I started a threat because I think my mac is hacked and when I went back to it, this is what I see, what does this mean? I am the admin of the mac so I don't know why it's popping up ?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
If you posted content that was in violation of the Apple Support Communities TOU, that's why your post was removed by an Apple moderator.

thread* sorry typo
no it was a long discussion , some one replied to my question and went i went to check, its gone, can you see if it's my computer or it's been deleted, it still goes up on google, just that I cant open it when I sign in!!
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7100700 can you open this ?
It could have also contained a response that had information in violation of the ToU from another user. It so does necessarily mean that the forbidden content was posted by you. If it was, you should get an email from the hosts alerting you of what you did to violate the ToU.
Thanks, yes I think that's what happened, some one wrote a long reply, i got an email but when i went to the discussion it was gone! Just already worried that my macs hacked so i'm feeling more and more paranoid!
Your Mac is very unlikely to be hacked, what makes you think it is?
Yes, that's a discussion by me and I can open it, I am talking about another discussion!
OK, so the discussion that is Restricted is restricted for everyone. The restriction has nothing to do with your Mac.

I opened a link disguised as picasa web albums and entered my email details which took me to a 'download picasa' page. It was a fake page something ending with atmywebpages.com and was sent by a hacker (i thought it was my friend at the time).
Although I didn't download anything and that email account was an old one that I don't use much, I am just worried if the hacker could have somehow hacked my mac! (i have changed the email accounts signed into my computer-the ones i use)
That was not the question
What (if any) behavior is your Mac exhibiting that suggests it is hacked (to you)
This is what the link looked like, didn't want to paste it, in case some one accidentally clicked on it hence the screen shot..
You still have not answered my question so I will leave you in other hands.
oh the mac is behaving normally so far, I just think of the worse case scenario to be on the safe side because of the interaction with a hacker.. I have a lottttt of pictures, documents and videos on the computer and I want to know they're safe and private on the mac !a
sorry the delay, the discussion makes me wait before I can reply again!
You have not been hacked, if the information you posted is accurate.
You really should start reading before you press buttons.
And you should also back up your computer. Are you making regular Time Machine backups? If not, start doing it. If your hard drive crashes, if your Mac gets run over by a car, if your Mac gets stolen, then your lottttt of pictures, documents, and videos, will disappear like smoke in a breeze....
