An update has been downloaded without my permission, and he says to install pending... How do you prevent to settle?

I made the mistake of clicking on "check for updates" because he instead downloaded the update. I have my settings the value "check for updates but let me choose whether to install them", but the button ' Check for Updates ' does not allow me to choose... they are downloaded immediately.

It is a serious violation of my trust in Firefox and I will not allow these updates to install. If I can't stop them... I uninstall Firefox and wash my hands of Mozilla permanently.

Firefox 14.0.1
Mac OS X 10.7.5

If files have already been downloaded, then delete files in the updates and the updates/0 file in the Firefox application.

You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (this will clear the update history).

  • KB2656353 security update has been downloaded every time that I have stop my computer and when I start upward again in recent days.

    This download is there yet.  It seems to be the same, this is the first time that I wrote the code at the end.  I still download, allowing to update at the stop.  It is not usually this many Microsoft Downloads.

    Full text of update: a security update for MS .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 x 86 (KB2656353)

    I have also had problems with my computer.  Had a friend for the holidays watch, which quarantined to a single file.  The only thing we could figure out was that my McAfee program was running whenever I clicked or moved in my email accounts and he used all of the memory 2 g.  So I switched browsers Firefox, McAfee was not doing this, then it was fixed.  After about 5 days at home, McAfee was running with Firefox and slow things down.  I have McAfee online and they are gone, removed a bunch of files placed in quarantine and not something in the software.  It helped, but I still have questions that I had before my friend watched during the holiday season.  (If my printer is left on my computer is hampering trying to close or start.)  I never had this problem at the last place I've lived, but also had a direct line to the internet modem, when I am on a wireless adapter.  And I had problems with the computer in my old USB ports corrupt flash drives.  (* sigh * I just turn my printer power on and off when I need and turn off wireless on this subject because of this problem.)

    I also had a warning of 'virtual memory is low' and also known as the end, and it is displayed when the computer is in standby or when I left it for a few minutes.  Again, I have 2G of RAM, but all these strange things began to happen as soon as I started running internet from a wireless key, not that I don't have the choice in my current setting.

  • Windows 10 has been downloaded to my computer as a virus. What you want to put this on my laptop, like that, without me hitting a button.

    * Original title: Windows 10

    I was on my laptop when I get that annoying pop about 10 Windows and X is turned off. Today it pops up behind what I was watching and by chance I saw because 10 Windows has been downloaded to my computer as a virus. What you want to put this on my laptop, like that, without me hitting a button you never try and hack my laptop without my permission. If you want to explain 10 Windows it's good.

    It is a forum for peer-to-peer volunteers public World Wide web.

    Essentially, you missed (or simply press the 'X') the message you plan / cancel the upgrade.  It is more a case of 'you don't say no... " (that does not suck).

    Learn more about that here:

    http://www.PCWorld.com/article/3073457/Windows/how-Microsofts-nasty-new-Windows-10-pop-up-tricks-you-into-upgrading.html

    Basically (with some variations) three ways to restore your computer to a previous operating system, once it has been upgraded to Windows 10...

    * Best method: restore using a full image backup of the system that you have created in your normal computer maintenance tasks.  If you do not do so during your normal maintenance, you should probably expand it once you get things in the State you want.  If you've done one, but still need help to apply it, just answer here and someone can / will surely help you.

    Possible next method: (with reservations as being less than 30 days since the upgrade, you having not done anything that would affect the three necessary directories to restore like disk cleanup or or using online media creation tool) use integrated Windows 10 to your previous operating system recoverability.  The following link will take you to a web page that explains this method pretty well and completely:
    http://www.CNET.com/how-to/Windows-10-how-to-roll-back/

    Possible next method: use your installation media/recovery media to restore the system to the factory settings and update/install other apps using their media and restore periodic backups / consistent personal and other data.  It is a CLEAN INSTALLATION (from scratch).

  • Cannot install the updates, receive error message: automatic updates has been disabled by the administrator, but I don't.

    Original title: How can I, as an administrator, turn on automatic updates, whenever I try, I get an error message saying that automatic updates has been disabled by the administrator.  I didn't do it, then?

    Question stands as is.

    Hello

     

    1. have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    2. What antivirus application is installed on the computer?

    3. What are the different user accounts on the computer?

    This problem occurs if Windows Update has been disabled by one of the following settings:

    · Group Policy

    · System policy
    · Registry

    I suggest you follow these methods and check.

    Method 1: Perform the clean boot and try to install the updates.

    To do this, follow the steps in this link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    NOTE: Once you check the functionality, follow the suggestions under steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state.

     

    Method 2: Try to turn on the auto update by following the steps in the link below.

    How to configure automatic updates by using Group Policy or of registry settings

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/328010

    Registry warning: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756

    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

     

    Method 3: Turn off the antivirus application and try to download the updates and check.

     

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

    Method 4: Perform a full scan of the computer using the following antivirus applications.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Malicious software removal tool: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

     

    I hope this helps!

  • Why does CS3 ask a DVD when it has been downloaded?

    For some strange reason, CS3 claims that I have to reinstall. So, I downloaded the installers of the store. The ReadMe file simply double-click on setup.exe and follow the instructions. The first thing it does is to ask the DVD is inserted. How is this possible when the application has been downloaded? Is what kind of logic this? How can I get the installer of re - install the products I paid?

    I am very dissatisfied with adobe right now.

    You do not uninstall the original version and there may be a few references to a DVD of installed base stored somewhere. The installation of the so-called repair does not, in any case. Uninstall everything first, then reinstall it. You may also manually remove the caps.db in C:\Program Files (x 86) \common fiels\Adobe\caps. Note that due to a bug in CS3, you need to run twice, what is uninstall, remove the ccaps.db, reinstall, uninstall again without remove the caps.db and then reinstall a 2nd time or well you can see mistakes a license.

  • May have been wrong to accept the false update yesterday 08/20/11 How can I determine if false update has been installed?

    I was working today on our old XP, Firefox update failed because it was a trick. Yesterday a Firefox updated was approved on our laptop (Vista). How know if we ourselves have infected? Thank you.

    Do not worry. The message "something tried to trick Firefox" is just poorly written. This simply means that Firefox did not verify the certificate of the update and as a result has not installed. Other discussions on this message seem to suggest that this happens quite often and is not, in fact, an indication of "something try to trick Firefox", but a failure of Firefox itself.

    If the update has been installed on the second time, so this time that he managed to check the certificate, as well as the update is ok.
