How to soothe spontaneous eruptions of research buddy?

Windows XP, I get the research buddy spontaneously and repeatedly throwing when I don't ask, often trying new popen documents in Excel or Word. This problem seems to have started occurring soon after the installation of the Windows Office Compatibility Pack.

Recently installed Explorer 8 also spontaneously opens a bar of 'research' whenever I have start typing a Google query, and the default cursor is the search bar. I think that this problem is related to the first.

Your computer is infected and that you should remove the malware.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I stop the Zoo research being my new tab popup?

    I reset my homepage to be Google, when things were diverted by Zoo research. Now I get that as the new tab when I open it and I want it to stop. I'd rather Google.

    If you want to return the default for all Google, this extension is a quick solution: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

    However, where you need it, here is the way to 'practice' more than change your the new tab page.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Two traps:

    • If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

      • CTRL + SHIFT + a > click Extensions in the left column
      • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons > click Extensions in the left column
    • If the amendment works but at the next startup is back for the zoo, you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  • How to add another engine of research (not Google) to Thunderbird?

    I would like to add an another search engine of Thunderbird. (Ixquick) In the solutions, I find a way to add Google, but I would add another search engine. I tried to add DuckDuck (.xml file) in a new map (searchplugins) in/Thunderbird Profiles, but it does not work. (OS X).
    I guess a new .xml file is needed?
    Is this new file Searchplugin in profiles of the right solution?

    Thank you

    research is an implementation of "open search" where the search provider is defined by an XML file that is specific to the provider. Ixquick watching they sure don't make it easy. I had to use it kludgy interface to add to Firefox, open the searchplugins folder in my firefox profile, copy the file to ixquick - ttps.xlm to the same location in Thunderbird to do in there. Why might the right word allowed me to download the XML file to opensearch.

    DuckDuckGo is about a million times more easy https://duck.co/help/desktop/thunderbird

  • Aurora News: How to get my line of research on the merits and not on the top tabs? (topic: config doesn't work anymore)

    Well, new aurora, yippie, who the F asked for it?

    Looks like a nonsense of macbook. Finally anyway - I can't put my tabs on the bottom as you could with the line of true/false browser.tabs.on.top in the topic: config. There is also apparently no option to drag your line of research up to the toolbar of the addon downstairs, because the toolbar of the addon is non-existent.

    Any way to cancel the shit they did, or is it permanent?

  • How to export type of field research

    Hello

    I don't see research with the 'Field Type' type in the export Manager. When I change the type of 'Search Type', they appear only in export Manager.
    Is it possible to export?


    Kind regards
    ECE

    You cannot export. However, you can export a list of choice one, and then modify it to change the field type. It won't matter as a field type.

    Hi JStan,

    Just guessing, but you are creating an interactive chart?

    Take a look in the template chooser to draw the basics:

    Go to the interactive chart spreadsheet (tab).

    If that does not meet your needs, you can create your own interactive chart using the VLOOKUP function.

    Formula in B2 of the chart data table (and the right to fill)

    = VLOOKUP($A2,Weekly Data::$A$2:$H$5,2,FALSE)

    That retrieves data from the table of weekly data according to the value that you type in A2. These data become graphic entry.

    Here is the data for the chart with 2 typed in A2

    Happy dialing!

    Kind regards

  • Can someone tell me how to get rid of this research ethics? I read that it is malware and I worry

    Whenever I try to open a tab I get this page search engine ético. I tried to google about the issue, and there is absolutely nothing out there.

It just seems to be in my firefox which is my default browser, that I love. Please help me. Thank you.

  • How to limit external drives that research of bridge?

    I have the problem that I find myself working on bridge selected files that have been selected from my external hard drive.

    This can lead to catastrophic results, of course, when the user will overwrite the incorrect files, etc.

    I watched all the Bridge preferences, but I can't find anywhere to limit the search to all the original main hard drive.

    Of course, it is nice to have the backup on the external drive, (that I cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)... but often I get to work on a photoshop file and realize I worked on a file that origin of the disk external and not the original HARD disk.

    It's driving me crazy!

    So... is there a way to limit external drives that will search in Bridge?

    Thank you!

    Jn

    So... is there a way to limit external drives that will search in Bridge?

    Yes, in the menu search (cmd + F or menu: Edit / Find) you have a window that Let's select you the source where search, if you choose your hard drive as a source to look into it will find only files there.

    The folder Panel can also be useful for your purpose, although I personally almost never need because the option find in Bridge, it might be when having bridge pointed toward a drive or a folder up right quick search field in the Bridge window could also do the trick for you.

    Of course, it is nice to have the backup on the external drive, (I cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)...

    I would not use Carbon Copy Cloner to the back upward, but a dedicated backup application like synchronize Pro, simply copy all the content you want to use for the external HARD drive backup and customize sync as you like it (when to back up, archive older files etc. etc.). There are also many others (some are free) backup utilities.

  • How to connect by Satellite 5100 via WIFI?

    Hello

    I'm new here.
    I have been searching for an answer days ago and would love to find it here

    I was wondering if it is possible to connect my laptop Satellite 5100 503 via wireless and how it is possible?

    Hey Buddy,

    Is your Satellite 5100 already equipped of wireless network card? As far I know THAT WLAN is an optional feature not available on all laptops. If so, you are only looking for WIFI networks within range.

    If you don t have built in WLAN card you can use a USB WLAN key for example. These sticks are cheap, and then you can go online too. :)
