FoxTab PDF Converter software malicious?

I downloaded this apparently useful free software, the other day, after having briefly checked as a product of Firefox. It displays a printer error message while loading, as well as the inability to access pages on its website. I Googled it and fell on the warnings it as malware and difficult to remove.

I ran my McAfee which gives my computer a certificate of good health.

What should I do?

You don't specify what antivirus program used to a profound analysis. To get a second opinion I suggest use Malwarebytes Antimalware (free edition) or ESET Online Scanner.

Also delete your temporary Internet files (Control Panel > Internet Options (general tab) Browsing History-Delete and empty trash after deleting the setupfile for Fox tab.)

I hope this helps.

  • Foxtab PDF Converter exists, it is malware?

    Heard on an add-on Firefox called Foxtab PDF Converter, google, got four hits in saying it as malware and pervasive (as for uninstalling it.) It is supposed to convert any file that can be printed to PDF, which resembles a very handy add-on. Everyone uses it, or the scares are based in reality?

    FoxTab PDF Converter is not an Add on Firefox. I can only find messages, blog and forum questions that indicate there may be malware but nothing definitive. If you need a tool to create PDF files, there is a certain established free apps out there like (in no particular order):

  • Conflict of blackBerry Smartphones PDF converter

    Someone had a problem with a synchronization failed due to a software conflict with a PDF converter that is installed on the same computer as the Blackberry Desktop Manager? I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 9 on the laptop that I use with BDM and now an error message whenever I try to sync the device (Nextel Blackberry 7520) with mobile (Outlook 2003). Nextel says that their phone/software is not compatible with PDF converter software (?). The most popular PDA is incompatible with the most popular PDF converter software?

    I use Acrobat with BlackBerry desktop manager, but don't not to deal with this issue. Better, you uninstall DM and install again.

  • Shared 64-bit Adobe PDF Converter, the error "Invalid Handle". (The 32-bit computer print request)

    I have at my disposal a Windows 7, 64-bit, laptop and a Windows Server 2008, 32-bit.

    My suite Adobe CC is installed on the laptop, but the server needs to stay as stripped down as possible.

    There are help files built into some software (on the server) I want to convert to PDF format rather than print them. As with many printers, I thought that I could share the PDF driver installed by Acrobat Pro software, and then just send the coil on the server. I fell initially on missing driver problems, so I google a solution where there are additional drivers contained in program files (x 86). However, there were several enigmatic named "* .inf" any files that showed up some certificates of 6 driver that all had the same name. Talk about directions being useless, even if they were right. In all cases, the first installation of the driver came with promising results, but no final file. I thought I could just update the shared, 32-bit driver, but will understand that the option to refresh the secondary driver was not found. The recognized common dialogue clearly, I installed one, but an option to update or manual removal is not provided.

    I'm at a point where I'd like Adobe to just show me some love and throw the 32-bit Setup program Adobe PDF Converter that would have been incorporated into earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat. If anyone could lead me in the right direction to solve my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Acrobat is not approved for use on the server. If you can print PostScript on the server, you can take the postscript file and distill them on your version of Distiller.

    any ideas on how to remove the software malicious zebrouss?

    This thing I replaces my setting of search in safari - can get rid of it - don't know who got it

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

    Hello

    I want to create an application of PDF Viewer so I m using the pdf converter API but I think that its not supporting on blackberry.

    Some RIM IIRC applications support this and RIM has probably transcoders available PDF but I tried this in a field of browser and there is no

    Server solutions based in this mess - consider same SVG page by page can be better, but then again I would

    transcoders based on the server into something the phone includes more introvert.

    I have utilities to extract PDF files as well as position information (usually the desired information) text (I think

    PDFtk would do that or pdftotext) and there are image extraction tools. If you can install a server-based system

    called the foolabs pdf tools, or those of your choice, you can then send to the bottom of the pieces of text/image to your own application.

    Here again, the transcoders based on the RIM Server seem to help a lot.
