How can I get rid of the fake Support of Apple Web sites?
Recently I've been doing pop-ups from sites like MacKeeper and Apple Support (not official supported by Apple). He is the one who warned me that the pop-up windows is enabled and that my computer is in danger (des.desireaid.info), and once I get this window, I can't get by without forcing them to leave Safari. I deleted the history, but also cookies and it will be good for a couple of connections on Safari, but I can't seem to get rid of it for good! The one that bothers me is that sometimes opens when I click on the Support button on the Apple site. This website is called "Apple Support!" In fact, I called the company des.desireaid.info to tell them I wanted out of my browser and computer advertising, and a gentleman, who sounded incredibly like the gentlemen who call to tell me that my computer sends error messages, told me that 1) it was not an advertisement (although there is a clause of disclaimer at the bottom that clearly started with CE IS a ADVERTISING) and 2) he will have to take control of my screen to remove (and delete all my personal information, as well, I'm sure)!
While I was typing this, I had actually the following message appears:
How can I stop this?
I'm running a 1 T 27 "iMac with El Capitan and I use Safari as my browser.
See: a local browser took more than Safari.
(Note that I am not affiliated with this site, and some pages contain ads).

How can I get rid of the security warning when viewing Web pages
I recently received a security window pop-up asking if I want to view only Web pages delivered safely. How can I get rid of this and why I see this all of a sudden
Hi Elizabeth,.
I don't know why he suddenly began occurring - maybe it was an update or something you have installed. It may be a corrupted system file or maybe even malware. It is very difficult to tell without extensive trials. But let's focus on the most likely solutions. Later, if you want to go back to the 'why', we can make some procedures to test potential causes (although if the problem is resolved, it can be very difficult to identify the cause because it can be fixed or repaired money) - but I'll be happy to go there with you, if you want to.
In Internet Explorer, go to Internet Options / Security / Internet / Custom level / then highlight near the bottom in the section, until you get to "Display mixed content". My guess is that it is defined at the command prompt (which is the window that you see). You have three choices: you can leave things as they are on command prompt and decide in each case what you want to do (which is how I have mine set up - it really is not so common). You can click on Enable and IE automatically displays pages with mixed content and no prompt. You can click on disable and IE will display not these pages (and will probably give you a screen indicating the reason and you must then choose somewhere else to go or perehaps click on the back button to go to the page that brought you to this page to see if there is no indication to choose one type of content and avoid the problem (although I've honestly never seen such an option).)
For what it's worth, I almost always approve unless I'm on an unknown site where I already feel uncomfortable for a reason-so I can choose to refuse to approve and give up everything I did and move on (but it happens so rarely I honestly don't remember not that last time who had held-) It has been several months at least.
If this does not work (or it has not been set to prompt), do you know where this problem started? Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started. Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html. Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two. NOTE: You will need to re-install any software and updates that you have installed and uninstall any software that you have removed between now and the point of restoration, but you can use Windows Update for updates.
I hope this helps. If this isn't the case, after return and, if you can provide me with some links to these sites (I don't remember those where it happened to me) so I can further research and to test the results.
Thanks and good luck!

Everytime I open Firefox there is a window that says "media player is out of date" and won't let me not go further until I close the window, and then reopen Firefox. When I try to update, it says that it does not work for Mac.
Please do NOT install this suggested MediaPlayer. This message is caused by an extension that I recommend withdrawal, following these steps:
Please try to disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:
- CMD + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then deal a critical look at the list on the right and, when in doubt, turn off (or delete). Especially if you find something called MediaPlayer. Keep in mind that all extensions are optional and none is included with Firefox when you get it first.
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.
That get rid of messages?

How can I get rid of the icon "junk" on a message when it was put there by mistake?
I converted a few perfectly legitimate "junk" in error messages, click the "junk" that is in the same row of answer-transmit-Archives-Junk-delete below of the top window in which information on each e-mail is displayed line by line in any other file (Inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) has been selected.
It's easy, of course, to move these back to my Inbox, which is where I wanted them, but now they have bright orange "junk" icons displayed to the left of the Date. That in itself bothers me not specifically, but I'm bothered by the action of these icons should represent. namely, that I have "educated" Thunderbird to recognize emails from these sources as junk and start to divert the messages from these sources in the junk e-mail folder. I certainly don't want that to happen, but the undesirable feature seems otherwise good, so I don't want to turn it off, either. How can I get rid of the unnecessary icons on emails marked as spam accidentally? And reverse the "undesirable character" of a message by surgery will remove the Thunderbird learning process?
Thank you for helping.
There are several ways. The two easiest are click on the Junk icon to turn off or click with the right button on the message and select Mart As - Not Junk.
