    Everytime I open Firefox looking for something - it automatically opens a second tab and forces me to this tab. On the second tab is the Google account login. Now, I avoid using Firefox if I can because I can't cut it.

    When I click on a link of file (for example "setup.exe" or "Setup.zip") of a Web site, on what it asks you where I save the file and indicates the size of the file, but the download has already started in the background before I clicked Save. I have a fast enough connection but limited download allowance if the file is large, I'll cancel it, but a few MB can be downloaded until I can stop it. If I use just click on - > "save link as...» ' then he does not start downloading until I click Save but it don't tell me the file size, I also changed settings of early reading, which did not solve the problem.

  • How can I stop the automatic renewal of my iTunes game subscription?

    I received an email to alert me that Apple will charge my card debit $24.95 to renew my subscription game, I don't want to renew at this time to iTunes.

    3. Click on View Apple ID

  • How can I stop spotify that appears when I start my PC. ?

    The Spotify link keeps appearing when I open my PC, even if I did anything to unsubscribe Facebook & on my desk. help please.

    Hi Sue,

    It is not a virus or infection - just a difficult program to remove (or so it seems).  Let's start with some basic options and see if 'simple' did the trick.

    First of all, download Revo (the free version): http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html.  Install and search for Spotify (or anything that looks at it's Spotify).  Advanced mode allows to uninstall it from the computer.

    If this does not work (or you can't find it), then download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 and install it and run it and click all.  Now, search for all entries (there can be more than one, in order to verify the entire list) which indicate Spotify (especially in the startup programs).  If found, clear the checkbox to prevent them from running at startup.  Once done, reboot and that will probably solve the problem.

    If that doesn't work, check your browser and try the mode without modules (if he has one - you can find it for IE in the menu start / all programs / accessories) or check the Add-ons for those who relate to Spotify in any way and disable or delete them.  Then, if you found one, reboot and see if the problem persists.  You will need to do this for any browser that you have installed.

    If this isn't the case, please explain further what you mean by "link Spotify".  It's a shortcut or something in the taskbar or a running program or what?  Where is it located?  If you right-click on it and click Properties, does say anything about where it came from (a specific location)?  The link even works at all if you do a right click or left click on it?  He works (by which I mean, is Spotify actually run or is the problem just the boredom of the link appearing)?

    If the problem persists, try a clean boot to see if the problem persists.  If this isn't the case, we can solve it.  Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

    That's enough for now.  We can try other things if these do not work, but we will keep for just this now and Then, if the problem persists, please answer these questions and explain what happened with each procedure you tried and provide everything that could be useful.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
