I seem to have picked up a weird virus on Firefox on my PC. On certain websites (e.g. this one, other relatively simple ones), but not others (google, ebay, other more complex ones), the following is showing up immediatey after the HEAD tag:
<script src="http://d.watchzombieinvasion.com/l/load.js"></script>
I first noticed it because a bubble-shaped div was appearing at the top of one of my websites, advertising a zombie game. The div disappeared on reload.
I did open firefox in safe mode, where all extensions and plug-ins are disabled, but the script is still showing up when I view the page source!
I'm running a virus scan right now. Any other thoughts on where to look for this annoyance?
Zombie Invasion malware removal: [link]
Thanks, amych. I ran malwarebytes and it found a bunch of Zombie Invasion stuff that it quarantined. I also needed to clear my browser's cache. The invasion appears to have been staved off!
A while ago I asked about Wordpress and why it was taking so @#$#@!!!!! long to do the create/restore backup. askye kindly responded (it was askye, wasn't it? if not, apologies ... I'm having disc space problems). I brought it up with the powers that be and it turns out it's because of something the vendor (oh so kindly) instituted so that we'd always have a mirror of the entire site ... in case it crashed. Obviously, they don't have a back-up system ... so it looks like I'm condemned to waiting 15 minutes (!!!!!) every time I publish a page.
Damn them.
Is there any way I can add "send by bluetooth" to my finder context menu. Or Pathfinder? I find finding the BT sending irritating when you take the rest of my workflow into consideration.
eta: I see in Path Finder where I can find any menu option--it's just very far away...
This is driving me nuts.
Somehow Andi's iPad 2 got it into its head that Andi wanted to use Google calendar for some things, Yahoo calendar for others, and iCloud calendar for more.
I have managed to turn off Google calendar in the iOS prefs, and set iCloud as primary. I would like to move or copy over those events in Yahoo calendar and merge them into the iCloud Calendar.
I can go to Yahoo and export her events to an ICS file, but I can't seem to find any way to upload them.
The major barrier is that newer versions of OSX are beyond the capabilities of my PowerPC machines, so I cannot run iCal or Calendar on OSX with a new enough version to sync.
I even created an outlook.com account for her, and imported into it, just to see if there was a way to sync. I'm still not sure.
Now, I do have a newer Windows 7 machine, but I can't see a way to sync that, either...and I have not succeeded in creating a hackintosh, yet.
Any suggestions, barring getting a new Mac for now?
We've been having internet connectivity issues on Comcast here at work--sometimes the connection is very intermittent where we gain and lose the connection every few minutes or even seconds.
This is a PITA when we're remoting into other computers 'cuz we lose the connection to the remote system and then have to spend time getting things the way they were when we get the internet back. So it'd be nice if we had some app that shows the history of the internet connection over the previous few hours--like something that would ping the internet every minute and then graph the results (connection or no) over a few hour period. That would give us some idea if the connection is stable enough to remote into other systems.
Any ideas?
I've been thinking of replacing my old tower PC with Hubby's laptop, but I really like the keyboard I use with the PC. Are there any general issues with plugging in a separate keyboard to a laptop as a permanent setup?
tommyrot, I've been having the same connectivity issues with Comcast for about a month. I suspect it's the router I got from Comcast. I always had my own router before. The problem is especially bad during the day - it's usually fairly stable at night.
