When does Flashback trojan stop executing and delete itself?

according to most anti-virus companies (f-secure) in particular state the trojan will delete it's self if one of the directories is found:
From f-secure website:
On execution, the malware checks if the following path exists in the system:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If any of these are found, the malware will skip the rest of its routine and proceed to delete itself.
So, my question is does the malware look inside the directory? or could I simply create a directory? i.e. /Library/Little Snitch (without instaling the application little snitch)

I do not think turning off Java is a viable option (even this website needs is to function)
As far as dynamic, say I purchased all the anti-virus and web untilites out there, flashback could still be amended.
I was looking for a free/easy way until a particular piece of software deams its self worthy.
I do agree it is not the greatest idea, but I would like to know if it would work

When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers". When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.
You may also want to check the preferences for Firefox:

You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well.

When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?

When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?
This doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened enough for me to notice it and get super annoyed by it.
Here's an example. If I have the following text:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
And I highlight quick brown and then press delete, I get: (The red shows the selected text)
The fox jumps over the lazy dog.
So when I then start typing, more text is removed than I want. Sometimes this effect carries over, so that the next couple words are selected once I start typing.
It's wonderfully annoying. So I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing such issues or if anyone might have an idea on how to get rid of this problem.
Thanks.

Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

Error -200141 when doing buffered events with DAQmx and PCI-6602

When doing buffered events with DAQmx and PCI-6602 I get error 200141 - Data was overwritten before it could be read by the system.
This error is generated ONLY with random inputs >200/sec.
My setup is :
DAQmxCreateCIVCountEdges(taskhandle,"Dev1/ctr3"....
DAQmxCG+FGSampClkTiming(taskhandle,"/Dev1/FPI35",...
DAQmxSetCICountEgdesChan(taskhandlem,"", "/Dev1/80MHZTimeBase")
DAQmxSetChanAttribute(taskhandlw,",",DAQmx_CI_DataXferMech,DAQmx_Val_DMA,0);
Can somebody help ?

i'm getting the same Error-200141, while reading semiperiods. (Meas_Buffered semiperiod continous)
while loop ex.rate seems to be pulsewidth*no.Samples to read. in my case PW=60ms
Input buffer size measured with Property node= 10000
why this error happens?? i cant use any mode other than implicit timing for semi-period measurement right??
more info: all the ai channels are used ~ 16 differencial.
i found one solution which is _ reinitializing the whole task if an error occur. is this the right way??
Kudos always welcome for helpful posts

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

How does TC/TM prioritize backups and deletions?

I've recently installed a 500 GB TC and have used it to set up a backup schedule for two Macs using TM. I also want to add some archival files (old and unchanging, currently stored on several external HDs) and at a point in the near future I will want to back up a third Mac which isn't available at this point. My questions:
* Does TM delete old files on its own when it gets full to make room for new ones? If so, how would you run out of disk space as this support article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15137.html suggests?
* Can I override TM's logic by directly backing up my archival files onto my TC hard drive? (In other words, I assume if I connect my archival files to my Mac and backup through Time Machine it will see these as part of my Mac at a point in time and will eventually delete these files, but if I simply use the TM as a hard drive would they be protected?)
* Suppose I do run out of space and decide to delete some backups manually? Can I simply delete the oldest ones first? As a new user this looks like a risky practice because my first backup consumed much more space than any of the subsequent ones, which makes sense because those were just backing up changes.

So I guess I would have to manually delete the oldest backups from the sparseimage for the first Mac, to gain space for backing up the second Mac?
Some kind of preference setting for this would be welcome. If I start backing up two Macs, and continue to do so, then will they just compete about the space until full, will they occupy space 50/50 or dependent on how often backups are done?
Very strange that Apple does not explain how backing up several Macs actually works. I have posted feedback to Apple on this.

When typing my mac keeps highlighting and deleting stuff or it jumps back into an old word and starts typing in the middle of it what is going on??

When typing my mac will highlight words and totally delete them or it will jump back into something I already typed and start typing in the middle of that word... just started doing this about three weeks ago. Any idea what is up???

Found the problem! Very weird!

Wow! I would have never thought to look at the battery! This problem started for me after I closed the lid of my '08 MacBook Pro last night. This morning when opened ithe lid (which seemed a little difficult) and I started typing the problem was there. I read a bunch of similar threads but nothing helped (Tap to Click...). Then I saw the above from Macrumors and looked at my battery. One side is slightly bulging and is putting pressure on the trackpad bar from below. I can avoid the problem by typing with my hands off the surface of the Mac, suspended above the keyboard, but the battery needs replacing I guess. It must have overheated when I closed the lid last night, though it should have slept properly, sometimes Chrome or Flash running in Chrome won't let it sleep. I usually just manually 'sleep' it from the Apple menu without closing the lid.
Side note:
I just had the whole MacBook refurbished by Apple for $300 a year or so ago, but they didn't change the battery then. Still a great deal...new display, logic board, display board, ram... I swapped the original 200GB HDD for a larger hard disk (750GB) from iFixit. It's been running great ever since but I have noticed some laggy text entry recently or since switching to Mavericks...maybe related to the battery starting to fail.

Exporting catalog, making changes, then importing catalog does not update file movements and deletions

I export part of my master catalog to a laptop. I include the image files so I can edit the files at full res. After managing and editing files I import the catalog back into the master catalog. When importing I check to replace metadata, develop settings and negative files. I have been running some tests to be sure all my work is being captured in the master catalog by this process. I find that if I change develop settings or photo ratings this is detected when the file is imported and the data in the master catalog is updated properly. The surprise is that if I delete files or move files among folders in the exported catalog these changes are not detected and these changes are not updated inthe master catalog. It seems bizarre to me that such changes are not detected but I do not see how to get LR to recognize these changes and include them in the catalog update. Without this capability I don't see how to use catalogs to move part of a catalog to another computer for edits and file management and then move back to the master catalog.

There are various reasons why Lightroom works this way, but you'll need use pick flags to indicate photos to be deleted, and other metadata like colours or collections.

Final Cut shuts down when I try to stop logging and capturing

Ok, so I know whoever answers will need more technical specifics but for now this is the deal. I have been trying to import footage from a DV camera into final cut and once I try and stop the camera or when I press 'esc' final cut unexpectedly shuts down. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks!

Computer is a Macbook Pro, Version 10.4.11. Drive is a G-Tech - G-Drive 500 GB and I use a Firewire 400 when I connect it to my computer though I import straight into the computer from the camera with a firewire. Camera is a Panasonic AG-DVX100. I have Quicktime 7.6.4. My Final Cut Pro is 6.0.5. My capture preset is DV NTSC 48kHz. Device control preset is Firewire NTSC. Vid rate is 24fps, compressor info is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC and Data Rate is 2.9 MB/sec Not sure if I've given you enough information. I also have a report from when it crashed if it helps any. Thank you.
