Can't get rid of the selection of ads...

It makes me crazy.

  I have tried every suggestion from what seems like everywhere to remove this pesky thing...but still it remains.  From uninstalling it from Control Panel (it's not there) ...uninstalling it from Add-ons/Plug-ins/Extensions (not showing there either) ...to using Bit Defender...Malwarebytes...and now (finally) Spy Hunter 4.  Have also  tried resetting Firefox to default.  Absolutely nothing works.  Is this programme now resilient to every attempt to remove it?
  (Windows 7)

It seems that Adblock Plus took Cory... .am 'cautiously optimistic '!
. From point of view of a layman, both of these intrusive programs appear not in the Panel, or as an add-on/extension etc.

  What a shame they can't be prosecuted under international law...
  Thank you so much for your help

    Since there is a few days, almost all of the web sites I visit, once the page opens, another screen opens with firefox asking to allow another site open. It's an advertisement of some sort that I opened 1 or 2 to check. I was on a site with a catalog with pages multiply to pass by and every time I hit the next page, another pops up. I checked the check box options for stop pop up's, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • Can we get rid of the eye on the front page? Me slide out!

    Filled with the sign the petition for INTERNET security. Now I can't get rid of the eye on the front page. I want to get rid of because I've already signed. The eye slips out, can it be done away now?

    I am in the United Kingdom and do not see it, but I doubt that Mozilla put there. However I see you are using a theme, then in the case which is originally he Try Firefox Safe Mode see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start mode safe" - does NOT REFRESH!

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If it goes further, remove the theme and if you need to reset the homepage, please see my initial response.

    By the way, you should be able to see the homepage at any time by typing on: House in the address bar and pressing ENTER.

  • How can I get rid of the icon "junk" on a message when it was put there by mistake?

    I converted a few perfectly legitimate "junk" in error messages, click the "junk" that is in the same row of answer-transmit-Archives-Junk-delete below of the top window in which information on each e-mail is displayed line by line in any other file (Inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) has been selected.

    It's easy, of course, to move these back to my Inbox, which is where I wanted them, but now they have bright orange "junk" icons displayed to the left of the Date. That in itself bothers me not specifically, but I'm bothered by the action of these icons should represent. namely, that I have "educated" Thunderbird to recognize emails from these sources as junk and start to divert the messages from these sources in the junk e-mail folder. I certainly don't want that to happen, but the undesirable feature seems otherwise good, so I don't want to turn it off, either. How can I get rid of the unnecessary icons on emails marked as spam accidentally? And reverse the "undesirable character" of a message by surgery will remove the Thunderbird learning process?

    Thank you for helping.

    There are several ways. The two easiest are click on the Junk icon to turn off or click with the right button on the message and select Mart As - Not Junk.

  • How can I get rid of the webshoppy pop ups

    How can I get rid of the pop up webshoppy?

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

    Hello
