That's the only way you get a virus on any iOS device.
Well there is always touching door knobs and stairwell banisters after an infected person. But maybe that only applies to Android users

When i login to yahoo, my first click results in the spinning wheel. Could i have a virus? Or why does it only happen when i login to yahoo?
Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

Flash Player para de funcinar ao desinstalar o anti-virus
Comprei um computador que veio com o McAfee para testar por um mes, como nao pretendia usar este anti-virus desinstalei ele para colocar outro, so que apos desinstala-lo o flash player parou de funcionar no internet explorer e o gadget do windows tambem, ele ficou somente um ponto borrado na tela com a opcao de fechar.
Fiz a instalacao e desinstalacao do flash player varias vezes, mas nao resolveu nada, tentei ate deletar alguns arquivos na pasta do windows/macromed/flash, mas tambem nao resolveu, o unico jeito foi restaurar o sistema para antes de tirar o anti virus, quando fiz isso o flash voltou a funcionar normalmente.
Agora preciso saber como tirar esse anti-virus e deixar o flash funcionando. Obs.: meu sistema e windows 7 home premium 64bitsOs artigos a seguir podem ajudar:

Virus TI au and vst plugin in logic 8
i've seen two cases where it causes massive crashes and lock ups. i hope access and apple fix this ASAP. it's really ******* my friends off...
With the 2.5 beta my Virus TI behaves like that in Logic 7.2 aswell, so I'm afraid this is not a problem for Apple to fix, rather Access Music.
The 2.5 beta update have helped in alot of areas, but it still freezes my computer up from time to time when launching the plugin. -
Will it harm my Mac if I download the Graboid Video? Does it contain a virus or something like that?
If you are using this program will you let me know if it is safe or not? I'll look forward for your answers.
There's no virus in graboid. I downloaded this some weeks ago to try it out but like all .pkg's I don't necessarily trust I didn't install it but use Pacifist to see what the installer would install and extract the desired parts.
The GraboidVideoMac.app is really all I needed from the installer. The installer tries to install it's own par2, unrar, and an older VLC.app (1.0.3, VLC is up to 1.1.12). I didn't want this stuff installed since I already have these things in my desired places.
You have to set up an account which you can do from the GraboidVideoMac.app. Problem is the amount you can download is limited (2 Megs I think). After that you need to pay. Screw that. So I just forgot all about using it. -
I ran a virus/trojan fix and this is what it said it could not repair something in the main library core or something like that. What do I do? The problem seems to be with safari?
I ran the utility disk and this is what it said.
Warning permission differ Applications/Safari drwxr-xrx they are -rwxr-xr system/livrary Cores has been modified and will not be repaired.
Permission apllication differ on System/livrary/Pr or could be -rw-r--r-- they are rwxr-xr-x Application/iTune be droxr-xr-x they are rwxr-xr-x
Then I hit fix permissions and it said this
Warning SUID file Systm/Library/Core has been modified will not be repaired
I also downloaded Bitdefender Virus Scanner and it found nothing. -
Could this be a Mail virus or something like it?
Just received an e-mail as follows:
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[email protected]>
Subject: Returned Mail: User unknown
Date: November 27, 2005 10:41:55 AM AKST
To: (my e-mail address here)
The message indicates that the mail was returned to me because there was a problem with the delivery (The following addresses had permanent fatal errors..."):
That paragraph is followed by a batch of 17 e-mail addresses, each with a user name beginning with the letters "p" and the letter "d," but every one of them addresses @ aol.com
The Remote for each e-mail was: Remote-MTA: DNS; air-yc01.mail.aol.com
X-Mailer Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2002
Please note that I have never used Outlook Express. In fact, I don't think it's installed on my Mac. Also, here is where I think the problem is at:
Reply-To-"PEA" <(my e-mail address is shown in here)>
From: "Peabody" <(my e-mail address again shown in here)>
Does it mean that somebody used my e-mail addressfor mass e-mail, or is it a virus? Nobody has my e-mail address, except for a couple of friends, and I have never answered to anybody I don't know personally.Not a virus since there are no viruses that currently affect OS X which has been available for 5 years.
Please note that I have never used Outlook Express. In fact, I don't think it's
installed on my Mac.
OE for Macs is an OS 9 application which if installed on your Mac, would require OS 9 to be installed to run the Classic environment under OS X.

A new tab opened up on my tool bar labeled Mozilla Security. The website looks like your security warning. But the security button is gray, McAfee doesn't recognize the site, and the web address does not contain Mozilla.com. The web address of this pop up page is: http://update89.modyett.co.be/index.php?Q57hGtS5bW5G7Hr+M0lEZy4rE7T40TcfocDyRAcjpCPVLS/PhAEpv1Hgq9vgx1qxsLunLyiXHnwwL5T3qX/CE0Q/ZRXJp+2mKYsC+kRq
Do I have a virus, as it states, or is this uninvited web page trying to install a virus? What should I do?Just because it said Mozilla Security in the title bar does not mean it is from Mozilla as Mozilla nor the Firefox browser has ever done such a thing.
This sounds like one of those fake animated scanners which claims it is scanning your computer and then says you are infected with such and such. It then suggests to download something that will be what really infects your computer if using Windows. As long as you did not download and install this whatever.exe then you should be safe. Though you may want to scan your computer with whatever antivirus software you have with updated definitions just to be safer.
This sort of thing is even more obvious on being fake when Linux and Mac users can encounter these pages. -
Could I have windows update virus on my macbook pro?
Since last week I have suddenly had what I think must be a virus where a message suddenly flashes up telling me that my java is out of date or that windows "has detected you need to update winupdate videos" and starts a countdown with no option to cancel or delete so I have to exit safari. It seems to happen most frequently when I'm on AOL. I've downloaded avast but that doesn't seem to be finding it and I've checked for software updates in case there is a patch but there are no software updates apparently. Anyone else had this? Got any ideas?

Thanks that is helpful. I actually have OS X 10.6.8
Well that does change things a bit. You probably know by now that Apple has terminated support for Snow Leopard and did not provide an earlier update for Java 6 and just this week failed to provide a Security Update. It probably won't take long for malware developers to start attacking SL vulnerabilities as we've seen in the past with older versions of MicroSoft Word (for example) and I'm sure we will see when Windows XP reaches end-of-life in April. So you need to start thinking about an OS X upgrade.
I just went looking for a browser extension that blocks ads - any recommendations?
I agree with Network 23 on AdBlock. Either ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin (don't use both & I use the latter since it does more) will result in faster browsing, reduced fan usage, and increased battery life. -
Well - having had a virus myself all Christmas I am wondering whether my Mac also has one. This morning, before heading back home, my son (a complete mac head) decided that I should have the most up to date flash player downloaded onto my imac. Did a repair disk permissions following this. I was then using Firefox on the highways agency website when everything froze and I had to force quit. Both Safari and Firefox now seem to have slowed right down and when quitting Firefox a few minutes ago found a popup on my desktop. This was again after quitting the highways agency traffic information website. This has never happened before.
Is there a possibility that when downloading the flash player my son also downloaded something else as well. I think he downloaded it from macupdate.com.
In any case, is there any way I can check if something is amiss or can anyone recommend a virus scanner?
Thanks
AnnI think a virus is unlikely. If the version he installed is the one listed here:
http://search.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=flash&os=mac
it is a beta version.
You could uninstall it using this link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
then download the latest stable version following this link:

ClamAV fails to scan for viruses in emails [CLAWS MAIL]
I've recently switched from Thunderbird to Claws Mail and ran into one small, but annoying, problem.
I want to use ClamAV + the clamav extension for claws mail to scan for viruses, however it does seem to have permission problems.
clamd is running, user and group clamav all have the relevant permissions as far as I can tell, however upon scanning my mail, I always end up with the following error:
Scanning error:
/home/username/.claws-mail/mimetmp/0000000e.mimetmp: lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR

# When disabled, virus/phish detected by heuristic scans will be reported only at
# the end of a scan. If an archive contains both a heuristically detected
# virus/phish, and a real malware, the real malware will be reported
# Keep this disabled if you intend to handle "*.Heuristics.*" viruses
# differently from "real" malware.

clamd is running, user and group clamav all have the relevant permissions as far as I can tell, however upon scanning my mail, I always end up with the following error:
Scanning error:
/home/username/.claws-mail/mimetmp/0000000e.mimetmp: lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR
Seems like a permissions error to me... maybe check the actual file it is attempting to scan... I know it is in your home folder, but just to be sure, you might want to check that everything is sane. -
I had my iTunes musical library on an ext. drv. WD 2TB, ‘MY BOOK ESSENTIAL'. Three weeks ago, my computer was infected by a virus that fried it. It did not affect the external drive. I bought a new computer: a laptop, Dell XPS, Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium. I have been able to connect the WD external drive; however, I am not able to see the musical library in my iTunes or Explorer. ‘My Computer’ shows the external drive as ‘G:’ 95% full. It reads, 32.1 GB free of 1.36 TB. When I click on the drive to see its contents, it shows nothing. The library in iTunes also shows nothing. Can anyone help, please? How can I reconnect my old musical library to my new laptop and iTunes? Many thanks.
Hmm, viruses don't generally "fry" drives. They can make bootable operating systems not bootable, hide data, and corrupt executable files. Software can potentially wipe all the data from the drive but it shouldn't be able to physically damage the drive. Bah! What's done is done.
As to unhiding your files assuming they are just hidden....
Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press enter. Type the following at the prompt and then press enter:
attrib -h -s -r g:\*.* /d /s
This tells windows to clear the hidden, read-only, and system flags from all files on the drive, assuming of course your profile has the power to "see" the files and change them.
If that doesn't work then you may need to take ownership of the drive first. The drive may have security settings that make it "belong" to an account on your old system. Right-click on the drive in Windows Explorer and click Properties. Click the Security tab, the Advanced button, the Owner tab, then the Edit tab. Make yourself the owner, then you can make any other changes to the security settings you want to back on the Permissions tab. (If you can't change the owner log out and log back in as Administrator). For iTunes your account (or everyone) and SYSTEM need full access to all files. Any changes you make should be applied to "This folder, subfolders and files", should be inheritable and you should also replace the permissions on all child objects.

I bought adobe suite 4 student edition a few years ago and I am no longer a student and my laptop in which I have adobe suite has recently got a virus and I must uninstall the adobe suite in or to wipe the computer. If I uninstall the student edition and reinstall once the virus is removed from the computer will I have to go through the student product verification process or can I simply use the product key to reinstall the adobe suite?

my laptop had a virus and I am trying to sync my IPHONE 4 to my desktop, how can I sync my phone without losing all my music, apps and contacts?
You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone. -

Did you use several partitions on the HDD?
Its possible that the virus is placed on the second partition and not on C OS partition.
Sometimes viruses, worms and other danger applications are hidden in the common files like mp3.
In my opinion you should use the anti virus software like Norton antivirus and update the virus file definition. Its very important that your anti virus software is up to date. -
looking for downloads to block viruses and malware?
An addition comment I would add would be to avoid download anything and everything from P2P networks. The vast majority of that stuff is illegal for starters and also tends to be the easiest place to find download infected with malware. P2P includes LimeWire, ForstWire, transmission, bittorrent and the like.
