How to stop unwanted addresses webb...

Lately, after I open Safari and click on something, but especially during the reading of newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, new windows open with "gifts" or advice for protecting my computer etc etc.  Worse that they sometimes block any activity and I can't change pages and is even sometimes Safari freezes or fails to reopen before I restart my Mac.

Why is it that happens, anyone know?

Is this some kind of virus?  All my other email stuff etc works fine.  It's just Safari or Firefox (even worse) and it started 3-4 days ago!

Can anyone help?

Apple do something about it?

If you see alerts blocking your Safari:

1 force quit Safari.

Press command + option + esc together keys at the same time.

What Force Quit window appears, select Safari.  Press the button to leave the bottom of the window.

2 restart Safari, hold down the SHIFT key.

If pages randomly opens in your web browser, you can have adware. Follow the instructions on this web page in order to manually remove adware from your mac: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

You will also find the adware on this page http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-identification/ removal guide

If you do not want to manually remove adware use this anti-malware tool to detect and eliminate it: https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=social

Download, open the dmg file and run it by clicking the "Scan for Adware" button to remove the adware.

Once this is done, exit the application and restart your mac.

    Then just update my firefox. When I type something into the address bar, first of all I give myself a symbol magnifying glass with "suggestions" of what I might be typing. I already have firefox to see the only my bookmarks or Favorites in the address bar, so I don't know why I make suggestions. For example, a bookmark I begins with the letter E, so as soon as I start typing the letter E, the magnifying glass symbol appears and I get a result for ebay. All I want is to type the full address in me or for firefox suggest to my favorites, nothing else.

  • How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar?

    How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.

    I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.

    Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.

    Thanks in advance

    First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand you want to know how to stop e-mail spam in your Inbox to hotmail address. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will certainly help the question of fixing.

    You should report the e-mail as spam, so that the e-mail that keeps arriving in your Inbox is redirected to the Spam folder directly and you do not have to worry about this.

  • How to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted win7 upgrade to win 10

    Can someone tell me how to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted Win 7 upgrade to win 10.

    Currently, I have 50 + 'important' updates pending and 3 updates "optional" (which one is ranked 10 Windows), but even with 10 Windows Update is not selected and the value "hide this update" the only option shown in Windows Update is upgrading to Windows 10.

    Any attempt to install ONE of the other Win 7 or MS Office updates translates into Windows Update, saying that it is downloading Windows 10.

    I would like to install updates Windows 7 (and MS Office), but given the way that Microsoft has put on several occasions customers for a forced update to win 10, I'd really rather not count on leave install Win 10 and just hope that the 'Roll Back' option really works without leaving me right where I am now.

How is this possible and how to stop it? Vodafone have no idea (as usual), but they said that I had not been charged by anyone (yet). Thank you

    In addition, when opening my browser, how to stop a 2nd blank page opened (he did of tiles on it to select it, but not necessary)

    Looks like you contracted a bad add-on or two. Here is my procedure suggested for tracking down and cleaning of the injectors to ad, the unwanted speed dials and other bad modules. Sorry for the length - it is not as bad as it sounds:

    (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

    (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

    Success?
