Suspect virus, how to detect?

Recent problem sometimes accessing/using certain websites (including apple/amazon/ebay) and getting error message: requested URL not found on this server, additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered...., I checked with the server host and no problem there. I use ClamX and no prior problems. Is there a better way to check my system? Problem may have started after a friend attached a flash stick and tried to download Adobe Flash Player to play something. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi mexitim;
I seriously doubt that you have a virus.
I would tend to suspect your friend of hosing things up for you.
Can you give us more detail such as what hardware you are using and the like. Maybe if you can tell us more we might be able to help you.

How do I stop the "virus has been detected" emails?

I am running OS X Server 10.8.2. The Mail Server frequently sends me "A virus has been detected" emails. I want to stop these emails entirely, because the emails are being screened out by my spam filter anyway.
I turned off mail virus filtering in the Server app, but that hasn't changed this; I still get the alert emails.
How do I stop my OS X Server from sending me these virus alert emails?

In the Server app go to the Delivery tab in the Alerts section. Under settings you can turn off the Virus detected alerts.

Hello,
Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

How to Detect browser crash

hi i want to know how to detect browser crash or the way to go about it , i can use any language to any api's plz specify me some solution .It would be really healpfull

paul_123 wrote: hi i want to know how to detect browser crash ..
Like the other person that replied, I do not quite understand why it is of interest that the end user's browser crashes. If, like they suspect, it is to do with your applet, I think the best solution is to launch the applet using webstart and forget the browser. If the end user launches a webstart based applet from the browser and the browser crashes, the applet will keep working just fine.
Is your applet publicly available? If so, what is the URL where we can see it?

You don't have a virus. It's a scam. Ignore it. If you installed something because a web page told you to, then follow the instructions here:

How to detect Memory Leaking Problem in Java

I have a Java multithreading program & I suspect that there is a memory leaking issue in the program. Can someone tell me how can I know how to detect where is the memory leakage in the program?
I have download a few tools like hat, jprobe, optimizeit but not sure how to use it. I am using jdk1.3.0 in HP-UX
Thks

Not so true, you could have a memory leak if you accidental hold on to a resource, or maybe you have threads running that you have no reference to, and those threads hold some resources.
Optimizeit is pretty easy to use. You start you application with Optimize it, so Optimizeit is you JVM so to speak. In optimizeit you can get a list of active objects. If this list grows and grows, you probably have a problem. Let it run for a while, and see which objects are the most present, dubble-click it, and it lets you step down into you methods. This way you can maybe find you leak.
Good luck :)

How to detect USB Flash Drive name in LabVIEW

Hi there
I was looking for how to detect a USB Flash Drive name in Labview
appearently every time i insert USB Flash Drive in a computer, windows assign it a different name
once "J:" and sometimes "M:"
Is there anyway to obtain USB Flash Drive name programmatically in Labview ?
Because in my program an user shouldn't be able to access HDD Drives except his USB Flash Drive (for inserting some file ...)
thank you and excuse me for my poor english

I was able to get the demo.vi to load, but it could not load the other two because there is no block diagram associated with those. I'm not sure why this is. I haven't had any issues with other llbs before.

How to detect the Acrobat Browser Plug-in version installed on a users system for non-IE browsers?

How to detect the *Acrobat Browser Plug-in version* installed on a users system, on Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc?
Or one script for detecting Plug-in version for major browsers. Need full example code.

Wrote an article on this with code samples (Javascript + HTML) - basically there are differences between IE and other browsers. Chrome natively comes with the Chrome PDF Viewer so I've incorporated that in my detection script.
The script detects the browser type, and the installed acrobat version...
Have a look here:

How to detect the path of Temp directory

I am writing a class library which allows users to manipulate a database in the web server java applications/applets. In my logic the Application/Applet communicate with a CGI script/Servlet in the server and that do all the database handling. My objective is to make the Client independant from the Database Drivers, and to some restrictions and possible security threats that can arrice when accessing the database directly.
99% of the work is done and now I am doing the fine tuning.
My Problem:
When the user downloading a blob object from the server database. each time the program read the blob it will get a new copy from the server. This is not good if the blob is large (few 100 megs) . So I am going to implement a cache system. but the problem is If I am caching in the memory it will not support large objects (Memory is a limited factor). So the preferance is use the Temperary files but I do not know how to detect the path to temperary folder.
And my 2nd questions is are the applets allowed to write and read in temperary folder.

The Java default temporary file path can be determined with
System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")This is typically the same value as the os environment variable

How to detect color pages in a PDF?

I am using a C++ Acrobat plug-in do read/edit a PDF file.
I need to get the total number of pages in the PDF as well as the page numbers of color pages.
So far I have been able to get the total number of pages using PDDocGetNumPages() without any trouble.
However, I cant seem to find an API that lets me know whether a particular page is color or not. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

But what if there is RGB data that means black or gray (R == G == B), does that mean black or RGB?
There is some sample code in the SDK for iterating over the content in the PDF, and then you can get the colorspace and the color of each object.
But you really need to do some background research on colors & colorspaces to properly achieve this goal.

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?
I have a HTML extension running in In-design CC 2014 version.
I want to perform some required set of actions before my extension window is closed(by clicking on the cross button on top right corner).
Does In-design throws any event for it? Or can we capture it using C++ plugin in some way?

Naah.......haven't got any event for that yet.
Although, since HTML extensions are using chromium browser, as a workaround, u can attach listener to HTML onClose event, but it won't solve any purpose if you
are looking to logout session or do some business login in your code.

Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xardas,
I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...

Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

How to detect the final loop iteration of a step in a PostStep Engine Callback?

I see the need to use a PostStep Engine Callback and look at the Step.Result container of the caller.
My issue: If the caller is configured to loop, the PostStep Engine CB executes with each iteration and I do not see how to detect the final iteration (which is the only iteration I am interested in).
Ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance,
Guenter

Guenter,
well, the way i discripted IS the generic way. The reason for this is the following:
You can compare TestStand very well with procedural programming languages. So you have variables with different lifetimes and scope. RunState is one variable, which is available in every scope, but it may have different content.
So you leaving the execution of your clientsequence in order to call the callback, you leave the scope of the RunState from your clientsequence. But only there the information is stored on how many iterations are left. It does not make sense to pass this anywhere, since the execution of your clientsequence has to decide if to loop further or not.
But, please note that there are different scopes for the "disable result recording" as well. You have found the most global one, the station option. But you can as well set this in the sequence settings (Edit >> Sequence Properties >> Disable Result Recording for All Steps) and at step-level (Run Options >> Record Result {uncheck it}).
Looping on a single step using the step settings, you can additionally choose not to record results for each iteration. This will lead to only a single entry in the ResultList, the overall result of the looped step (if resultcollection is enabled of course!).
hope this helps,
Norbert
