Security errors and phishing website? how do i get rid of the error message?

mac book pro with mac os x lion10.7.5. I think I got a virus. i'm getting a security error window when i'm on safari. I ran Bitdefender virus scan on whole system and it came up clean. I cant get internet access because of the warning. I don't know what else to do. Can't get to genius bar until tomorrow night but need help asap.

It is not a virus.
It is a scam.
What is far more dangerous for your Mac is having Bitdefender install on it. Bit defender is worthless crapware and should be uninstalled.

    How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?  This message shows up 3 times when I boot my iMac.

    I do have a USB hard drive hooked up to the Airport.  I've never created an AppleScript for it.  Should I disconnect the USB drive and see if I still get the error message?
    Thanks for your reply!

A number of word(s) ineed do appear, however it is not possible to select any of them as ws possible as mentioned in olders versions.

  • LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

    I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

    Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that  you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?

  • TS2755 How do i get rid of the "saved messages" on my iphone?

    whener i go to setting>general>usage it shows that i have 1.8gb of "saved messages". How do i get rid of these?

    Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
    Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
    Make a backup in iTunes
    open iBackupBot (Google it)
    Go to the relevant backup
    Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
    Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
    Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
    Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
    They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
    Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
    Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments! 
    P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!

  • I searched on "ev handl" and found three questions on the problem I am having. I didn't see an answer. I am using windows 7 with the latest firefox update. How do I get rid of the error message?

    when opening windows in Fire Fox, I am getting a Java Script Application message. "Exc in ev handl: Type Error: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function"
    I have Windows 7

    Your message is a little bit different but very similar to other message and it includes "SA" in the message, so I'm suggesting...
    Best solution appears to be to uninstall Site Advisor from system and then to reinstall again from www.siteadvisor.com as noted in https://community.mcafee.com/message/203466
    Also refer to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions relating to McAfee Site Advisor 3.4.0 for more specific instructions.

  • How do I get rid of the automated message after my outgoing voicemail?

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a 16GB iPhone 3G, and I recently I contacted AT&T regarding problems I was having with the recently deployed Free Wi-Fi service at AT&T hotspots. The problem was resolved, but in the process AT&T reset my voicemail account. Since then, every time someone calls me, they hear my custom outgoing voicemail message, followed by the dreaded automated message, "At the tone, please record your message. When you are finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options." One of my favorite things about the iPhone's visual voicemail was that it cut through all this type of excess! In an effort to resolve this (it was never like the before and I know I don't get the automated message when I call my friends who have iPhones), I called Apple Tech Support. They told me there to call the number 1-800-331-0500, and simply reset my pass code, and that this would fix it. Feeling relieved, I followed their instructions, but to no avail. I called AT&T and was told that "This is a new feature that AT&T has added to their voicemail service" and that "Anyone who has their voicemail reset would now have this new feature added to their voicemail." I was told there is no way to disable it! Is this in fact the case? Am I now stuck with this new "feature"? If anyone knows how to get rid of this, please let me know! If anyone from Apple is reading this, can you PLEASE see if anything can be done about removing this extremely annoying "feature" from iPhone voicemail? Thanks very much!
    David

    Hi David,
    On your iPhone, when you press Phone> Voicemail, does it Call standard voicemail or show Visual Voicemail?
    It sounds like this issue would be resolved by contacting AT&T again.

    Also, you might be able to find the answer on the AT&T message boards.

  • How do I get rid of the text messages on my phone for good?

    After I delete the texts I can't recieve incoming messages? I can only recieve those messages after I restart my iphone but then all the older messages I had just deleted come back.

    If you wish to delete a whole conversation, then you simply go to the left side of the conversasions panel and slide your finger to the left. If you wish to delete only a few, then hold the bubble until it has a few options come up, chose more than choose delete. That wil not delete the text from the other persons phone, you are not able to do that wothout taking there phone. Hope that helped

  • When I use under file save page as a desktop icon firefox downloads 2 a icon and a folder, how do I get rid of the folder and just keep the icon like in I.E.

    I'm just trying to save my favorite website short cut icon to the desktop instead of using bookmarks for everything. In I.E. you have the option to save to desktop your favorite website and you only get a shortcut icon. but in Firefox if you save your website to your desktop you get both the website icon but also a folder. but if I try to remove or delete the folder it removes the icon also. how in Firefox can I get just a shortcut icon for favorite website but without the folder.

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

  • Itunes or icolud created a ton of the same playlist and now its on all my devices (iphone, my pc itunes, and i pad) how to i get ride of the efficiently?

    While on vacation I tried to create one new playlist, but for some reason my ipad decided to create thousand(s) of the same one, and since I have icloud they created were on my iphone, ipad, and my itunes library on my pc,  now have and so many of the same playlist that I cant even count how many there are, but my best estimate in in the thousands. The worst part is now all of my devices with itunes are running slow, and if I click on the playlist it will run slow, and eventually works but not like it used to.
    I've tried deleting them on my iphone or ipad, but to delete one takes about 10-15 seconds and it would take me about a month to do it this way. I tried deleting them from itunes on my PC but it is even worse doing it that way, it just freezes and since the names are all the same I can't even tell if there being deleted.
    I have tried selecting more then one of the same playlist in itunes but it doesnt work.
    Has anyone else ran into anything like this? I know it might sound kind of minor but I used my playlist all the time and now I'm scared to even click on them because it just starts this long, annoying waiting game.
    Help!
