I clicked on a link on my computer.
I clicked on a link on my computer. I've got Yosemite 10.10.5. I now get location of verification questions to an address that according to me is the one I opened upwards. Does that mean I have a virus and what should I do?
It is probably just to ask your location and is not a virus. Try going to System Preferences/security & privacy / confidentiality, unlock the lock and see if there is a box you can uncheck which stops applications. Safari is probably the logical choice.

Original title: link stop "restrictions in effect on this computer.
All of a sudden when I try to click on a link in an email that I get "this operation was cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. Well... I am the system administrator and I have no idea what is the cause. What is a windows problem or a problem of office?
Bruce,
See my post on 1 December. None of those links gave me an answer that worked. I found a Geek forum that works. I now can have all three browsers installed IE9, GoggleChrome and Firefox. I like the last two because IE9 periodially breaks down and the others did not. In addition, Chrome is faster for some things like the control off site to purchase.

If I go to a video file that is stored in my computer, for example xyz.mp4 and right click on it, one of the options is 'Open with' and several options for example QuickTime player, RealPlayer are presented for me to choose. But when I add the file to a web page and create a link to it for example http://sillyvideos.com/xyz.mp4 and then I right click on this link (on the web page) in my Firefox browser, I don't get the option 'open with '. My question is: is it possible to put a link to a video in a web page, so I or other viewers can click right on it and benefit from the option 'open with' (so we can choose the drive to open it, without having to download first in our computers)?
Normally what happens, is that the server sends the content with one or more headers that dictate what Firefox did with the video.
For example, if the content is sent with a header that Firefox can play internally, then Firefox can open the video in a tab and use a built-in player. You can see with MP3s when the server says that it is "audio/mpeg" content. However, if the server sends a content type that a capable of handling plugin, Firefox can attempt this plugin.
Normally Firefox will assume that the content is meant to be displayed in the browser, unless it is an unknown type or has a content-disposition header set to "attachment". In these cases, Firefox usually has open/save/Cancel dialog box.
I don't know what kinds of choices you want to offer visitors to your site, but if you thought giving them a choice of the players external , sending to content-disposition: attachment to make appear the probably the most logical open/save/Cancel dialog box. With smaller files such as JPEG and PDF, I did it with a script on the server side (for example, a PHP script). I don't know if the script would work with multimedia files.
If you want to provide more choices, you might need the buttons or links in the page.
This example applies to a PDF file, but the same idea applies to the image files and it can work with files more mainstream media. (In this case, you change the script to specify the correct content type.)
Implementation of the PHP approach, you follow these steps. This assumes that your server supports PHP (most do so) and that your Web host allows you to download PHP files.
(1) save the following as getpdf.php file
http://www.jeffersonscher.com/RES/getpdf.php.txt
(2) using a FTP software or your server download function, copy getpdf.php into the same folder as your PDF file
(3) test with your link. In the address bar, or in an e-mail, insert the following text before the name of the PDF file:
getpdf.php?f=
Thus, for example, this direct link to the PDF:
http://www.jeffersonscher.com/RES/Mixed_Content_Blocking.PDF
would become this link to the PHP file:
http://www.jeffersonscher.com/RES/getpdf.php? f =Mixed_Content_Blocking.pdf

Cannot activate Mozilla Thunder Email. I clicked on a link in an e-mail and the screen went white. My internet provider [time warner cable] has suggested that the link was spam and viruses. Need to uninstall and install Thunderbird and I need help. Bill Huston such # 858-453-5364 thank you
Bill HustonI see you just posted.
Try restarting your computer. If is starts OK, open programs to see if they are working properly. Open your browser and simply go to one or two trusted sites. Then, open Thunderbird and check your messages.If you cannot successfully restart your computer, or if the program will not work as it should, take your machine to an approved computer repair shop and have them check.
Make sure that you install a good antivirus program.

Since I have updated to the latest version of Firefox a few days every time I click on a link, or in a dialog (like this one) or try to pin something to Pinterest, a reading of google window opens. I have no new pluggi-ns and no Add-ons. I also scanned my cpu for viruses and none were found. What is originally this issue that drives me crazy, and how can it be solved?
To eliminate if it is a corrupt add on or plugin, please check if it happens in a new profile with just the pintrist on. This will tell you if it's a combination. Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
Also sometimes an antivirus does not detect a virus that would be another. Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

If I go to a secure site and click on a link, it take me to "Oops Page cannot be found". I have reset Firefox, uninstalled and re installed, disabled my Add Ons and any other suggestions for the forum. Nothing works and that this does not happen with IE. Is the bottom line that I have to use IE for these sites? I prefer Firefox but can not solve this problem.
You found, buddy. It was my AVG Security Toolbar. My computer will be vulnerable to the virus if it is disabled?
Once again, thank you very much for your time.
KUDOS to THE MODERATOR that solved the problem.

If Firefox is open, and I then open my MS Outlook 2000 e-mail client, if there is an email with a link inside html, if I click on this link, it doesn't do anything, but if I close Firefox and then click on this email link Firefox opens.
I find that if I attempt to open another e-mail link, he wouldn't do anything until I closed Firefox again in the end.
wilsonphurwo,
Highlighting the link never worked, it was the first thing I tried, I actually found the answer myself after I had posted here.
Fortunately when this issue has happened before I had copied the solution in Notepad, and it is this I copy here for someone else who may come across this problem.
Furthermore, the links are hypertext on my MS Outlook 2000 e-mail client, so when you try to copy it only copied the text.
Anyway, here's the solution to my original problem.
1. start the desktop or Windows Explorer.
2. choose that menu 'Tools'-> 'folders Options.
3. click on the tab "File Types".
4 scroll to find "URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol" (under the File Types column) and make sure that it is highlighted.
5. click on the button "Advanced".
6. in the box "Actions" to ensure that this 'open' is highlighted (click it if necessary)
7. click on the button 'change '.
8. uncheck the 'Use DDE', click on the Browse button and navigate to Firefox.exe on your system and click OK. [Updated for clarification, sorry about the previous omission.] If you receive a "file not found" message, find Firefox.exe and click OK.
9. the path to Firefox.exe should now appear in the "Application used to perform action" box
10 go in the "Application used to perform action" box and add "-url '%1' ' at the end, without the single quotes, whereas it displays for example (on my computer at least)" C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe "- url '%1' - with quotes!"
10. click on OK again.
11. repeat the operation with the file type "URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol with privacy". -
Firefox does not have a Web site when I click on a link.
When I click on certain links firefox opens a new tab, but does not launch the web page. The tab says (GIF, 1 x 1 pixel Image), but the screen is blank. I can get to sites on firefox to my wife, but not on mine or chrome on my computer.
Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a GIF 1 x 1 instead.
