Even though I have pop-ups blocked in Options - for some reason-recently-EVERY link I click on that gives me a popup! Help, please!

As mentioned in my question that just started happening recently. I click on a link in the email or on a website and I have pop-ups. They leave looking like firefox popups - but they are not. Some are for games - others give a list of web sites to search for the object that I clicked on. It is extremely annoying! What should I do to stop this?

It seems that your computer may be infected by some kind of virus / Malware.

I suggest the following resources:

My Firefox problem a result of Malware is an article from the Mozilla Support with some good advice to avoid and fight against malware.

To verify that your system is clean, perform the following steps (no official Mozilla tips, just good practices of personal experience)

Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

Download and launch TDSSKiller http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363

Download, install and run Microsoft Security Essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials (no not official approval, but I personally recommend MSE as a great permanent anti-virus)

Check all Windows updates.

  • ConcurrentHashMap obtain blocks of method for some reason any

    Hello

    The ConcurrentHashMap obtain blocks of method for some reason:
    -----
    private AbstractMap < String, SocketChannel > servers = new ConcurrentHashMap < String, SocketChannel > ();

    ' Public Sub sendPendingUser (UserPendingDTO dto, String serverId) {}
    [...]
    System.out.println ("Hello"); print hello
    SocketChannel ch = this.servers.get (serverId); <- BLOCKS
    System.out.println ("World"); never printed
    [...]
    }
    -----
    The method is called is called by an executable inside the class:
    -----
    final executable checkPendingUsersInDB = new Runnable() {}
    public void run() {}
    [...]
    sendPendingUser (dto, serverId);
    }
    };
    final ScheduledFuture <>? checkPendingUsersInDBHandle =
    scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate (checkPendingUsersInDB, 1, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    -----
    If the sendPendingUser method is called by another thread (a Runnable) but I thought that it would not be a problem because I use a ConcurrentHashMap.
    * If I'm trying to replace this.servers.get (serverId); by this.sockets.get (test); I get the same error. This.Sockets is an another class in the same ConcurrentHashMap. Therefore, it is not specific to the servers map.*
    Thanks for any help.

    I doubt that it is a bug in the JAVA virtual machine. I also doubt that the code really "blocks" on this line, since a get() on a ConcurrentHashMap does not lock. You debug your code to make sure that it blocks actually on this line?

    It is difficult to say what may be the problem without seeing the rest of the code. It might be possible that this serverId is null, which would cause a NullPointerException in your task. You would never see this exception, because it is "swallowed" by the FutureTask, which cancels the task as a result of any Throwable.

    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

    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.

  • For about seven months I have pop ups and tabs for the opening of their own, ask me questions and show me what I'm asking to be included.

    For about seven months now (as of June 2013) I have pop ups ask me a question private while hiding themselves, according to the results of my browsing. They are sometimes streaming 'news' and other stuff that I didn't ask for. It can also be tabs and not pop ups, which do the same thing. First I thought it was nice of 'infection', but all my screenings failed to detect anything by responding that my computer is clean. I have considered changing the browser, but my computer is low and lightweight browser, differently from one of Microsoft. So now I close just these things as quickly as possible. But, sometimes, when I walk, it shows all "movies" to anyone, while that losing my resources and quotas.

    I wonder if it is possible to get rid of this stuff. Is - this infection or part of the drawing or model? And where there is an "infection", is someone interested in studying in order to protect your browser against similar attacks in the future?

    Your "more details of the system" does not include any information about your extensions, but one who might be responsible.

    Could check you extensions not recognized on the page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt that something is valid and useful, turn it off.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Did that change the behavior of Firefox?

    My Windows Solitaire Collection challenges abruptly stopped connected to the internet, even though I have an excellent signal with all the bars.  It is also important to me to play Wordament.  I tried the troubleshooting, but that did not help.
    Thank you

    I ran this app above and that seemed to help to the function "store".  I still could not connect that I was getting the same error message, cannot connect to Xbox.  I rebooted and went from Microsoft Solitaire app rather than the icon section and it seemed to work... until now.

    I hope this helps me now and good luck to anyone else having this problem.  Try this link it seems to release something, but it works now.

  • Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to the internet even though I have full WiFi access.

    Original title: Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to internet even though I have full WiFi access-problem occurred just after working fine for over a year

    Uses Windows 8.1 for over a year with no access to the internet.  Today, I can access is no longer the internet using Explorer, Mozilla Fire Fox or store apps.  (Tried to install a game just to test the internet connection-no luck).  When I try to connect the computer just sits there with the indicator connection just spin but never passes through.  I have good indicated WiFi (Internet) access.  While they inspected the updates, the only thing that appears on the current date is some Microsoft Silverlight is.  Could that that may cause my problem?  I didn't do any changes and have no problem until today.  I'm not always well informed in this area and I am at a total loss as to how to proceed, what to check... hope someone can advise me.   Thank you, DebbieG211

    Hi Debbie,.

    You might face this problem because of wrong settings in Internet Explorer. You mentioned that you get the update of windows Microsoft Silverlight, so we can deduce that there is a problem with the Internet browser. Please write us with the following details.

    (1) do you get error messages when all websites fail to load?

    (2) what is the brand and model of your computer?

  • I get the blue screen in the LR development mode, even though I have updated the driver for the graphics card on this new laptop. It's an AMD Radeon R5 M335 4 GB memory DDR3, core i7 6th gen processor. What should do?

    This Eizo has a normal resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. I expect not to see a lot of benefits of using the GPU. You really see the advantage to screens that are at least 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) or more. On small screens, you can see some benefits with smoother updates if you ONLY use the base sliders to develop. If you use brushes, turning on the GPU can actually slow you down a bit. In most cases, loading images in develop is also slower when you activated! There are a few illustrative notes to an engineer from Adobe that you can read here: notes for Lightroom CC GPU (2015) in order to better understand what is happening. Currently, in most cases, I recommend leaving off the coast. I think that Adobe is trying to improve and have more cards supported, but it is not yet completely there.
