My internet provide says I may have a virus.  How can I tell?

How can I determine if I have a virus.  I think a may as my Yahoo account spammed my contacts Wednesday night.

If you're using Mac OS X, then you do NOT have a virus (I"ll even bet money on this).
There may be an exception here if you're running on Bootcamp or using a VM.

  • Will not print files from mobile phone says it **may have** a virus- and deletes the file

    My HP photosmart premium with wireless ePrint, will not print files from mobile phone says it **may have** a virus- and deletes the file?!? My Fiance has the same phone, and I used it. It completed the file??? If I text message and E-mail address, my cell phone will come up as and E-mail address... has anyone else had this issue? Is it because I texted the the file? It didn't seem to be and issue on any of the other mobile phones used.... I am out of answers.... I tried to E-mail as well...
    Thanks in advance

    I have nearly the same problem, the printer discards my print job even when i have entered my email address as authorised senders.
    Details from my other post:
    I sent 2 emails to the printer:
    - one is a 3 lines of text and numbers in a GIF file sent as an attachment
    - another is a jpg circuit diagram paste in a word doc sent as an attachment
    both are classified as spam and refused to print. i have no email coming back saying it failed (even i have checked "Email Job Status" in ePrint Settings.
    So what will this HP printer print?
    How can I switch this useless spam filter off?
    I have get this filter off! I need this email printing to work reliably, that is a major reason I bought this printer
    Any suggestions are welcomed...
    HP's slogan on the box:
    "Now you can print from virtually anywhere" (but get discarded every single time!)

  • I believe my computer may have a virus. Can someone help?

    Lately ive been worried that my MacBook pro has a virus. Today i went to "Finder" and saw that i had shared files going--ive never shared any files. The location says "Neighborhood". Also, i went to my activity monitor and saw that there was a file called "disnoted" runnnig and it was by the user "damian". My name is not Damian and i have no idea who it could be. It wont let me stop the process either. Ive tried many times and it hasnt worked. I also see an "activitymonitord" is running from "root" what is that? Any help on this would be great.  Im quite worried about the security of my computer now. Please tell me what this means and if it is a virus, how i can remove it. Ive suplied pictures aswell.  Thank you.

  • HT1349 I have just had an anonymous phone telling me that I have a virus how can I check

    How can I check if there is a virus in my computer

    I'd have to agree with Rudegar. If they didn't ask you to do anything or offer any kind of assistance, then it was probably a prank.
    Keep in mind that nobody can tell you remotely that you have a virus, just out of the blue. Your internet service provider can detect suspicious network transactions that may be an indicator of malware (generally more so on Windows machines), but even then, they cannot tell you anything conclusively.
    For more information about malware on the Mac, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • I have a virus, how can I remove it

    All of the sudden I have all of these pop ups.  I think that this virus has even invaded my campus email?  What is the best way to scan my computer (free) and remove this?

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Firefox 4 hangs while downloading files, sometimes get an error saying Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 is busy or may have stopped responding, how can I disable this script?

    While downloading files Firefox 4 freezes (started with 3.5) and sometimes I get a window that says Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 has stopped responding or is busy and asks if I want to stop script or ignore. I have looked through about:config and don't see a way to disable the script and keep it disabled.

    That is a problem with an AVG extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

  • I think I may have a virus - how do I get rid of it?

    Last night I visited a website while searching for an authentic Chicago Blackhawks jersey (a gift). The site "nhledgeshop.com" came up in the Google search with the description "Patrick Kane Authentic Jersey, Buy Blackhawks Authentic & Premier Patrick Kane Jersey from the ultimate sports store, featuring Authentic, …" When I clicked on it, it took a long time to load. It looked like a legitimate site, but I couldn't find a phone # for it, so when I searched on the site name, I found a lot of complaints about people who ordered stuff and didn't get it, couldn't get through to their customer service, etc. (Needless to say, I didn't buy from them.) When I shut my computer down, it didn't power down like it normally does (the on screen icons disappear, then the apps along the sidebar fly off the edge, and then the computer shuts down). Instead, the entire screen went white and a diagnostic bar came up saying something about an installation and asking if I wanted to abort or exit (I think?). The box was only up for about 1 1/2 seconds before the screen went black and shut down. It caught me off guard, so I missed it the first time. I turned the computer back on and shut it down again, and the same thing happened. This time I caught the box and clicked abort. However, it's still there. Today I powered down at least 4 times and the same thing happened every time. I caught the abort button a couple of times, but that doesn't seem to get rid of whatever it is.
    Does anyone know how I could check my computer to see if there's anything bad on it? I searched the internet and found suggestions to install a free antivirus app called ClamXav, but before I install anything I want to hear from the community whether I should do that or if there's something different that I should do. Please let me know, and thank you all in advance for your help.

  • Verizon is my internet provider and also my email software. How can I set Verizon in Firefox Applications under Options/Tools? I don't use any other software.

    Whenever I want to send a message when at a website, I am forced to use outlook or the other options listed in applications in Tools.
    How do I get Verizon listed?

    No, forget the "mailto > use other". Sorry !
    Once you have a Mail Client(like Thunderbird) installed & configured as your default for Mail in the '''CUSTOM''' section of Set Program Access and Computer Defaults, you can click on a Send To or MailTo link on a webpage and a New Message window will open with your default email account's address (i.e. verizon.net).
    thanks and sorry again

  • I think I have a virus, how can I get rid of it?

    When ever I am on the internet and I try to go to different websites, this drop down usually appears and says "safari can not identify the server..." It is either asking about the website I am trying to go to, or trying to send me to a completely different website which is spam. It has never done this before until this week. It happens when I go on facebook, or weheartit, or google. It even happened the hole time I am trying to use the apple website. Should I just take it in to the genius bar? Or is their something that I can do myself to stop it? For the spam addresses I have marked them as 'not safe' but it still continues to try and send me there.

    either asking about the website I am trying to go to, or trying to send me to a completely different website
    It's not a virus but there is a solution to the, "Safari cannot identify the server" issue. Your ISP may be re directing your browser.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, it's free, and no more re directs.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.

    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK and restart your Mac.

    midghome12,
    Are you using Adobe Photoshop Elements?
    If so, just let us know, and someone can Move your post to that very active and helpful forum.
    As Chris points out, Adobe Photoshop does not have direct Internet uploading, so I suspect that you have PsElements.
    Just let us know the exact program, that you have.
    Good luck,

    created by bob.treitman in Adobe Acrobat.com Services - View the full discussionIf it says "Anonymous" then the only way that it would have gone out to all of your contacts would be if you sent it to them through your email client. And it would be in your email's Sent folder (not Adobe Send's). If you look at https://cloud.acrobat.com/sentfiles, does it show that the file has been Viewed? If the Views column shows a 0, then nobody has yet viewed it. If you're concerned, you can select the file by clicking the check box, then select Unshare.
