Suspicious Activity?
I was checking my Yahoo mail (On the website) for the first time in like forever and it said i had an email from Facebook saying "antonio, you have notifications" or something like that... but the thing is i don't have a Facebook nor is my name antonio... I told my closest friend and he thought it was a fake Facebook we had created a while back so he put in MY password (that i use for a lot of things) and it worked! i have no recollection of making this account... but i don't know if it would work if put any other combination of numbers and letters into that sign in box... i changed the password on that acct. and deactivated it but im still wondering if it was a virus... i immediately opened console (on my macbook pro) and i found some messges I've never seen before (ill put some of them below) . i have no clue what these mean but can someone tell me if i should worry about these or ignore them? (oh and i also have firewall on)
Here are some of the messages:

On Friday afternoon, I attempted to reply to emails in my Yahoo Inbox, but I received a pop-up message preventing me from sending the emails. It said that my emails cannot be sent due to suspected "suspicious activity" on my email account and cannot send it in order to protect me and those I am attempting to send the messages to. I looked up Yahoo Help and the online suggestion was that my ISP might be blocking the email and I might have to change my ISP address. My antivirus software carrier's server went down briefly a couple of weeks ago and I could not upload the updates until they were up and running again. I had some suspicious emails generated from my account during that time, without my knowledge. I changed my password immediately and updated my Email Protection through my antivirus software program. But now I can't send emails. Any suggestions? Thank you!

The message is; Windows detected security error, due to suspicious activity found on your computer. Contact Windows Certified Live Tech ( 1.866.606.2003). If I clk the OK button , there are multiple layered windows that will appear after that. Can't get out of it , except to quit Safari. earlier today before this happened I was on Facebook, Instagram, responding email cutting and paste transactions and saving it to Microsoft word. then I turned off my lap top for several hours. When I turned it back on awhile ago, I discovered this problem. on top of that aI can't even clear the history everything is gray out except for the Earlier today, and the day and date of the month. I tried several times to quit Safari, turn off and turn back on my lap top to no avail. My question is; How do I go by to in getting this error message when I click on Safari? Does that mean that I might have a virus in my lap top? Please Help. Thanks.Force Quit .

I got a message on my MacBook pro screen that says " Safari Alert" and then goes on to say "suspicious activity might have been detected". It doesn't let me exit the site and keeps reappearing even after I force quit Safari and even after I shut down my computer and turn it back on. What can I do?
Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect the computer from the Internet.

You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
com.something.daemon.plist
and
com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.
Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Locked Out of Mail - Suspicious Activity Error!!!!...

No idea what this error message means and as for suspicious activity, they could have chosen a more intuitive - explanatory error message.
This is really irritating, has anybody else experienced this??

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Skype account locked due to suspicious activity - ...
My Skype account was locked (I have since had it released and reset my password), due to 'suspicious activity'.
This activity, however, was not suspicious.
Myself and my partner both use it for business. He is travelling in the Philippines at the moment, and when I log in I use it from the UK.
Is there any way to contact Skype to inform them of this so that the lock doesn't happen again?
Many thanks!After not receiving satisfactory treatment, I am now posting this to ALL of my social media:
I was hacked by a Russian Hacker, into my Primary Skype Account. I have gone through the process of reclamation of my account four times, and been denied restoration every time. I don't want to drag out all the background, or the stupidity of Skype. But I recommend that all Skype customers find alternative services for future usage, and uninstall Skype programs on their devices.
I will never ever use a Skype program again in my entire life. I recommend that you do the same. When Skype is incapable of even looking at a situation with honesty, and rewards thieves for stealing, then they have no business being in business. -
I'm unable to open Safari. I keep getting a alert security message Suspicious Activity Might Have been Detected. How can I fix this problem?
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Complaint: Suspicious activity... ??? I cannot sen...
Ok,
complaint after another...
And now this:
my OVI mail adress became the center of all my email acounts, on my phones and on the web(
http://ovi.mg5.mail.yahoo.com)
i own 9 domains and websites, wich has per domain at least 2 adresses. so minimum 18 mail accounts are sending a copy to my ovi adress.
I can receive mails, but when i try to send one on http://ovi.mg5.mail.yahoo.com, or reply, it always asks me to fill in a captcha and after that, it says: We found suspicious activity, and you are not able to send an email.
**bleep**?????
Nokia and its services are costing me alot of money lately (not receiving push mail on my E7 and this issue that I am not able to reply via http://ovi.mg5.mail.yahoo.com webbased mail.
I called Nokia Support, 3 times today, and Ive spent 2 hours on the phone.
I explained the situation, they were unable to help me.
They asked my serial numbers of the phones, I gave them my email adress (ovi) and a couple adresses that are pointing to that adress, my name, evertyhing, and the conclusion was they could'nt even find me in their system.
So basicly, I was angry again,
I already phoned them earlier last week about my E7 issue ( in another topic)
And that I was unsatisfied etc etc.. Apart from that I lost over 2K because i couldnt respond nor see the mails in time.
So, if someone can check my email account, and reactivate it, or whatever you have to do, please do.
If not, then this will be the very last time I will use any device of nokia or use any nokia services.

Suspicious activity in the console log
I was looking at my Macbook Pro's console log and there are some suspicious items in there.
For example:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder , IP Address changes, websites I’ve never visited, and something called x-terminal that keeps popping up on my desktop.
I have only used my Macbook for internet browsing and have never run or entered any computer codes in the console log.
Is there an explanation? Is it possible that any of the above could be run without me doing anything?try upgrading to at least 10.4.4 of mac OS as there may be an issue with 6.0.3 running on 10.3.9...that might fix it
