I seem to have some spyware downloaded on my MacBook Pro. How can I get rid of this?
Recently I get pop up of Web pages when I add a URL on one page... another opens as well.
MacKeeper is one, but there are other institutions.
I just deleted an app which I believe was called myshoppy - thinking that was the one. But I also deleted that same one yesterday and she came LOL.
How can I check the system for this and how do I get rid of him?
Some adware, you can't get rid of because it is integrated into the web site. However try Malwarebytes anti-malware for mac. It will identify many these annoyances:

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -

I installed Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.007.20033 on May 3, an upgrade to the previous version (which worked perfectly). Now, some of my PDFs have gray blocks obfuscate text (which I imagine is currently hidden by blocks). In some cases, the entire document is illegible. That's happened? How can I get rid of the problem?
Try going into preferences > Page display > content and information of the Page and don't forget 'See the large images' are checked.

When I start the application Foxfire on my pc it automatically opens an additional tab? How can I get rid of the extra tab. I tried closing and restarting but it's still there? It's more frustrating to a major problem.
Thank youHi, Firefox is able to open multiple home pages with the URL separated by a "pipe" (|), so please see - How to set the home pageand in "Home Page", make sure that in addition to the URL of your home page (the Firefox start page is Subject: House but you can have another, or the page new tab, which is on) (: newtab) he has nothing else - if that's the case, just delete it.
If it's easier, you can just click Restore default instead.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

When Firefox update 8.0.1 a toolbar in the toolbar items appeared. I can't access the items and I can't get rid of the toolbar. It's big and boring. How can I get rid of him.
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

Hello! I've got CS3 Design Standard - real records and certificate of software license. It was installed on my laptop that crashed and could not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but can't get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it has not been uninstalled on the previous laptop? What should I do now? THX!
Maybe this can help someone else... I had to simply properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall again after that. I think what he sort! I also remember having a similar problem with the Mac at work a couple of years back. Not sure if it is the same for CS5/CS6. Here is a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS. I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it works beautifully. Remove from Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

We are entering battles if I try to maintain security by traditional means, but they have quite me. Setting up of the files using the highest levels of security and this has greatly affected my ability to work, even though I know they all have my account numbers, SS, anniversary, license etc. You have to find a security specialist, and if so how can I go about it?
Hi Tomrees,
· What type of virus from your computer is infected by?
· What security software is installed on your computer?
· You receive an error message or error code?
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.
I hope this helps.

My computer is running very slowly and I need to get rid of some files, especially those that I don't use. How can I start I am 70 years old and computer iliterate
The best thing to do is to do nothing.
Deleting the files from your pc won't have a significant effect on improving the performance.
If the computer is running slowly, there could be a variety of reasons for this.
You should also be more specific about what, exactly, is running slowly, arguably, for example, that it took WORD 20 seconds to open: that way, we know that it is the WORD that is slow and not something else.
Take a look at these articles that can provide you with more insight on performance issues that you are experiencing: -.

ATTENTION: If you make any changes do the easy ones first, make sure that they work and that there are no problems after having made the changes that you could make: perhaps wait a week and then continue on the next amendment.
If you are computer illiterate, as you say you are, then proceed with caution.
