• How to get rid of yahoo as search engine when opening firefox

  When I open Firefox and enter a site in the search box, yahoo appears as a research vehicle. It takes forever to find the required site. I tried various things, but it seems that this feature of Yahoo has been installed when I did another download.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/safe+mode
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/SearchReset/

  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).

  If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

• How to get rid of the software malicious www1.search - result

  This malware redirects Firefox Google searches to a limited set of trade data and other questionable sites. It is not a problem with Internet Explorer, but I need Firefox because of Zotero. Analysis of standard security software (Sophos) detects no problem, and reset Firefox did not help. Search the Internet for possible solutions suggests looking for www1.search - results via the control panel and uninstalling did not help because the program has not been listed. Any other suggestions would be appreciated

  Just to understand what you see:

  • you are on the legitimate Google site, you click on a result, and it takes you to an unexpected site?
  • you are on the legitimate site to Google and content additional/inauthentic is injected into the results page?
  • You cannot use Google because you are diverted to another site?

  In Firefox, could check you your connection here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

  The default setting "Use system proxy settings" should piggyback on your Windows/IE 'LAN' settings, but you can also try the 'no proxy' to see if that helps.

  Any change?

  Malware often masquerades as an innocent name, or is protected by other installed programs at the same time. I suggest therefore return to control panel, uninstall a program, for a second look. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group additions by date. This can help the build-up of undisclosed items bundle or other programs of mystery who snuck with some software that you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  You can "absorb" remain problems with scanning/cleaning suggested in this article of support tools: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. Although there is nothing wrong with Sophos, each vendor tends to have slightly different reasons for the detection of malware from programs considered to be "annoying". Also, the classic "Google redirect virus" often required a rootkit remover before it could be completely cleaned.

  Hi Francois,.

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description, it seems you are trying to delete videos from Xbox movies.
  By default the video app will appear in the video window Library locations, and then the video application can detect the content automatically from the video library.
  I suggest you open Windows Video Library and check if the videos are there are.
  a. in Windows 8 start screen, tap or click out of office. This will open the classic view from the office.

  c. under libraries, tap or click on videos.

• Adware? And how to get rid of?

  Since last week when I'm redirected to a game at random navigation site. First of all, I thought it was just something to do with Firefox (the browser I used), but then the same thing happened with other browsers too. I then installed Opera to judge if it would happen again and Yes, it happened. Then I tried to reinstall the whole OS, hoping that would solve the problem. There can be no. I always get redirected to a site "yu0123456". How to get rid of this? I installed AdGuard so it blocks me enter the site, but still not open tabs. After the reset of the operating system (I also erased the hard drive), I did not visit malicious sites. I just downloaded programs I had before that happens again (steam, Spotify, discord). I tried to scan my Mac with Malware Antibytes, but he found nothing. If it's harmless, I could live with that, but it's very irritaring. If there is a chance he could phis my information, so I want that he removed as soon as possible. What can I do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Adware is usually not malicious. Its purpose is to push ads into your face. Adware makers get a fraction of a payment of one hundred whenever an ad is shown. That's their motivation.

  You say wipe you the drive, but if you restored a backup Time Machine or Migration Wizard to restore your applications and the user account, you managed that by copying the problem at the back.

  MalwareBytes for Mac can't catch everything. The adware manufacturers are constantly changing which moved things and which appoints the files have. It's a job without end for manufacturers of MalwareBytes to catalogue these items, so they can be found and removed. But of course he is not hurt anything to use as it can remove a lot of problems for you, leaving only the new elements, unknown to locate and remove manually.

  Depending on where you have steam, Spotify and discord, the installers may have been (and often are) responsible for the installation of adware and you want to install.

• How to get rid of a popup offering to remember my password that appears in the upper left corner?

  Yes, this popup is annoys me no end! It appears each time I fill in a password anywhere! It is more or less said: "Do you remember this password?". first of all I didn't know what program did this, but now I know that it is Mozilla Firefox. Why so many of (and undesirable too) want to pop-up windows to 'help' when in fact what they do is irritate the person and not even identify the program. It is a parody of the worst kind! You do not?

  If anyone knows how to get rid of it forever, please let me know? Thank you very much! Adelaa

  If you want to just disable this for a specific domain, you can click the drop-down list and click "never for this site". Otherwise, you can go to the Security section of the firefox preferences (enter ' subject: preferences #security ' in the address bar) and uncheck "remember passwords for sites".
