"Virus found" by macupdate . com.  Is it a valid Apple site?

In Safari, I typed in a new (to me) website address. Immediately after hitting 'enter' a window popped up saying:
http : / / macupdate . com - apple . menu (I put the spaces in so it wouldn't become a hot-link)
VIRUS FOUND
The last website you visited has infected your Mac with a virus.
Press OK to begin the repair process.
There is no other option than to press OK but being a sceptic I force quit Safari and turned off the Mac Pro.  Later when I turned it back on and tried to open Safari the same window popped up again.  Is this a valid Apple site or is a hacker fishing?  If it is a hacker, how do I get past the "press OK" window safely?
Thanks for any help.

It's not a virus. It's a Web scam that only affects your browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • Safari on Mac frozen with VIRUS FOUND popup

    I was on Safari on Mac and entered a website "invipsuite.com" in the URL window and suddenly my Safari froze with a popup "Virus found - The last website you visited has infected your Mac with a virus. Press OK to begin the repair process" and there is just one button OK. The popup lists the website macupdate.com-apple.menu" and this is the URL I now find in teh URL window.
    I did not click on the OK button, but my Safari is frozen with this pop on it.
    Please HELP!

    For yourself and Mike, there's no adware to be found because it isn't adware. Nor was anything downloaded or installed on your Mac in any way. As the articles explained, it's nothing more than a browser trick that keeps you from moving off the page once there.
    There isn't even the slightest thing to be concerned about. Unless, that is, you actually called the number displayed and gave them your credit card number, or live remote access to your Mac.
    Why Apple hasn't released a fix for these JavaScript loops yet seems strange to me. They certainly know about it, and users who believe these garbage pages, call the phone numbers and/or install the remote access software they convince you to install are getting fleeced daily.

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

  • Compiler error "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement" not found in class com.ora

    Compiler error "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement" not found in class com.oracle.demos......?
    I am currently testing a simple sample application with a java code similar to the one shown at
    the bottom of this post.
    However during deployment/compilation the compiler gives an error:
    Error(26,23): XMLElement not found in class com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ApproveImpl
    Additionally similar other errors appear:
    Error(23,66): JAXBException not found in class com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ObjectFactory
    Error(51,58): UnmarshalException not found in class com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ObjectFactory
    Error(9,92): Element not found in interface com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.Approve
    What's wrong?
    It seems to me that I have to add some (more) *.jar files/libraries to the project?
    Which *.jars and where should I add them in JDeveloper?
    source code:
    package com.oracle.demos.orderbooking;
    public class ApproveImpl extends com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ApproveTypeImpl implements com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.Approve
    public ApproveImpl(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement node)
    super(node);
    }

    Hai James this the response I am getting can you please tell what should I write inside ora:getNodeValue() to get the value of node <genReturnText>
    The drag and dropping the variable name is not working, I have to write the path manually but I dont know how.

    If it works in Windows Safe mode then you have a problem with other software, possibly security software or a system driver, that is running on your computer.<br />
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    I found several charges on my bank account from Apple on App that is completely free. After calling the number showing on my bank statement there an automated answering that tells you to go to apple website!!! There is nobody to talk to!! Complete rip OFF
    And now because I want to communicate with apple support I have to go through the hectic website and community support, this is ridiculous.
    I have 5 iPhones in my account and this makes me reconsider upgrading to iPhones again.
    Why Apple put a phone number in the bank transaction, if there is nobody to talk to!!!!!!
    I hope someone from Apple support can answer my question.

    Go to getsupport.apple.com.  Or, call 1-800-MYAPPLE.
    Just because an app is free to download doesn't mean that there aren't in-app purchases available.
    Go to iTunes on your computer, log into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID & password, and check your purchase history.  Be advised that all iTunes & App Store purchases are final.

  • HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID email and its all verified ok but on my iPhone 5 every time I go to update an App or buy an App it comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for a password. Why doesn't it have my new ID because on Apple ID link it does?

    I've changed my Apple ID password and when I go to the Apple ID link the changes have been emailed and are all verified. However, when I try to do something with an App or iTunes  etc on my iPhone 5 it still comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for the password and I don't have the option to overtyped the Sppld ID section with the new email I've set. I can't update Apps or buy Apps because of this. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.
