Receiving Mac Zip File for virus removal

Receiving Mac Zip File for virus removal. Randomly comes up through firefox.  I don't open it but I cant remove it from applications.  Any help appreciated.  Also Mac doesn't have a built in defense like that does it?

  • Gmail could not scan zip file for viruses

    I received a zip file.  MacBook Pro tries to scan for virus and I received a msg that "Gmail could not scan this file for viruses".  Does the problem lies with the zip file OR there is some software that I need to download & install before I could download the zip file?

    You are wasting your time scanning for viruses.
    I have been using Macs since 1984.
    I've worked at companies with 50+ Macs.
    I've used every Mac OS From 1.1 to 10.6.7
    I have never seen a Mac virus or known anyone that has.

  • Unzipping Mac .zip files on a Windows PC

    Does anybody know of a Windows program that will decompress Mac .zip (gz) files reliably? I've Tried StuffIt Standard for Windows but it quits every time with a warning, "Engine Error:Internal Error." Sure, I can make .sit files on the Mac and use Stuffit to expand them in Windows, but that's not the solution I'm looking for. If I already have a Mac .zip file on my Windows PC is there any way to open it without using a Mac?
    I've searched these forums but all my searches come up with answers to the opposite question: How do I open Windows .zip files on my Mac?

    A .gz file is not a "Mac Zip file" but a GNU Zip file, which is commonly used on Unix and Linux computers (OS X is a form of Unix).
    You can get a gzip application for Windows here, or Google for something like "gzip for Windows".
    Archives made by the Finder on a Mac are regular zip files (.zip files), just like the ones you would see on Windows.

  • Issue Opening MAC Zip file on PC

    When i create an Archive of files (Zip File) on my Mac and send it to certain PC users, they come back telling me it says it's ZERO KBs when they unzip it.
    Which is weird, because all the PCs we have in the office can open the Mac Zip files fine.
    I thought it was because their winzip thing was out of date, but they are all telling me they are up to date.
    Again, this is only happening to a select few PC users, most PC users i'm sending it to can open it fine.
    Anyone have any advice on this or why it is happening to these certain PC users?
    Thanks

    Select "Attachments" in Mail's "Edit" menu and set "Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments". If that isn't set, a Mac file may be sent in two pieces; the resource fork (often zero bytes), and the data fork. The PC users may be using different mail programs, and some are just seeing the resource fork. The data fork is probably there somewhere if they know how to get to it. The resource fork isn't needed for anything you would send to a PC.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

  • Mac zip file on PC

    I have a problem when I send a mac zipped file to a PC user and they try to unzip the file
    they are asked for a password. I didn't put password protection on the file and the PC user (XP) says they can unzip other files ok. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I have this problem, randomly and occasionally...ie it happens rarely and when it does I can find no difference between a successful zip and "password" zip.
    It is not to do with e mailing. For example today I made a zip of six jpegs. I dragged it into my XP in Parallels and XP wanted a password. I then made a zip of six different jpegs in the same directory and dragged it into XP and it unzipped fine!!
    I did the exercise because I had sent the bad one to a customer via Filechute and he complained he was being asked for a password, which is exactly what I found when I tried it my XP Parallels.
    I have done "get info" on the files in the good and bad one and can see absolutely no differences.
    I have tried zipping the bad ones with Finder, Filechute and Betterzip with the same result.
    The bad one will open OK in Vista but not XP.
    I use Filechute a lot to send jpegs to customers and this only happens about 1 in 50 times, for no apparent reason.
    Really baffling!
    Would love some help on this
    Thanks

  • Captivate 4 - zipping files for LMS

    I am zipping files for the LMS for a SCORM compliant course.  When zippnig it, it will not zip and it will not give me SCORM_support.js files.  None of my js files will show up.  Any idea why this is happening?
    This is what I should be getting.
    This is what I am getting

    I think we'll have to look at your settings for SCORM and Manifest. This is what I'm normally getting when zipping a CP4-file into a SCORM-object:
    In the SCORM-map are the needed HTM, JS and SWF. And I'm using SCORM 1.2
    More details about the settings, please?

  • Scan a file for virus before upload

    In many CRM functions, eg - Activities, Mkt Planner, etc., there is a tab for uploading/attaching files.  How can we scan the file for virus before saving?  We have a Basis 620, so we can't use the Virus Scan Interface because it is available from Basis 640 onwards.
    I am looking for two things - 1. A method to scan for virus and 2. A user exit where this can be implemented before saving.
    Thanks.

  • Where to download the webcentertutorialcontent.zip file for JDev 10.1.3.x?

    A quick question for the download location of the webcentertutorialcontent.zip file for version 10g (10.1.3.2 or later).
    I am going through the Oracle WebCenter Framework Tutorial 10g (10.1.3.2.0) (document id B31072-02) to gain an understanding of the working mechanism of portlets. The tutorial requires the use of the webcentertutorialcontent.zip file to set up the sample application, and points to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/files/webcentertutorialcontent.zip for downloading the file.
    But that page has been updated to 11g. I was able to find the archived old versions of webcenter, but not that zip file.
    It would very much appreciated if someone knows and let me know where it is.
    Many thanks!
    Newman

    On this page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/documentation/index.html you have a list of all files.
    At the bottom in the Oracle WebCenter 10g (10.1.3.x) section you have a part: Building a WebCenter Application Step by Step Guide with a link to the supported files: http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/tech/webcenter/files/SRDemo_App_Download.zip
    This is from the 10g version...
    You are right that 11g applications does not run on a 10g app server. Oracle 11g fusion middelware uses weblogic as an application server. This does not use the OC4J container anymore.
    11g and 10g have a different licence so if you are using 10g and you want to use 11g, you need to buy a licence for weblogic and so on.
    If you are currently looking into the use of webcenter/portlets and you are planning to use it later on, than oracle will propose 11g because i don't think 10g is supported... I don't think you can buy a webcenter 10g license..
    By the way... You can install jdeveloper 11g in a sepperate middelware folder than your 10g version. This means that you easily can use them together. If you are planning on using webcenter, the best thing to do is install jdeveloper 11.1.1.3 (latest stable version) and install the webcenter extension. This allow you to easily create portlet producers and webcenter applications. You can easily deploy them on the integrated server. This is a lot easier than in the 10g release.

  • Regarding classes12.zip files for JDBC usage

    Hello friends,
    I need classes12.zip file for oracle 10g database, & where we need to place them....
    Regards,
    sai.

    Hello sai,
    I need classes12.zip file for oracle 10g databaseI'd recommend to download "general" JDBC drivers from the corresponding OTN page: [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html]. I'm not sure if you really want the "classes12.zip", as these drivers are for the outdated Java versions 1.2 and 1.3. Especially these do not (fully) support the current 11.2 XE release. If you can, choose the most recent 11.2 driver download that fits to the JDK version you actually want to use, e.g.      ojdbc6.jar for JDK 6. If you really need to old classes12.zip, you'll find the latest version of these in the [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/jdbc-10201-088211.html]JDBC drivers for 10.2.
    where we need to place them....You need to place them in the classpath of the application that is supposed to use them. Since you didn't tell us anything about it, that's really hard to tell.

  • Windows User Says She is Not Receiving All Zipped Files I Send on Mac

    Hi,
    I am using a MPB running Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.8, and I send a weekly batch of seven Word documents in a zip file to a client using Archive Utility. However, lately she has told me she has gotten six files, then a folder that is called "Mac OSX", and within that folder are the same six files, and she never sees the seventh one. When I send the same zip file that I send her to myself in Gmail, and I get the seven Word docs as expected. Does anyone know what might be going on? I am perplexed, especially because I cannot reproduce it on my end. Oddly enough, she says she got all seven files last week, but not this week, or two weeks ago, so it doesn't happen consistently, but I told her I'd try and sort it out.
    Thanks!

  • I opened an email with a zip file with virus, it could not unzipped but is my lap top infected?

    is true an apple lap top can't get virus?

    It can get a virus if there were one designed for OS X. However, a Windows virus cannot affect it. Never open files sent by email unless you know the source.

    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
