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.

  • When I open Skydrive on my RT Surface, it downloads everything to the cloud every time?

    When I open Skydrive on my RT Surface, it downloads everything to the cloud every time?

    Who should use a lot of my download allowance if I had several hundred files stored in the cloud.

    I noticed that Skydrive shows no indication that if the wireless router is disconnected, he said I just need a connection, but it shows what I have in the cloud when there is an internet connection, so it shows when it is connected is obviously not data from a local file, it must be downloaded. It could be expensive if I exceed my download allowance.

    No, it's show what is stored in the repository online and the items are downloaded only as they are open then written amendment. This differs from the desktop version where the online store is a mirror of what is local, but even in this case the application writes only changes not the whole store.

    If you look at your user profile on the RT under the username he has no record of Skydrive. With the application installed on a desktop PC there is a Skydrive folder in your user profile

  • Help! Dreamweaver keeps automatically 'putting' my model on the server every time that I save it.

    For some reason, Dreamweaver retains automatically 'putting' my model on the server every time that I save it, replacing the model that was originally there and I don't know why. It is never used to do this, and all my other sites work fine and do not have this problem... I don't want that to keep overwrite files I have on the server... does anyone know how to stop him from doing this you? I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give.

    If it helps, I'm using CS4.

    Thank you

    Catherine.

    Ok.  It looks like an incomplete installation.  Nevertheless, DW think that you have a local test server.  Every time that you save the files, he put copies in your C:\Users\Catherine\Pictures\tailormadeart folder.

    Except if you create dynamic web sites that use databases and scripts server side, you don't need a test in DW server.  All you need is a Local site and your remote server.

    For static HTML sites, I recommend you remove or clear the definition of testing server.  See screenshot.

  • Several processes that are running on the standard user account because it runs slow and internet does not "."

    Create a user profile for children on PC 32-bit W7 with MS Family Safety.

    Recently they have complained he "runs slow and internet does not work.

    After playing for a little, I realized a ton of processes were running in the background. I couldn't run msconfig to their profile (not administrator) and after some research, I even if the profile has been corrupted.

    I created a new profile, but now the same thing is happening a few days later.

    See below; multiple copies of the same process are running. This happens within 2 m after the log-in and I only started one program.

    I started in safe mode with network and ran Windows defender, Spybot S & D and my virus scanner (all full scans) and turned up nothing malicious.  A few cookies tracking in the web cache, but nothing out of the ordinary.  I searched for the files wlaacmgr.exe and dplaysvr.exe (b/c they do not appear running in my admin profile) but they were found only in windows OS directories.  I understand that they are files of W7 but some maleware recreates.

    Many of them are the same files taking up process on the old profile that I deleted.

    Any help or suggestion as to why I have multiple copies of large processes running on the machine?  As I wrote it, I sign in, seems to be fine for one but 2 minutes a lot of process appear repeatedly and slows down the computer to a crawl.

    These two files listed are not at all on my admin profile and the machine works fine in my admin profile.  Even with open Photoshop, the CPU is only about 50% under my profile.

    Try to check/change the entries in startup with Autoruns from Sysinternals, which should work on the limited account to see its startup items.

    Hello topblanchflower, you can try to run a Windows Restore Point, date back to the time before this problem arose.

    To do this, go to the start ORB, all programs, accessories, System Tools, System Restore.

    Click Restore and system in a short period of time, a window will open that shows a restore point. Look in the lower left corner, then check the box to show more restore points and select one before the Popup began.

    The system reboot and return to the office and advisor than the Windows Restore Point has been successful or not successful.

    Sometimes malware such as this will be disable and remove all Windows Restore Points to prevent the user to rid the system of the malware.

    Hello

    -Were there any changes made on the computer before the show.

    This issue seems to be with Flash player. I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

    Method 1:

    To help resolve the error message, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 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.

    Please note: After troubleshooting, be sure to start your computer in normal mode by following step 7.

    Method 2:

  • The fonts are pixelated, blurry, difficult to read and I do not have IT cleartype

    I have an acer x203h of two monitors and a 17-inch dell monitor. Acer uses firefox and chrome the dell. I repeat that my cleartype is enabled. Firefox does not make the page correctly most of the time and then just turn pixelated, blurry, difficult to read, etc. Top page down helps sometimes travel sometimes do not. I move firefox to the monitor dell and it rasterizes less but still doesn't work. Chrome isn't Pixelize on each monitor, but it seems a little fuzzy. I've only use it for windows updates.
