Flash Player is spamming my computer with ads... How can I stop this?

How can I prevent the Flash Player I spammed with ads?   I uninstalled it but it persists.  Right-clicking the advertisement identifies the flash player and takes me to a page of settings.  Any ideas?

To be 100% accurate... Flash Player IS NOT do spamming.

You're infected with "adware" and it is in USING Flash Player to bombard you, but Flash Player is the only vehicle, NOT the culprit.

  • WE have 2 macbookpros 10.10.5 - we, recently turned to gmail.  Now, if remove us an email on a single computer - it is removed on both computers.  How can we stop this so that computers operate independently of each other?

    We have 2 macbookpros 10.10.5 - we recently changed to gmail.   now when my wife deletes an email on your Mac... that electronic mail is also deleted on my mac - and if I delete an email on the same account - remove the e-mail on his computer - we don't want that to happen - we want the actions on a computer to be independent of the actions on another computer.

    How can we stop this?

    My first recommendation is that each of you get your own e-mail account. They are free. If you decide not to do this, change to POP3 instead of IMAP Gmail settings. If you connect to Gmail via your browser, go to the settings, then transfer and POP/IMAP. Change to activate the POP protocol for all messages.

  • My computer sends messages to groups of people when I'm offline. How can I stop this?

    My computer is send emails to people when I'm offline. How can I stop this? It does same all night when I'm asleep and the computer is closed.

    How do you know it's your computer?

    If you think you will realize that it is impossible, so you need to find another explanation.

    In fact, the phenomenon is quite common. What is happening is that a computer is infested with malware that uses the address book on the computer to send messages infected to the names in the address book. So you have the bizarre situation that you can receive malware apparently from yourself. Take great care not to open any message to yourself you know that you did not send.

    The best thing you can do is to warn your friends about what is happening. Try to give them the object that is used in false infected mails. You may be able to identify which computer is infected. It depends on how many addresses in the address book of the infected computer. Eventually, the owner of the computer will be aware of the situation, the measures and messages will stop. Of course, at that time another computer can get infected and begins a new wave of infected mail.

    The simple tips that follow can help you or your friend (s) to stop the epidemic

  • My computer turns on once a week automatically during the night. How can I stop this from happening? Thanks Gunter

    Hello
    I bought a used desktop computer. After setting it up again to what I had before I find the computer comes on every Saturday night at the same time. How can I stop this from happening?
    If anyone has an answer for me please give him in singles and not "computer language".
    Thank you
    Gunter

    Your best course of action would be to do a complete new installation of Windows.  Not sure how this computer has been maintained or used.  She could have anything whatsoever thereon against malware of illegal material.

    Although the automatic turn on every Saturday night is probably trivial (for example, some application checking to see if there are updates), it could be malware "phone home" with your personal information (bank accounts, passwords, etc.).

    This TechNet article provided by 'Support' engineer is not likely to be useful for you.  For Windows XP (you posted your question in a Windows XP forum), open scheduled as follows:

    Click Start > click on all programs > point to Accessories > tap System Tools > and then click scheduled tasks.

    Review each of the tasks listed to determine what they are doing.  You can then decide if you want to remove one of them.  You should consider, however, that there may be other mechanisms that cause your computer turn on as you describe.

  • My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

    My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

    I can't block emails from myself, I sometimes need to send things, so I got them at a later date.

    I know that I can view the source of the message, but I just want to stop this garbage that runs through for me.

    Can anyone help?

    There is not really a way to do it.  Just like you cannot block spam from your mailbox home - anyone can send you mail and anyone can use a false address 'return' that makes it look like it came from you.

    In fact, it is incredibly easy (only 10 letters typed) to send an e-mail that looks like it comes President @ whitehouse.gov.  That's how spammers do, because there is no check on email (I wish the people who invented the email 40 years ago had thought of that), but it is not just.

    Step 2: If the problem is solved in SafeMode with networking, then I suggest to perform clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.
