Rouge Address book! (a virus?)

Hello,
My MB has recently been having a problem where, out of nowhere, the address book will open and then put the processor in a full sprint. I'll be typing a document with 2:45min left and then as soon as it kicks on the fan goes crazy and my time remaining goes straight to 0:43 min even with the screen all the way down next to black out. It will then continue until the battery is spent which is usually not more than 20min later.
The address book program then will not quit, and if I try to force quit it, it immediately reopens. I can nut shut down because it will prevent finder from shutting down and then has to be manually turned off. Also I've noticed that when this happens my airport antenna just shows an exclamation mark and says it cannot connect.
Could this be a virus? I don't even know what to do if one of my macs gets a virus. Does apple have some way you can contact them about it or am I on my own?
Has anyone heard of this? It did not start until about two weeks after installing OSX 10.6 so I'm not sure it is the OS.
Thank you in advance.
Frank

Hi,
There are no Mac viruses in the wild so you can rule that out.
After reading your other post here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10222509#10222509
I think you might have an Address Book item that you have retored from TM that might be corrupted and causing AB to crash.
Try deleting the Address Book preference file.
com.apple.addressbook.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
Drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
Launch AB and see if the problem persists. If it does and you cannot force quit the app the usual way, launch the Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) Click the pop up menu on the right and select My Processes. Select Address Book in the list, then click the Red Button to Force Quit the application.
Check your start up disk for available space.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
If necessary, go here for help to free up space.

If you have a router or use an Apple Airport Extreme BS or an Apple Express, try resetting the hardware.

TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

hi guys,
I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

No it isn't!
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful:

I have some sort of phishing virus on my iPad or iMac. I inadvertently opened an attachment and I am now seeing odd emails being sent to my address book?

I opened an attachment on my iPad email which I believe now was a phishing virus. I am now send sending random emails to my address book. I also have a pop email account on my iMac and have been advised to upgrade my op system to mountain lion and download virusbarrier app.bot sure what to do on my opadvor on which device the virus is?

There is no malware involved here.
First, there is no malware of any kind that will work on an iPad, unless that iPad has been jailbroken. So you can open attachements willy-nilly on an iPad without fear of infection, because the iPad strictly disallows any executable code to run unless it has come directly from the App Store.
So, what's probably going on is that your e-mail account has been hacked. This could have happened if you got a phishing e-mail (phishing is not the same as a virus) and fell for it, by clicking a link and then providing your e-mail account login credentials at the resulting page. Or it could be a completely isolated event, unrelated to anything you have done. (Though if you used a weak password, that would certainly increase the chances of getting hacked.) You should change the e-mail password ASAP.

HT4759 Address book hacked and virus problem since using iCloud

Had my address book hacked, and virus emails sent to all since using icloud. Help!! none available on line!

You're posting in the "iCloud on my Mac" forum, but your profile just says "PC"... are you accessing iCloud from a Mac or a PC? If it's a PC, they get hit by viruses that do this sort of thing all the time. If you're using a Mac, it's almost certainly not malware of any kind. In the latter case, see Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!

My computer got a serious virus and I had to have it wiped clean and reinstall windows os system. I don't have a copy of my thunderbird email address book. I need to reinstall thunderbird now, but is there a way to get back my old account complete with address book?

If your contatcs were imported from your webemail yes you can get your contacts back, you just need find the option to Export your Address Book in the Webemail site

My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

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.

Address book model is not respected when I add new fields

Hello,
If I add new fields in the model of my adress book. AddressBook display does not comply with the specified model.
For example, after father, mother and joint, I added the following fields child 1, grand-child 1, child 2, grand-child 2, child 3, grand-child 3, child 4, grand-child 4, in order to have descendants of my friend or family.
The result is :
child 3 : Oscar
child 4 : Anatole
child 2 : Victor
child 5 : Constantin
child 1 : Aline
Please note that I entered the 5 children in the good order : Aline, Victor, Oscar, Anatole, Constantin.
An other example can be completely different with children and grand-children mixed !
To be complete, I can say that in Mac OS X 10.4 address book was running correctly, but is no longer running in 10.5 nor 10.6.7
Best regards
Bergama

The iPad can't be infected with a virus - by the definition of a virus being a malicious program that replicates itself across your operating system and other programs. It can be infected with malware, however that usually only happens when a user taps on a link, or actively does something.
Since the iPad can't run flash or java (?)(all or most kinds of java) then it's relatively secure.
You're probably fine.
The iPad's operating system is different enough from Mac's or PC's that even if you do tap on a virus it can't run...the malicious code is speaking a language that the iPad can't understand.

Address Book, Spotlight ERRORS!

Hello members and outside viewers,
These are software related issues, but I think of might be Mac Pro specific. I migrated everything from a G5 some time ago, but these issues occured in the near past.
First: My Address Book behaves very strange.
After startup, the window freezes. Only if I minimize and click again, works OK. I began used to it, BUT
Since yesterday, Addresses gone, disappeared from every entry.
Under Preferences » Address Format is uneditable, it has "Item3" in it, unclickable drop down menu.
Under Preferences »Template » Add Field several options are grey: "Phone", "Email", "Related Names", "Instant Messaging", "Address".
Please can you help me! I deleted both plist files from Preferences folder and deleted the whole folder under Application Support/AddressBook, also reinstalled Address Book from Leopard DVD, but nothing helped so far.
Second thing: when I invoke Spotlight, and start typing after 2-3 seconds, it quits and also Dock unusable, restarts automatically. Spotlight is useless, it behaves every time like this. Spotlight in Finder windows are OK, system-wide menubar has this error. Also, it was suddenly gone wrong like Address Book. Can I think of some virus?
P.S. (off topic), might helpful to share: very frustating, that registering to Discussions took me over an hour.
With Safari 4.03 the "Name" and "AppleID" are blank fields on "Create New User Account", therefore impossible to proceed. ( Error: invalid AppleID. Please login with a different AppleID )
With Firefox you can actually see them, but "?" instead of accounted letters.
After changing My Info, I finally realised that Apple ID should be complete e-mail address.
That means my "visionfresh" account is totally different from "[email protected]" (or me.com, whatever..)
Not to mention that I created a new Apple ID, that was also not working.
Bottom line: my "[email protected]" account is working also in Safari after editing my Name (replace accented characters), but I could not proceed with the nickname "visionfresh", I chose "matyashuszar".

Outlook 2013 Not Responding and Offline Address Book Issues with Office 365

Around 3 months ago I setup a small business with Office 365 for email. They have 10 PCs, all running newly installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, eight with Office 2013 and two with Office 2010. All are connected to a local domain (Server Essentials
2012) with a single internet connection through a new TP-LINK router. Each user logs into their own PC only.
The network runs perfectly, internet connection is good but there seems to be RANDOM, INTERMITTENT issues with email not being SENT from Outlook every so often. Email will sit in the outbox for up to an hour sometimes before, eventually, being sent. Incoming
email seems ok, although this is more difficult to tell. At others times, email will be sent instantly - the size of the message and any attachments makes no difference.
The issue has happened at some point on every one of the PCs but no particular PC/user seems worse than any other. When email is stuck on one user's PC it can still be sent ok by other users at the same time - so the internet connection is not down. Users can
can always login to the OWA service ok and iPhones etc. all sync ok even when email is stuck in the Outbox.
To debug the issue I have worked on one particular user's PC and carried out the following changes -
Changes that made no difference
I have checked the router. A SPI firewall is available on the router but this is switched off.
I have changed the MTU on the router with no effect.
There are no unsual add-ins to Outlook
Outgoing email virus scanning is disabled
Outlook is NOT integrated with Lync
The OST file is around 1.7 GBytes is size.
I have recreated the Outlook profile twice but this made no difference
Switched OFF "Cached Exchange Mode" - this made things worse !
The Outlook address book is set to \Offline Global Address List
I have disabled with Windows firewall on the client PC - no change
I have adjusted the KeepAliveTime for packets in the registry of the PC to 20 minutes
Changes that reduced the frequency of "Not Responding"
I have changed the Outlook automatic Send/Receive time from 30 to 10 minutes - this seemed to help
Possible Related Problem
I have attempted to download the offline address book manually - this hangs at "Copying offline address book template file" in the Send/Receive dialog and there a NO OAB files in the data file location on the PC.
So the only measure that has so far "helped" has been the Outlook Send/Receive time change - now set to 10 minutes. Even so, Outlook will occasionally go "Not Responding" for 30 minutes or more (no windows active - only option
is to close and reopen Outlook).
There does seem to be a problem with the Offline Address book. I can download this ok for this user on my home PC (Outlook 2010) but this will not download manually on the work pc with Outlook 2013 (despite following all the debug steps above).
On work PC I can see literally hundreds of "Schannel" errors in the Windows System event logs -
Error - Event 36888 Schannel
The following fatal error was generated :10
The internal error state is 10
These errors occur every 2-4 minutes continually all the time Outlook is running. When Outlook is closed the "Schannel" errors stop !
Can anyone suggest what else to try, please ?
I have already investigated this issue on the Office 365 Community Forum, and the Outlook forum and they suggested that it was a client (i.e Outlook) issue and that I should post here for further information.
Thanks for reading !

An update to this problem.
I brought one of the office PCs back to my home network and connected it up there. With no changes to the PC I was immediately able to download the Offline Address Book without errors.
This suggests to me that there must be some problem with the internet connection or router setup in the office environment.
The router is a TP-LINK W8970. The internet connection is PPPoA. I have seen some suggestion that an SPI firewall can cause issues. This router has an SPI firewall but this feature is disabled on the router.
While investigating this issue I have frequently been connected remotely to an office PC - sometimes for up to an hour or more. During these periods I have not experienced any connection dropouts so the actual internet connection seems to be ok (i.e. it is
not dropping out).
However, something seems to be preventing the Outlook client from connecting properly with the Office 365 Exchange server in the office environment - or something is dropping the connection to Outlook. Does anyone know of any router settings that might affect
this ?
I could try changing the office router but I do not have a spare available. Can anyone suggest a reasonably low cost, currenbtly available router that they know definitely works in the Office 365 environment so that I could buy this for test purposes ?

Suddendly (no external shock) Thunderbird stopped finding the address book, but it finds the right addresses when sending a mail with a name existing in the Boo

The phrase is all what happens. If ask for the address of, say, Joe (existing in the book), it gives nothing. If I write an e-mail message to Joe, Thunderbird inserts the correct address to Joe, and if I send it, it goes correctly. The Address book looks "strange" its content (nearly empty) does not correspond to what it was. I am working in Linux Mint 17.1 with great satisfaction fo the rest.
Thanks for helping. Giancarlo.

Thanks for answering,
however I miss what to send you: The address book is missing most of my contacts (they were there, before), but if I send a mail to one of those missing contacts Thunderbird attach the correct address without my intervention: funny. Mau be a virus did that, bu how can I recover the missing address book (hidden somewhere, certainly). I cannot show in a screen copy the facts I describe here. Anyway I enclose the screenshot of the opening of the actual address book. Please ask me any useful question on the above.
Again thank and greetings,
giancarlo.

Unable to import Mac address book into Thunderbird

I have Address Book on my Mac and am trying to import it into Thunderbird. I have gone to Tools>Import>address books>text file. But when I try to choose Address Book in applications, it is not highlighted , so it is not an option to choose.
I have also tried to export it into Thunderbird: In Address Book file>export>Export group vCard and again, when I go to choose Address Book in applications, it is not highlighted so it is not an option to choose.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Help please.

Close your Thunderbird completely and reopen it, still doesn't work
To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

How can I import iPhone contacts into Mac Address book

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am in the process of trying to dump my Windows PC.
All of my important contacts are on my iPhone. How can I get those contacts into my Mac Address Book?
The same question goes for the music (ripped from CD) and my video files that are on my iPhone? The media is not that big of a deal because I can easily transfer it from my PC to my Mac but I assume I am not the only one in the world trying to do this and that Apple would make it very easy for MSFT Windows users to easily migrate to Macs.
I must be an idiot but I don't see any option in iTunes to transfer the data from my iPhone into iTunes and/or the Address Book.
Thanks

The iPhone's primary function is NOT a word processor or a spread sheet analyzer.
I didn't say, nor was I trying to imply ANYTHING of the sort. You should read what I provided again a little slower and in it's entirety, not taking this out of context, which you made into Apples and Oranges.
It IS an iPod, a device designed to store and play music (in addition to being a browser and a phone).
It is a phone, an iPod, and an internet device, which supports transferring iTunes content from iTunes on a single computer ONLY.
Making it difficult to transfer my legal music from my iPhone to my Mac does not make me want to go out and buy more Apple products or Apple software.
Good, then don't - no skin off my back. I couldn't care less if you want to remain a Windows sufferer. All this doesn't come from Apple. Much of it comes from those who OWN the distribution rights for content sold thru the iTunes Store.
All of Apple's commercials imply how easy the user experience is over Windows. Well, in this case, they missed the boat BIG TIME!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let me get this straight. You will likely need to transfer much more than just music from your Windows PC to your Mac and if so, how do you plan on accomplishing this? If you are transferring Word and Excel files, photos, and any other data, you won't be using an iPhone for this, so I don't see the big deal with transferring your iTunes library along with all other data being transferred.
I understand that the iPhone was not designed to be used as a backup. However, you allow the contacts to be merged in but not the music that I legally installed (but didn't purchase from the iTunes store).
I don't allow anything - this is a user to user help forum only.
As I provided in my first post in this thread - the sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks with an iPhone is bidirectional with the supported application on your computer. This is a sync process by definition of syncing - which is not the same for other data such as iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Apple wants to make it difficult unless I purchased the music from iTunes.
No, Apple or really those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for content sold thru the iTunes Store wants to make this difficult. Content sold thru the iTunes Store is set up by Apple to be a break even - which is included with the Apple stockholder's report. Apple makes their profit via sales of the iPod and iPhone. The bulk of the iTunes Store revenue goes to those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for the content.
In addition, if my hard disk suffered a crash and I lost all my music it just seems stupid not to be able to pull it off my iPhone (yes, I know data should be backed up on a different drive, and mine is, but I am sure a lot of people do not back up their data).
Maintaining a backup of your data is important for this very reason, and for other reasons which is not Apple's responsibility. I believe iTunes includes an occasional warning message to backup your iTunes library (which can be turned off), and iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - since the overwhelming majority of this content includes DRM protection required by those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders.
The iPhone was not designed as an external storage device or as a backup device - end of story. If someone chooses not to maintain a backup, they are playing Russian roulette with their data. Maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform, but even more so when running Windows with constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

Address Book window

Hi. I'm using Address Book to organize my data...and it works just fine.
The only problem I can't solve is:
When openning a card, (which has name,phone, email...) it places a huge 'gap' between the fields, so I have to scroll...actually it should place the fields line by line...
I don't know what's going on.
if anyone could help...!
Thank you,
mk.

You're on to something; I think it's just the address panel window, as there's no way the Address Book app would be able to open quickly enough and then close quickly enough for me not to catch it.
I can't figure out what is triggering the panel popping up though -- it's certainly not the Mail-specified key command. Plus, when it pops up, it pops up in the background and then just as quickly disappears.
I was concerned that it was some kind of a virus trying to farm email addresses out of my address book.

Rouge Address book! (a virus?)
