Anti-spam software installed that cannot be removed from FIrefox
I accidentally installed a spam-like a real application software (link to the announcement on the real site resembling download real). He installed a ton of different applications of spam, marketing and advertising on my computer, FIrefox, Chrome and IE to ruin. All the sweet is now uninstalled, computer has been scanned with an antivirus and anti-malware and are no threat. Chrome and IE are clearly without any problem, but Firefox is still Web sites redirect to add sites and adding spam ads on almost on every page.
There are two extensions you installed, Adobe and Oracle (two people with reduced mobility) and some Add-onns but all look authentic (office, Cisco codec, flash, Adobe, Foxit and Silverlight.
I already reinstalled Firefox twice with no success, and to be honest I have no more ideas on how to do to remove this application.
Could you please help?
What did you use to search for malware?
This is our recommended 'tools' to use. You may need to use them all.
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

suddenly, I have a really scary "locator" in my toolbar that keeps asking me if I want to share my location. Fork no! Totally not desired. When I right click the option "remove from toolbar" is dead. Sucks. Can I stop using mozilla because of this. Help please
This happens when sites Web requests access to your location. Instead of automatically give to Web site, firefox asks if you want to share. If you never share your location, follow these steps:
1. type "subject: config" in the address bar
2 in the search box that appears, type "geo.enabled".
3. double-click on the entry which seems set to false -
I have ESXi 4.1 and with vSphere Client to manage virtual machines.
Some of my users continue to use the 'remove from inventory"rather than the option" remove disc "in vSphere when they want to delete the virtual machine.
This leaves the computer virtual on the data store but not used. I have since removed this privilege among the offending users but I need to do a bit of cleaning.
I have a lot of files on the data store where users have done this in recent years. Probably about 150 records but only 80 VM listed in the inventory.
Is there a way I can output, a report showing the data of each machine store directory in inventory so that I can remove anything not on this list? ID rather not to manually check the parameters of all 80 VM in the inventory.
Out ideal would be something like:
MyVmNameHere 1, \MyVmDirectoryHere1\ [DataStore1]
MyVmNameHere2, \MyVmDirectoryHere2\ [DataStore1]
A great tool to discover all this and much more is RVTools

A new installation of Windows 7, Home version will get rid of all viruses?
If so, do I just trust antivirus Windows 7 or is there another anti-virus (Avast, McAfee, etc.) I can run at the same time which will take care of any future problems?There is no "Windows 7 antivirus." Though is an installation of Windows 7 from XP (which requires a disc format) is almost certainly going to get rid of your current malware problem (there are some "boot sector" virus rare which can survive with a format), you can quickly end up in a similar situation unless you change which seems to be not not very safe computing habits.
The application named "Windows Defender", which is built into Windows 7 is only an anti-spyware tool (also true of Windows Defender for XP and Vista). You need an antivirus application as well. Microsoft Security Essentials is the current Microsoft free antivirus app. As I understand it, MSE is good enough, although I'd rather pay for ESET NOD32 Antivirus.
Whatever you choose, only run a real-time antivirus application, although it is perfectly fine to perform periodic analyses to use another tool. In addition, it is very important to keep your system up-to-date by setting Windows Update runs automatically. You must keep your applications up to date as well, because the attacks thanks to various applications such as Adobe Acrobat are not unknown.
You might be interested in reading of the 'response' of MVP Kosh Vorlon in this thread for about a year.
BTW, System Restore is NOT designed to get rid of a malware infection, and probably will not.

Why not remove the program files for the programs that I have removed from my computer?
I deleted the AVG Internet Security on my computer. Under my program files, there is still a case for moy. My computer won't let me remove it. It says "cannot delete avgcgfx.dll: access is denied, check that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use." It is not used because I deleted it. This is not the first time that I could not delete a folder. What is the solution and why is it?
Hello
What operating system do you use?
I suggest you to take ownership of the folder and try to delete the folder
