pre initialise" or "circular buffer" on
    ni.com

  • How to SEARCH for specific file TYPES, e.g. PDF?

    If I know the title has in it "resume" and I know it's a PDF, how do you search for all PDF files that have the word "resume" in the title?
    AND..
    How would you search all PDF files that had the word "supervisor" inside the document?
    Thanks

    Command F should do it. Once the search window appears, you should see a drop down box headed kind and next to it one headed any. Select PDF from the any one. Click the plus button, and another field will appear and you can see again more drop down boxes. You just want to set these up so you end up with name and contains, you can then add your text to the remaining field.

  • How to search for all files w Metadata mismatch?

    I Upgraded recently from LR2.6 to 3.3.
    Many of my images have an Exclamation Mark on them, following the upgrade, informing me that there is a Metadata Mismatch...
    When I click on it I get this Dialogue box:
    Firstly I think LR developers are playing with potentially important information with a lack of care and consideration. I looked at the metadata in 'File Info' in Photoshop before clicking anything: the creation date was the date the file was created and much of the camera data was missing. After I clicked Overwrite Settings all the original data was back on the file. I have no idea how this came to pass exactly, but it shows metadata is an easily lost thing.
    If Adobe care about their customers I would think they would make it more clear what was at stake here!
    Secondly I would like to know if there is a way to search for all images with this issue to save me having to go through and do it one by one, possibly thousands of times?

    I am not sure what the meaning of different values in column sidecarStatus and externalXmpIsDirty mean. This is what I've found out by trial and error:
    sideCarStatus = 1 seems to mean "Settings have changed in Catalog compared to XMP"
    sideCarStatus = 7 seems to be OK
    externalXmpIsDirty = 1 seems to mean "Settings have changed in XMP compared to Catalog"
    sideCarStatus = 1 AND externalXmpIsDirty = 1seems to be a Metadata Conflict
    The meaning of sideCarStatus > 1 is unknown to me
    I usually run the query and then look at the single images reported in LR.
    IMHO, this metadata matching is one of the weaker points in LR. I have encountered several conflict situations where I can be 100% sure I have not changed anything on the image outside of LR, and I have "Automatically write Changes to XMP" active. So a conflict should never arise.

  • How to search for a file faster?

    Whether you are searching for a particular file or searching within all the files then putting 10,000,000 file in a single directory looks (to me) to be silly!
    If you just want to find a particular file then why not build an index (say in a simple database). If you want to search within all the files then some directory tree structure will stop Java having to load into memory the whole of your directory content.

  • How to search for a file at application server?

    Hi,
    I need to choose one file for further processing from the directory, located into 'WORK' directory at application server. As far as I see, class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and FILE_OPEN_DIALOG woudn't help me - it's a 'FRONTEND_SERVICES'.... and work with directories at presentation server.
    The requirement is that the user has no file sharing from his local PC to the mentioned directory at application server - this directory is visible only in the scope of the application server. I need something as flexible as CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG, if exist.
    How can I achieve this?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ivaylo Mutafchiev

    Thanks to all contributors!
    After short testing I found the following:
    1. F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION is not what I was looking for - it doesn;t behave as expected.
    2. FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING would help if I need the result into an internal table (thsi would be a case too), but it doesn;t prompt for selection. Helpful, anyway.
    3. /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE is the closest match to the requirements.
    Thanks to all.
