I had a few malware downloaded with my Firefox. How can I get rid of him?
The malware is totally screwing up my computer with unwanted ads. I can even watch netflix more because the ads cause the view to move to the bottom and I can't see the whole picture. I want this gone adware2. My norton can not handle and other places will charge $ 100-$ 200 for help. Is it possible to get rid of him without emptying my wallet?
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
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- 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.
More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

Boring 'Download' widget/add on - how can I get rid of him?
I downloaded by mistake one thing little 'trick' who claimed he could help me by uploading videos websites etc. It's THE most irritating thing I've ever had on my computer. He appears in front of every single email that I try to type; hide buttons should I use - it's a small bar that says 'Download' on it - but it is always there where there is NOTHING to download; and on the other hand, it does NOT appear on sites where I could like to download a clip - for example Youtube & BBC iPlayer. It is therefore unnecessary, but I don't see how to get rid of it. I've looked everywhere on my Mac; in "widgets"; 'library', etc - he cannot see anywhere. Someone suggested that it may be something I downloaded in my Firefox browser; but I can't see it on the page 'modules' here either. Does anyone know cela boring thing & how to uninstall?
If it works in safe mode or with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find out the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

I put a theme on igoogle - but it seems now to be integrated into my firefox because it is behind the url box, behind the bar at the bottom of the page and bookmark tab. How can I get rid of him. I always change themes, but they remain on the google page, as they should. This has nothing to do with my screen saver and my fund screens - they are different and ok - seems to be stuck in Firefox in particular.

Hi StevoD1,

(2) remember to make changes?

Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

Ads popping all over... additional tabs open with "studies". I looked at all the messages of support, and nothing seems to address how to get rid of it. I even trashed Firefox and reloaded. The same problem. This does not happen with Safari. I am ready to trash Firefox constantly and just go back to using Safari. Want to do that, I love Firefox, but this recent problem is really annoying.
If you have installed Firefox from the official website of Mozilla, these pop-ups should not happen. They are normally caused by an extension, or an application external hanging in Firefox.

If you to not download from these links and still have the link you downloaded since then, can report you to:
Can provide you also a link to others who have the same problem?
If you have downloaded Firefox from the official link, have you tried to run Firefox in safe mode to see if these statements still appear?
Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
