Possible virus, Please help!!

Hi all,
I have a bug, when I type an incorrect URL into SAFARI or FIRE FOX, I get a link to some (changing) sex portal, i.e. it comes instead of the 'page not found' page.
Any ideas, I have tried clearing out the cache, and removing the pref, but I think this may be a virus.
Dan

Thanks Kuro Rai,
Thats it....
I followed the advice on the macworld site, and found a cure.
I typed "sudo crontab -r" in Terminal and added again the DNS server addresses in network settings which were grayed out. After reboot the grayed DNS's had gone and I deleted the ones I put in.
Seems to have worked for now.
Watch this space..
Thanks again...

I think my Qosmio has a virus: please help me

Hello, I have a Toshiba Qosmio laptop, and it has worked perfectly for 2 years. But about 2-3 months ago, it started acting very strange. Random music that is NOT anything I have in my Media Player or Music Library will start playing. It just happened a few minutes ago when I was watching a DVD. Nothing else was running, just the Toshiba DVD Player. The random music also happens sometimes when I just start the machine.
Also, my computer will not go on the Internet anymore. That web tries to pull up, then it just freezes, and I have to start the task manager to end it. It's driving me crazy!
Now, I have already sent it in to Toshiba repair services, and they sent it back & said there were no problems found. So that was a big waste of time. So now I'm looking for some real help.
I had Norton Anti-Virus installed, and when I first ran it, it found a Trojan Gen 2, I believe? This was over a year ago, so I don't remember exactly what it was called. Every other time I ran Norton, all it ever found were tracking cookies. I also had Spybot Search & Destroy, but it never seemed to find anything either.
I don't know what else to do... I am NOT computer savvy at all, and what I've done above is about as good as my knowledge gets. Please help me... I really love my laptop, and want to fix it somehow.
*Edit to add: it is an X505-Q885, and has Windows 7, if that helps at all.
Thank you, AJ

You can always try the system restore back in time, of which is but one solution, when computer was working without problems. (Start>Control Panel>System and Security>Action Center>There are also many other options for trouble shooting your computer besides restoring to a previous time.)
There’s, of course, always one option, not a first option but I use on my Qosmio X505 many times. Program files gets corrupted, virus attacks, or conflicts in programs, after simple solutions do not work, instead of spending hours trying various remedies, I restart my computer with original factory setting. (This usually happens to my computer after updates.)
I use the recovery disk. If you use this method you have to have all files backed up, because your hard drive is going to be wiped clean. Moreover, you will be spending hours updating and putting back your programs back to the computer. You should read MY TOSHIBA program file and USER GUIDE, pg. 61, if you decide to do this.

Feels like a virus please help

My computer is acting weird. Almost all programs are no longer working. Everything quits, from system profiler, photobooth, installer, to Quicktime, & QuarkXpress. Programs that open are missing letters in the menu bars and websites like aol also have letters missing. Please help everything worked fine yesterday, and I have tried restarting several times.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
From the fact that you are running 10.4.10 You've had your Mac for quite a while apparently without previous problems.
Let me re-assure you that it's highly unlikely that you have a virus and I'm not aware of any hacker issues likely to affect you either.
I don't know whether you are familiar with routine maintenance procedures which you can do yourself.
Let me start with repair permissions. For this you open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. In the LH column select your internal hard drive, eg Macintosh HD (or whatever other name it has been given), then click on Repair permissions on the RH side. If there is a list of ...is..., should be... and at the end of the process (about 10 mins) 'Permissions repaired'. Run the repair again to ensure that all repairs have been done. It's a good idea to restart the computer. If there is no longer any problem you have solved your problem. Otherwise,
1) Ensure that you have a backup of all files you don't want to lose - buy an external drive (firewire preferably) if you don't already have one, big enough to copy the whole of your hd and use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner for your backup.
2) Startup from the original installation dvd by inserting it, restarting holding the c key til you see the Apple logo. Select your language if that's the first screen. On the next screen go to Tools/Disk Utility but this time do a Repair disk after selecting your hd. If any repairs were necessary rerun this until there are no more unless you get a message 'Repairs unable to be repaired' or similar. If repairs were needed restart as normal and check whether the problem has gone. If still no luck:
3) Download the combo version of 10.4.11 from Apple/Support/Downloads and instal this. After installation do another Repair permissions then check whether the problem persists.
Please let us know which process has given success, if any.

Moving a TextField in Swing.Possible?please help

Hi all,
I'm working on this application to create textfields in a page and resize and reposition them as necessary using the mouse(Just like dragging and dropping components in Visual Basic). Is it possible to provide such a functionality for a Textfield in java? If so how? If you do have some reference sites, please let me know. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
if you just need a simple framework:
I've created a customizer framework for such tasks: Move and resize components with the mouse and allow further customizations. "Snap-to-grid"-feature included! Maybe you find it useful as a base. (It's open source!)
I started to write a tutorial (still under construction!):
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/docs/tutorial/swing/customizer/index.html
For adding components see:
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/docs/api/org/softsmithy/lib/swing/CustomizerBar.html
To customize properties use:
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/docs/api/org/softsmithy/lib/swing/JCustomizerPropertyTable.html
Register it to the SelectionManager of the JCustomizerPane and set the CustomizableProperties-property of the JCustomizer objects.
Also have a look at the subclasses of JCustomizer.
E.g. there are
customizers for images & shapes:
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/docs/api/org/softsmithy/lib/swing/JXIconCustomizer.html
a label customizer with inline editing:
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/docs/api/org/softsmithy/lib/swing/JLabelCustomizer.html
a line customizer:
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/docs/api/org/softsmithy/lib/swing/JLine2DCustomizer.html
And there are many classes providing support for menu- and toolbar-actions. (Incuding support for some of the "Java Look and Feel Graphics Repository" actions.)
Look at the *.swing and the *.swing.action packages.
Just ask me if you don't find them.

SIMPLE QUESTION: LYNC 2010 -- AVAYA CS1000 DIRECT SIP: IS THAT POSSIBLE? PLEASE HELP!

Hello,
I would like to ask really simple question here: is that possible to establish (configure, setup, create, make etc.) a direct SIP connection between LYNC 2010 and AVAYA CS1000 PBX. On one side I have Lync 2010 Standard Edition acting as Front-End Server
with co-located Mediation Server. On another side I have AVAYA CS1000 IP PBX Version 7.0. We are trying to make this happen for 1 full year with no luck. The issue is that we do not manage our PBX (external company does).
Here is what we are basically trying to achieve:
All I want is that basically LYNC user (phone # 5678) can dial PBX user (phone # 1234) and talk. Also PBX user can call LYNC user and they can talk. I'm pretty sure that all I'm asking is very simple thing. I don't expect magic to happen (e.g. when one user
calls another user the world will change). All I want is to be able to call between LYNC and PBX users so they can talk.
Sorry for repeating again but here is my simple question: can direct SIP (or call it SIP trunk if this is the right word) be established so LYNC and PBX users can call each other and talk. Whatever protocol is (G.711, G.722 etc.) I will be happy.
If you can let me know I would very much appreciate this. I'm sure I'm not alone in this world and many companies out there using AVAYA CS1000 and deployed LYNC and probably have the same question so it may be helpful to other people as well.
Thanks!

Hi Thamara for reply. I can see where you are going, but the challenge here is that I have found many threads including in this forums from people who successfully connected CS1000 PBX to Lync 2010 for two-way calling, and even dual-forking (which I cannot
even dream about at this time).
If you go to AVAYA WEB site, you can find official AVAYA compatibility MATRIX that is available here:
http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=avaya%20compatibility%20matrix%20lync&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.avaya.com%2Fcss%2FP8%2Fdocuments%2F100135385&ei=v3-5TsXVKMLX0QGHpdSkCA&usg=AFQjCNG6cmW5izdOASMuW34b8iK0vWnwuw
According to this document, only CS1000 version 7.5 supports Lync 2010 and only via ACE - starting first quarter of 2011 (which is done deal by now) - see below for details. The problem is that I have a hard time to understand the meaning of the word "Supported".
I do not really need full support, all I want is to be able to call in both directions using 2 distinct numbers (e.g. 4 digits extensions) that are configured in both systems.
Another thing is this ACE. Apparently it is a big monster software that you need to buy and pay big bucks and lots of configuration just to make it working. But I'm not even sure what will work. We do have one-way calling (from Lync to PBX) - it just does
not work other way, and I have no idea why. I'm not sure if this cannot be working, or because it was not setup right. As I mentioned before we have no access and clue about IP PBX - this is one of my issue here. Withoul knowledge how it works on PBX side
I cannot be sure what is causing this.
So I was wondering if anybody in this world was able to connect CS1000 PBX to Lync and perform two-way calling using two systems.
Thanks!

Is this possible? PLEASE HELP!

I have a reasonable amount of experience with video editing, but have never been involved with the DVD authoring process.
I am involved in a fairly major project now, and want to suggest an idea, but need first to check if it is feasible.
To simplify the explanation, lets say i have three sections of video.
I'd like them to play as one continuous whole 'ABC'.
I'd also like to include the option to watch the piece without section B, ie 'AC', (again viewable as one continuous piece).
Would it be possible to trim A, B, and C to the common sections that would be used in both versions, then create crossfading sections that went A/B and B/C, and also one that went A/C, then use playlists to make the two continuous pieces:
'A'-'A/B'-'B'-'B/C'-'C'
'A'-'A/C'-'C'
Would I get a glitchy gap between the 'main chunk' of A and the crossfade A/B, for example?
I hope that my explanation makes some kind of sense, and I really hope someone can tell me for definite whether this is likely to be possible or not.
Thanks for reading!
Miller.

The skip takes place if you move between physical locations on the disc - i.e. if you are at one end of a track and need to skip to the other to play the next chapter in the sequence - the playhead has to move to the new location and re-focus to start playback from there. The length of the pause will depend on the DVD Player as much as anything else.
The only way to make this smoother is to add different versions of the asset to the disc. As I see it, the A, AB, B, BC, C stories should all be OK... so create a film of the AC situation and add it as a track, if you have room to do so.
You can then use the ABC fil for most of the playback (play all, AB, BC) and the other asset for the AC playback only.

Hi, I lost my iphone and ipad both unfortunately and now I'm in need of all my data in my iphone and ipad. Is it possible ? Please help...

Contacts, calendars, notes, etc. should have been synced with a compatible program on your computer or with a cloud service and should still be there.
What data specifically do you need that isn't there?

Applications not loading and possible malware, please help.

I got my mom a mac because I knew she would click on anything, and this way her chances of doing anything too deleterious might be reduced.
Anyhow, I think she downloaded something malicious. Now the screen saver, which originally pulled pictures from a folder in iphoto, now goes through a random set of photos in iphoto and also shows some really pixelated images that are superimposed on the photos. For example, there will be a photo, then the next image is a large, pixelated heart superimposed on the same photo. Then there will be another random picture, and then a different pixelated image on top of that photo.
Then I noticed that applications were not loading. So far, software update does not work, safari does not work, and itunes does not work. She says she only uses firefox though and now it loads by itself on startup even when I never applied that setting. I saw another post where it was recommended to download clamX, but it would not load. I went to the apple site and downloaded the latest software update, but it would not open. I tried the disk utility, but it only showed green-nothing was wrong.
I am at a loss of what to do, and even what is going on with the computer. I'm wondering what information has been compromised. I've tried doing a search on previous discussions, but am unsure of what key words to use. My mom does not have administrator privileges. This computer is mainly used for a filemaker pro app (which still works) and the internet/email.
I appreciate any thoughts you might have and any advice. Also, if you have any ideas on how to make this more "mom-proof". She has a hard time knowing what should be avoided as there is some language barrier.
Thank you.

I appreciate your reply. It was never a problem before though. The screensaver was always a folder in iphoto.
What can I do to find out why none of the applications work? I just tried downloading adobe reader since preview is not working, but even though it installed it won't start up.
I appreciate any tips!

I am a parent that set "Leech Block" on hidden mode, so I can not remove it. I want to remove it as soon as possible. Please help me.

I don't know what settings i messed up so that it would be like this, but I can't find it on the hard drive- anywhere. If anyone is not a hacker and can provide info on how to remove this add on, then that would be simply wonderful. Thank you to whoever replies.

You should be able to remove the extension in Safe Mode.

I cann't execute javac with parameters. please help !!

Hi All!!
I can't understand how to execute application or bat file (javac.exe for example) WITH parameters correctly.
I can execute javac.exe or bat file - WITHOUT parameters :
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + "javac.exe");
But I can't execute correctly the command like:
"javac.exe -classpath C:\Alex; Test.java"
I tried to use exec(str,env[]) and exec(cmd[]) methods, but there were different errors as a result :(((
How can I execute the command "javac.exe -classpath C:\Alex; Test.java" ? Is it possible?
Please help me by a good idea.
Thank you.

right you are! That's why we use "\\" instead "\" :)
If i try to execute this command -
cmd=WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + "c:/j2sdk1.4.0/deleteMe/javac.exe -classpath C:/WORK/jboss-3.0.3/client/jboss-j2ee.jar;S:/Alexander/jars/sys.jar;S:/Alexander/jars/ejb_conf_dev.jar;S:/Alexander/jars/; C:/j2sdk1.4.0/deleteMe/aaBean.java";
my OS Windows 2000 returns na error - "Error opening icon..."
What's wrong?
Thank you...

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! Big Ipod 5th Generation problem.

O.K. I was stupid and purchased a 5th Gen Ipod off my cousin and it worked one day and shut off for ever. the next day i plugged it into my computer and that one battery symbol with the lightening bolt symbol showed up without the animation of it charging, then it dissapeared 10 mins later. I tried using the plug outlet to charge it but all it does is light the screen up grey color. It even blinks that grey color sometimes. Just wondering if someone else has had that problem and if anyone has some advise. Maybe it needs a new battery port or lcd screen? I dont have the original box or reciept but want to repair for a reasonable price if possible. Please Help! Its the first time I've ever had something nice like this and really want it to work, again any help would be appreciated.

i had the same problem only i bought it from brandsmart and it was faulty so i had to return it back to the carrier which is apple and they sent me back a new one and i live in the bahamas so it was hectic for me so i wud suggest you report the problem to apple

Please help:Midipipe no longer works after Garageband/iMac upgrades

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help. I use my Yamaha Dtxplorer electronic drums to record drums on my iMac's Garageband program. I use a program called "midipipe" to assign the correct midi drum pad sounds before the signal goes into Garageband, and then I use the "EZdrummer" plug-in to get more realistic drums sounds. Here's the problem. In June 2011, I upgraded my iMac to "Snow Leopard" (Mac OS 10.6.7), and at the same time, I upgraded Garageband to Garageband '11 (ie Garageband 2011). Now that I did those 2 upgrades, I can no longer get midipipe to work in any way. There are NO drums sounds coming out through midipipe now, and when trying to tweak the settings, there is no longer any way to click the "hijack" checkbox on the midipipe "midi in" setting. The "hijack" button is now "greyed-out" and cannot be selected. Now I can no longer use my drums with Garageband, which is really, really disheartening. It seems like all I run into with my iMac and Garageband is nothing but problems and glitches that are making me considering recording my music on a Windows computer, and ditching my iMac altogether. I've already tried repeatedly to create new "pipes" with midipipe, but nothing will work since I cannot select the "hijack" button anymore. This problem occurred only after the Garageband and iMac upgrades, and midipipe used to work PERFECTLY with garageband and ezdrummer before. Nothing else in my set-up has changed.
If anyone has ANY possible solutions, please help. I've wasted so much time with this computer already. All I want is for it to work properly. Thank you very much in advance.
Rich

Hi JMX. No, I've had no luck trying to figure out the problem, which started ever since I upgraded my iMac and upgraded Garbageband. No replies except yours, and I googled a bunch of web pages trying to find an answer. The guy who programmed the Midipipe program didn't reply either. I'm thinking about getting a Windows computer to record music, along with Protools. Have horrible luck with Garageband since the day I bought my iMac, unfortunately. Nothing but glitches and problems.
But I wish you (and anyone else running into the same problem) the best of luck. I just don't have the patience for the contstant obstacles when trying to use an Apple Mac to record songs.

Possible virus, Please help!!
