Where do I find the virus scan on my iMac?

Read the sticky at the top of this page.
It got past your virus protection because your virus protection is garbage. Uninstall it.
And, there are no OS X viruses. Malware yes, but no viruses. You downloaded and installed the Trojan by choice. Trojans trick people into installing.

EDIT: Oops, duplication. I see Babowa has already given the link.
Stay far away from Norton. It has a bad history of wrecking Macs. If you want to run anything, get ClamXav or Sophos Home Edition, free. Never run Sophos after the first scan except in "On Demand" mode. Both free.

  • HT1349 Where can I find the antivirus software of my IMAC?

    WHERE can I find the antivirus software of my IMAC?

    There is none. It's already built-in to the OS. You do not need to install any third-party AV software.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:

  • HT1529 Where do i find the serial No on a IMac 4.1 please? I have looked on the "about this Mac" but it does not have the serial No on it!

    Where do i find the serial No on a IMac 4.1 please? I have looked on the "about this Mac" but it does not have the serial No on it!

    Until last July, the model identifier on every Intel Mac would tell you exact minimum and maximum expansion in terms of RAM, retail operating system, and any system specific required firmware updates, video and audio expansion capabilities, and patches for Wifi available.  The serial number is only of consequence if you wish to date a Mac down to the week.  This can help in determining system specific disks, available warranty, and exchange/repair program eligibility.  Outside of that the year and month can usually be narrowed down to a six month period with model identifier alone on all except MacPros.  So my question is, is it really that relevant for your needs?

  • Where can I find the 'Tools' menu on my iMac? OS is 10.9.5, Safari is 7.1.3.

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know how I can access the 'Tools' menu that I think should be on the top tool bar? I have searched on the net for help without any success.
    Thanks,
    David.

    You must be thinking about another browser. FireFox has a Tools menu--Safari does not. Most of the things FireFox puts under its Tools menu are found in Safari preferences.
    Editing or customizing the toolbar is accessible through Safari's View menu. If you need advanced features found unde "Web Developer" in the FireFox Tools menu, you can activate Safari's "Develop" menu by doing Safari > Preferencs and selecting the "Advanced "tab. At the bottom is a checkbox to show the Develop menu.
    Here is a comparison. FireFox's "Tools" menu with the web developer options expanded:
    Safari's "Develop" menu after activation:

  • Where can i find the 'notes' icon on my iMac?

    Notes isn't available in Mac OS X versions prior to 10.8. Back up your data and download Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

  • I scanned an item from my computer to my documents and it said then scan was complete. However, when I searched my documents the Item was not there. Where can I find the item?

    I scanned an Item from my computer to my documents. The scan was completed.  However, when I searched in my documents, the Item was not there.
    Where can I find the item scanned?

    Most scanners default to Pictures folder or the Desktop.
    If you select All My Files and Arrange by Date Added you should be able to find the file.
    If you turn on Show Path bar and Show Status bar for your Finder Window under View in the Menu bar, when you select the file you will see the path of the file in the bottom of the Finder window.

  • Where can I find the Function for Upload Documents

    Hi,
    i testing the SAP System "Netweaver Composition Environment" and i search for a Uploadfunction for Documents.
    I define a Virus Scan Provider in the SAP Netweaver, but i can only test the Virus Scan Provider with this Web: http://localhost:50000/vscantest .
    The Virus Scan Provider is running and find also Viruses, but i will not only use the Web "http://localhost:50000/vscantest" for testing the Virus Scanner.
    Can someone help me?
    Greetings,
    sneubert

    Usually the virus scanner is used for scanning Knowledge Management/Collaboration Documents, but KM is not part of Composition Environment. You can try to upload something inside the system administration in the portal (http://localhost:50000/irj) if it is installed.

  • Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache of sent text?

    Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache sent the text?
    For example, I posted an article on a news site, but found that only a small part of my article was posted.

    I'm not sure whether Firefox saved that information. There is a chance that it is in the session history file, especially if you haven't closed that tab yet. To check that:
    Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder) using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Find all files starting with the name sessionstore and copy them to a safe working location (e.g., your documents folder). In order to read a .js file, it is useful to rename it to a .txt file. Or you could drag it to Wordpad or your favorite word processing software.
    The script will look somewhat like gibberish, but if you search for a word in your article that doesn't normally appear in web pages, you may be able to find your data.
    Any luck?
    For the future, you might want to consider this add-on, although I don't know how long it saves data after you submit a form: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/].

  • I can't get my iPad to find my Apple TV. Where do I find the rectangle with the triangle in it to turn on the tv link. I have no problem doing this from my macbookpro.

    I can't get my ipad4 to find my Apple TV box, I where do I find the little rectangle box with a triangle in it that I click on my MacBook Pro to turn on the appletv?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • HT201272 Where can I find the app password saver by yonglin wang.  i wanted to restore my iphone and i had purchased this app and it is not anywhere in my purchases to reload.  Why is it not on my list of purchases?

    Where can I find the app "password Saver" by yonglin wang?  while updating my iphone the app was dropped for some reason.  I went to reload from my purchased apps and it is not available.  The history shows my purchase but I can not find the app to reload.  I've lost some critical info and need to retreive if possible.  Any suggestions?

    You tried what ? If the app is no longer available in the store (can you find it in the main part of the store ?) for re-downloading then you would need to have a copy of it somewhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, on a backup of your downloads.

  • On installation of Firefox 4 beta, it tells me that it won't run on my Mac. When I go to system requirements, it takes me to a page for Firefox3.6 requirements. Where can I find the requirements for the beta?

    The link to system requirements for Firefox 4 beta takes you to a page that gives you the requirements for Firefox 3.6 instead. I assume that the requirements for the beta are different as I can't seem to install the beta on my Macs. Where can I find the beta system requirements?

    I never expected Mozilla to neglect the users of Apple's PowerPC (PPC) computers, while still supporting much older operating environments such as Windows XP. So, I should just throw away a $6,000 system, which is still fast and functional, and contribute masses of heavy metals to land-fills because…?
    I'm hurt and confused after supporting Firefox for many years — installing and using it not only on my own computers but on most of my customers' computers. Now I have to tell my customers with PPC Macs they can't have a secure cross-platform browsing experience from Mozilla. They'll have to learn to use some other browser, or buy a new computer.
    If one doesn't buy a new computer every year, one doesn't deserve Firefox 4. This is sort of sounding more like a Microsoft™© doctrine. (But wait, I can still have Firefox 4 on a ''SERIOUSLY CRAPPY WINDBLOWS XP pile of rubbish?!'') Please open your eyes Mozilla. This just doesn't make sense.

    How can I delete files from it?

    The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA.  You may delete files by draging the file  to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete).  Then empty Trash.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie on Itunes last night and I watched half of it before falling asleep. Today I tried to open the movie and watch the last half but I cannot find it. It has been less than 24 hours since I rented it. Where can I find the movie?

    I rented a movie on Itunes last night and I watched half of it before falling asleep. Today I tried to open the movie and watch the last half but I cannot find it. It has been less than 24 hours since I rented it. Where can I find the movie?

    I found my answer in another Thread and it worked... so for anyone who needs it, here it is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19134562#19134562
    Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
    Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
    This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

  • Where can i find the "online hel

    Hello all i am using Audigy 2 ZS in Windows XP

    this:

    so where do i find the "online Help"?
