Annoying pop-up windows

How can I get rid of the pop-up windows at startup which makes me think to check the updates... cheez, boring

Hi Elinyc,
Here's how: click Start, select Control Panel > Security > Windows Update >(left pane) change the settings, then under "major updates" choose either "install updates automatically (recommended) ' or 'never check updates (not recommended)' according to your preferences.
Under "Software Notifications" uncheck "show me detailed notifications when new Microsoft software is available.
This should stop all popups of windows update.

  • (Legitimate) -Pop-up Windows every time you start Firefox

    So, lately every time I start Firefox, the new browsing session retrieves the pop-up windows during previous sessions (since the last time or even some of love it, three days ago), I long closed down. My boot option was always "show my windows and tabs from last time ' who used to do exactly this: pick up the tabs I had open or start with a new blank tab if I had opened. Now, however, whenever I open FIrefox I get different windows of previous sessions.
    The problem here is that this doesn't SEEM to be a malware issue because I don't get weird ad/questionable windows but "legitimate" pop ups I me remember I started personally is to say a photo or an image of a trusted site that opened in a new window or a help section on amazon.com , etc.
    This is a first and as you can imagine it has become very annoying. I use Firefox 25.0.1.
    Any ideas? Thank you!

  • I get a pop-up telling me to update my operating system. How can I disable this pop-up window?

    There is an annoying pop-up that loads whenever I start Firefox. He tells me to update my operating system, as it does not support the latest version of Firefox. But it is the most advanced version of the operating system my system will dial with, so it's not an option.

    How can I disable the pop-up?

    Hello

    It would have helped us if you had given the name of this specific software

    now, guess that it is Malware as you do not give the name of it!

    Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

    You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

    If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    If the error persists after scanning use this program to out startup

    This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more.

  • Opening of session of Sierra produced several pop-up windows

    Since the upgrade to Sierra a series of pop-up windows appears right after the desktop appears.  One is a settings dialog box "analysis of the PC" apparently linked to the Canon MX920 we use, even if the printer/Scanner sharing is disabled in system preferences.

    A second pop-up window is an error Java SDK chronic also appeared after the initial upgrade of El Capitan.  This popup is displayed regardless of the question of whether Java is updated to the latest rev, or once the Pref window disappears completely in the system preferences panel.

    The windows popup to third and following related to the parameters of the firewall for "openinfo" network connections, "openexec" and "openbase.  These popups appear even if the settings of the firewall have been set to 'Allow' or 'Block' inbound network traffic for each of them... and for "openbase" even once the OpenBase Pref Pane has been removed from the System Prefs.  In addition, they appear even after the firewall has been disabled.

    The next update of Sierra should address these errors as soon as POSSIBLE or we will return to Yosemite.

    Changing the settings of firewall to block all incoming connections eliminates the popups mentioned in the third paragraph above.

    The "Scan of the PC Settings" and the Java SDK error dialog boxes always appear after the successful logon.  Running MalwareBytes and ClamXav do not eliminate these pop-up windows.

  • Cannot print a pop-up or pop-under window

    .. When the popup is really helpful, as in "boarding!

    The popup was not a button 'print '. In addition, a right-click on the pop-up window is not a PRINT option, and not being a popup, there is no menu either.

    This is a serious omission by FF.

    You can use {Ctrl + P} to print in this type of situation.

    Regarding the absence of a menu item print from the context menu, Firefox has never had a. But there are a few extensions that add to this context menu item. I use this one:

  • Eliminate continues/annoying POPs for Flash install - how?

    Just tried to switch to Firefox of Safari - how can I get rid of a recurring pop-up that asks if I want to install Flash to view content on the site web I just tried to visit. I have blocked in the preferences pop up windows.

    This may cause me to stop using Firefox as I don't want Flash on my computer--because of the continuous demands to store unknown information on my computer.

    Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

    In the old version of Firefox 30 that you seem to be using, you can switch pref plugins.notifyMissingFlash false on the topic: config page.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    Please upgrade to the current version of Firefox 39.0.

    It is important to update Firefox and Add-ons to the latest versions for all security patches.

    If he has problems with the update or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a fresh install of the new version.

    Your personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other data to personal when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox.

  • Uncloseable pop-up windows in firefox for mac

    Hello

    Some Web sites will open the pop-up windows, even if I have a pop-up blocker enabled.

    The problem with these pop-up windows, it is that they have the option close as for other windows of Firefox for Mac.

    This results in the ToolTip remains open and the only way I can get rid of it is to stop completely from Firefox.

    Maybe you could try the keyboard shortcut command + W (close the current tab) or command + SHIFT + W (close the current window) when the pop-up window appears in the foreground.
