AVG2015 keeps blocking the file prefs.js because of "potentially be OSX/tap.

Well, you saw the title.

Simply, this started happening yesterday evening and I don't know why because it's never happened before. I'm sure this is a false positive, but I do not know how AVG who know.

The prefs.js file is located in the "AppData/Roaming.

When AVG blocks the file, it also auto generation of the other prevents it. I have to restart my computer for FireFox generate another prefs.js... which then gets blocked for the same reasons again.

I don't know what to do at this point.

I know that uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox are my last resort I have 7 years I don't want to lose data.

Right now, I have FireFox in safe mode and still work as I left it (same bookmarks, same saved passwords, cookies do not affected, etc.). I can not just save preferences.

I hope it's just one of those random adjustments that AVG has. Otherwise, this foreshadows a more serious problem and I hope really is not the case.

Sorry for the delay. While it's important, I had other things to do.

Well, it seems that it was a false positive. After a sweep of Advance SystemCare and a reboot, AVG simply ceased to block.

I was about to publish a bunch of stuff that might help her figure this out, but now it's useless... However, after reviewing the history of detections of AVG, it turns out that this question of mine happened 2 months ago. I honestly forgot on this subject, and how I solved it, if I had nothing. I probably did the same thing I did to solve it.

So, it was a case of AVG returning a false positive. I feel much better now...

Sorry to waste your time.

ADDENDUM: I don't know whether to mark it as resolved. For now, I'll leave it as is, if it's OK.

  • Blocked .json file keeps all the files synchronization

    I have a json (required) file which prohibits OneDrive for business, for reasons not listed in the help. Help provide also no solution to this problem. The json file is needed and I can't remove it.

    His presence is causing a "synchronization error" which seems to prevent ANY synchronization. In essence, the entire system is "hooked" on this json file one whom he had met at the beginning of a synchronization, so NOTHING is synchronization because I can't find a way to erase or ignore this sync error. My options are 'close' (the sync error persists) or 'Help' (totally unnecessary).

  • My problem is a misuse of the proxy settings and I can't even remove it by editing the file pref.js. She just keeps restore use manual proxy settings.

    I had the trojan cycbot and removed. However my browser will not connect to the Internet, unless I don't manually select no proxy connection settings. then restart firefox, settings changed to a manual proxy.

    I think what you can do here is to go to Subject: config then in the filter at the top, enter each of these entries at a time, then right click on them and choose reset. This should restore their default values.

    So network.proxy.http_port should come back to '0' when you do this instead of its current value of 64586.

  • Cf11 Enterprise: Double "HTTP 100" keep causing the file download to fail

    For some strange reason, when our users try to upload files to our site running on Cold Fusion 11 to a large F5 IP put in place as a reverse web proxy, F5 newspapers displayed a double "HTTP 100 CONTINUE" response that causes the connection to remove.

    We run on an OS Windows 2008 R2 x 64 with Cold Fusion Enterprise update 11 9.

    There are 2 groups with 5 cases inside a hosting Web site and a single instance of backend running scheduled tasks.

    I tried a bunch of things on the side of the BONE and some stuff on the CF side including some connector settings, which none worked at all.

  • When adding 'pref ("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true)'; default prefs of the file "privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies" and "privacy.cpd.cookies" become false

    This is a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/ru/questions/970266. Created because of silence and the impossibility to change question category. The descripted situation is a * problem * a.

    The question is quite similar to http://support.mozilla.org/ru/questions/962042, but I * don't lock prefs *, so I don't use * mozilla.cfg*.

    I'm building installation preconfigured Firefox 23.0.1 under Win 7 64-bit by using the browser\defaults\preferences\prefs.js file. Yes, I know that it should be called all-* companyname * .js, but it works generally in my way too.

    As I wrote in subj, when I add the file prefs.js "pref ("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);" line, then lines "pref ("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", true)"; and "pref ("privacy.cpd.cookies", true);" stop working. If an execution on: config immediately after installation, it would see that the two latter options are passed to false and marked * bold * (changed by the user).

    I had tested it strongly: If a comment on 'pref ("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true)'; line other two preferences work very well. However if you add this cursed pref either higher or lower than code - no matter - it turn the other two preferences to * fake *.

    The question is where these strange side effects are documented? And how do a preconfigured installation possible both sanitize things and erase cookie at the end?

    Thanks in advance.

    The problem came from Firefox 4 +. Just add a new line:

    user_pref ("privacy.sanitize.migrateFx3Prefs", true);

    in your prefs.js or true value in: config. Then your Firefox does not automatically "privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies" and "privacy.cpd.cookies", false.

    Hope this will help.

  • Enterprise deployment - Firefox is more copy files prefs.js programs in the user on first start profile

    Deploy us through SCCM Firefox and have a custom Prefs.js file is used. Before Firefox version 24, Firefox used to copy the file prefs.js program Mozilla Firefox Firefox\defaults\profile to profile user at first startup of Firefox after installation. Version 24 is no longer that.

    This behavior occurs with Windows XP and Windows 7.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  • Installer of Muse continue to block the trial after payment

    Hi, I paid for muse and it keeps blocking the program with the message "trial has expired", running on mac Yosemite

    Hello

    Please check if the creative application of cloud is updated.

    If this is the case, open the Muse and look for an option of the application license; Sign in with your Adobe ID.

    If it still does not work, check the file hosts on the computer:

    (1) open the Finder

    2) press Cmd + SHIFT + G set

    (3) in the go to folder dialog box that appears, type:

    / etc

    4) press return and in the etc folder that opens, open the hosts file

    (5) check for all entries in the Adobe file

    (6) If you find all entries from Adobe, trash the file and then empty the trash; then launch Muse

    Hope that helps,

  • When ss12 download on social media sites it caches the file locally and, if so, where is it?

    I downloaded some videos on Vimeo, but I also want to keep the file made locally; However, I can't find out where it could be if a copy is kept locally.  I looked in the directory "C:\Users\Rich\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files" and do not see it there.

    Somewhere this file must exist, at least until the download is complete, and then maybe it is deleted first.  I don't want to wait and download the file from Vimeo because they monkey with the video before they post it.

    Thanks in advance for any wisdom.

    Rich

    Rich,

    When using the method of direct download, the only file that exists is on Vimeo, FaceBook, etc...

    Instead of making direct download, instead use Publish + share to create an output file, with the specifications. It must, then download it manually on the social media site - giving you this file on your computer, as well. This method also allows to work around some limitations of the direct method, for example file duration extended accounts.

    Good luck and hope that helps.

  • How to change default destination for the files to be imported?

    How can I tell LR to import to a new destination disk? I found a similar issue for LR 3 a couple of years, that says in the import dialog box choose the destination. This doesn't seem to be there now. In any case, I want LR to import into the new destination all the time, not only as a one-off. My HD is full and I can't keep moving the files manually. Thanks for any help!

    You can change the import (copy, move, add...) path at the top of the import dialog box.  When "Add", the destination panle is hidden, because it means that you come to 'Add' descriptions of the photos to the catalog and do not touch the pictures.

  • Size of the file - best practices

    I am putting together my first iPad app DPS and looking for a few tips to keep the manageable file size.

    I did a quick project about 6 pages and it came as a huge 28 MB. My document end will be about 100 pages (x 2 for directions)

    I really did nothing to try to reduce the size of the files in the project, I used PSD images with layers and not a not resize to 1024 x 768. Same thing with any jpg I used. I should do? Also, I did not bother to check if the image was CMYK or RGB. Basicially, I was working on the assumption that the images would be optimized in the process.

    I created the files using JPG because I wanted to use the content viewer Desktop and I get PDF's will help with the size of the file. But that will make a big difference?

    Is the largest part of this DPS overload just 28Mo or will it increase proportionally I've added pages?

    You are looking for just best practices.

    Thank you

    Brian

    A few tips:

    (1) we will be re-sample images to the right size, so don't worry if your sourc eimages are bigger they must do.

    2) publish as PDF. This will make a big difference if you have a lot of text content.

    (3) not to publish two orientations. While we do support the feature, this means you have to do twice the work of layout and the size of the file is quite a bit larger. Choose an orientation that works best for your content, and stick with that. The vast majority of our publishers only portrait or landscape, not both.
