My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse.  It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book.  I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month.  It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone.  Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word.  The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer.  It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have.  The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up.  If it pulls up at all.  I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean.  I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks.  I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either.  I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me.  I do remember when I believe my computer became infected:  I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected.  I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late.  I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all.  I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer.  It refuses to uninstall.  The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible.  If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

  • I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps.

    I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time. 

    Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way.  I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done.  I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps.  Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to.  In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other.  Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task. 

  • Multiple address books on the same computer: How to

    Hi!
    I'll get in the near future my wife's iPhone 3G (unless she keeps it and take her 3GS instead) - but want want to be 100% sure we can have separate address books on the same computer. The question is simple: how do we go about that?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    If it's just the address book that should be different: in iTunes, you can specify for each device what it should sync. For your contacts, you can specify in iTunes which contact groups to sync (at least on my Mac using Address Book I can).
    Does this mean I need to create separate contact groups in the same address book file or can I create a second file? I'd much rather use the second solution. The first solution would in fact mean creating three groups: "His", "Hers" and "Both". This is a shotcut for contact management nightmares!
    Thanks in advance,
    Claude

  • HT5071 If my book is available for purchase on the iBooks store can I have a multi-book app for purchase in the App Store containing the book at the same time?

    If my book is available for purchase on the iBooks store can I have a multi-book app for purchase in the App Store containing the book at the same time?

    1.) No one here can tell you what the app review teams will/won't accept/reject, sorry.
    2.) App Reviewers have been rejecting a certain percentage of apps based on their determination that the app is too book-like, saying the dev should make a book instead.

  • Is it possible to work on 2 Blurb books at the same time in LR4?

    Is it possible to work on 2 Blurb books at the same time in LR4?

    Yes, sure you can.
    Just make sure that you create a collection of the images used for each book.
    Otherwise when you go back to a book you previously worked on the images won't be found.
    Also, as said earlier create a <saved book> - top right in the Book Module.

    Is there an app for iPad which will allow me to read 2 books at the same time? 2 Books side by side. For example, one in English and the same book in Swedish. I'd use this in helping me to learn different languages. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you searched for one? This is a technical forum. Look for what you want at the iTunes Store.

    I use a OLD G3 when I travel and mostly I am connecting over the satellites which is not really the best connection.
    I use GMX which is free and never have a problem getting my emails from anywhere even in the middle of the oceans.
    It does work using Apple mail and the adress book

  • How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

    How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

    I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
    I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

  • Can I surf and talk at the same time on a verizon iphone?

    I've heard that Verizon iPhones don't allow users to talk and surf at the same time. Is that true? I'm not keen on going to AT&T. If it's true, will it ever change?

    Yes. It is true because Verizon runs on CDMA which doesn't allow for surf and talk at the same time. AT&T runs on GSM which allows for surf and talk at the same time.

  • If I post my book to iBooks does this mean I cannot sell my book at the same time on Kindle?

    I do not understand lawyer speak. Apple's EULA confuses me. It's a simple question. If I sell my book on Kindle through Amazon does this mean I cannot simultaneouslty sell the same book on iBook?

    Clarify - reading Apple's iBook EULA - 
    I'm cofused by Appe's language. Are they saying I can't sell my book through both Kindle and Apple at the same time? Are they saying if I sell on Apple, I can't sell the same book on Kindle? Or, are they saying if I create a book on iBooks Author it can only be sold through Apple?
    What do you mean by "Apple's iBook EULA"?  Are you referring to the document entitled "Software License Agreement for IBooks Author"?  If not, what exactly?
    The iBooks Author license agreement has nothing to say about (and no relevance to) books you create with some other software.  It also places no restrictions on books you create with iBooks Author but not in the .ibooks format (which format can only be read on an iPad in any case).  The other formats which iBooks author can produce are PDF and Text.
