How can I get rid of unwanted programs?
I received a notice of Firefox (with the logo of Firefox) than "obsolete browser detected" and a box to click to update my browser. I clicked on the box and ended up with 4 or 5 programs that I didn't have a new area of research, quality Watcher, a search for protection, browser protection device, including PC upward speed. I have uninstalled most of them, but cannot get rid of protect research. If this mess is really Firefox, I just changed my internet browser program. Can you tell me how to get rid of search protect?
I somehow stumbled upon a website "Conduit search virus removal guide" and he suggested that I have download ADware Cleaner, I (free) and he removed to Protect research program. Thanks to everyone for the input.

How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?
How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?
Mac Book Pro, OS X 10.9.5.
On 3 June 2016, I received a notice to update software for my Brother printer. Driver version 4.0. I don't remember if I downloaded it in fact. Then I went on the site of brother and checked for the last update which proved be driver version 4.5. I have successfully downloaded that. On 10 June, I received a software update for the old driver version 4.0 again. I don't want to install an older driver, but I can't get rid of the nagging update notice. Too late, it got installed when I was composing this message. So, if I reinstall the 4.5 update and I get another message of updated software for the 4.0 update, how do I get rid of him?
When I select the update of the software community, he rises to the Windows software and I can't change it.
I used to get update notifications for flash. I uninstalled it and now they don't bother me. And updates to OS normal mac, can be disabled app store mac settings.
In your case, I can say, try to delete the brother driver and install again, if it you nags once more.

How can I get rid of the program: Win32 / Torpump virus/malware microsft security only partially deleted scannner?
Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
check with the other methods below.

How can I get rid of the program "Systweak?
This program has been downloaded on my computer while I was with google as my ISP. I paid for the program because he said I had a lot of things wrong with my computer (even though I see that nothing happens). It seems that the only thing that I paid for, was the "protector of Advance system' and the 'RegClean Pro' which has scanned my"free"computer now wants me to pay another fee for it. I want to just completely get rid of the junk. I had the 'software to remove/change"under windows and have"supposed to be uninstalled"these programs, but they come again whenever I restart my computer - can someone help me?
Hi Mimi
You could try revouninstaller. You will need the paid version if you already deleted parts of the program. It's free for 30 days. Or you could restore the program by using the system restore and then use the free version. The program erases everything about the program. Just make sure you follow the instructions.

The new default browser is called ask.com and it showed up after I installed a program to download faster. I uninstalled the new program from my computer and add0ons, but it is still throw me back to new default browser even after I installed firefox four times. It's irriating and it just doesn't seem to go away. How can I get rid of him without losing bookmarks and information?
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
You can do a search on the topic: config a page to ask.com
