Is there problem with Sophos Antivirus? I just received an Apple warning message saying "send it to trash"

I am using a Macbook-Pro running Maverick. I just got a message on the screen "Sophos AntiVirus will damage your computer and you should send it to Trash". It looks like a genuine Apple warning message. Is it genuine? Has anyone else had such a message?

I them installed Avast and ran a complete scan with that. It reported that there're no infected files, which makes me wonder about Avast.
And indeed you should wonder about Avast, but not for that reason. There's no reason at this point to think you have any malware on your computer, so I would not expect it to find anything.
However, Avast has a serious problem with false positives, even detecting a particular system file as malicious sporadically since 2009 at least. Worse, the current version of Avast includes an unmentioned adware feature. See:
Avast installs adware!
The solution to this problem is not more anti-virus software.

Igoogle is my home page, but when I choose to see the weather forecast I must select my city every time I open mozilla 'cause it won't save it.Plus I have a problem with windows media player, it won't install, error message says internal problem.

I have tried to solve this problem myself, by checking the cookies settings and staff. Everything seems to be ok. But it isn't.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

Is there problems with the network/signal in TA3 Taunton area

Is there problems with the network/signal in the TA3 Taunton area I have not had a signal all day and then to make contact with one of my children regarding school pick up.

Unfortunately so. Spoke to EE today and the service may take up to 72 hours to get back to normal - which is unbelievable given how much we use our phones for day to day life! As they cannot do anything for us, to thank us for our patience they are asking us to monitor when the service resumes and get back to them (no doubt on their £ per min line) and let them know and they’ll credit us for the down time. Just Brilliant!!

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX. I JUST WANT THE SPACE FOR OTHER SERVICE.

Is there problems with iOS 6?

Is there problems with iOS 6? My imessages seem not to send and my safari is shaky. Just see the circle moving but nothing ever comes up. Text messages send in SMS and that's it. Ever since the update!! What's up and are these issues being addressed?

Have you tried to reset your device by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

Problem with Append mode in File Receiver

Hello,
I am facing some problem with Append Mode in File Receiver.
In channel config, i have given :
Construction Mode : Append
File Type : Text
Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
The size of the file which i am trying to send is about 9.5MB.
I got this error,
"Recovering from loss of connection to database; message
loaded into queue by recover job: System Job (Failover Recovery)".
So, it would seem that there was a loss of connnection to the database
while the file was being written.
Note - XI successfully recovered from the connection loss and
successfully wrote the file, however since the communication channel
was set to append, it appended to the partial file that was written
before the database connection loss. This is not correct. The file
should have been overwritten after the recovery even though the communication
channel was configured to append.
Can anyone help me on this regard.
Thanks,
Soorya.

Hi Venkat,
I would suggest u to split the file in to chunks if u face any problem in processing at a time in append mode and also
Memory Requirements are must 4 processing huge files:
Q: Which memory requirements does the File Adapter have? Is there a restriction on the maximum file size it can process?
A: The maximum file size that can be processed by the File Adapter depends on a number of factors:
o The most important one is the size of the Java heap, which is shared among all messages processed at a certain point in time. In order to be able to process larger messages without an out of memory error (OOM), it is recommended to increase the size of the available Java heap and/or to reduce the concurrency in the system so that fewer messages are processed in parallel.
o Another factor negatively influencing the maximum message size in releases up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13 is an enabled charcter set (encoding) conversion if the message type is set to "Text".
o Using the transport protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" also uses more memory for processing than the transport protocol "File System (NFS)" (up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13).
o If the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion" is used in a File Sender channel, consider that not only the size of the input file affects the File Adapter's memory usage, but even more the size of the XML resulting from the conversion, which is usually a few factors larger than the original plain text file.
To reduce the memory consumption in this scenario, consider configuring the setting "Maximum Recordsets per Message" for the sender channel. This will cause the input file to be split into multiple smaller mesages.
Plz do refer the following links:
U may plan the availability of ur communication channel using "Planning Availability Times" feature

Problem with internet. When i open System preferences, Network, message drops down: 'your network settings have been changed by another application'. I click OK, but it drops a message again and again, preventing me to do anything about the setting.

Problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter

Hi All
I have a problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter.
This is my recordset structure: Header_Record,1,Claim_Record,*,Check_Rec,1
These are the content conversion parameters:
Header_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Header_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Claim_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Claim_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Check_Rec.fieldSeparator = ,
Check_Rec.endSeparator = 'nl'
In SXMB_MONI, i can see that the data is correctly extracted from proxy, and correctly mapped to receiver message, and i see a checkered flag (success).
But, Adapter status is RED with the following error message:
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter '1.fieldFixedLengths' or '1.fieldSeparator' is missing
In communication channel monitoring, i get the following error message:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages
What is going wrong here? Can anyone please tell me?
Thanks
Chandra

Hey 1Jerry,
Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS2755 I am having a problem with getting notified when I receive a call or a text. My phone will not ring or vibrate.

Hi BigBroMAC,
The first thing I would check is Do Not Disturb mode, as this will cause that behavior:
iOS 6: Using Do Not Disturb
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463
If that isn't the issue, this article has slightly different symptoms but the troubleshooting would be the same:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
Before you do step 10, however, I recommend resetting all settings to see if that helps. To do that, choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
I hope this helps!

Hi
I've just reset my iPhone 4s as I was planning to sell it on. After the normal stuff you see on a reset I've been left with a phone that just has the apple logo on the black screen and it appears to be frozen and wont do anything?? any ideas?
I've tried holding down top button and round button which makes it go off but as soon as you push top button again it comes back and again its frozen.
Thanks for any ideas in advance?
