Every Web site I try to go to (such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. which are safe) says that site is dangerous and that I must accept the certificate).
Yesterday my Firefox seemed to spasm and I think I got a virus (whenever I hit the 'home' button which is google.com for me, send me to this weird website I knew wasn't sure). I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and ran the virus scanners, but nothing was found. After restarting Firefox, every Web site I try to go to gives me a dangerous error and I have to give each site a security exception, even for safe sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.. Once I got on Facebook, everything is in HTML format and I can't use it at all, I tried Firefox reboot/uninstall/reactivate once again, but nothing helped. I checked my firewall and nothing came. Here is the data according to the troubleshooting information.

I hope you can understand something I like Firefox, but it's very frustrating that I can't use it and that it happens. I also use Avast! Anti-SECURITE but I'm fairly certain that has no effect on this problem. As I said I also ran malware and virus scanners but nothing came harmful.
Hello
Try to disable the Avast web shield and try to go on some safe sites where you met the "untrusted connection". You can also follow this link for the other common troubleshooting steps: error "this connection is untrusted" message - what to do.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Microsoft safety scanner
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
If your home page has been changed, and you do not have the suspicious extensions:
- Tools (or
) > Addons > Extensions
You can use the Search to reset tool to reset your home page, the new tab page and search bar default back. The extension to uninstall then once that these preferences are reset.
Let us know if that helps.

Original title: iTunes Question
I recently bought a new Windows 7 laptop and downloaded iTunes. I have hundreds of songs already purchased and need to download on this computer... when I access my account and then click on download, I get a message that says that I must allow the computer. Any suggestions on what to do?
Thank you!
You can check with Apple because they created iTunes. Check the Apple Web site, I found the following FAQ on what you need to do to allow a new device:
- Open iTunes
- From the Store menu, choose authorize this computer.
- When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, and then click allow.
Note: if you already allowed iTunes to another PC and that you no longer use this computer, you should have allowed him out before getting rid of it. If you don't do this, you might consider off allowing all devices first, then allowing the new PC.

In trying to gain access to the application for a certificate of birth on the site Web of Service Canada, they advised me to download adobe reader, I finished. However, recommended site then I had to start reader & accept end user license. It was not part of the download, appears I missed this step. Impossible to find where to accept them & when I tried to re download advised already loaded.
Please tell us how to complete the acceptance of license, if I can use the product. Thank you.

Jerky mouse mouseover function for all while the menu (file, options, help) and the key back/forward/home too. More scrolling is choppy every Web site since the update to version 3.6 to 4 RC1.
Gel mouse pointer when it comes across objects that use some sort of animation or gradual highlighting when hovering on (which is basically all the Firefox 4 items menu, tabs, etc.) But also a lot of things on the Web pages as the green buttons on this page that change color when you hover over them).
After rebooting my system, however, the problem seems to have disappeared!

How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?
This just started happening the last two days. I tried to add the url to my list to activate in Internet Options, also to accept the list for windows firewall. I rebooted and restored.
It is annoying when I can't access Web sites on my PC. There is no control parenting, nor is it a reason to be since I'm 57 years old, single, live alone and have no children, and not to mention that this isn't a single adult site. This is an auction site. The same thing happens on a site of sports too.
Hello
Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.
I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.
1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
2. what version of Internet Explore do you use?
3 have there been recent changes to the computer before the show?
Please go ahead and follow the steps mentioned and later a update on the State of the question.
Method 1: Start Internet explorer with the mode without modules and check.
Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, and click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
If the problem does not persist in Internet Explorer (No Add-ons), then it is one of the Add-ons at the origin of this problem. Please follow the steps below to locate the problem the weak module:
a. restart IE normally.
b. click on tools.
c. click on Manage Add-ons.
d. disable add-ons by clicking on them one at a time to highlight and then click Disable.
e. reactivate modules one by one and check with what add-on, you get this error message.
f. turn off the add-on at the origin of the problem.
For your reference: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Internet-Explorer-Add-ons-frequently-asked-questions
(For Windows Vista)
Method 2: How to optimize Internet Explorer:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213/no
Important: Reset Internet Explorer to its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.
Follow these recommended steps and after if you still experience the problem.

Good day Forum of Support Hp
I need your help...
I visited Hp Web site for drivers and I found many, if you please I will install all the drivers that I've seen out there?
Thanks to you all.You should check whether the installation file downloaded is for the device you have - of Device Manager.
Chipset depends on what processor you have.
Utility Intel chipset needs, etc. management interface.
AMD needs AMD graphics driverIf yours is a switchable graphics system (you will be able to note the two devices in the section display adapter in Device Manager), you must install the discreet dedicated graphics driver & it integrated one (in the case of Intel being integrated) - from the download page.
Rest you can download and try.
