anonymox took my firefox browser and I cannot get rid of it!
I installed anonymox to see what he did. It slowed my system down incredibly and so after half an hour to try yo download AMD drivers for my graphics card, I decided that anonymox should go. It was when I discovered that he had taken over my browser firefox completely and does NOT ALLOW me to enter the Addons folder at all, nor it will allow me to reset firefox to its default settings.
I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox half a dozen times and nothing works. Please help me get rid of this intrusive piece of Adware.
Hey Sniperbait66,
Thank you for coming to this issue, the support forums. Could you do me a huge favor and try to start firefox in Mode safe? In your post, I noticed that he was not part of the options that you have tried.
Try to activate Safe Mode, see if it is still on your browser and try refreshing FireFox mode without failure. Once you do this answer please back here so that we can fix the issue if it doesn't fix it.
Safe mode:

Yahoo Search took over my browser, how can I get rid of it?
Firefox updated itself, obviously with the version with Yahoo Search. I think that Yahoo Search is less than my good old favorite and have not been able to get rid of the Yahoo search...
Search all engines have been eliminated except for my old favorite... good yet yahoo
Reinstalled firefox to download several months... all search engines eliminated except my good old favorite. ... to yahoo.
He wrote hate mail to Yahoo called them all but white, they counted they had won and thought I should start with firefox, after all, is their browser.
How should I do to get rid of Yahoo Search?

pI had the same problem - downloaded a free program and the next thing I knew, Yahoo had taken over my Firefox search bar. A solution that works for me (Windows 7, 64-bit) is to do the following:
Go to computer C: drive > Program Files (x 86) > Mozilla Firefox > searchplugins.
In the searchplugins folder, just delete the file "yahoo." Restart Firefox and voila! no more Yahoo!

Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I cannot get rid of the error message
I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from the site Web of Blackberry. When I run the Desktop Manager I get this message: "Before you start, check that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." Troubleshooting functions I've seen on this forum: many tips (ones I've tried is below). One in particular, that I can't do is "Office Manager shows"off". ".
-Make sure that the user has entered in the Desktop Manager and select options > connection settings > detect. »... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the menu options in the BB Desktop Manager.
I tried the following:
- uninstalled and reinstalled twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
- installs the cable to the USB port at the back (after having tried both ports at the front) of the computer
- rebooted the computer several times
- hard starts the phone by removing the battery
- plugged in, removed and replugged in the phone.
Also:
- The phone is properly install when I plug it in, but the software still does not seem to see it.
- In Device Manager, the BlackBerry appears under portable devices. Double clicking on it gives me the message "this device is working properly." of reassurring.
- The Com1 port is working properly, according to Device Manager.
- A double-click on the icon of the Device Manager to get the properties indicates that the Com1 port is "disconnected" - when I try to set it up, it appears just back to the disconnected state.
If someone has an idea or something that I have not tried, I'd be happy of course!
Thank you!

Good, people, after a phone call from 3 1/2 hour with a (very patient) phone support person to Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your drivers USB in this way:
- Plug your phone into your USB key. Assuming that your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
- Go into the Device Manager on your computer (Panel)
- Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers at the bottom of the list item
- Right-click on the BlackBerry smartphone, and then select Properties
- Click on the driver tab
- Click the driver Details button
- You should see a driver. I saw two. The one like the BlackBerry is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: we threw any driver who has been the "extra". This actually made using my mouse and keyboard cannot, because they are USB and my poor husband has sent in the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and mouse) with the old fashioned type of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't, don't.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you - it changes the registry to a backup system with this backup and restore if you are nervous about this kind of thing):
- On the start menu, choose run and type regedit into the registry editor.
- Follow this path to the file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, computer, class
- Click: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
- If there is an article called law "UpperFilters", delete it. (See photos)
Hope this helps someone.

I hate Adobe Flash and cannot get rid of it.
Over the years, many people have found ways around the Adobe Flash's boring and invasive. Each new iteration of Fox and Adobe puts it right into the FireFox browser and fits in my computer.
Adobe Flash is pervasive. No matter how many times I turn it off, set it to "ask every time", delete program files, or set to 'False', he comes back.
Adobe Flash allows the ads to play in your browser. This is the main objective. So for EACH PAGE LOADED in Firefox, the page crashes, slow charge, crash, or be diverted because of the publicity Adobe and this web page do you want to view.
It does not matter that the ads are for something, you have already purchased a month before; It is not you! It is Adobe, which makes it "look like" they delivered an announcement to your eyes. But they did not. They just made the page hanging, if you close Firefox and take another browser to get your own mission accomplished.
Firefox 39.0, Windows 7
Flash player is separte of Firefox that's why it's called a plugin.
To uninstall, you must remove it by using the Windows Operating Sytem. It is probably best to use the Adobe clean uninstall tool.Full instructions and a link to download the uninstall program (also has a link for Mac users)

I ran all virus time and time again and cannot get rid of this e-mail worm that continues to move forward, what I can do now, stop using hotmail?
Hello
Why do you think you have an e-mail worm? If you can't name it?
If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
(beneficiary).Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
mail.I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
as if by magic.)============================================================
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
Change it again after these checks.It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.How to read the message headers

virus: I struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them
I have struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them. I bought a few programs, but they have also been infected. any suggestions for a really good virus buster.
Hello
First of all, an antivirus solution to an already infected system of loading is usually pretty useless. The bug will block all attempts to remove or load what it sees as a threat. Second, without knowing which virus you are affected by, it is difficult to be precise.
You can take action include:
(a) work in safe mode, there is much less likely that the virus is able to load and resist actively.
(b) the safe mode, run utilities malwarebytes.org and AV solution that was installed * before * your infection.
(c) post is back with a better description of what is on your system to learn more targeted advice.
