Re: [WAMUG] Tuesday's meeting

[Daniel Kerr via WAMUG]

No worries Tony, glad that helped.

It’s actually quite clever,..(in a bad way). As 1) it uses an “icon” to make it 
look like it’s a System Preference to trick you into thinking it’s coming from 
the System itself and so you don’t look at it in Safari and 2) because it’s in 
Safari it uses your browsing history to “tailor” the pops to each person. So 
say you went to your bank (Westpac), and then Dymocks to look at a book, it 
will tailor the pop up notification to say “your Westpac account has been 
compromised” or “Dymocks link you visited was infected, so now your computer is 
infected. And so on. So each notification/pop up is different for each person.

And because it’s a Safari Notification item, most Malware/Virus scanners won’t 
see it when you run a scan. 

If only all these people that wrote bad things actually put their work to 
good,..the world would be a better place! :)

Enjoy your day. (Pop up free,..hehe).

Kind regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel

All done thank you. It was getting annoying, popping up every few minutes.

Take care

Re: [WAMUG] Tuesday's meeting

[Daniel Kerr via WAMUG]

Hi Tony

It’s actually not a virus or Malware. So scans won’t pick it up. 
It’s a weird notification and you can remove it as follows. 

Open Safari. 
Go to preferences. / Settings
Go to Websites
On the left hand side Go right to the bottom to Notifications. Click on this. 
On the right hand side you’ll see a list of things. At the very top of this 
will be one that just has a small icon but no text beside it. Click on it once. 
Then click remove down the bottom. 

It will then remove it and you shouldn’t get the notifications anymore 
(You may need to Quit and re-open Safari again. )

But that should remove it and resolve it. 
Kind regards 
Daniel

Re: [WAMUG] Tuesday's meeting

[Stephen Chape via WAMUG]

   Hi Tony.

   I assume you have a virus & internet protector in place ?

   If so I suggest you run a full scan.

   It could be your virus protector giving the message.

   If not may I suggest your buy and install BitDefender.

   Then ask it to run a full scan.

   I have been using this for a few years and it has won the BEST award 3
   years running.

   Macs are good at protecting themselves, but NOT foolproof.

   BitDefender has told me a few times that it has detected and removed a
   virus.

   It has also blocked unwelcome entities.

Re: [WAMUG] Tuesday's meeting

[Anthony (Tony) Francis via WAMUG]

Good Morning fellow wamuggers

It’s been a while and sorry I missed the meeting yesterday, I would have liked 
to learn a little more about AIRDROP.

My reason for contacting the list today is because I am being bombarded with a 
message that keeps repeating every 5 or so minutes, it shows in the top right 
hand corner of my desktop under the safari logo telling me that I have 5 
viruses in my system and the name used is VINEGARD ?? I have tried to find the 
source as to how this message is activated but I can’t find it, the message 
appears even with the wireless turned off, so it’s within my system somewhere.
Any thoughts guy’s?

Thanks all, have a great day

Kind Regards

Tony Francis
