I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11. recently when I open the System preferences/Network, a message saying "Your Network settings have been changed by another application" pops up. I can't get rid of this message, it keeps coming back when I click OK. I tried reboot, doesn't help. Does anybody know what is wrong?:confused:
 
Maybe Parallels or VMware has created extra Network ports (for network-sharing purposes) and something is going wrong with trying to save it..?
 
I have restarted the computer, and started no applications...
 
What is that? Sorry I'm a new user of Apple. Can you give a little more details? Thanks!
 
A trojan horse is basically a type of spyware that you can get on mac and PC.

They trick you into downloading them then hide inside your system pretending to be other files.

The DNSchanger is a nasty one that my moms computer had. Basically it changes your DNS settings to route through other DNS servers, severally slowing down you internet and lowering security.

Thank you. I downloaded the DNSchanger removal tool, after scanning, no DNSchanger is detected. But the problem persists. Anything else you can think of?
 
I have parallel desktop running WindowsXP, if that's what you are asking...
 
I have been using parallel desktop for a while, but this problem is new.
