How Amazon smart search restarted my computer and how do I prevent it?

Amazon smart search has not only taken over Firefox, but Google Chrome and IE. I tried to uninstall anything Amazon other than the Kindle reader, that was installed several weeks ago. It didn't happen immediately after that I installed Firefox. I was looking for some cleaners, PC, accession and pilot, but read carefully and don't have a clue how Smart Search resumed. I am really upset at Amazon and will let them know. In the meantime, I have to remove my other two engines. I did the method a bit 'dangerous' to remove Firefox. This cannot be the forum for how make it off my computer, but if someone has any ideas of how do not enter in this situation again, I would appreciate your comments.

For anyone to see this question, the answer was found by Googling the question.

Amazon smart search has been characterized by some as a virus, and I agree with this characterization. Anything that takes over a part of my computer without my permission and on top that takes several hours to get rid of is a virus. On the side of the lessor, it is called a PUPPY, can not remember what represents the first P, but basically it is an unwanted program (TOP).

Amazon smart search comes with other free programs. More successful you will be asked if you want. I read very carefully and all the programs that seem interesting that I'm not familiar with, including the review of research on the Internet. I do not think I accepted this, considering the articles about it, but not sure. It is worth noting that this is not always asked and it downloads just with the program you're after.

Anyway, there is no excuse for not having an uninstall program that removes all) (*) (& (& _ program and all its parts.))

I tried following some of the manual suggestion in the article that I found. He has been to remove settings personal and just hard to follow. After three hours, in total annihilation, I examined the malicious software on the Internet. Can't find any bad reviews and downloaded their free version. It has not only removed what was left of Amazon smart search, but another PUPPY I was working to get rid of. Then on top of that, all of my personal preferences in windows has been restored. I got my computer back once again. The relief was immense.

I did the full scan which took more than an hour. I'm sure there are other similar programs that could be used and just trying to give my experience, do not sell malware.

The response to prevention, it is not download any freeware. Not an acceptable solution for me. Carefully read all the fine print, it is always a necessity.

I've seen items that Amazon has done this for some time in 2013. I'm still mad that they designed something that stole 3-4 hours of my life. They should not be able to get by. It is now high time for social action.

    Hello Comunity Microsoft :D My name is Mike and I built a gaming pc. Everything was going well for the first 3 days, but now I have a few crashes very violent. Speakers in loop and buzz and screen lock. I have to completely shut down to go back to a working state. I did everything I could possibly think of to solve this problem, but I can't.

    Then. on the problem. Today, I decided that I was able to solve all the problems by reinstalling windows. I had my keys together and put the disc in. I restart the computer and changed the BIOs to boot from the CD. So as usual, I'm prompted to press any key to start from the CD or DVD.

    Just to isolate the problem, try to download a new copy of Windows 7, and then try again:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Regarding problems with the computer itself, try to disconnect all nonessential equipment attached to it to see if the problem persists.

    I would also try switching around components such as modules of memory to see if the problem persists.

    I would also check to make sure that all components are mounted and installed correctly.

  • Error "Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "When you try to install Windows.

    How can I configure my windows 7 after restoring my laptop to the factory conditians?

    My laptop had a blue screen and I couldn't get rid of it, I went into safe mode and restore my computer to factory conditions. When the computer says "the installation program starts services" you stop and I couldn't turn it back on for 15 minutes. When I turned on and tried to contained my setup, a message keeps poping up "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "But no mader, how many times I reboot my laptop, the same message appears. What should I do? I've restored my computer several times and never had this problem.

    You should try another recovery.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Hi, I am Ganesh, I tried to installed the application using creative cloud. But seems it's taking too long to install the application and it is hit. After the installation of 42%. Still, I tried to restart my computer and re-install the application. But it is keep taking so long time and struck at the end of the installation of 42%.

    If the installation process is stalled at 42 percent with no possibility of error, there is a problem with the zipped file to Extraction of downloaded in the Temp folder.

    As a fundamental step. Leave the creative Cloud desktop application.

    Delete the contents of the Temp folder:

    Optional: it will be ideal to install software like Winrar, WinZip or 7-zip,., etc.

    Please press Windows + R and you will get a command window run, get hit and type %temp%.

    Delete all the content inside the temp folder.



    Then try again to install application InDesign CC again.

    Just in case, if you are still having the same issue.

    Creative application cloud thus released, do not close it.

    Open the Temp folder, then search for the CC InDesign installation file and copy it to the desktop computer.

    Then leave Creative Cloud application and try to install.

  • Flash shut when I restart my computer and I have to uninstall and reinstall every time

    Help! I worked on it for 11 hours non-stop!

    I have Windows 7 64 bit. I use the latest Firefox browser. I have install Flash and it seems sort of work. It is in my programs to uninstall from Control Panel with the Flash icon.

    When I restart my computer and go to the Adobe site, it shows that Flash does not work. It's always in Control Panel uninstall programs, BUT there is no icon. So, I have to uninstall and reinstall to use.

    When I go to all the games Zynga.com and right click on the game window the Flash window opens but when I click on settings it freezes and I right click and left click a lot so he could get out. So I can't leave the site to use 100% of Flash to run on the site. From time to time if I wait a few minutes settings will open and I put 100% but when I go back and look at home later he says: I am using 0%.

    I have Norton 360 and switched off and uninstalled and reinstalled several times, only to have the same problem occurs.

    Until I installed Windows 7 and Vista Ultimate it worked better, but still not as good as it should have.

    Also in my plugins Firefox Shockwave is there but no Flash plugin is still there with Flash installed or uninstalled. Flash is and whence came it Shockwave? Firefox?

    Do I need Shockwave for Zynga or Facebook games? Or at all for that matter. I'll install it without valid reason as long as it is not something to screw up.

    After 11 hours of this Adobe HELL I am burned! So ANY help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks to anyone who can help me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    tan7655,
    If I read this correctly, you have a portable computer that do not have an operating system on it.  You try to install Vista and get the error.
    You've restarted the Vista installation?  So then you get the same error? If you have tried to install more than once and continue to receive this error, check that the laptop is capable of Vista?  You may need to check with the manufacturer of the laptop to see if it is able to support Vista.
