• Firefox hijacked on various websites (for most games facebook and such but others too) at random times.

  I'll be on a site and suddenly it will redirect to another site. This can happen at any time, sometimes as soon as a window, sometimes the window can be opened for a period of time before it happened or may not happen at all. It doesn't have any link to this site I am on (the same site can immediately redirect once and not an hour of the next). I can always use the back browser button to return to the original site. About 75% of the time in this case, I find myself on a login page Facebook and when I come back I see the original redirect went to some Facebook game/meetings/or some of these sites, none of which I have never used. I do not have Facebook but I do nothing on it except go to my wall to see photos and messages from my family (5 ' friends'). I've never even posted a comment. The other 20% of the time, he goes to various sites like surveys, supports your vet.org, or those with letters and numbers just randomly.
  Regarding the question "It happened" that follows I often 3-5 windows open at a time and it will happen 20 or 30 times less than an hour 4 window.
  I tried Internet Explorer and Google Chrome since it started, and this has not affected one of them. I even tried to run each at the same time as Firefox and they are kept, while Firefox pages were diverted.

  Hi mha007, I ran Firefox 2 days in mode 'safe' with no redirects, then 2 days normal running with no redirects, so the problem seems to be resolved. I ran RogueKiller so I guess he must have eliminated some maleware was the origin of the problem. Thank you for your help.

• only in firefox browser hijacker

  Just upgrade to the latest version of Firefox a few days ago. Found advertisements popping up throughout the tabs, sites, all sites visited. This does not work with all browsers on the same system, only Firefox. I tried several different companies without result removal tools. The last of them tried was malwarebytes that seemed to clean properly. I pulled the top of firefox that prompted reports of malwarebytes. It seems that the hijacking is firefox.exe. Is this possible? I also uninstalled and deleted firefox to my system twice. How can I get rid of this cursed hijack? If it won't be easy, I am prepared to format/reinstall the whole system like going to another browser if necessary permanently.
  I added a picture of one of the STE stuck, but others get through, deporting more tabs and multiple windows of Firefox.

  ^: a weird update channel displayed your data: release-cck-mozilla50

  Did you install Firefox from the Mozilla Server?

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox, but make sure you do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  If you keep the problems, and then create a new profile.

• Adware has hijacked Firefox can't find it in extension, or programs. It is Dejvu IE 6 all over again

  I did a cleaning with Adware remover, malwarebytes, Spybot search and destroy.
  Nothing I can find.
  I was infected by offer4u and malware of similar product that kept showing offers and other products when I was on a commercial Web site.

  EVEN this does not show anywhere, it was not in the programs. He moved somehow in hidden firefox.
  Even my firefox start page has been hijacked and the search for something I do not remember.

  All this has allowed out. But the other day I still have the Offer4u popup. I disabled it for always the have not seen since.

  Now, whenever I visit a site, it is redirected to this url.
  http://API.pitlap.info/v1/users/wMfSaZPIqrU=/tips.JSON?where_created=SG & api_key = da4b9237bacccdf19c0760cab7aec4a8359010b0 & secret = eb3e8ac05132bbaeb79f6e8eb53b67e753d79da3 & pr = 1 & bring_info = 0 & method = post & url = http://www.tienda.com/?affid=cj
  This is the exact url to tienda.com
  As you can see, when I visit a site, he's trying to reload this page with a particular reference id.

  I can't find it anywhere and nothing can remove it.
  His is a huge firefox security hole, I'm sure. So it is not detected as an adware.

  It is difficult to go yet as the reference ID and the URLS are false and he ends up redirecting to the home page.

  Yes, I know that I can reinstall firefox to a scratch, but it will be for all the extension back pain once again.

  How did become FIrefox like IE. It's dejavu. It seems the right time to spend in chrome.

  There seems to be no support or any person recognizing this question in the forums. It seems that no one is disturbed

  Have you checked your list of extensions Firefox Safe mode? This disables the ability of the extensions to hide in the page modules.

  Something custom in your connection settings? You can check here:

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

  The default value is "Use system proxy settings" (adopted IE settings); you could also try 'no proxy '.

  If you do not have an extension or a proxy, the cause, you may drain your Firefox program folder and reinstall Firefox. Note: do not uninstall Firefox or delete your settings, it's about the program folder.

  Clean reinstall it

  The process is: rename the program folder, and then reinstall Firefox. In this process, the installer of Firefox should recognize and automatically connect with your existing profiles.

  (Still, it may be a good idea to make a backup. This article offers suggestions: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles Firefox.)

  You can download the installer for Firefox 27.0.1 here:

  https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/ (scroll down to your language)

  Then, after the release of Firefox, rename the folder

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  something like

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  Then run the installation program.

  Any improvement?

  Note that some plugins and extensions installed in the program folder. You can check out them later if you discover their lack, but to minimize contamination, please not bulk copy these files.

  Regarding the opening of a new topic, you can always start a new question by using the "Ask a Question" at the top of the page.

  It's demand to have the strongest anti-malware built into Firefox? Currently, the phishing and malware protection is limited to what Google is willing to offer and it offers not the same list for users of Firefox to Chrome users. Further, Mozilla plans to add more services to the browser. The question is if something is better free or that he would need to be a paid service, in this case, use commercial antivirus software could be better than to have a Firefox solution only.

• Hijacked conduit Firefox search; Topic: Config disabled

  A new version of driving has hijacked my FireFox browser, among other things. Everytime I open a new tab, he returned to leads rather than my default to Google search engine. Any mistake of typing in a url sent me to bing via ducts. I used to be able to get in: config and solve these problems, but now, any attempt to do that simply sends me to bing. It is a horrible mess and continues to be, and FF users should block these redemptions of conduit.

  The "entrusted11" addon pretends to uninstall. The FF restarts, he was always there. In the meantime, I ran scan of Hitman Pro. It found and fixed several things led the others missed, as well as known malware. After a reboot of the machine, the Entrusted11 addon uninstall for real.

  Another problem: FireFox has been configured to use a proxy. I put that back to no proxy and redirects it to Bing went.

  Search for Reset the extension installed and ran, but something (popup of an icon in the bar of tasks or FF addon - they are close together and he quickly disappeared) blocked changes to the configuration of the home page. Reset manually under this kind of things: Tools-> Options-> general.

  Right-click on the icon of checkerboard newtab grew up the usual context menu for offline right click on web pages, without option to reset anything, BUT after using Hitman Pro and the reboot of the machine, this problem has cleared up.

  Internet Explorer is still hijacked, how Hitman Pro has not resolved all the problems on this machine. I want to use Firefox some time before calling this post solved.

  How can I get rid of all that have hijacked my homepage in Firefox 12 and replaced by a login page "Bank of America"? I have reset my home page in Options, but it does not help. I suspect that there is an entry of thugs in my Windows Vista registry. I tried to get rid of it with several antivirus programs, including MS Security Essentials, Avast, Spyware Doctor and Malwarebytes, but none removed the offending attacker. Help would be appreciated.

• Love Mozilla, but my firefox home page is hijacked by Web-Safe, superior-research, research-Global, how to remove?

  I tried several times to get rid of this = Web-Safe, superior-research, research-Global, which is taking over my beloved Firefox homepage. I also use Thunderbird as my email service. I'm in Windows 8. None of the safe, senior or global names appear in my list of installed programs. I tried the 'reveal' function & still do not see it. When I zap it with Malwarebytes, it disappears, but returns when I have to restart the computer. Refresing the Firefox homepage also has same result. Help? I have 3 teenage kids who have probably inadvertently downloaded this nuisance.

• How can I remove hao123 homepage hijack without resetting Firefox?

  I've seen a few posts on hao123 but nothing works. To clarify, I don't have the tools/software toolbar on my computer (at least according to the control panel) and I uninstalled WeChat of Tencent in the case which was the cause. However, I always get the diversion of hao123.

  I also ran MalwareBytes and RogueKiller and deleted a bunch of results, but it solves for a little while before the problem returns.

  The only thing I have not tried the reset is Firefox, but I would really like to avoid this if possible.

  My questions are:

  -Are there a way to get rid of him without resetting Firefox?

  -If not, is there a way in general?

  -If I have to reset Firefox, is there a way to save on my bookmarks/settings?

  Thank you!

  I think that I thought about it. Apparently the free anti-virus I used reported only recently begun to redirect the homepage of hao123. He has not done this when I started using it.

  I uninstalled it and the problem seems to have disappeared. I'll leave this open until tomorrow to check that it is not.

• Have a hijacker horrible malware in my Firefox, anti-malware (all tested) got rid of him in other browsers, but not Firefox. Help? (Like Firefox better)

  Using a combo of Norton, Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Hitman Pro got rid of this malware villain in Internet Explorer and Opera (didn't really impact on opera a lot at first). He also screwed up Chrome but I just uninstalled Chrome, do not in any case. Firefox is my favorite, and now I feel paralyzed without that it works correctly. It is also a very bad malware, puts several ads on the pages that I know do not really have these ads. It opens several tabs will all sorts of sites that I don't know that the pirate gets money to send traffic to.

• Firefox download last hijacked by Yahoo

  Download Firefox Setup Stub 31.0 of today 5 August 14 is locked in Yahoo. Even using Google links in Yahoo and not to open the pages. This continues despite several downloads. Similarly there are a considerable number of advertising 'hooks' that dotted the text on your pages as on all other pages, and the browser is often diverted to Java, although not the site authentic and elsewhere. This makes your browser unusable. All suggestions welcome.

• all my browsers, including firefox, have been hijacked

  Hello. My new computer, under Windows 8, picked up the very annoying malware from 'search.nu' (also known as "search.qu"). All my browsers are affected. (Yes, I confess guilty to occasionally using browsers other than FF!) I see different suggested ways, both in Firefox and generally on the web, forum to rid their computer of this parasite viroids. But it seemed to make sense to me, before doing what was suggested, to go to the Windows Control Panel and use the procedure "uninstall the program. So my original question: how is it that no one mentions the uninstall as the logical first step process? I'm hesitant to try "Uninstall" when none of the experts seems to be to recommend it.

  I would appreciate greatly any illumination can provide members of the Firefox Forum.

  Hello patrickmc, djstsys and cor - el! Thank you all very much for your contribution. I would briefly like to ask about the developments - and what I fervently hope is fast and fun to solve the problem.

  First of all, in all honesty, I must admit that the villain of the piece, 'search.nu', at least with me, was more than a thief to shoplift as a serial killer. Yes, it I stopped to go to my home page and instead offered a white screen with just a search box - its own search box, of course. If I had been stupid enough to use this search engine, most likely some hair on the head or hair events would fell on me. But from the first moments I knew to ignore, and so my difficulties never amounted to more than one gene. And yet, even a simple annoyance should be eliminated if possible, don't you think?-especially when I'm feeling so affectionate and protective towards my computer brand new and want to keep it intact.

  Thus, the instructions very simple Firefox and Chrome, I deleted Search.nu as my home page, replacing Yahoo, as the fascist Search.nu leaves stage right, as he went to the area of research, potentially very mischievous Search.nu. I closed and reopened the two browsers several times, and it seems that this simple measure was sufficient.

  The reason why I didn't delete the whole program is that when I went to the Windows one uninstall program and began the process, it turned out that I had downloaded the wrong search.nu as unexpected and unwanted baggage with J - zip, a piece of software that I've used for years on my old computer - and love. Of course, I wanted to keep j - zip! So, at this time, I decided to try the above simple maneuver and eliminate the search.nu while retaining the j - zip.

  I know from reading online about search.nu that in the past it strenuously resisted eviction--you'd think that you'd killed it when suddenly it would spring up very much alive and bent on vengeance, like Glenn Close in the bathtub scene in  "Fatal Attraction"!!   But maybe all the terrible publicity over the past few years that search.nu has received (e.g. McAfee Siteadvisor puts up a big red X and obstructs access) has caused search.nu to mutate into a more benign form.  You know, in real life, viruses (biological, not computer, ones) often do exactly that--if they're too virulent, and kill off their hosts very quickly, they don't have time to replicate.  So the most successful biological viruses rapidly mutate into milder forms, making you just sick enough to cough and sneeze, etc. and spread them to others, and I think maybe search.nu, in allowing itself to be controlled so easily, has wisely done just that sort of mutating.
  

  In any case, patrickmc, djstsys, cor - el, I thank you once again, and it is great that, for all malicious elements on the internet such as search.nu or worse, there are still people like you three which combine altruism with knowledge and intelligence - and really benefit people like me!
