• AVG or Sophos and Sierra?

  I tried this post in the Sierra forum, but I don't know how.

  Can anyone tell me if AVG or Sophos now work with Sierra?

  I tried a few weeks ago and it crashed my computer so I removed it and everything all right.

  But I'm worried about getting a virus. I have used AVG and Sophos in the past, they are free, and I loved them.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Just think about it this way. Why would you want a program that, at best, can only look for virus Windows, since they cannot search for non-existent Mac viruses?

  If you're worried about malware and adware, those who are different kettles of fish, and the best defense is you.

  Good day.

  Things returned to normal when I excluded thunderbird. EXE from analysis of sdefender of window operations. But it's dangerous for security. How to fix this please?
  Thank you.

  Thunderbird is compatible with Windows 10. Defender problems are exactly that. Something that Microsoft needs to fix.

  Regarding a malicious attachments go. What of them?

  Before they can do any harm, they must be transformed into a binary file in the text, they are converted to attach them to the message and then be written in the Temp folder so they can be passed to the operating system with an application for opening of their. An antivirus program that cannot detect the payload of a newly written file and keep it opens is not worth the CPU cycles which is uses for to fail in its primary function. Defender claims to do this. If it isn't, still an issue for Microsoft. Now Thunderbird...

• AVG detects a Trojan js/banker horse

  I use dev edition (I don't know if this is the right place to post) and when I try to log on to a site avg warn me that the two files in the folder profiles might be trojan JS/banker. Is this only a problem AVG and I just need to add to the exceptions?
  I thank you in advance (and sorry for my English broken).

  What place and AVG report fact file?

  If this in the disk cache (AppData\Local) then this is probably a false positive and you can ignore it.

  Have you tried to empty the disk cache?

  Clear the cache and delete cookies from Web sites that cause problems.

  "Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

  'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

• Download junk in the background every time that I run Firefox (and I do not have installed AVG)

  I am aware of this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997796 - but I haven't installed AVG. Every time I run Firefox, even in an empty tab page, a few seconds later my bandwidth starts used. I got Cucusoft Net installed guard and TCPEye, and both show that Firefox is connected to the internet and download - even if I have not loaded any page, there's always on 'new tab '...

  I too FDM, but this happens with or without its execution (ditto with my XAMMP localhost installation.)

  I have disabled all add-ons, and run Firefox in safe mode, still the same thing happens: when I start a new tab, my bandwidth is murdered (parenthesis: my normal surfing via Telkom Mobile internet is sloooow between 60 Kbps and 250 Kbps if I'm lucky, but the download of this background is off-the-charts more than 1 200 Kbps and a few seconds) (, I lost more than 20 MB of mobile internet really really expensive, I just can't afford to waste, that's why I have all these monitors TCP and network graphics running all the time.)

  I also ran a Kaspersky rootkit revealer and reported no threat. I have ZoneAlarm antivirus and firewall that does report also no infection (ditto ClamWin)

  I found the problem... it's Firefox.

  How bloody rude of Firefox... I put my browsers NOT auto-Update (because my bandwidth is so bloody expensive) but you choose to override my settings and auto-update anyway... WITHOUT MY CONSENT.

  How bloody rude.

  There's a reason why we put 'no' to the updates, and I expect that respect you this shit.

• Why Firefox doesn't mean I download AVG

  The AVG site announces a Firefox link for their privacy add-on. Firefox then prevents the connection. Is a "questionable" site, AVG?

  I suggest to use any product AVG, duplicate the functionality already in Firefox, are sub-par in how to detect viruses and have a history of causing other bugs and security problems.

• Thunderbird 31.5.0 slow to send. Win7 + AVG Int security

  Most of the features in Thunderbird are fine, except that SEND takes an eternity to complete. Seems that this began with the last update Tbird.
  I deleted Trash folders & sent as well as the compact folders. My Windows software is all patched up-to-date as is my AVG Internet Security Version 2014.0.4800 with virus database as of March 19, 2015.

• I've updated to Firefox 36 automatically, however, it does not start. I tried firefox safe mode, reinstall, uninstall avg antivirus, eks.

  The computer restarts during the night to install updates. Everything was fine, but now Firefox, which has been updated to version 36, will not launch. Basically, I double click on it, I get a little access to the disk and nothing. I tried to start firefox safe mode. Same thing is happening. I uninstalled by deleting any Mozilla Firefox files, programs and relocation. Still will not start. I uninstalled the old version of AVG. Still will not start. I have Microsoft Security Essentials running and have updated. Still will not start. I need new ideas.

  I just want to confirm a step that you took. When you say you deleted the program files Firefox content, this may have taken all the Firefox of the components off of your computer.

  The steps that you must follow to remove a potentially corrupted installation of firefox are:

  Open your Start menu, select "program files." In program files, select "Programs and features", this should open your window "uninstall or change a program". In this window, locate your program "Mozilla Firefox". Select the program with a left click then "Uninstall", which will appear once the program is highlighted.

  This process will remove the registry changes that can ask questions. After you completely uninstall firefox from your programs, perform a new installation of the latest version of the browser.

  If you have already completed this process without success, so there may be other problems with your windows updates, it's not uncommon. If you have problems after a new installation of Firefox, after following the instructions above, please check if your browser "Internet Explorer" is to have the same questions, if yes, then you may have problems more serious that will require new measures.

• Problems of Firefox and AVG dialog

  I have a weird problem that just started today. My antiviris AVG program maintains the opening of dialog boxes to download what it claims it's a file cpm.htm, described as a file HTML Firefox and coming from cpm.avg.com. Box asks if I want to download the file. I can't close the unhappy things if I close one, another opens, it's like dealing with the head of Medusa.
  It doesn't seem to be any email support for AVG, just a USA phone number (I'm in the United Kingdom). Did somebody encountered this problem? I guess it's a virus, but none of my 'tools' have found anything (SpyBot, Malware Winzip).

  Problem is now solved. It was an AVG issue and not Firefox but necessary remote tech support for AVG to kill the problem.

• New to Firefox. Should what modules I launch? Pushes its antivirus AVG toolbar. Is this necessary?

  RELATING to the safety and security: are there additional modules should I run?

  While I was on Chrome I got the feeling that Google was a form of filtering or come with caveats.

  Mozilla automatically notify me if there are search results or links ladle or should I add a few 3rd party software like AVG toolbar?

  Firefox has many built-in security features. AVG security toolbar is especially snake oil, it of pretty useless and can cause other issues. You can discover the list of modules to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

• my homepage is set to google, but it shows up as a yahoo avg search engine. How can I fix it?

  my homepage is stuck on a yahoo avg search engine.

  Hello

  You can change your homepage settings:

  • Tools (or the menu button

    

    ) > Options > general

  You can also change your search preferences by changing the provider search engine to your search bar - what will change the home page search bar and the search engine used in your address bar when you enter a query instead of a web address. On the default interface, the search bar is the bar to the right of the address bar, just click on the logo on the left side of this bar to open a drop-down list of search engines and change to whatever you want.

  If those who do not change your home page, go to:

  • Tools (or the menu button

    

    ) > Addons > Extensions

  And remove the AVG bar tools/all other extensions that you don't want. If you want to reset all default settings, your search preferences, you can install the extension search reset reset your preferences and then uninstall itself.

  If you restart Firefox, and you find that your settings changed to AVG, you have a software that prevents your preferences to change. See the article How to fix preferences that will not save.

• Can I stop AVG (excessive use by Firefox) warnings WITHOUT turning off? (Thank you.)

  Hello. Sorry I can't give you the exact title / message - it appears then disappears quickly.

  Basically, it's a warning that Firefox is the excessive use of memory (..?). It is more an annoyance than anything else. How can I get AVG and Firefox to "play nice"? (; >) Thanks in advance for your help. ~ IslandFox

  You can contact the AVG support and ask how to "twist" or disable the setting for the AVG function.

• Delete AVG Search add-on

  I tried this for a while, but it doesn't seem anyone actually removed. I have seen that messages from people turn it off and resetting the page by default, etc.. I actually want to REMOVE, but the function remove on the search of AVG security does nothing, for example the help button and other options open something, or of the information, but if I click on the option ' Hide/uninstall' then nothing will happen.

  http://S30.postimg.org/lsylkw3k1/AVG_Search.PNG

  As you can see there is no option 'remove '.

  Some programs will not be able to be uninstalled via the control panel. You can search the AVG toolbar in the Add/Remove programs in the control panel section.

  • Start-> Control Panel-> uninstall a program

• AVG says your messed up my Verizon Yahoo's email server. The line that bed, delete, move, not spam, but... does not load. I can see my email, I just can't open

  I spent over 5 hours in computer shares with AVG. They said your server messed up my email account. I can access my email account, but the line that reads "delete, move, not spam, more' loads ever... so I can't delete the email or anything else. My email account is to verizon yahoo. I need access to my email for various reasons, one of them being pay several bills online and my email account is where to get confirmation that the payment has gone through! My email works through IE, however. I don't want to use IE to see my email... I use Firefox for everything and it would be a pain in the end to have to switch to IE to access my mail. Not to mention, I hate IE - it's like using WEBTV! It's so slow... [address removed by email, please do not provide sensitive information in a public forum] is my email...

  So Safe Mode made no difference?

  To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?

  Create a new Firefox profile

  A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

  Out of Firefox and start in profile to help Manager start > run:

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Do not delete anything here.

  Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button to create a profile, assign a name like TEST and skip the option to choose a different folder location. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

  Yahoo does not improve in the new profile?

  When you return to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the button Delete a profile on TEST. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.
