I delete search Google Firefox but it always comes back. How can I get rid of it for good?
I deleted from my search provider Google. I've used about: config to remove all references to Google. After the closure of Firefox once or twice, Google is back and fits as my default search provider. I scanned for viruses and rootkits, but my computer seems to be clean.
You notice other parameters to their default values being reset?
Your favorite default search provider is stored in the file prefs.js, a settings file in your Firefox profile folder. Some 'cleaning' software can remove this file at intervals, and some software that protects you against changes unwanted browser can be replaced by an earlier version of the file (for example, functionality of surfing protect against Advanced SystemCare can do). This article has more suggestions of resets settings diagnosis: How to fix preferences that will not save.

I rarely use tabs, so the tab bar was always hidden. from yesterday, when I opened firefox a "search" tab is present. A single tab is also present. The 'search' tab is very similar to the search button on the right side of the navigation bar. It is therefore redundant.
How can I get rid of this "search" tab?
Thank you very much. Microsoft Security Essentials was unable to detect it and let it turn off my computer. I think there must have been on my computer with an update of my Firefox. I am extremely disappointed by Firefox because of this and the fact that I can't hide the tab line. I know that I can laugh with a plug-in to hide the line of the tab, but it is more time. Remove the possibility to hide something is simply STUPID. I want you to give me a feature that I never use, fine, but please do not take to something that I never use the two lines on my screen.

How can I get rid of Claro search? He turned to Google.
How can I get rid of this very delicate malware? It has hi-jacked and Google search according to the very limited online feedback, it is very difficult to get rid of and "advice" often try to sell me an antivirus software. I tried the obvious things: uninstall - searched and no sign of her, and then controls, no sign of him, then do tools > Options > settings > search engines and return default Google and guess what... Claro still Hi-jcks Google and is apparently very busy reading this? Help...
Thanks a lot Gordon for your very quick response and recommendation. I don't know how Claro exceeded my NORTON antivirus, but it did. Embarrassed, after hours of almost panic, I think I got rid of Claro due to the intervention of my wife! She suggested restoration! Before smile you, I have been a prisoner of MSN since the days of Babbage and have always found that RESTORE never worked but this time he did! I had a look at RESTORE points earlier and noticed a glut of Microsoft "Security emergency" updates, I went beyond 7 days and after 7 minutes, I was incredibly «back to normal from Microsoft» I now check these security updates "Urgent" and install them manually - I can't be sure if this is how Claro snook in but remember that Sherlock Holmes said about the search for truth? Interestingly, I read that Gmail stops then how is it that they know about it and my blank mail does not have this malware? However, on your recommendation, it is fully appreciated and kept in reserve (only free for 24 hours - I'll, "keep my powder dry!" for now at least). I reported my findings to Norton. Our technicians use AVG and often tell me to abandon NORTON, I fit and arrived next renewal Bill is going to say goodbye - I guess that the loyalty is blind? My only concern is is that Claro mess with its records... I can't be sure if Claro is dormant and waiting to be resurrected by the time, or "trigger". Aside: you don't say that you are a student, if you're looking for a qualification, keep up the good work and best wishes for your future. To paraphrase Darwin: "is not intelligence that leads to success, it's the ability to adapt", I benefited by adapting to the advice of my technophobe wife, now apparently I have her other pair of shoes! Yours gratefully, O.

I get a window of surf canyon to appear on my desktop. I checked in my control panel and features program and it does not appear there. I checked in firefox, tools, add ons and, it seems, but it is disabled. There is no option to "remove" as there is for other add ons. And, even if it presents as being disabled, the window keeps popping up. How can I get rid of this?
According to a screen shot I've seen online, when you are in the Control Panel, uninstall a program, you are looking for is called Fast Search. It might be easier to click on the column heading "installed on" to bring the most recent infections, I mean additions, upward. I hope that here uninstallation will remove the Firefox and IE as well.

I removed AVG and installed Avast, BUT the computer is slow, and I see a lot of files AVG still in the computer. How can I get rid of AVG? I did a search and found 269 files related to avg! I tried to delete them one by one, but some of them I get a message that Windows can not remove this file. Help!
DON'T waste your time trying to manually delete the files! In addition to being inefficient, you run the risk to delete system files, thus causing real damage to your system.
You must run the AVG Remover tool, which can be found here:If you want to help to improve your performance, you should start a new thread in the performance and Maintenance section. -
I don't want to see the Firefox pop ups. How can I get rid of these pop ups?
Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.- http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php - Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

I have a lot of old e-mail files I try to delete, but they remain in the file from the Recycle Bin of 2009. How can I get rid of them?
If you have an IMAP account, go to Mail/preferences/accounts/box mailbox behaviors and make sure that the store deleted messages on the server is not checked. If this is the case, uncheck the box and see if you can remove the trash.
If that is not working, go to Mail/trash, select an e-mail message and then control - click/Delete. Does it work?
