Computer starts pop ups

Almost 6 weeks ago a window began to appear during the first load of my computer. It's a black rectangular window marked taskeng.exe, but there is nothing in it. Almost immediately after that, a prompt appears that says "Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe".» Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. ' It opens at the beginning, until I typed or even clicked on anything yet.  When I click 'OK', it closes and my computer works normally, a little more slowly than usual. It does not appear to be a problem, but I don't know there could still be something wrong that I can't see or know something about.

Old Geek-ster, I contacted Comcast and they said that all I had to do was run a full scan, what I did.  The problem disappeared.

  • How can I remove pop ups look bad when I turn on my computer

    How can I remove pop ups look bad when I turn on my computer

    Hi Semone31,

    ·         What is the full pop-up message?

    ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest you perform the clean boot and check.

    Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

     

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned at step 7 of the article mentioned above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

     

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • We recently bought a new computer with windows 8, and now we get so many pop ups that you can hardly even search the web. How we solve this problem? Thanks, Fra

    need to get rid of these pop ups!

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.

    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

    Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    Hello

    I would like to inform you that Jucheck.exe is the process that runs automatically when the Java Update tool is activated. Jucheck.exe usually checks the Internet for the software updates available and invite you to install them to keep your updated program. If you prefer to search and download the Java updates manually whenever you want, disable Java Update automatic tool disables and removes Jucheck.exe

  • Keychain and pop ups issues

    I have a MacBook Air that I've owned for almost a year now that has recently started acting weird when I changed my password for apple. About 2 weeks after changing the password, I restarted my computer. After reboot of a pop - up showed on my screen, stating: "(talagent/Messages Agent/AddressBookSourceSync/CallHistoryPluginHelper/com.apple.iCloudHelper.xpc/ accountsd/cloudd/cloudpaird) wants to use the 'Local products' keychain." I thought he meant my password for my apple account so I typed it in, but it has not disappeared so I started typing the passwords that I used to have in the hope it would work. After every 4th attempt to type a pop password would disappear, but would be replaced by one with one of the labels above by asking my bunch of local elements. There is no way to get rid of these pop-ups, unless I type in the correct keys, they want that I can't think of anything it could be. It's just this continuous cycle of the pop ups. I can still use my laptop but pop ups becomes annoying, because they are always on the screen. Sometimes when I close my laptop it disappears when I open it again. Even if every time that I have I am facing the same problem start-stop-restart. I have been snooping through the apple support and found similar cases, so I tried by following their instructions. Based on what I found that told me to go to my Keychain Access and change the settings for login keychain.  I am able to open find it just from keychain access, but as soon as I get to this step the whole thing freezes and the loading cursor appears. Then I'm stuck waiting so that it loads but it never loads. I have waited for amounts long and of the return to my laptop always with a loading cursor. Basically I was not able to do anything to fix it. I also had problems with opening an iCloud/Internet account in my system preferences. As a result of this problem I couldn't open/use iMessage, FaceTime or the Mail app. I was able to use the Internet very well however all my saved passwords are gone, and no matter how many times I do save them now they not yet be registered. I know that the problem comes from my keychain, but I can't even fix since it became a frozen loading screen. If there is anyone that could help me please, it would be highly appreciated.

    Please make sure that you have a four digit iCloud verification code in your records before you follow the steps.

    If please go to go folder and Type ~/Library/Keychains and click go

    Right click on the first (Digital Alpha) folder and move it to the trash.

    Restart, empty the trash.

    All passwords will be deleted, open internet accounts - you must configure once more your i cloud email, web mail.

    Also in air port utility, you must enter the password for the base station once more.

    The reason to remove file digital alfa is as Local Keychain is corrupted and is display of pop-up when you open safari and it never goes away...

    I tried to remove all the content of key ring and was to have four numbers with me, all the passwords in my folder so all went well.

    We hope so it might help you.

    Thank you!
