• How can I get rid of a pop-up - found Sttray.Exe-entry point

  When I start my computer, I get the following pop up: Sttray.Exe entry point not found. The procedure entry point locate string could not be located in the dynamic link library stlang.dll. Please how can I get rid of this pop up, and what it means? Thank you. PS my computer is a Dell Inspiron 9400, and I run Windows XP.

  Hi Lewisday,

  I do not think it is a virus problem or infection - this is a notice of failed to start, not a type of infection of popup.  I think you have a problem with loading the Sigmatel Audio driver.  Go to Device Manager and check to see if it shows problems with the driver.  Go to control panel / sound and make sure you can configure everything you should be able to do it - if it is not charging I expect you have some type of audio issue.

  Here is the info on sttray.exe: http://www.what-is-exe.com/filenames/sttray-exe.html.

  I also have the chance to have a Dell 9400/E1705 laptop and this applies to the Sigmatel Audio driver.  You should check your Dell Service tag number, but will probably end up here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId=NN9X1&FileId=2940571307&productCode=inspiron-9400&urlProductCode=False.

  It runs at startup for me.  It seems that you are having problems with the driver.  I recommend that you download and update the driver on the system and restart and who may well solve your problem.  You would therefore, by using Device Manager.

  Without it, you can have problems with your sound (maybe not completely - but maybe in terms of getting the best quality).  I've never tried without it and I have mine set to update for Vista now.

  If you do not want to see what happens if you don't just run this application at startup (which will remove the popup as well) and since it is more likely is not already running anyway and yet you don't mention sound problems (maybe you do not just use anything but computers audio base that maybe does not need - I'm not sure) , you can go to start / run and type msconfig.exe, and then enter.  Go to the faucet of startup and uncheck the box next to Sigmatel or sttray.exe, save the changes and reboot.  I bet that the notice has disappeared-, but did you notice changes to your audio files?  If this is not the case, then perhaps you can live without it if the above has not resolved things.

  In any event it is not a virus, removing startup thing will remove the popup and update the driver may solve the problem and allow the feature to stay (if you notice or care).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How can I get rid of a pop-up blocking my emails

  Whenever I try to open my email, I get a tree ready advertising which I can't get rid of.
  How can I get rid of him.

  It is possible that it is a new feature of your site by email.

  Another possibility is a bad add-on. Here's my method hunt and cleaning of unwanted modules. I know it seems long, but it's really not that bad.

  (A) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  B open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Remember that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Any improvement?

  If you have extra time:

  (C) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

• How can I get rid of adds popping up whenever I click?

  I think my macbook air has got a virus, all in a few clicks that a new tab opens and a pop ad on the one I've been, always on Paris or Web sites to get rid of the virus. This happened 6 months and I tried everything. Ive tried locking pop up adds and various ways. This occurred when I downloaded some kind of Downloader application, I've finally managed to get rid of it but do not add it brought with it. Clear all my Mac would help? I hope someone can help because it makes me so frustrated

  You do not have a virus, because there is no virus for OS X.  You have malware/adware is installed on your computer when you have installed some "Downloader application" was that you'd previously put on your hard drive.  You have two options to remove it-

  • Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for Mac.  It was developed by an employee trust and respected here.  It's a simple, non - intrusive program that removes malware known/adware from your hard drive.  That's all that.  It does nothing and is not take anything else.

  In the future, do not download anything from the Mac App Store or from the Web site and absolutely no matter what download a torrent or a comprehensive download site.  Often, installers are bundled with malware, and you end up right where you are now.

• How can I get rid of the pop-up error box?

  Recently when you work on files for a particular Web site, a pop up box will appear which indicates "error premature end JPEG library of the JPEG file. When I click it to close, it reappears several times, then pauses for about 5 seconds, then starts again. There is only one chart in the library, a navigation bar. It's driving me crazy, because I can't do the work. Does anyone know how to alleviate the problem? Thank you very much.

• How can I get rid of this pop up?

  Another user has posted a similar empty dialogue in this thread: installation, firefox, I find myself with a sign and a checkbox control that blocks everything. Could you try from the Safe Mode to see if your question may also be caused by a Firefox extension?

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when launching Firefox.

  If Firefox is running and you can access the menu: Either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and give Firefox the OK to restart.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?

• How can I get rid of a pop-up telling me I have TO update Firefox when I don't want?

  I get this update of Firefox saying me that I NEED to update to the latest version. I don't want to because it will affect my Norton Antivirus program. But the pop-up does not allow me an option to choose out of it and keeps coming back every time.

  Norton has updated their toolbar for Firefox 31.0 since the eve of its release. Unlike with most of the extensions, the application like Norton toolbars must be updated for each new major release of Firefox .exe.

  http://community.Norton.com/T5/product-update-announcements/Norton-toolbar-update-2014-7-6/BA-p/1163834
  http://community.Norton.com/T5/product-update-announcements/Firefox-31-support-for-Norton-toolbar/BA-p/1155994

  However, if you use the version of Comcast supplied then the update is still delayed. http://community.Norton.com/T5/Norton-toolbar-Norton-identity/Firefox-31-and-the-Comcast-Norton-toolbar/TD-p/1159906

  Either way, updates of Firefox have no impact on your application separated from Norton that the message simply indicates the version of the Norton toolbar extension you have is not compatible.

• How can I get rid of a pop-up that always tells me to upgrade my storage space?

  I have a windows laptop with two ipad3 computer on my icloud. These pop ups reappear whenever I use my iPad. I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.

  I guess that's storage iCloud. Looks like you want to back up more than 5 GB and iCloud asking you to buy more space so that you can back up your data. If this is the case, you have 2 options, stop the backup on iCloud or start excluding a few things from your iCloud backup, until your backup data are less 5 GB. Of course, another option is buying more storage iCloud.
