I get a file (pixel.cgi) who wants to download when I use certain sites (Groupon / Thomas Cook).

I get a file (pixel.cgi) who wants to download when I use certain sites (Groupon / Thomas Cook). I scanned my mac for the virus, but none can be found.

The page has at least 3 forms invisible that automatically submit to securepaths. com which is probably some sort of tracking site. The site sends answers normally capable of managing internal Firefox, so I don't know why you're getting invited to record in the form of a download.

The standard approach to download actions wrong is to be wary of corruption of the settings file that stores these settings. You can rename the file and Firefox to regenerate to see if that solved the problem. (You will need to review the Applications section of the Preferences dialog box to reselect the default preferences, such as your favorite email client and the PDF Viewer).

Here's how:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press enter/return

In the first table in the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (in Windows: "Show the file")

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > exit/Quit

Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

Launch Firefox back up again. Any improvement in the research Manager pixel.cgibar?

In case they are of some interest, I have attached the screenshots showing:

(1) the web console (command + Alt + k) - showing that the request to this site is a PUBLICATION, which generally indicates a sending a form or submission script

(2) source of the generated page (select all, right click, view selection source, find pixel.cgi, select all)

(3) the network tab of the web console, indicating the nature of the data being sent back to the site after the POST

  • Cannot update files have point 8.1 of Windows when you use illustrator CS5.1

    A really weird problem started today.  I am able to open and work with the files have.  However, when I save the work, the original file exists, no not update work.  I closed and open the AI and restarted the computer.  But I'm still in the dark. Can I save my work under a new file name.  Hoping someone solved this problem without reinstall illustrator.

    Washio,

    I remember my having seen this (or similar) issue before, but I can't seem to remember the cause/solution.

    He could have (something on) the list below. "resettlement is the last resort 6). ((1-2) are easy and safe. (3-4) are on preferences, ireversibly and reversible. (5) is a collection of other options, some of which may be relevant.

    I also mentioned something on external downstairs, in case that can be taken.

    In any case, I hope that you report your findings, for each of us to know and remember (I hope).

    Sometimes, (some) things can stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it can be a kind corruption (temporary or permanent) that can be cured with something on the following list. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for less severe cases and continues with two 3 ways) and 4) preferences of the society (irreversible and reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how far to go.

    The following is a general list of things, try when

    (A) the question is not in a specific file,

    (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

    (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

    You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

    External media: it is generally recommended here for open/save from/to clean hard disk and to copy to and from networks and removable media. You maybe lucky (for a while), but the chances of corruption of files and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use something else than the hard drive, and it is better safe than sorry.

    In addition to the (much longer) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/Illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html

    To have a network really work requires little work.

    Make sure that you do not mix Mac and Windows on a network: you must use a Mac with Mac machines and a Windows Server with Windows machines.

    If you go through external means, it is always safer to zip/compress the file to avoid corruption.

  • Why do I get a file icon and an icon of Firefox when I save a Web site on my desktop?

    Every time I have save a Web site on my desktop, I usually get two icons that appear on my desktop. One of the icons is the link to the website that the other is a full record of a bunch of files that I don't recognize. If I delete the file folder icon website icon deletes as well. I have not had this problem before until recently.

    Is there a way to save the site on my desktop without the icon files showing?
    It really clutters things upward.

    I use Windows 7.

    Thank you

    Hey Brad,

    When you click Save Page as... under where you enter the name of the file, there is a drop-down menu 'Save as Type' - change this to us Page, HTML only

    However the "folder" that you mentioned contains all the images and things off the web page. If you save only the HTML code, then images will disappear from the page when it is removed from the server.

    If you want to save everything in a single file, you can try something like CutePDF

    Or maybe this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../save-as-pdf/ (I've never used myself well.)

    Let me know if that answers your question.

    THX,

  • Is it possible to use the same file twice, but have different layers power when I use it?

    map.jpg

    I have this card and I want to have a zoom in the part that displays the residential street names, but of course I don't want the names of streets on the large version of the map. Without creating two different files can I activate these layers to the map zoomed in the corner and keep them to the enlarged map? Or is there a different way I should go about it?

    The reasoning to want a single file is because the streets and points of interest are evolving, it would be frustrating to manually change the street name of each file, as time passes and things could eventually be forgotten. Have a main file would eliminate errors or inconsistencies between two files.

    Card has been designed using InDesign in Illustrator and has.

  • Unable to find raw files to convert when I use Adobe's DNG Converter

    Recently, I bought a new camera Olympus XZ-1. I shoot exclusively RAW images (for this camera raw files are called .orf). Then when I tried to import these .orf files in the organizer of Phtoshop item 8 it is imposible, nor I could see these photos in the Organizer. While surfing on various forums, I was able to understand that Camera Raw included in element 8, Camera Raw 5.5, is not to support the gross of Olympus .orf, and if I didn't want to not upgrade my 8 element to item 9 or 10, a simple alternative is to download Adobe DNG converter to convert all my dng files .orf files who could then imported by item 8 and open in Camera raw 5.5.

    I downloaded the DNG Converter 6.6 version and installed in on my computer running on Windows 7. The problem is that, once inside the DNG Converter, when you select the folder where all my files in .orf (selecting a folder), I don't see the raw files to convert it! I tried to select a folder with NEF (Nikon raw files) instead, and it's the same problem! Why can I not see these files myself that I want to convert when I select the file in the DNG Converter?

    I'm dying to help!

    Thank you very much!

    I do not often use the DNG Converter. But I think that if you are inside the DNG converter workspace that you have to work at the folder level, don't wait do not see raw files. Another way to try to convert is to use Windows Explorer to navigate to your raw files and drag one or more of them on the icon for the DNG Converter. This is how I often used it in the past.

    Hi dude

    I found your other thread and posted of workaround for all who want to use the drivers from nVidia page:

    If you were not able to install thin to run the exe file, then I ve a little tip for you:
    You can update the driver through Device Manager.

    Go to the Device Manager, choose the graphics card, then press Update Driver button.
    Then choose the Advaced installation process that helps driver you to point to the downloaded driver package and force the Win OS select this.

    In my case, this procedure works and works always.
