W97M 'malicious' virus...Norton freezes...I'm ready to give up!

this little diddy has been showing up when forward word docs. I have read some older discussions in regard to this virus, and the advice seems to be that I utilize a cleaner such as Norton. I bought the download directly from the Symantec corp., and, unfortunately, I cannot get it to download past a certain point, at which it then causes all of my apps to freeze-up. I can NEVER seem to get anything to close by force-quitting, and if I try to go through the Activity Monitor, it just bounces on the dock, and never opens. Help! I have experienced six weeks of frustration, and very little Mac joy since my initial purchase!

What you describe sounds like a malicious M$ Office Macro rather than a virus. Like Brody said, ClamXAV will catch it and do it for free. Unless you need macros for some reason, you should disable them in M$ Office.
There is no reason to EVER install something like Norton on your Mac. Those people make money by scaring new users into thinking they need their product, that is all. In most cases it is the Norton that causes the problems after it was installed on a perfectly functioning Mac. The uninstaller instructions may work, but the usual solution to Norton is a reinstall since it so thoroughly messes up your OS.

Safari locked out by Malicious Virus Attack...

Today my Safari was locked out and this warning popped up on my screen. "
Critical Security Warning! Your Mac is infected with a malicious virus attack.
Please contact tech support at +1-888-307-2735 and provide error code WBACK7917 to scan and resolve any potential threats to your personal and financial information, which was being tracked by suspicious connection.

I called the number but the rep didn't identify herself only stated that they work with Apple & Safarii to help reduce these problems, then proceeded to ask for permission to enter my laptop remotely. I colorfully told her where she could go. So my Safari is locked out, MacKeeper hasn't identified the problem and the Safari app doesn't show in Mackeeper for me to uninstall the entire application. Please help me get rid of Safari then load a brand new one without the Debbie does Dallas getting her sticky fingers in my MaBbook Pro (17-inch) OS X updated 10.10.1 Yosemite.
How can I uninstall Safari on my MacBook Pro when it is entwined into the OS X operating system? Then reinstall a clean version.

"This is a scam.
1. Force Quit .
    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select Safari if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.   Wait.
    Safari will quit.
2. Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.
3. Turn off wifi and turn it back on.
    Turn off Wifi. Click Wifi icon in the menu bar and select “Turn Wifi off”.
    Visit another website.
    You won’t have internet connection.
    Turn on Wifi. Click Wifi icon in the menu bar and select “Turn Wifi on”.
    Select your Network."
Your solution worked until I opened Safari again. I tried it several times, but the pop-up messages keep returning while locking the Safari screen.
Any other suggestions?

How can I get someone to answer the phone? I'm ready to give VERIZON my business. I sat on the phone for over 20 minutes only to be transferred to "Sales." I then sat on the phone for another 15 minutes!!!! I finally hung up.

It takes an enormous amount of patience and time to get through to a qualified person.
My Samsung S5 was locked out and needed a factory reset. Including attempts to achieve this locally, it took over an hour before my problem was even addressed.
You may be interested in my journey to a very good technical support person.
First I called the local sales person who had given me his personal business card with the friendly advice to call me with any questions. No answer at about 8:30 am when the business was open. His voice mailbox was full.
Then I called the local store where I had purchased the phone. The person who answered the phone had learned all the proper stock phrases, but was not familiar with the issue, stated that there were no customers in the store, and I should go there in about an hour when there would be more staff. He suggested dialing *411 from my phone (which was locked). Then he gave me a number to call Verizon, which he had to look up, and it took a minute or so. The number was (removed). That is an internal number for employees and contractors and requires a code to access, obviously not designed for customers' use. He finally cut me off by stating that there were a number of customers in line waiting for his attention!
After researching all my papers I found 800-922-0204 on my bill. The automated message suggested a hold time of 5 minutes, it took 20 minutes for a Customer Service Representative to pick up, and then I was referred to technical assistance. The hold time was announced to take 5 minutes, after 12 minutes I finally was connected.
Fortunately I had my computer set up for Skype on a loudspeaker, and was able to do some other paperwork while waiting.
Persistence was rewarded by having the good fortune to be connected to a very experienced, qualified and patient technical support staff with the name of Thomas (removed). He solved my problem, answered my questions during the process of resetting the phone, and gave an example of courteous and kind customer service that I had never experienced before when dealing with any major internet company.

I am ready to give up on the Iphone RE: emails

I have a few more days left in my return window, and I am seriously considering it. I wasn't able to send emails, but receive them, so I took the iphone back to AT&T and he redid my settings, tested it while I was there and was able to get the phone to send an email. I emailed a test email to my friend and almost immediately got a response from her that she had received it. I was able to reply with no problem. Now, a couple of hours later, I am at home and I can't get it to send an email. It seems to get hung up on sending it and takes forever for it to finally give me an error message which usually says something to the effect of a failed server or something. I have wanted this phone for so long and want to love it, but honestly, I am ready to give up on it and get something else. Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong????
Heather

Ok, that CWMX.COM bit is proof now to me it is because BellSouth blocks you from sending unless on their network. that is a free server (workaround) to send. It is needed when on Edge. But now that you are home and on WiFi (which is a prefered connection as it is MUCH faster) now while on WiFi, you ARE on their network and they don't like you using the free server. You need to have it set to what your network (ISP) wants (which is what you computer has setup on it if you look at those settings, odds are same as incoming).
So here is the issue you have.
The guy set it up that you can send email anytime you are on Edge (which will be when you are not home on your WiFi network).
When at home, you cannot send email while on wifi unless you temp. turn off WiFi (where you just said you saw where). If you turn it off, you can send. Then you can turn WiFi back on to get fast speed with internet again.
So all in all not too bad. When not at home, you can send. When at home...well you have your computer for email....but if you need to send via phone, you have to turn off wifi.
Once again, this is BellSouth stopping you not the iPhone. You may consider getting a free email account elsewhere (gmail for example) and telling all your friends to email you there from now on and just use bellsouth for junk mail, shopping, etc.

Absolutely Stumped and Ready to Give Up

Hi all...
I've been searching and searching through the forums and the help articles to find out how to fix this problem, and I absolutely cannot figure it out. It makes no sense to me.
I cannot get the binding navigator to save changes to the database. I've created a new project, tried on different computers and still does not work no matter what I do.
Here's what I've done so far. I've added a new form to my project, completely blank and new. I've taken a Table from an SQL database and dragged it from the Data Sources Window onto the form, just like I should do. As usual, the bindingnavigator, bindingsource,
tableadapter all show up. When I check to see what is in the SAVE button, the following code is present, which all seems fine to me:
Me.Validate()
Me.Table2BindingSource.EndEdit()Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Database1_Data_Set)
When I run it, I can of course add rows, delete rows, change data in rows with the binding navigator, but anything I do does not show up in the database after having clicked the save button.
I've checked to see if the binding source is recognizing that there is changes to be made (.haschanges) and it indeed knows that there's changes to made. I've verified this a couple ways, one way is by doing this:
MsgBox("hi")
Me.Validate()
MsgBox(Me.Database1_Data_Set.HasChanges)
Me.Table2BindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Database1_Data_Set)
MsgBox(Me.Database1_Data_Set.HasChanges)
The first messagebox I used to make sure that the clicking on the save button was actually fired. Indeed it is. I have it messagebox me before the .updateall and after...which comes up as it should, which is haschanges=true before the update and haschanges=false
after the update. I have even tried adding the acceptchanges command after updating all. None of this works. It never saves to the database. I've trapped the code in a TRY and catch with a messagebox if there are any errors, and no errors come up.
I've tried the infamous changing of the .xsd and .mdf property CopytoOutputDirectory to if newer and even tried do not copy, and none of these fix the problem, it still persists on not saving to the database. The database I am using is a very simple database,
literally one column with generic words like 'red' 'blue' green' frank', etc. I made it simple on purpose so I could see if it was a table issue, but still no saving to database.
This is a local database. I'm completely stumped and ready to give up. No matter what I do, it does not work. I need help on this if you're willing.
One thing I have noticed is that after I click the save button, if I then close the form but stay in runtime, then re-open the form, the data that I changed is still showing on the binding navigator. I also put a button on the form and had it refill the
data to see and when I click it, the data on the binding navigator reflects the changes I made.. HOWEVER, as soon as I end the program, hit stop on the build and then re-play it, go into the the form the data is back to where it was from the start, and nothing
is changed. So it seems like it is showing the changes during run-time, but never actually updating the root database file, and when it's shut down it loses all the changes that it shows (not that it matters, because it's not even updating the database).
The database and its table have no special settings, just a plain old database created through the wizard, and one column of simple data of about 5 rows or so.
Can anyone help at all? If I can't save changes to the database, then it's over.
BTW i'm using Visual Studio 2013.

Thanks both for your replies. I really appreciate your help. I'm not sure what you mean by keeping SQL studio manager open, make change in the physical database then refresh in server manager...I messed around and tried to figure that out, but I don't think
I was even in the right place (SQL server object explorer?)...
The tool I use to see if the database is updated, is by viewing the data in the SERVER EXPLORER. I hit refresh first then right click the table and choose show data.
I ran this code on a button press:
Dim sqlConnection1 As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\STyler\Desktop\vs10\Database1.mdf;Integrated Security=True")
Dim cmd As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE Table2 SET [Depth] = @Depth WHERE [ID] = 2"
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Depth", "gfakjld")
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1
sqlConnection1.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
sqlConnection1.Close()
...and the change was made in the database. It's just not updating through the binding navigator.
Can you further explain how I would go about using your suggestion about:
If the database is SQL-Server then keep SQL Studio Manager open, make a change in the physical (thinking not on the server) database then refresh in SQL-Server Manager?
Thanks both...

Ready to give up

I am truly ready to give up on Photoshop Elements. I just purchased version 10 and had problems from the beginning. I asked several questions about why all my photos will not appear in my folders in Folder View in Organizer. I have followed all instructions I could find, but Organizer just spins and spins and takes forever to show anything, And then it only shows partial contents out of order or now, nothing in any folder at all. If I tell it to import again, it tells me the photos are already in the catalog. I have uninstalled PSE completely, removing ALL folders which were missed in the uninstall. I have done this twice. Also, I told it I did not want to back up/sync online and discovered it had already backed up 1.6g. I could not find how to access this online backup to clear it. So, before I jump up and down on the disks, any help or link to real-time help would be appreciated. Thanks for listening to me vent, but after 5 days of struggling I am desperate!

The folder location view shows all the images of the folder selected in tree hierarchy. So if you want to see all the images present in catalog you need to switch to thumbnail view or import batch view. You can access your online backup by signing to photoshop.com with credentials. On Photoshop.com, under libraries you will find all your backed up data.

How to uninstall malicious viruses Rootkit.Sirefef.Spy and Trojan.FakeAV Download

I got a screen that states Warning: System may have found viruses on your computer. It references Rootkit.Sirefef.Spy and Trojan.FakeAV-Download.
I can no longer get onto Safari without directing me to the address:
macibr.com/mac/ibr-2?sub_id=008612858011772470948
There is a pop up window that reads:
Http://macibr.com
WARNING! Please Install Update To Continue.
How do I get rid of this warning? There isn't an appointment in the Apple store for two days.
Anyone had experience with this?

These are most likely scams. Ignore them. You do not have to do a thing.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
You Don’t Have a Virus and Don’t Pay Money to Remove
This is not a virus nor is it pop-up adware. Fortunately, it doesn’t affect anything but the browser, and it can be easily removed.
If it has opened a tab or window, then close the window by pressing COMMAND-W. A large box may pop open. Press the RETURN key which should dismiss the box and close the page.
If the above does not work then try the following:
     1. Select Safari preferences. Click on the Security icon in the toolbar.
     2. Locate the checkbox labeled, Enable JavaScript, and uncheck the box. Do not
         close the preferences dialog.
     3. Close the bad window or tab.
     4. Re-check the JavaScript box and close the preferences dialog.
If the Preferences menuitem is inactive then quit or force quit Safari. Run Safari by holding down the SHIFT key while clicking Safari’s Dock icon. Select Safari preferences and click on the Privacy icon in the toolbar. At the top is a dropdown menu labeled, “Cookies and other website date.” Click on the Remove All Website Data… button.
Check your Downloads folder for anything you don’t recognize or remember downloading and delete it.
Also see: I just got a "warning: system may have found viruses on your computer" message on safari.

archlinux comes as a barebones system - i guess you installed some sort of desktop environment on top of it.
if you installed the same (unity or gnome shell) that will probably not solve your problem.
if you managed to set up an arch system with a gui, you should be able to provide us with more relevant information, so we can start troubleshooting.
off the top of my head (or hat?) i'd say your hardware can't keep up with a full-fledged desktop environment and you should choose something more lightweight. but that's just guessing.
I tried both gnome and unity. My GPU is Nvidia GT640 2GB DDR3, Motherboard Asus p8b75m, Cpu i3-2100. Ram 8 GB. 64GB SSD (Root is on it), 1 TB HDD (Home is on it). I don'tthink my system can't handle a full DE.

I'm ready to give up on the

i just got my zen micro on Friday night, and it's dri'ven me to so much frustration that I'm about ready to sell it off after just 2 days and swtich to iPod instead.
st thing i got it on Friday was to charge it up fully and started loading songs. Who knew, lucky me got one where the headphone jack didn't work. only the left earphone had sound, so i had to take it back and get it changed on Saturday. after charging it till 3am last nite, i started to d/l songs onto it, but met up with the language problem. All my chinese songs titles wouldn't display properly. After spending 2 hours fiddling around with Creative mediasource, Zen micro explorer, windows media player, windows explorer, and checking out this forum, and changing all the settings as pple had posted on this forum, i gave up and went to sleep.
this morning, i decided to try again, yippee, the chinese fonts worked well. But i still can't see chinese fonts on Creative mediasource. I have to use win media player or ZM explorer to transfer songs. BUT! but now, i'm trying to d/l more songs, so I connected the USB cable, and voila! the 'Docked' screen doesn't show up! the USB port is detected (mine is USB. so win xp shows a warning message), but none of the programs detect the Zen Micro. it's as good as not being connected at all, so i can't d/l anything now!!!
another thing is the s/w provided with the Zen Micro is totally not user-friendly at all. When i first installed it, i got 2 pages of gibberish where i had to select something from 2 drop-down menus, before reaching the page where they install the 4 s/w. so i totally have no idea what i selected in the 2 pages before. And i still haven't figured out how to use Creative mediasource (no idea which panel shows what info) and how to display languages on it properly.
i'm not some genius at computers and gadgets, but so far have found it painless to install/use my VCR, VCD and DVD players, palm, no-name mp3 player and loads of other s/w, so why am i having so much problems with the Zen micro!!!
Can somebody pleeaseee help me with the USB thing and explain the s/w installation thing, before i decide to blow the $400 and start bashing it on my table. arghhh!

the language thing is the least of my problems right now. i actually managed to figure it out somehow. right now the ZM displays Traditional chinese nicely, but only if i use the Zen Micro Explorer or Windows Media Player to transfer the songs. I now have the same problem as cvmc, the songs that have Simplified Chi or Japanese shows up as gibberish. Is there some way to make Trad Chi, Simp Chi and Japanese display nicely all at one time?
Anyway, right now, since the ZM doesn't detect the USB cable when i plug it in, there's nothing i can do at all. My computer detects the ZM, but the ZM doesn't show the "Docked" screen,
i really don't know what to do now. Do i take it in to Creative for another exchange? or what?
I was thinking of getting more stuff from Creative, but just one experience has really put me off buying Creative products

IBook G4 Freezes at Startup Window or gives Blank Blue Screen

Ok, so I realize my description is long, but I've been going through these forums gleaning off the wisdom of the past...and so here's what I've tried
Description of Problem:
1. Computer froze, had to be shut down by holding down power button
2. On restart, goes to apple pages with status wheel (looks like turning gear). But then either freezes on that page, or more frequently goes to a blank light blue screen.
3. Tried restarting from install CD, ends in blank light blue screen.
4. Restarted holding option, tried to restart from a firewire clone of the drive, ends in blank light blue screen.
5. DId a reset to firmware, typed in two lines of code as found on discussion board, it restarted, no effect.
TARGET FIREWIRE
Opened computer as target firewire drive
6. used disk utility to repair, there was nothing to repair.
7. Used DiskWarrior to rebuild.
8. Backed up drive using superduper
UNMOUNTED FIREWIRE
9. No change
HELP???? This computer is NOT under AppleCare anymore.

This EXACT thing has just happened to me!
It is a 12 inch ibook G4.
I am hoping it will come back up one more time so that I can transfer it to a Terra server I have here in the lab.
I am wondering what I am going to do...

Hi
We are exporting a FR report in Query ready mode to Excel but its giving javascript error as Permission Denied.
Any idea.
Thanks

You could check this IE settings :
1. From the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click Advanced.
A. Scroll to "Disable script debugging". Check the option.
B. Scroll to "Display a notification about every script error". Un-check the option.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Click Internet, and then click Custom Level.
5. In the Security Settings list, scroll to Miscellaneous.
6. Set "Access data sources across domains" to "Enable" or "Prompt".
Thanks...

Well my friends, still no success??? I am ready to give up! When this game crashes, it stays crashed!

I have recently read reviews of Animal Kingdom, and several other people have commented on how badly it crashed for them! One guy deleted, and reinstalled the game, but he lost half his land, and a lot of his animals, therefore he is out quite a it of money, as am I at this point!! Good old Disney's Playdom games, they are not to concerned if the public loses money to there poorly constructed games!

Firefox keeps restarting by itself, resetting everything and losing history, why? How do I stop, ready to give up on Firefox 11.0

I have read a ton of ideas, tried everything I could find, but nothing seems to work. I have Firefox 11.0 I get everything set up like I want, with the toolbars I want and it is working fine. Then for no apparent reason it closes. When i restart it is set back to default on all settings, and all history is gone. It can take an hour or as long as 2 or 3 days before it resets. I have researched and researched, deleted files, reset everything, restarted it, but it just keeps happening. Very frustrating. There are no crash ID's no trail at all that I can find.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant stand the thought of going back to internet explorer

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

About ready to give

Well I dont know where to turn, I have tried everything I can think of so Im hoping someone might be able to help. I have the same problem whether I use winxp pro 32 or 64 bit OS. My system freezes and locks up while watching online videos (SBC YAHOO) or playing a BF2 game. When I begin running BF2 (before I pick a game server) if I have SLI enabled I get two thin vertical lines running down the length of my monitor about a half an inch from each other to the left most side of my monitor. These two verticals lines have a green retangular block about inch long between them around the middle of the monitor that grows bigger with louder sounds and smaller with quietier sounds and almost disappears with no audio. Once at my desktop my speakers starting making loud popping noise without me doing anything and in addition my system freezes periodically and the only way to restart my pc with both circumstances is too do a hard restart.All drivers are current. Im running bios version 009 on my A8N32 motherboard, beta version 82.2 graphics drivers for my 7800GTX videos cards on both the 32 bit and 64 bit OS , 6.82 version chipset drivers for my motherboard on both the 32 or 64 bit OS. Creative Fatalty 32 bit and 64 bit drivers version 2.07.0004. I have onboard sound disabled in bios, all sata ports are enable in bios and every other setting pretty much at default. Im not overclocking anything. I have four (two pair in Raid 0) WD Raptors on my nforce4 chipset. I dont have any device manager conflicts . I can play audio cd's without any problem but then again I sometimes have instantanous audio popping sounds or random lockups/freezes. But I always have problems watching online videos (of course with audio) or starting a new online BF2 game. I hope someone can help.

<SPAN class=postbody>Well Im now just focused on winxp 32 bit. I tried the MS hotfix for dual cpu and updated the regisrty, udated my x2 4800+ drivers, disabled quiet and cool in BIOS, disabled the gpu load balancing (got rid of vertical lines) , disabled SLI and didnt choose the x-fi in BF2 audio section I kept it at default settings. I started the game and it ran without freezing for about a minute. I had to hard reset my system. About the only thing left to try is remove my Fatalty card and go with onboard sound or try keep the Fatalty card in and remove one of my 7800gtx cards effecti'vely getting rid of SLI. Im completely lost. BF2 or online videos freeze and lock up, I dont know what else to try.

W97M 'malicious' virus...Norton freezes...I'm ready to give up!
