System Doctor Pop Up

Getting this annoying popup for systemdoctor. What I read online is that it is mainly a PC issue and can't find removal instructions for mac. (Using Firefox) Is there a security risk? What actions should be taken?

Hello, 
This is just an advert that is paying for one or more of your favourite websites. Open Firefox > Firefox menu > Preferences... > Content tab > check "Block Popup Windows".
More generally; there are no OS X viruses, and all executable software (i.e. that which could potentially cause harm) has to installed by you entering the OS X Password. This means that harmful websites can't do this in the background like they can on a Windows PC. Do check that your OS X Firewall is enabled as this will prevent prying eyes. ( Apple menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Firewall tab).

  • Annoyuing Antimalware Doctor pop up. How do I get rid of it.

    While in any application on line I am interuped with this annoying Antimalware Doctor pop up. Did Firefox send it? How do I get rid of it?

    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks - System errors popping up in /private/var/tmp ... Help!!

    Hi there,
    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, and installed my standard software, I'm getting some odd behaviour.
    Every so often (no discernable pattern so far) my Finder pops up with a new window in /private/var/tmp.  There is a huge system stacktrace printed out in a file with the following format: "
    sysdiagnose_2013.10.30_19-53-16-MDT_9956.tar.gz
    There are a ton of files in there, so I have no idea how to figure out what is crashing and causing it. I get no "system crash message" to go along with it.

  • System extension Pop-up

    Logging on this pop-up is on the screen everytime, what do I need to do to get rid of it, thanks.
    System extension cannot be used:
    the system extension"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.  Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, copy and paste the entire following line into it, and press the Run button:
    do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" with administrator privileges
    If it doesn’t work, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /System/Library/Extensions/ as the path, throw the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext item away, and reinstall iTunes.

  • BSP-System:logoff & Pop-Up-Killer

    Hello,
    we use the BSP "SYSTEM" to logon/logoff from our SAP WebAS. One of our Web-User has a software instaled on his PC that prevents Pop-Up's on Web-Pages (WebWasher) - eBAY ranks on #1 on my own list
    Now the logout mechnism does not work anymore for this guy.
    Is there any chance to use the portal integration flag or the runtime->session_manager->is_running flag to build any workaround for that problem?
    Regards, Bernd

    Well the guy gets what he wants.:)
    What we have played with is an inline logoff sequence. You can find an example in B20, BSP app ITSM. I will probably only complete it after my holiday for a new weblog. But it is sufficient good to show you the way.
    If you make it work, you can append a sample here (or write the weblog!).

  • Make System Pages pop ups

    Hi There I wouldd like my system pages to be pop ups or small wind sizes - say 400 x 350.

    As I started uninstalling Apple products, I started to get this error message saying "The program can't start becasue SyncServcies.dll is missing fro your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."  What program?
    It'll be a component of your MobileMe producing that. It's actually an Apple Mobile Device Support program file, but MobileMe uses AMDS program files. So if you uninstalled AMDS, that's the likely cause of the error.
    If you did uninstall AMDS, let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does that clear up the error message?

  • System alert/pop up on min Inventory

    how can i initialize a pop-up/alert when an item in a particular warehouse reaches the min. inventory.
    Regards
    Antony

    Antony,
    To have an alert, you would need to generate a query using table OTIM - with a condition to generate report whenever the stock of a particular item goes down below the mini order level.
    The query generated should then assign the same in an alert management.
    Use this query for this purpose
    SELECT T0.ItemName, T0.OnHand FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.OnHand < T0.MinLevel
    Assign points if useful.
    Thanks,
    Srikanth

  • Pop accounts and .Mac with Mail system

    Iv been trying to learn how to use my iBooks 'mail' system with both my Gmail and .Mac accounts. But, keep coming up with more questions than I can find answers to.
    1. Why doesn't mail that I receive or send from my 'mail' programme show up when I go to .Mac and open the mail there? Shouldn't the mail be in both?
    2. Same question for folders that I created in both .Mac and the 'mail' system.
    3. When using the 'mail' system with POP accounts does deleting mail automatically also delete the mail in the original POP account. In other words if I have the 'mail' system set to delete POP mail for a Gmail account does that also delete the copy over in Gmail?
    Just trying to figure out how the 'mail' system works in relation to if I use .Mac. Also, in relation to Gmail. I'm learning that when I'm in .Mac things aren't quite the same.
    Thank for the help in advance.

    You can access multiple accounts with the Mail.app and each account has its own webmail access that does not reflect all mailboxes available with an email client such as the Mail.app. It is impossible for webmail access with your .Mac account to reflect your Gmail, Yahoo or any other non-.Mac account mailboxes or any user created "On My Mac" location mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive.
    The same when accessing your Gmail or Yahoo account via webmail access using a browser. Doing so will reflect your Gmail or Yahoo account mailboxes only.
    When logged in to your .Mac account via webmail access using a browser, it will reflect your .Mac account's inbox mailbox in Mail and any other .Mac server stored mailboxes in Mail which are located under your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer only. It will not reflect the mailboxes for any other account, any imported mailboxes or user created "On My Mac" location mailboxes.
    > Sounds like what you're saying that in order for both .Mac and my mail.app to sync they both have to be marked ".Mac account" and not "on my Mac". That way they both operate from the main Mac server. Am I heading in the right direction?
    Not exactly.
    The Mail.app mailboxes drawer includes the following in this order:
    * Inbox
    * Drafts
    * Sent
    * Trash
    * Junk (only if Junk Mail is set to automatic)
    * Smart Mailboxes (only if you have created and are using any Smart Mailboxes)
    * Imported Mailboxes (only if you have imported any mailboxes)
    * User Created "On My Mac" location mailboxes.
    * .Mac account named icon
    The Inbox mailbox for each account is located under Inbox in the mailboxes drawer regardless the account type. Open Inbox in the mailboxes drawer by selecting the black triangle beside it pointing it down to reveal the account named Inbox mailbox for each account. Selecting an account named Inbox mailbox in the mailboxes drawer reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. Selecting Inbox in the mailboxes drawer reveals a blended Inbox mailbox for all accounts.
    Your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox in the mailboxes drawer is synchronized with the server which is the same behavior with any IMAP account. Messages in your Gmail or Yahoo account's Inbox mailbox are downloaded from the server, not synchronized with the Gmail or Yahoo servers and the same with any POP account. It is impossible for your .Mac account to synchronize the Inbox mailbox for a non-.Mac account.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for your .Mac account preferences, if you don't store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server with your .Mac account when using Mail, the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes will be available under the Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk categories in the mailboxes drawer. All account mailboxes under Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer are stored locally on the hard drive.
    Open your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer. All mailboxes under your .Mac account named icon represent/refelect your .Mac account server stored mailboxes when accessing the account via webmail EXCEPT for the account's Inbox mailbox which is located under Inbox in the mailboxes drawer. If you don't select store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences, besides your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox, no other mailboxes are and can be synchronized with the server except for the mailboxes located under your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer.
    When creating a new mailbox, you can select "On My Mac" as the location which is stored locally on the hard drive and will not be synchronized with the server or any server.
    Or you can select your .Mac account as the location which will create a server stored mailbox which will be located under your .Mac account named icon in the mailboxes drawer and will be available on the server (via webmail access) and kept synchronized with the server.
    No other mailboxes in Mail will be available on the server with your .Mac account via webmail access and this is the same behavior with any email client such as the Mail.app.
    > Is this something I should ring up Applecare on to make it simpler to make them match? Or would changing them all to ".Mac account" and the server solve the issue?
    Calling AppleCare will be a waste of time because your problem is a lack of knowledge and understanding only. You can't change your Gmail or Yahoo email accounts to a .Mac account with Mail or with any email client since these are separate/different accounts.
