I can't get rid of Highlightly even though I disabled in the extensions and uninstalled in the control panel. (windows 7 pro)

Highlightly does not appear in the control panel more since I uninstalled it. I disabled the extension in the Add-ons. He however keeps popping up. I have windows 7 pro 64-bit.

Is there an action actually uninstall Highlightly your list of extensions instead of disable?

One thing I would recommend is that make you a Reset of Firefox. The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.

Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.

  • Sites Web open is not recorded in less than 25 versions of Firefox.

To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
  2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

To be sure that he's gone completely, make a check of malware with some malicious programs, analysis of the programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

All of these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

  • How can I remove a duplicate 'Add or remove programs"icon in the control panel?

    Whenever I open the Control Panel on my computer, I see two icons "Add or Remove Programs". How can I fix this problem?

    Some of what you see in the Panel comes from Control Panel Extension files found in the folder c:\windows\system32 (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive).  If you look at our you will find some there. CPL files and those who do a lot of what you see in the Panel.

    The applet Add / Remove programs you see displayed in the Panel appears because there is a file there called:

    appwiz.cpl

    If you go to c:\windows\system32 and copy the appwiz.cpl file and call the copy something like jose.cpl then go to control panel, you will see so two addition / deletion of programs listed (and they both work).  Non believers, try it.

    If you see two copies of add or remove programs in Control Panel, both work?

    I don't know what your problem is exactly or how it got that way, but if you use the Windows Explorer and browse to c:\windows\system32 folder, and then click search for .cpl, you will get a list of all the .cpl in this folder files (and maybe also see copies of backup in the dllcache folder).

    Click the size column heading to sort the. CPL files by size, then look for appwiz.cpl in the list and then look for another. CPL file above or below that has the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl file and see what the name of this file is (as jose.cpl).  If there is another file that is the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl, that's your problem.

    If you find it will not know what it is, you can just rename the suspicious file to something ending with an extension .cpl (like jose.xxx) and see what things look like.  If things get worse, just rename the file, the original name and seek some other idea-ers.

    If you find the file that resembles appwiz.cpl and don't know what it is, tell us what you see and that someone can help you to understand.
