What is this pop up called mackeeper all about?

I keep getting the pop up called "Mackeeper".  Is it a good thing or bad thing?

MacKeeper is some of the most insidious malware there is, see:Do not install MacKeeper and also see Thomas Reed's very useful site: http://www.thesafemac.com

  • What is this command script called missing kitty that initiated out of nowhere on my macbook pro?

    What is this command script called missing kitty that initiated out of nowhere on my macbook pro? It says it was created by a former Apple genius and it showed up 3 days after I had to have my macbook wiped clean and re-installed at the Genius bar due to a "software glitch" that locked up my firmware....

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2404816?start=0&tstart=0
    at the Apple Store called "Missing Kitty" that would allow you to install a script on the root level of the HD. After installing everything and making a user it would go in and delete the user so on the next restart the computer would start up a "brand new" and already have iLife installed.
    You can always call the genius bar for clarification

  • When going to certain sites a window will pop up saying that " Information may be seen by a third party" This happens a lot even with sites that i know are secure. What is this pop up and how "insecure is the site i am putting information on.

    The pop up says Security warning. You have an encrypted page that contains unencrypted information and may easily read by a third party.

  • What is this email alert: TUI-AD: All AD agents are down for realm Windows?

    I added our IT group e-mail to the Ironport S160 to be alerted when product keys are about to expire.  Our IronPort C160 e-mail filter does this but the S160 did not.
    We periodically get this email:
    Subject: Critical <System> webfilter.domain.com: TUI-AD: All AD agents are down for realm Windows
    The Critical message is:
    TUI-AD: All AD agents are down for realm Windows
    Product: Cisco IronPort S160 Web Security Appliance
    Model: S160
    Version: 7.5.1-079
    Serial Number: (removed for public posting)
    Timestamp: 24 Mar 2014 07:20:27 -0400
    Any idea what this means?  Everything is working normally.  How can I stop this message?

    Upon further investigation in services.msc on that server I see a Cisco AD Agent.  I did some digging on this service and its located in C:\IBF.
    First why is it called IBF?
    Second, whats in here is this:

  • What is this: " MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:TypeError: $(...).museMenu is not a fu

    Everything works fine in preview. Get this error when uploaded to site and trying to switch between some pages:
    : " MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:TypeError: $(...).museMenu is not a function"
    site is  www.authorizedagents.com

    Chrome still reports the http://www.campusone.net/scripts/1_1/jquery.musemenu.js is missing (though note it is now looking in a "1_1" folder rather than a "1.1" folder).
    To do exactly what I'm doing to detect this:
    1) Go to a page that reports a JavaScript error or that otherwise shows a missing link for an image using Chrome.
    2) Right click and choose "Inspect Element". It doesn't matter what you click on.
    This should bring up the developer tools UI within your browser window.
    3) From the button at the top of the Developer Tools UI click on "Console".
    This should display a list of any errors that occurred during the load of the page. In this case it shows the jquery.musemenu.js file was not found.

  • What Does This Pop-up Window Mean?

    I recently installed a second internal HD. Has worked fine the first few days. But, in the past couple of days, when I attempt to transfer files into it, a window with the following message pops up: ...YOU CANNOT COPY SOME OF THESE ITEMS TO THE DESTINATION BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE TOO LONG FOR THE DESTINATION.... No matter what file name I use or what length that name is... this same window pops up thus preventing me from placing anything else in this HD. There are still 200gigs of space left in the drive so I know it's not full. What gives? anyone have any ideas. Thanks in advance. Sally

    Hi Tim Ross1-
    Did you reformat the drive before using it? It probably came as FAT32 formatted, which OSX can read and write too, however there is a limit to the length of a file name.
    I would recommend that if you don't plan on using it for Windows reformat it to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled).
    Luck-

  • What is this? -- unchecked call to put(K,V)

    unchecked call to put(K,V) as a member of the raw type java.util.HashMap
    m.put( args[0], new Double( args[1]));
    I have code that stores a string and a double value in a map like this:
    String args[];
    m.put( args[0], new Double( args[1]));
    but I get this message when compiling with the Xlint option in javac. Why is this happening?

    Yes. I got the same compile warning when I compile with jdk1.5[jdk-1_5_0_03-windows-i586-p.exe]
    This:
    Map map=new HashMap();
    map.put("abc","def");Will get the warning like "unchecked ....."
    ====
    This:
    Map<Object,Object> map=new HashMap<Object,Object>();
    map.put("abc","def");Will compile OK.
    ====
    Is the compiler's responsible to set the default type to Object?

  • What is this drum sound called?

    Hi,
    What is it called when you have a short 4 or 8-beat (or so) drum hit/loop right before a major transient in the song?
    I'm looking for some generic ones in Apple Loops, but I don't know what they're called so I'm having a bit of a hard time searching.
    Thanks

    I think you're looking for a "fill", a "roll", 'break' or maybe even a "build up".
    There might be some in the loop library. But with a little diligence and button/key bashing, may I suggest that it won't be too hard to learn how to program one of yer' own? Usually you can create something more original and interesting in less than the time it takes to find the 'right' loop.
    just a thot. I think 'fill' is probably what you're looking for, though.

  • What the **** is this Upgrade My Library option all about?

    It says that for a bargain price of £2.00 I can upgrade my copy of Funf by Clinic, 25p a song it is and 40p a video. If I pay them for this, they will send me a new copy to replace my existing copy.
    Why oh why would I want to?
    What is it better quality or something?
    Funk dat.
    Explain it to me please somebody.

    Hi, STU9000!
    I think that Upgrade your Library thing is just so you can get the song or video as a DRM-free file. I'm really not sure if there is a quality difference; I have upgraded a few of my songs but I don't remember if the file sounded any different. You could try for yourself and buy one upgrade and see if there is a difference.
    Oh, and if I remember correctly, iTunes will ask you if you want to delete the old file after the upgrade; don't do that, that way you can compare the files.
    Hope this helps!

  • What is this pop sound?

    From time to time, may be once a day, I get this rather loud pop sound. It may be coming from the speakers, but I'm not sure. It could be from somewhere else in the iBook. I am wondering whether you have had the same experience and have an explanation for that. Many thanks. Erich
    iBook 14 640/60   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    can you isolate which applications are running when it happens?
    could it be an alert set, like mail arriving, or mail arriving that has a particular rule which includes an alert? ical? or third party software with some kind of sound enabled?
    hopefully it is coming through the speakers, and is not a hardware thing.

  • Hello. I recently installed a new SSD on my macbook pro (mid2009 running mavericks). Now after booting up the text editor automatically pops up on the desktop with the header quopri_codec.py What is this and should i be concerned about it?

    here's the script in full:
    """Codec for quoted-printable encoding.
    Like base64 and rot13, this returns Python strings, not Unicode.

        assert errors == 'strict'
        f = StringIO(input)
        g = StringIO()

    Thanks for the info. I'm not really sure how or why this python script is running when my macbook starts up. Any ideas how i can locate the script and stop it from running?

  • What does this thing mean next to all my music?

    It is next to all 192 of my songs I uploaded (that used to work until the IOS 7 update but no longer work)

    It means there's a problem with those episodes. Click on the i for an error message. It can for example mean that the author has moved or deleted the media files but they are still listed in the feed.
