What specific behavior are you seeing that makes you think it has a virus?
One common thing that is often blamed on viruses these days is adware, which causes pop-up ads, new tabs and redirects to other sites in your web browser. If this is what you are experiencing, see my Adware Removal Guide.

  • Computer has virus

    computer has virus and there is two programes coming on my computer mac-pro and web-crawler

    What are the outward symptoms indicating a 'virus' to you?
    Depending on the symptom, it may actually be an adware.

    There is almost no chance of the matter being related to a virus.
    However there may be adware or malware from some site that
    was accidentally installed along with something else you sought
    from there, which may have been a corrupted or doctored file on
    a web page with a bad reputation; or a link to get one thing, that
    actually delivered something else to your computer.
    Some odd-ware will affect a web browser, so that can misdirect
    or offer different and unexpected buttons, web pages, etc.
    So with more information on your computer, & the OS X it is running
    someone may be able to help narrow the focus to see what's in it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have CDs, legally purchased and uploaded to iTunes (v9.1.0.79)...they were on a harddrive and now I tried to play on my new computer (iTunes v11.0.2.26), but whilst the files appear intact they skip through each song in seconds...why?  and how to fix?

    I have CDs, legally purchased and uploaded to iTunes (v9.1.0.79)...they were on a harddrive and now I tried to play on my new computer (iTunes v11.0.2.26), but whilst the files appear intact they skip through each song in seconds...why?  and how to fix?

    I don't recognise the symptoms as such, but here are a couple of things to try.
    Check all tracks
    Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal track to track playback. Go to the Songs view and CTRL-click on an empty checkbox, or CTRL-click on a filled one twice. This will ensure all tracks are checked.
    Repair permissions
    To make sure that your iTunes folder (or media folder if located separately) has the correct permissions, right-click on the folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but later versions of Windows shouldn't be too different.
    You can also clear the Read-Only flag for the entire library from the Properties dialog.

    My computer has crashed and i have to buy a new one, how do i put my creative cloud on my new laptop? I paid for a year of having the programs

    Please do not worry. You can just download it from Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps.
    You have to activate it with your Adobe ID.
    In case the CC has been activated two time, you will have to use the option to deactivate the CC from previous install .This prompt will appear when you will try to activate the CC. Once you choose this option it will allow you to activate the CC on the new machine.

    My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer (windows 7) but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop (windows 8)?

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
    Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

    How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

    You simply sync the iPad to the new computer. It will tell you that it is already synced with another one though, and will give you the option to erase it or transfer its contents to the new one. An iPad can only be synced with one computer at a time.
    Beware that only your iTunes and App Store purchases will sync. If your iTunes library contained music obtained from other sources, you have to find a way to transfer them directly from your sick computer to the new one.
    I hope your new computer is a Mac, a replacement PC will eventually suffer the same fate.

  • After downloading the new Os X Yosemite my computer has been lagging, how can I fix this?

    After downloading the new OS X Yosemite my computer has been lagging, how can I fix this?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • When I attach a JPG file in my email and send it to a Windows friend they get the message "The file type being saved or retrieved has been blocked when they try to open it." Anyone know why and how to fix this problem?

    When I attach a JPG file in my email message and send it to a Windows friend they get the message "The file type being saved or retrieved has been blocked when they try to open it so that they can save it." Anyone know why and how to fix this problem?

    Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

  • This message recently popped up on my PC - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." What does this mean and how to fix ??

    Hi Everyone - recently this message popped up on my PC, when I was trying to import cd's into the iTunes library and then onto my iPod - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it ?? I am not fantastically PC savvy, so any information explained fully and all steps to follow to get my music playing again would be great !! Thanks, SC

    Hi B, thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot !!
    Ok, so when I went in to check the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties, I found the following:-
    * Sound Playback Default Device = No Playback Devices.
    * Sound Recording Default Device = No Playback Devices.
    * MIDI Music Playback Default Device = No MIDI Playback Devices.
    All text in this drop-down box were light grey, and therefore unable to be selected or altered.
    I also tried playing a cd through Windows Media player, to see if I could get sound a different way. When I put the cd in and clicked on Play, the following message appeared, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your PC, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functoning properly."
    Any ideas ? I had sound previously, but then a work colleague re-built the PC to add more space to the hard drive, and since then, no sound. I know this may now not just be an iTunes issue, but I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
    Thanks again,
    Shell

  • I have an iphone 4s that has been hacked.  Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software has been downloaded replacing apple software which enables the hacker to screen share.  I need all the info about how it was done, and how to fix the problem.

    I have an iphone 4s that may have been hacked.  Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software may have been downloaded allowing screen share.  I need all the info I can get as to how this could have been done and how to fix the problem.

    The only way the iPhone could have been hacked in such a manner, at least by any method currently confirmed, is if the iPhone was jailbroken. Was yours?
