Mac is having some problem about shout down, it stops sometimes and i need to turn off . My doubt is 3 weeks ago , i found 2 trojans virus and i have already deleted in the adobe flash , i have already uninstalled it too. Help me

So, I have jus bought it .
I heard that mac is exposed to virus, then i found virus on flash "trojan" .
This sounds is commom? What do I have to do when my computer doesn't work as predictable ?
Do I need to reboot it?
Please help me.

If you elect to install Adobe Flash Player, download it from this site: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If your Mac is not working as expected, please describe the symptoms and include as much detail as possible. The very last thing you should suspect on a Mac is a virus. Installing "anti-virus" junk in an effort to fix your Mac is almost guaranteed to make things worse.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
What do I have to do when my computer doesn't work as predictable ?
Since your Mac is new, you should be contacting AppleCare to discuss any concerns rather than seeking help from strangers on this user-to-user support forum.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgement, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • How do I uninstall McAfee without losing the Adobe Flash Player?

    I purchased a new netbook and it came with a trial version of McAfee.  I don't want to purchase McAfee.  When I ininstalled McAfee the Adobe Flash Player was also deleted.  The Adobe Flash player will not download after McAfee is uninstalled.  This is the stuff of a class action lawsuit!  How do I download the Abode Flash Player after uninstalling the bundled McAfee.  The Adode Flash Player installation page offered no solution that worked.

  • Why does the adobe flash plugin crash whenever I try to view a video file?

    When attempting to view video files, except youtube, the Adobe Flash plugin always (this is consistent) crashes. I have sent numerous crash reports. I have since the problem first occurred updated firefox at least twice and Adobe Flash has been updated the same number of times. I have not always had this problem, but now it is recurring. Note: the plugin does not crash if I use IE.

    hi WDWPhishFan,
    Have you looked at [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] and [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]?
    The first article has a lot of good troubleshooting steps that might help. The second article actual lists a couple of plugins that can be used for opening PDF files. I'd give both of them a try just in case.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How to Disable the Adobe Flash Player and Reader Updates

    Ok, For the last two months or so, I have been plagued by the Adobe Flash Player and Reader updater that will not go away. That's not the worst thing though: Somehow, someway, the Adobe updater subverts my entire windows 7 machine and makes itself the most important program on my system, stopping all other necessary functions. After I just turn it on, the updater will suspend all Windows operations in favor of the updater getting its message out the Adobe "needs" updating. I have tried updating the stupid thing, only to find that after the update goes in, my whole computer locks up and I have to load a system restore point. This thing acts like a virus, and until someone comes up with a way to make it work properly, that's what I'm calling: Adobe creates and sells a computer killing virus. I want a sure fire way to disable the updater that will work, and that will never bug me again about updating the virus. After going through three different computer repair companies, many online forums and chat rooms and my own knowledge of how to disable programs, I have instructed my firewall to block all attempts by Adobe to update. This has to stop.

  • I've used Firefox for years and happily. I attached a logitech camera and dowloaded Skype a few weeks ago when I also loaded iTunes for my iPad. Now the site goes out almost everyday. Can you hel pme?

    I've used Firefox for years and happily. I attached a Logitech camera and downloaded Skype a few weeks ago when I also loaded iTunes for my iPad. Now the site goes out almost everyday. Can you help me?
    I can't undertsand what is going on since the closing has never occurred before.
    I have not written down the incident #s.

    The offer from EE was presumably to fix the phone , which they are entitled to do, you turned it down.
    You can either go back to them and take up their offer to repair or you can try the Nokia warranty which will involve you contacting Nokia direct either by taking it to an authorised/approved Nokia care centre or submitting an online claim under the warranty to Nokia and following whatever instructions they issue for sending the phone to them.
    You have not so far contacted Nokia as you have dealt only with EE.
    I'm surprised the EE assistant told you the phone was being sent to Nokia rather than their inhouse technicians although I think that was simply a mistake on the assistant's part.
    How did you get a PAYG phone from EE? I thought EE were offering contracts only.
    So far as time scales EE don't post phones backwards and forwards on an individual basis. The shops use courier services and the frequency of deliveries and collections will depend on the number of shops in a town and the level of goods going back and forth.

  • Problem with the adobe flash player, its falling down, what to do?

    Its always falling down almost immediately when i hear music. I have tried to update Adobe Flash player and so on. But it still not working, its strange but i have been thinking if Mozilla doesn't ''allow'' the adobe flash player. Do I need maybe change Firefox to something else??

    Is it only the sound or do you have other problems with Flash as well?
    See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
    You can also try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

  • HT4060 I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual

    I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged  my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

    Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

  • I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?

    Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228),  go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
    If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome
