A message from Firefox that Serw.Clicksor.W32 has infected my computer and asked me to call the 1-888-862-6483. Who is this?
I saw this message two times on my computer, it comes with Firefox logo and asked me to call this number. I didn't call, I did a scan on my computer but nothing showed up.
This could be a scam caused by malicious software on your system. Firefox itself does not analyze malware and are not asking you to call a phone number to solve the problem.
Firefox protects you from known malware and phishing sites, but which has a red background with a bet caveat

Microsoft does not send e-mails.It is a complete scam. Do not respond to it.

How to stop messages from Skype that suddenly appears on my screen when other people use my computer? using windows 8, but I can't control these messages (sometimes very) distracting to appear?
Hello
If you are allowing others to use the computer, set up a new account for each user. They would then not be able to display your desktop or Skype messages.

I am extremely grateful for any help, this problem is about to drive me
crazy!I solved my problem...
To temporarily disable closing kick, after that the warning popup will appear, I went the prompt commands and typed in 'shutdown-a' so I could help out.
Then I went in under the Application Event Viewer and saw that some services weird I don't need anyway did not start because they had missing information/dll registry info. It was originally the svchost.exe service to fail (and default recovery for this is to reboot)
I stopped the weird service (in this case, it was Hello) because I didn't need anyway, and went into the properties of this service and past earlier in "Manual" "automatic".
Good luck

Original title: open Firefox and explore
When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly. I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.
Hello

I was just trying to find a way to get a video on the internet, so I searched it upward and found a video for a specific add on that was on Mozilla Firefox, so I downloaded it, and soon after I had my browser would let me open my menu cookies more. And I'm afraid it has infected my computer too, because now I can't open my Control Panel Application on my windows computer more. The add-on called "Flash Video Downloader - Youtube HD download [4K] 6.9.3".
It is possible that this extension is not fully compatible with the current version and causes this problem.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
