Two of my 4 computers have been hit by a hoax viru...

my firewall treated it and deleted it on reboot BUT the skype shortcut was compromised and it was
necessary to uninstall and re-install the product.
the following data came from my sister's laptop this morning:
Source Address:  192.168.135.49.211  Destination Address: 67.148.47.27.80
tcp (flags)  Outgoing 09-23-2013  sis's laptop got hit at 09:34 GMT - the desktop just got hit.
c:\program files (x86)\skype\phone\skype.exe  hoax deleted on reboot
hoax.win32 archsms bfaax

See my reply here:

It is most likely a false positive triggered by an updated definition, since the alternative doesn't make sense.  Report the false positive to your particular AntiVirus company and keep your AntiVirus definitions up to date.  You can also use a different version of Skype that may not trigger it or just exclude Skype.exe from being scanned by your AntiVirus program.

    Welcome to Adobe Community.
    Creative Cloud subscriptions dont need serial numbers as they work on the basis of your Adobe ID and password . You can use a single Creative CLoud subscription on upto two computers only.
    For the charges, i will have to check the same from our end . Can you please provide me your email add in a private message along with the order number as well.

    Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

    how do i find out what computers have been authorized for my account? I have had one stolen and one died but my account shows 5 pcs authorizied? how do i unauthorize a computer not in my hands?

    Iphones do not count. Computers only.
    There is no way to find out what computers.
    Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

  • Recently my movies and videos take forever to load and when they start playing it's for a second or two at a time. Have to hit the play icon over and over, did not use to be this way they work great on my desktop and iPod

    Recently I have been experiencing my downloaded videos and online vids taking a long time to load and when they do, they will only play for a few seconds at best and you have to hit the play icon over and over. Never had this problem before with the 20 plus vids I have any suggestions would be appreciated

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • How to deauthorise iTunes on a computer I no longer have when less than 5 computers have been authorised?

    My MacBook Pro was stolen yesterday. It was the only computer authorised to use my iTunes account. I have changed my passwords, but I want to be super safe and deauthorise it. The problem is, there seems to be no option to deauthorise a computer if you no longer have it if you have not authorised your maximum 5 computers.
    Short of authorising every computer in the house and all my friends' laptops, can I force deauthorisation on my stolen computer? There's no adequate explanation from Apple or the discussions (that I can easily find).
    I'm currently using a 2005 MacBook running OSX 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.0.3 (the highest version I can run).

    You can't deauthorise a computer remotely, other than by using the 'Deauthorise all' falicity for which at least two computers have to be authorised. You should be able to do this if you first authorise just one other computer.
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Though I'm guessing here, it's possible you may need to change the password back to what it was on the stolen computer first - it would make sense if this were the case, but I don't know for certain.

  • What else can I try to change my screen view back to normal a button must have been hit and it went to super huge view? I have tried resolutions resets already

    last night a button must have gotten hit on my  desk top.  The whole screen view went super huge and I have tried all the resolution changes and the system prefrences I have no clue what else to try after 3 hours failed.

    Okay, I'll have one last go.   I am now looking at the post you have just sent me.   As you (a) started the post and (b) have not awarded stars to anyone yet, directly one line above the grey 'Like' and 'Reply' words should be a green star and a yellow star.   That is because you have yet to award them.   Once you do, the chosen one will disappear and reappear against the post you selected.
    Now were you to consider this post worth a yellow help mark and you clicked the yellow star, you would see that happen.   Then if it works, you can go to any of Paul's posts and click the green one there.
    We are not allowed to ask for stars so if you do that it would be your decision but I can see no other way to explain or demonstrate.
    Otherwise I can't help more and simply be at a loss to understand what has happened.

  • Have gone through my quota of computers with my itunes account.  All previous computers have been scrapped.  Don't know how to deauthorize previous computers so I can use the latest with itunes.

    Tried to install itunes and my latest ipod nano on my latest computer.  First  itunes wants me to delete everything on this ipod to sync with itunes.  Then I attempted to get into my itunes account and am told that I have my maximum number of computers connected to my account and would have to deauthorize one to authorize my current computer.  I don't have any of the previous five computers to be able to deauthorize one... they have all been scrapped.   What do I do now?

    Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

  • Events from my subscribed to Yahoo calendar are showing up in iCal one hour off and all calendars and computers have been reset to Central Time.

    I Use Yahoo calendar as my main calendar so my dh can access it from work, so I subscribe to it for iCal. I recently moved from Eastern Time zone to Central. I didn't re-set all my calendars and apps right away. I have all my calendars and computers on Central Time now but events from my Yahoo calendar are showing up in Eastern Time in iCal. I cant edit them on my Mac or iPad because they're events from a subscribed to calendar.
    So, how do I get these events to show up at the right time?
    Thanks,

  • HT1420 How do I find out which 5 computers have been authorized?

    How do I find out which 5 ccomputers are authorised so I can deauthorise one?

    1. Open itunes store and scroll to the bottom.
    2. You will see Manage under this please click Account. This will now pop up a box asking you to sign in again.
    3. Then under itunes in the Cloud the first thing you see is manage devices.
    4. Click  manage devices and it will show you everything you have got and it gives you the option to remove and then click done, once done.

  • HT202213 i want to unshare from computers which have been stolen. How do I do this?

    Hi
    My computers have been stolen and now I need to set up home share on the new ones, but I can't because all the home shares have been used. I can't get on the old computers, obviously, so can't deauthorise them. Is there some way I can do it from iTunes store/account without being on the actual computers?
    Thanks
    Mi

    If you go to itunes store select Account from the quick links on the right. You can then deauthorise all computers.
    Then reauthorise the computer(s) you have left by clicking on Store Authorise this computer in itunes for each computer.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • If I try to activate iCloud, my iPhone tells me: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.

    If I try to activate iCloud, my iPhone tells me: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.

    I have this problem too on two iPhones, neither of which have been jailbroken and both of which have been restored as new via iTunes on a PC and upgraded to iOS 5.1. It's the same whether signing into iCloud or Find My Friends. What is causing this error? If an iPhone is completely wiped and restored as new, it should not retain the previous user's iCloud credentials.
