I get pop up windows when I use my browser even though I turned off pop ups. I have even new windows that open automatically. How can I fix?
I have pop ups and new windows that open automatically when using my browser, I have pop ups off. How canI solve this problem?
Hi Snyder22,
I understand how frustrating it can be to see ongoing ads on your computer. I have an article for you with information about the stop of this behavior:
Stop the cAds in Safari - Apple Support
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203987
The behavior you describe can be better attributed to adware, referred to in this section of the article mentioned above:
If you could have the adware installed on your Mac.
If the pop-ups still on your Mac, you might inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-taking software supported). Some software that you download from some third-party download sites can include the software you want and the adware.
If you think you have Adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of OS X El Capitan. If your Mac already has the latest version of El Capitan, restart it. El Capitan removes adware only when connecting. If you still see the advertising on your Mac, Contact Apple.
Be vigilant and thank you for visiting the communities of Apple Support.

For example, while I am typing my computer freezes for a few seconds and I can't type or will not move the mouse. This lasts a few seconds but then starts to work again ok. This happens on every 10 minutes or so... enough to get on my nerves, especially at the time of the school. How can I fix? I also get a pop-up whenever I go to a new page. How can I stop this as well? I'd be so grateful for any help on this matter.

Your best option is to try to reinstall Windows 7:
If Windows 7 is pre-installed:
New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
------------------------------------
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".If you have a retail copy of Windows 7 installed, use your reinstallation disk to perform a new installation:

I use Firefox every day to access many sites. Yesterday, it worked perfectly. Today, that it won't work at all. I just get "Unable to connect" message when I try to load websites - and sites work on other programs (even if I need to use firefox to do certain things on some of them...) so it is not a problem of internet access. I read the help articles and they help at all. I tried to empty the cache. It makes no difference. I tried to check that no proxy is highlighted under the advanced access settings. It is, and see which makes no difference. I tried looking to see if Firefox is permitted to access the web through my windows computer - but I can't say what program he would need to connect. And I have not changed my settings since yesterday - when it worked perfectly (or seems to). That shouldn't be the problem.
Ive wasted most of the fights with this morning. What the hell is going on here and how can I solve this problem?Hello, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox - firefox 23 was released yesterday: solve connection problems to websites after Firefox update

I accidentally installed windows vista twice. How can I fix?
Long story but when I turn on my computer, there is a black screen that asks you what windows vista I want use - the one I serve or one that I installed just by accident.
Hello MichelleBoyes,
You will now see a menu 'dual boot '. You must delete the partition that contains the second (accidental) copy of Windows, then you need to remove the second entry in the start menu.
The first is relatively simple, just locate the partition with your accidental copy of Windows installed and reformat the partition or delete the partition if you do not use this for anything in particular.
The second part is a little harder if you editing the BCDedit file. However, there is an easier way and this is to download the free version of EasyBCD http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/EasyBCD.shtml
Install EasyBCD and then run it. Once EasyBCD works click on the option change Boot Menu. Remove the operating system menu option that you accidentally installed (before doing this, it is best to bring the right one by checking the way in which they appear in the dual boot menu) and then click Save changes. Now, quit EasyBCD and restart your PC. You should now boot directly to your original operating system and the dual boot menu should be gone.
Click on this link http://neosmart.net/gallery/album/view/neosmart/EasyBCD/EasyBCD+2.0/ to see some screenshots of the application of EasyBCD. This will help familiarize yourslef with the software.

I bought a Lenovo T510 with Windows 7 Ultimate genuine pre installed on 03/20/11. The product ID is 0426-OEM-8992662-00497.

When I turned on the laptop I received the message that my copy of windows 7 Ultimate can be false, even though I received an update of windows on 06/07/12 How is that? When I tried returning product key he still came the same. What I do, and how can I solve this problem?
Your windows is not genuine.
The key of product in use is the infamous Lenovo OEM SLP key blacklisted. This key has been blacklisted before Windows 7 came out and has never been sold.You will need to buy a full edition of genuine windows or return to windows, your computer comes with that. -
