I opened a spam email how do i know if it has caused a problem

I opened a spam email and before i could delete it it went.  Also,
when i had a financial page open on the internet, it looked like asomeone was trying to read it with a magnifying glass??

I would consider your SIN stolen. See this page:  http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/sin/lost/lost.shtml . One thing mentioned is that you should have your credit record flagged as at risk for fraudulent activity - do that tomorrow.
Not knowing exactly what happened, I would bring up another web browser, and see if you get the same reaction on the bank web site. If you use Safari, you might choose one of these three (not listed in any particular order):
chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome
firefox: http://www.firefox.com
opera: http://www.opera.com
If you don't get the same large circle whipping around, then assume that your other browser is compromised, and don't use it. Any of the web browsers above can bring bookmarks over, but don't bring cookies or anything else over. If in doubt, don't bring anything from the previous web browser.
If you get the same odd behavior on the web site, please post back. 
Also, go into system preferences, click security, then the firewall tab, and ensure the firewall is on. Then click advanced, and make sure that stealth mode is checked.

  • I opened a website that said that all of my files had been encrypted. A popup appeared and asked if I wanted to leave the page, but when I tried to, it wouldn't let me.  How do I know if this is a real problem or not?

    I was researching information for a class and I clicked on a website that said that all of my files had been encrypted.  A popup appeared and asked if I wanted to leave the page but when I tried to, it would let me.  I had to force quit Safari in order to do so.  How do I know if this is a real problem or not? 

    It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    3. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select

  • How do I know if someone has submitted a form?

    How do I know if someone has submited a form, Do I get e-mailed?

    Hi;
    You can get emailed if you have a "Paid" level account, there is an "Email Notifications" feature that you enable on the "Options" tab for email notifications.  If you are using a Free account there is no notification and you would have to sign into your FormsCentral account to see when there are new responses, the existing/new response count is shown for each form on the My Forms tab as well as of course in the "View Responses" tab of the form.
    Thanks,

  • How do I know if I have a wifi problem with my new iPad 3 (it seems very slow) and how does one address the problem with apple if there is one?

    I just read about the possible issue that some folks are having with their new iPad wifi (my seemed to be running very slowly but I thought that perhaps it was just me overreacting).  How do I know if I have a definite problem, and what is my recourse?  Do I need to take it to an Apple store for testing?  I have apple care which I assume addresses stuff like this.  Thoughts?  Thx so much.

    Your iPad is covered by the normal warranty for one year. If you have AppleCare that extends the coverage. If you feel there is a problem with your wifi reception visit an Apple store with your iPad for a consultation. Be sure to make an appointment before you go.

  • I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files.  I keep getting the error "Copying files failed.  The file name was invalid or too long".  How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

    I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files.  I keep getting the error "Copying files failed.  The file name was invalid or too long".  How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

    BUMP
    Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
    I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
    In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
    Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
    Can anybody help me?

  • How to fix "Adobe RoboHelp 7 has encountered a problem" error?

    I am using Adobe RoboHelp 7 to create WebHelp, with Windows XP. I haven't worked on my help project for about 10 days, and suddenly when I try to open the project I get this message: "Adobe RoboHelp 7 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Other help projects DO open, so it's something about this one. I went to the TechNote called "Troubleshoot system errors and freezes in RoboHelp 7 (Windows XP)" and followed its first steps: downloaded all the updates for RoboHelp 7, installed current Windows service packs (except for IE 8, which gave me a problem last time I tried to install it), and deleted temporary files. None of these solved the problem. Now I am defragmenting my disk, but I don't have much hope for that.
    Can anyone help? I'm near the end of my project and am under time pressure to make some changes!
    Thank you!

    It is very rare for a project not to open after renaming the CPD and when it does, the HHP is the fallback. I cannot recall a project failing to open from the HHP, albeit with some damage.
    As Willam says, I think you are going to have to look at the article on my site.
    Many files have names based on the project name. Are they all correctly named? What I am getting at is whether a filename has got out of sync.

  • How do I know which block has been changed in Master/Detail

    Hi,
    I have master detail blocks. How do I know which block has been changed?
    I used :SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS. It only gave me "Changed" or "Query". but didn't tell me which block has been changed in MASTER or DETAIL.

    I believe if :system.form_status != 'QUERY' you'll need to loop through through the blocks checking :system.block_status to see who changed. Of course you'd have to go_block() before checking the status.

    AS SOON AS the problem happens, disable the last addon you enabled. That one is the culprit. You can now enable all the others, if needed.

    does the device state here alike the status field which you spoke about? and if so, can I assume my device is ok and the BSOD didn't occur from it\ from its driver?

  • BT primary account sending spam emails - how do I ...

    Hi can someone help. A few weeks ago my old BT primary address started sending spam (I had accessed it only to delete the hundreds of spam emails - the reason why I switched to google by the way!).  I changed all my passwords. Today my friends and family have informed me that they have started to receive them again but I haven't been on my PC for a week or accessed this account.
    Please can someone to tell me how to get rid of this email address altogether, do I even need one as my login and contact email address is now the google one? Can the email address be prevented from sending any mail.
    Thanks Sara

    Hi Sara. Welcome to the forums.
    Go back into the primary email account and change the password again - make it something obscure, but remember it. You can make up an easy one by say taking the first character of the first dozen words in chapter one of the nearest book. Keep that book somewhere close, and don't say what the book is on facebook or other social networks or to your friends on text etc!
    Remove all the contacts from the mail system, that way any spammer/hacker who happens to get into your account can't email anyone.
    Do you know if your contacts get the same email at the same time ? Have you responded to any emails that seem to be BTinternet asking for username, email address, password etc ? If you get any of these, just delete them.
    You need a primary email address, as that comes with the service. I believe a sub account (if you have any) can be promoted to be a primary email address, or indeed have a new primary altogether. You need to contact the Mods to find out (click on one of their names for the contact info).
    The email address itself isn't sending mail, it is being done by someone or something. If your friends/relatives still have an email pretending to come from you, then the email headers will show where it has come from specifically. However these details need to be checked. It's a bit complex to get the headers, so perhaps we can leave that for now - though if you wish I can give the information on how to get them, and perhaps sent to me to check.

    (Looked like spam or contained a virus)
    how can I change this.

    What email service are you using? 
    Are you using a web based email service (such as yahoo or gmail), Microsoft Outlook, or an email app from your mobile phone? If so, which one are you using.
    Did you happen to set up an allowed senders list with ePrint? If so, any emails that are not on that allowed senders list will automatically be rejected as spam.

  • CUDA-OPEN CL IS ENABLED - How would I know?

    After backing up my working OS, I attempted to try latestSG updates with Mavericks.
    I know, what was I thinking...?
    Mac Pro Early 2009
    32 Gigs Ram
    CUDA Version 5.5.28
    Nvidia GTX 285
    Mavericks
    SGworks ok with native SG - LUTs and masks dont kill playback. Lots of caching.
    Is it using open CL?
    THE QUESTION: HOW WOULD I KNOW IF IT IS?
    How can we check if GPU is being ultilised? Unlike all AE,PP, ME and proper adobe apps, SG doesnt give me any indication of whats going on.  This is rubbish.
    If I grade same clip via Direct link plays back at one fame per second.. 
    Sending a DL'ed grade back to premiere give me no image, just a 'Media Pending Link' - unless I turn off the embedded Lumetri effect.
    Could anyone tell me what CUDA drivers I might roll back to to get this working?
    I mean, it was tested with a specific set of 'current' drivers, right?
    sidenote: After Effects CC also refuses to utilise this card, which is plenty fast for most things.

    Same test with Mountain Lion
    Mac Pro Early 2009
    32 Gigs Ram
    CUDA Version 5.5.28
    Nvidia GTX 285
    Using CUDA in PP, playback was leagues better than Open CL. But still crappy with any sort of mask in play.
    Using Direct Link within Speedgrade with Single Primary layer is great.... but utterly unusuable if you add masks. (who does that eh?)
    Even if you add empty grading/adjustment layers playback also nosedives, so the hope I had of isolating my masks on separate adjustment layers doesnt help, as it makes working in SG terrible.
    You cant really crossfade multiple SG adjustment layers in PP, as  the vignettes need to be the same group as the grade for the transition to act it properly (or nested, but that's not the point of this workflow).
    When you talk about using Nvidia Cuda GPU accelaration not being available for Speedgrade, how does impact on it's use along the whole pipeline? You need to be clear about where Cuda/CL impacts on performace, and not waste everyone's time discovering the grizzly truth. How many posts are reporting the same problems, again and again.
    What if you are outputting your graded edit in Premiere to AME (which also has CUDA/CL options?  If I render SG graded edits in AME from Premiere - using Open CL adds about 50% to the rendering times. 
    Despite having 32gigs of available ram, SG insists on caching to disk - why?
    Admit that the performace using masks is Direct Mode is not ready for production, and stop trying to pretend it is.
    Update the information links on this forum, as many are out of date, or point to previous versions.

  • I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

    I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.
