EU binkiland malware removed, now on my Web site opens another window

New laptop with windows 8.1 when downloading one of the software programs I need, had a few malware. Binkiland was one of them, another I don't remember name of. Got the two removed after several hours. the binkiland went to the register, everywhere in my pc and in: config in firefox.

At random, it seems to happen that, while on a website, a window will open up with advertising stuff on it. I see it happen today to my own Web site, which has zero advertising on it. I pressed my links on this site and a tab open with advertising "Kelly Blue Book".

In general, I find that windows 8.1 seems not as robust for malware / attacks on windows 7. I can't believe how crap got installed on this new PC, which never happened in my 35 years of establishment of personal computers. Well, having needed to vent a bit, Google Chrome got also installed after the installation of FireFox, and for sure I look at these screens and set the options. I think that Avast is probably doing this, don't ever saw this option appear so I could uncheck it.

I looked for the addons of Firefox, the only thing it is Avast.

Appreciate your help.

Thank you

You can start with some additional scanners, because everyone tends to find different things. Our technical support article lists the tools that other Firefox users have found useful: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These are free and take a long time to run. If they seem to end quickly, especially if they require the payment you can have a more serious infection. Specialized forums listed in the article would be the next stop in this case.

If the links are being diverted, an extension is the prime suspect. An extension with hiding capabilities, you can visit the Add-ons page once again mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

All new extensions? Any change in behavior?

Links can also be hijacked by a proxy or if your DNS settings have been hacked. To check the settings of Firefox, you can use:

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

The default value of "Use system proxy settings" piggybacks on your LAN-Windows/IE setting, but you can also try 'no proxy '.

  • How do you see your bookmarks if you have a Web site open?

    It doesn't seem to be any drop-down menu or the button to display your bookmarks while you are browsing Web sites. I have to close all the tabs, and then there is a bar at the top that says bookmark. It is not very practical when you're in the middle of the navigation. I tried to leave a tab open to just my favorites and other tabs to my bookmark tab open, but when I go back to my bookmark tab, it is all reset and I have to start all over again drill down bookmark files. Yet once, is not useful at all. Is there an easier way to access my favorites while having Web sites open?

    To check the bookmarks that you do not have to close tabs. Type right on the address bar or open a new tab and tap on the Bookmarks panel.

    There is no drop-down menu or list button to display the bookmarks. The reason for this is to simplify / unify UI keep lightweight browser as mobile devices generally have fewer resources and space on the screen compared to desktop computers.

  • Make Web sites open to my screen size 17 inches.

    My problem is I want Web sites to open to the size of my screen 17 "but with my list toolbars. I was able to accomplish this by "output file" to save the settings to open some sites like previously expanded. However, this moment is no longer works for some sites so now I have a few sites (my hope of course page) opening small and other opening too large. How to restore consistency to the size of the page and use the pages to complete my screen 17 "without having to constantly adjust the size?

    In case you use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' or otherwise to clear the history.

  • When I start Firefox, no Web site opens. He says that's not available. Internet Explore works on web sites. I deleted and reloaded Mozilla and it did not help.

    It started about 2 weeks ago. The homepage is Cox and he said initially that the web site was being repaired. Now whe Mozzilla is open, a message appears that the site is uavailable. By clicking all bookmarks results in the same message. The message appears immediately after the button enter is pushed.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Mike,

    Most of those you can leave empty. The only things you really need is the name of the web site that you want to monitor (hostname) port (80) and path (/). In fact, the last two should already be defined, so you should not need to modify the default values. Method must already be on the HEAD, which is what you want. You can also do 'GET' - it shouldn't really matter.

    One time set up, return to your page monitoring platform, and you should see your new HTTP service listed on the left.

    And that's all...

  • Web site opens in a new window but has no scroll bar

    Hello
    I am a new user, so I'm not yet fully aware of the use of Firefox.

    I use http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ site several times a day. The site is in general more often perfectly OK, but one of the links I use all the time doesn't behave in a usable way. The link on the home page is:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/market_data/ticker/markets/default.stm, which opens in a new window without scroll bars. Can I relative to the size of the window, but not enough to display the entire contents.

    If I use the address of the link in a new tab, everything works fine and the scroll bars are present.

    I'm migrating from the Opera browser and opera, when I use the embedded link, it opens a new window, but it has the current scroll bars.

    Is this a Firefox problem, or maybe the site is at the origin of this problem - I could not guess who.

    BTW, the website of the BBC is based, and for users not UK, it can be used completely different pages.

    I looked through a bunch of FF options, but so far have not found anything that could be applied to the problem.

    IMO, this website is too small size of popup windows setting, don't leave enough room for the content of the page when the viewer zoom in the page.

    You can disable this feature this preference by typing about: config.

    DOM.disable_window_move_resize

    Double-click this preference to activate to true.

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config

    Change dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars true will replace Web site to hide scroll bars.

    I love Firefox, but this problem frustrates me. I want to access a favorite site and have bookmarked. When I click this bookmark, the site opens in a sidebar! How can I open in the window of the tab complete?

    You can change the properties of the bookmark for this problem.

    If you right click and choose Properties, you will check a box to the bottom of the dialog box that opens the bookmark in the sidebar. Uncheck the box that and click Save.

    You say you "decided", and that presents all kinds of opportunities for
    my mind. If AVG had been installed and working, he would have found the
    Malware before you decide anything. If you used another
    before anti-virus program? What was it? Did you just install AVG?

    Did you leave the previous anti-virus in place program? Do you have
    two programs antivirus running? Which should never be done and could
    be the cause of your problems.

    He deleted a few things.

    Exactly what were these "few things"?

    I agree with you :)
    What are these things?
    and check if you do not have 2 antivirus or more...

  • Latest version of Firefox (version 32) cannot access web sites. Using Windows 8.1 compatibility issues?

    Firefox will automatically update to the latest version which is now the 32 version. I get the following error message: "Firefox can't find the server at us.data.toolbar.yahoo.com"preceded by "Sever not found" what is happening on any site web I'm trying to access. Reload version 31 Firefox works fine, but then it will be updated again.

    Windows 8.1 is my operating system.

    The latest version is 31.0 Firefox as the only way you would be updated to the current Beta build, which is Firefox 32.0b2 (b2 = Beta 2 as you can say six to 12 beta) build is if you were on the beta channel because of you install a beta version and that he continued to use it since. If you have installed the Firefox 31.0 is upgrade to 32.0b2 then the 31.0 you have installed is a Beta version (make sure the name of the file has not had to say 31.0b# because there were nine of betas) and not the Firefox 31.0 release say mozilla.org or https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

    The typical reason for a new version (Windows) being not not able to connect after a new major version of Firefox update or install is usually due to a software firewall does not block the new .exe but it can stll have the previous version allowed.
