Insert Software Dreamweaver 8 Disc and Adware Warning Pops Up
Hi All,
When installing Dreamweaver 8 onto my computer (either in XP mode virtual box or Windows 7 professional), a pop up reads : a virus or unwanted program adware/adware.gen was found in the e:\autorun.exe
This warning happens immediately as soon as I insert the disc into my laptop. Is this normal or is this bad software?
I purchased this from someone on Ebay. This Dreamweaver 8 was said to be new and with a factory sealed package. It all was packaged up with plastic and seemed brand new as stated.
Am I supposed to temporarily disable my Avira Antivirus program while I do the install or do you think this program is somehow been hacked and then packaged up?
Sorry to bother you all on a simple question like this but I don't know if I should tell the Ebay guy it's malicious software or not.
Thanks for you help on this,
~Tamara
Nancy,
Thanks for your feedback. Now I know that it should not cause an "AV warning" as you put it.
This was the ebay guys response:
Yes this was purchased directly from adobe. I bought 4. Never used 2. Sold you and someone else brand new unopened dream weaver product and have received positive feedback from them within the last week. The other 2 programs have also worked flawlessly at my business.
The auto run problem with adware sounds like something is downloaded on your computer that disrupts downloading software.
I would never buy software that was out of the package but it was a factory sealed Dreamweaver 8 so I assumed it had to be okay. All looks brand new on it to, the shrink wrap, everything.
My reason for purchasing it is that I've been using it all these years and upgraded to new computer. The learning curve for CS5 sounded more than I had time for at the moment. I had read that certain parts of websites created in Dreamweaver 8 might have to be redone or tweeked in CS5. Just using the old Dreamweaver sounded like relief to me at the moment and then upgrade when I have time.
But I would like to know about "a lot has changed in web standards." Are my websites not loading or working in some browsers correctly because of using the older Dreamweaver software? Haven't noticed anything not working when I go to my websites on my new Windows 7 computer.
I appreciate your advice. Does the line the guy gave me above sound remotely like it could be true?
Sincerely,
Tamara

I used to be able to burn a selection of photos from my iPhoto library onto a CD-R disc. Today I inserted a new blank disc and was shown a message that there was insufficient space for my chosen year of photos. Even when I reduced the date to include only ONE photo!- the message was the same. I am at a loss as to why, and what to do. My iMac is about 7 years old and upgraded to Snow leopard. Any bright ideas?

When burning a CD-R, the OS first creates a 'shadow' disk image that replicates what the CD will look like, then it copies that data to the CD-R itself. Therefore you need enough free space on your internal drive to create this temporary image. If your internal hard drive is full you won't be able to create the shadow, and that could be what you're seeing.
If the OP's disk is too full to permit the creation of a 700MB disk image, it's a wonder that the computer is functioning. -
Question -- try to burn a disc and get "Indexing" pop up and nothing happens
I created a video and burned a disc -- no problem. Now I edited the film by adding some still pictures and music. Now I try to burn a disc and I get the pop up window that says Indexing. Nothing happens even if I let it go for an hour. How can I burn a disc? I made sure the quality level matched the disc size so it would fit.

Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized.
Have decided to un-install Parallels as this was slowing my machine down... Windows was working fine until I uninstalled Parallels.. now I can't even get Boot Camp to recognise my Windows Disc.. .iso file (which is on a formatted FAT USB drive Touro 1Tb)... if I click on setup.exe directly from Finder.. I keep getting "You can’t open the application “setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
I've tried uploading bootcamp5 but that doesn't work either.
the screenshots shown in all the manuals don't even look the same as the instructions on my screen..
where do i go from here.?I would suggest that you watch
some of the youtube step by step guides

I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?
All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

screen saver does not turn on. Have run the disc utility to repair disc permissions. Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Get "no bootable device- insert boot disc and hit any key" error
Hp G72 Laptop, Windows 7 64 bit,
"no bootable device-insert boot disc and hit any key" (I have no boot disc.)
I was in the process of replacing the hard drive and the computer was starting the final phase after copying all files. When it restarted the first time, I got the message. I was getting this message randomly prior to replacing the hard drive and if I turned it off for 2 or 3 hours and turned back on I would not get the message. The reason for replacing the hard drive was a "Smart Disc " imminent failure error message.Yes and yes. The final recovery disc had completed and it was moving to the next phase. It said the computer would restart several times during this phase and when it went to the first restart, the error message came up and I could proceed no further. I ctrl/alt/del and restarted, pressed escape to get the start-up menu but was lost at all the options. The information screen looked like the old hard drive info.

I have a photo cd from photographer that was burned on a mac but it will not open on my mac. It goes in, makes some noise, then ejects. My system pref. is set to open iPhoto when a photo cd is inserted. She has sent me 2 disc and both do the same thing. Any ideas?
NOt an iPhoto issue - either a bad CD or a bad Superdrive on your computer - no way for us to tell try the CD in a different computer

I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?There's an old saying. If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup. That's just lesson #1. Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update. Not a good thing.
OK, I'm sure you know this. It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
You're pretty much in a bad place. My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed). You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps. I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
Good luck. -

How do I go about installing software from a disc (a language programme) onto my ipad2? Someone told me if I downloaded it to iTunes on my PC I could then sync it to the iPad but hav not been able to do that.
Even if there was a convenient way, the software will not run on the pad. Ios is a unique language, and only programs written for ios will run on the pad. All of the programs are in the app store. You might look there and see if the company that makes your sfotware also has an ios version, which would be in the store.

I just upgraded OS from 10.4.1 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I tried to open Reason 4 it asks for me to insert a disc and prompts me to enter my ID for permission. What can I do?
First off, you can't have upgraded from 10.4.1, as that won't run on a MacBook. 10.4.4 is minimum. 10.4.10, and 10.4.11 are different from 10.4.1.
Secondly, it appears Reason 4.0.1 is needed for 10.6:

There may be other upgrades on:

Check with the developers in question if they are aware of any bugs in the upgrade process. -

i have inserted a disc in my remote disc and it is not working and even i am trying to eject the disc but it is not working ? what to do ?
Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one.
In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry -
New laptop purchased. Now need to install Adobe software onto it. However, I cant find the discs and my new laptop doesnt have a CDrom...
If you registered CS4 then you might be able to find the serial number for it in your Adobe account online. If not, you still might be able to get someone in chat to assist you with getting it.
