Well I've done some more research. It's a trojan/malware. My sister's PC got infected with it last night as well.

Unfortunately most sites are mentioning PC ways to remove it. I've googled some AV/malware programs for Macs, they're pretty scarce. I'm running some on my computer right now. So far only tracker cookies have been found though.

Problems with Photoshop CS2
I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

How to i get back microsoft Windows xp after trashing it on my mac
Help! How do I get back Microsoft Windows XP after trashing it on my Mac?
XP is 'dead' without support from Microsoft or Apple and with Mavericks you want Windows 7 64-bit OEM or 8.1.

Can I use Windows based DW cs4 files on a Mac with an Apple based DW program?
Have been using DW cs4 with Windows Vista. Buying a Mac soon and am wondering if I can use those files on a Mac with an Apple version on DW?. Thank you
I would just save a copy of the local site folder and the .ste on a thumb drive and copy them over to the new machine.
You don't have to export it directly onto the thumb/flash drive or anything. Actually, you don't "need" the .ste at all.
The only reason to make the .ste file is to transfer over your site-specific settings (like FTP credentials) without having to re-type/re-select everything, it doesn't copy any actual site files over.
Once the site files are copied over, you can just go to Site > New to set up the new site. Rather than going to a new blank folder, you would set the Local Root Directory to the newly copied site folder. -

Folder %USERPROFILE%\Appdata\local\Microsoft\Windows\caches created everywhere
Everywhere in all folders that I access a new (empty) folder is created called:
%USERPROFILE%\Appdata\local\Microsoft\Windows\caches
Apparently some application/service is not able to resolve %USERPROFILE%. Which application is it and what is the cause?Hi,
Could you please share more information with me? I don't quite understand this issue
"Everywhere in all folders that I access a new (empty) folder is created called:
%USERPROFILE%\Appdata\local\Microsoft\Windows\caches"
Or you can share some screenshots with us.
What is the result if you manually delete it?

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right? I have Mac OS X. I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011. Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???
Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate. The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim.
You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business. The caller will eventually hang up.
But your analysis was 100% correct.

Microsoft Window Popped Up as I was browsing in Safari
I was on facebook browsing in Safari and all of a sudden the website closed and an apple task box appeared and said your computer has been infected with a virus, we will now perform a scan then there was an "OK" box to click. So being a new Mac user I did and an actual Microsoft Window popped up like it was in PC Doctor for Windows XP (Windows Shield) I then clicked stop and a setup.exe file was downloaded into my stacks another Apple task box came up and said this is a windows based file from "www.shotbox.com" are you sure you would like to open the file of course I clicked cancel but what the heck did this do or mean? I thought Macs were not susceptible to this kind of jargon and situations?
To post a new question, you need to go down to the lowest (most specific) level of the forum. You will see a link that says +Post New Topic+ toward the upper left corner. For example

No, you should not need to install anti-virus software. There are no known Mac OS X viruses. There are other types of malware, such as trojans, but those will require that you intentionally install something, and then ignoring the Mac OS X warning that something new that was downloaded from the Internet is being run for the first time. And then giving your user name and password to authenticate. There is no anti-virus software that will prevent you from intentionally installing something on your Mac.
If you want to periodically scan your Mac for known malware, you can use this free utility

Many infected computers (Windows 7 Home Basic etc.) have different value on System (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon), like this
System = "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\22.exe" - (this infected value)
Where can I see all legal keys on brach HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon for Windows 7, as I see on Windows 7 Home Basic (not infected) isn't key System (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon).
Could anyone from Microsoft Support say clearly and precisely if key "System" is legal or not for OS: Windows 7.
P.S. On Windows XP, I know that key "System" ((HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon))is legal.No, the key, System, is not a part of default configuration and has been created by the malware. You can delete the key. Winlogon contains the settings and details of files that needs to be loaded when a user logs in. Malwares usually create a value entry
here or modify an existing entry to match their custom configuration. The key is important, so kindly keep the same. But as for the entries, check each entry and remove/modify the ones that point to any malware file (usually have strange location, like C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\22.exe,
as in your case).
In addition to Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, you can also run MalwareBytes from the following link:

Before deleting the key, be sure to take a backup of the Registry. Refer the link for more information:

Can anyone help? I have been trying to install the new version of Itunes for ages my new iphone wont activate on the old version!! Keep getting the same error message - Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run - Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Please Help!!!!!That particular key can sometimes be hit by malware, liam, so just to be on the safe side I think we should try a malware scan first.
Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look -
Microsoft-Windows-Folder Redirection Error 502. CSC database locked by another user
Dear all,
We are finalizing our Windows 7 migration where we migrated 500+ clients. In our enterprise concept we implemented RUP (Roaming User Profiles) and Redirected Folders for all
users. The Redirected Folders have been by enabled by a single GPO which redirects all folders from
AppData to
Searches \\servername.domain.name\documents$\%username%.
Problem:
The RUP and Redirected folders solution works fine until a new user wants to logon. This new user has been migrated to RUP and Redirected on another system and
he just wants to work on another workplace or gets a temporary pc. What happens is that redirected folders do not work. The user gets a message that the folder is not reachable and desktop is empty.
Troubleshooting:
Soon I found out that something was being locked. If we used a user account which had working Redirect Folders than this
worked for that user. An event of 10 was logged in OfflineFiles area of EventViewer to reconnect the path which was configured in the GPO.
This is example screenshot. It says "Error on Open Folder. \\server.domain.name\documents$\%username%\Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard disk
on this computer, or a on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
These symptoms happen randomly and not on all workstations. The pain here is when it happens on a portable computer. For desktop we disabled the "Disable Offline Files' in "Manage
Offline Files" control panel and then reboot. After the reboot the folders are directed
and it works without these errors... On portable computer we can't use this work around as they need to work offline.
If I connect to the share without the FQDN like \\servername\documents$\%username%\Desktop than this works fine and user can access all folders. When I try the FQDN path which is
configured in the GPO to redirect user to like \\servername.domain.name\documents$\%username%\Desktop than it fails with this message. I personally think because the C:\Windows\CSC database is locked by the previous user who has been logged on this system.
An example of the event generated in the Applications Event viewer part (I removed some username and server path):

I have tried all different option even to rebuild the CSC database but this also was not helping. I hope we are not dealing with a bug.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards, Ivan Versluis http://www.networknet.nlIvan and SteveDIG - Thanks for taking the time to post detailed information about what you have found. I have found the same things over the past few months and have been working with Microsoft to resolve this. Like Ivan, I have been told by
MS that this is a design problem in Windows 7, but they did admit it is a bug and did not charge me for the case. That was the good news. The bad news was that the problem is so 'deep' in Windows 7 that it will not be fixed until Windows 8 and
the CSC engineering team in Redmond has rejected several requests to fix this issue in Windows 7 from several customers. I personally feel we should have hauled our TAM in over this, but that wasn't my call so we haven't attempted to get an attitude
change from MS.
<RANT> I find this completely outrageous. Windows is supposed to be a multi-user operating system suitable for deployment to mobile workforces spread around the world and often using slow VPN links. Offline folders, folder redirection,
slow link detection, etc. are all great on paper and as I did the design work for the W7 solution I've just built I sold these advantages heavily. I now have serious egg on my face and am not happy. Like others here I missed this in testing as
multiple users are a fringe for us, but still important, I unfortunately didn't think to specifically test for multiple users, though I tested the features thoroughly and was happy with the results when used on single user machines.</RANT>
As identified above, this issue manifests when more than one user uses a machine and their Offline folders (all redirected folders are configured this way by default) are in an offline state when the first user logs off. The second user cannot access
this 'offline' share so folder redirection fails. We get burnt as we have latency=0 configured for slow link detection with Offline folders so users always work offline. This is partly because of WAN optimisers in the network that lie to Windows
so the online/offline transition doesn't work on slow links (not MS's fault), and partly because it made sense for other reasons.
The workaround Microsoft and I came up with for our environment was to use individual file shares for each user. We had been using a common file share with each user folder under that file share. Changing to an individual share for each users
means the share is not locked by the previous user.
Examples
This would cause a problem if John then Emma logged on to the same machine. Folder redirection would fail for Emma:
\\FileServer1\Users$\john
\\FileServer1\Users$\emma
So would this if DFS was used
\\my.domain\users\john (points to \\FileServer1\Users$\John)
\\my.domain\users\emma (points to \\FileServer1\Users$\Emma)
This would fix the problem:
\\FileServer1\John$
\\FileServer1\Emma$
Unfortunately we then figured we could move these shares behind DFS like so:
\\my.domain\homes\john (points to \\FileServer1\John$)
\\my.domain\homes\emma (points to \\FileServer1\emma$)
This was wrong. The problem returned. I assume the share that is being locked is now the DFS root and not the user share.
The operations team here is very reluctant to go with direct access to the file servers and not use DFS as that will create issues for them in the future when they need to make file server changes. I sympathise with them but can't see an alternative
at the moment as we are deploying W7 and can't stop. If I'd picked this up earlier a third party product might have been the solution (MS actually suggested this when I opened my case).
I hope the information about individual shares above is helpful to someone. Otherwise I don't really have more to add but I needed the rant :-)
<RANT>BTW. Has anyone tested changing a user’s home directory path once it is cached? Try it. Test a scenario where you move the user from one file server to another. You will not enjoy the results. I'll say no more
than this as it is off topic, but it shows the lack of investment in the CSC feature in Windows. Very disappointing</RANT> -
