How can I remove hao123 homepage hijack without resetting Firefox?

I've seen a few posts on hao123 but nothing works. To clarify, I don't have the tools/software toolbar on my computer (at least according to the control panel) and I uninstalled WeChat of Tencent in the case which was the cause. However, I always get the diversion of hao123.

I also ran MalwareBytes and RogueKiller and deleted a bunch of results, but it solves for a little while before the problem returns.

The only thing I have not tried the reset is Firefox, but I would really like to avoid this if possible.

My questions are:

-Are there a way to get rid of him without resetting Firefox?

-If not, is there a way in general?

-If I have to reset Firefox, is there a way to save on my bookmarks/settings?

Thank you!

I think that I thought about it. Apparently the free anti-virus I used reported only recently begun to redirect the homepage of hao123. He has not done this when I started using it.

I uninstalled it and the problem seems to have disappeared. I'll leave this open until tomorrow to check that it is not.

    I do not use Windows at the present time. Not sure if Firefox did not update a option now. Personally I would not downgrade to version 17 it is not secure and does not have the latest patches. If you wish to make in order to follow the link in this article. Install an older version of Firefox

  • How can I remove some of the history of firefox

    I have Firefox history from 2008 to 2016. How can I remove 2008-2012? Can I make a backup of part only?

    What story do you have in this time?

    You can type a colon in the search bar in the Manager history (library) to get a list sorted by time and then start to delete the history from the bottom. It is best not to select too many items at once by Shift + Ctrl + PG. Prev starting from the bottom, 1000 is a good value to start. You can press the delete key to delete the selected items.

  • my laptop is divided into 2 profiles. How can I remove the 2 profiles without deleting the programs in profiles

    I want to remove the 2 profiles that divides my laptop. I wish well for my laptop one without loseing computer programs that have been added. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 2650

    Oh

    Here is an answer from another forum posted by Rick Rogers:

    "There is no method of merging the accounts, simply choose one or.
    others and save the data of the impeachment.

    Start and connect to one you want to keep. Open Windows Explorer as
    Administrator (click right/run as admin) and take ownership of files in
    the other profile that you want to save (under your registered profile). You may need to go to start / Control Panel / folder
    Options/display/and check the box to see hidden and system files to do (if you do not, you will not miss important information - in particular about your programs). Move the
    files you want to put on your user profile. »

    There are some files that you should not move - they are documented in the following article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile (which is very close to what do you except that you are not from a user account fresh but one that already exists).

    NOTE: Before removing the old profile, I would make absolutely sure all your data are moved and accessible, and that all your programs work correctly.  The time to solve a problem, if there is while you still have available data - not after it has been deleted.  Frankly, I'd let the old profile sitting there for a few weeks or more, just to be on the right side (if you have the space, and I suspect you do).

    Here is more information about the permissions you need permissions in its own right and to take ownership of:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  • How can I remove another account icloud without the help of the person?

    Hello, I need to delete an account from an ipad icloud. I had my nephew stay and he added his account for ipad from my mom, who she would now like to use. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to help me remove. There is no nice way to explain the situation, but basically, he stole a lot of things and ended up in prison. I have a number of crime when it was stolen, but the ipad was never because he did not leave the property. Of course, the ipad is not sound, is anyway apple will be able to help me? Thank you very much

    If you were the original purchaser of the iPad (i.e. he not was purchased used) then you could try to go to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment if you do) or try to contact iTunes Support Online (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/) and see if they can remove the iPad on the account - they are likely to want to see proof of ownership before they could for example help original receipt with the serial number top

  • How can I remove the Ask toolbar in Mozella Firefox?

    The Ask toolbar is always on the right side of my Mozilla Firefox toolbar. It is built directly into it. Ask does not appear on "Add or Remove Programs" on my control panel.

  • How can I remove ssl.google - analytical of my Firefox browser?

    This site continues to slow down my browsing experience. She works on many sites that I visit... to slow down the movement of my browsing.

    So far, I have seen a site where blocking scripts from Google Analytics has broken a feature of the site, so I think it's pretty safe.

    You can use the YesScript extension to block individual websites scripts. See: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/yesscript/

    As a more general purpose solution to reduce the burden of tracking scripts, but most likely break the functionality of the site, you can take a look at these:
