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 Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

  • Your site says I'm using the latest version, but I was invited for a patch that will install when I restart. Now I'm thinking that it was false. Was it?

    I am running version 32. I was invited by what seemed to be the usual way, that there is an important security update. For some reason, I felt uneasy and decided to go to Firefox directly where it says "Congratulations, you are running the latest version.". There don't seem to be anyway to keep all that prompted me to 'day' when I restart Firefox. No one knows where on my Mac, I could find the file downloaded, so I can delete it before I restart Firefox? OR did someone knows if exit Firefox and all my other programs and restart my machine will take care of this issue?

    There is an intermediate update numbered Firefox 32.0.1, so maybe it's that invited you in. I'm thinking about where you can check this that downloaded and is pending.

    Maybe if you display the dialog box 'About' he will mention if an official update is pending?

    Hello

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

It is impossible to talk to or e-mail to a human being. I just want to have my work in photoshop again like in the demo. Thank you

    Photoshop is part of the collection of product called creative cloud. If you pay $9.99 a month, you have the Creative cloud photography Plan, which lets you run Photoshop and Lightroom until you stop paying. So, you could have what you need - check your receipt.

    Despite the 'cloud' in the name, the apps run locally.

    This is a complete scam.  You can report it to your local police.

    For your own protection, you should:
    • Change your passwords on email accounts, accounts financial and sensitive to which accounts you access online from this PC.  RIGHT NOW!
    • Run a full scan of your PC using your antivirus application...    Also download and run a full scan with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free edition).  MBAM is a very good solution in addition to your primary backup antivirus/antimalware application.
    • I would also go here: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Shared/Help.aspx and follow the advice of "I think that my PC is infected", including potentially calls MS help.
    • Above all, do not delay!  If you have any concerns about the handling of it, then disconnect your computer from the internet and call MS before anything else.

  • What happened to my old emails? Today thought Tbird that I was a new user and have been asked to set up a new account

    When I started today Tbird, I got a prompt telling me to set up my account. It was as if Tbird never had seen me before. There is no Inbox! So I created my account using my settings, I had recorded in a text file. When I retried my email, only 3 messages have been downloaded and none of my old emails were there, nor any of my files when I save e-mails depending on the subject.

    Then I went to Mozilla to see what was wrong. Apparently others have had it also. But the solution is incredibly complex and I think that I crushed my old preferences file when I recreated my profile. Is there a way to recover my old emails?

    I followed all your instructions, but I don't have my old emails back. With the folder 'see' troubleshooting information, I see Inbox.sbd and 3 files with the extension *.sbd and subfolders with names and those names with an extension *.msf. But I can't get Tbird to see these files. What I am doing wrong?

    EDIT: I've rechecked and my pointing to the right folder badly shot. Instead of going to 'mail.gte.net', Tbird watched a subfolder. I stressed in the correct folder and all reappeared, including my message filters.

    Now, how can I avoid this happening again? Should I just update this profile I made a copy of this morning?

    Thanks for your help! I was almost caught panicking at the thought of a lot of information get lost!

  • I'm moving from PC to iMac. I think that I have brought successfully my profile. My work id of addressbook, but no mail received file is obvious.

    I'm moving from PC to iMac. I think that I have brought successfully my profile. My work id of addressbook, but no mail received file is obvious. The Mail subfolder in the profile of 'new' - "Mail" - is about the same size - 1.6 GB - as it was on the PC, so I guess that the mail has not moved, however, there is no sign of what I can find on the page "news" of Thunderbird. I did move by copying the profile folder of the PC on the Mac desktop, raise the profile of Mac beside him folder and dragging the PC Mail subfolder to the mail folder in the Mac profile. I think I am way over my head here; I really want to solve the problem, so I can mothball the PC. Thanks is advance for your help.

    OK, the ini file will be

    MacHD>Users>RKW (me)>Library>Thunderbird
    

    The profile folder will be in MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles with a name like d1234pg. By default. When copying content. It is this lower level folder called. Not MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles.

    To simplify a little (I hope so.

    Install Thunderbird. go to the Help menu in Thunderbird and select troubleshooting information.
    In this tab, click on the button show the frlder for the profile.
    Finder will open with the open current profile folder.
    Close Thunderbird.

    Now, locate the old profile folder, it will be contains pref.js as a file among many others.
    Copy the files and folder to this folder, and place them in the new folder Thunderbird open in the Finder for you. To replace the files.

    Open Thunderbird and you should have it all.

    My Fire Fox download video in support not detected on you tube. It is always shows only the first video that i was downloaded.pls help

    I don't think there is much you can do about it outside the use of workaround to reload the page until this problem is corrected.

    There is this bug on this problem:

    I don't know if other extensions download suffer from this issue, as well, so you can try a little more try the website of the add-on and if possible use a different format like WebM, if they are available.

    Also note that not all videos are downloaded and registered correctly. Some may have a size of 0 bytes and fail to download, so, best is to check in downloads of the toolbar Manager in the drop-down list to make sure that the file size is correct (i.e. neither 0 bytes, but a more likely size).

    YouTube streaming makes changes to the code and the way its web pages work, so extensions can fail at any time.

  • Satellite Pro P100: I think that my graphics card is defective

    I have a satellite Pro P100 with a GeForce Go 7600 and think that graphic design is faulty. I was playing a game that has good graphics and I was testing the FPS cause it was laggy.

    On average, that a decent graphics card must be able to give an SPF of 20-29 but my geforce go overlooked 9-13, but I have a Satellite M60-164 before this laptop with a Mobility Radeon X 1700 graphics card and he played much better give me the range good fps. But maybe the Geforce could well be a bad card in general.

    Is it possible to update the graphics in the P100? He says dedicated graphics card.

    Hello

    first of all, no can´t you don't share your graphics card because the card is "wired" on the circuit board. With dedicated was he has it s own graphic memory and does not have a main RAM memory to use as graphics memory.

    Regarding your performance:
    Would be interesting what operating system you are using. In the case of Vista, I understand why performance is not good, because vista requires so many resources that the rest of the apps/games would not get the necessary resources for the successful REALLY.
    If you have Windows XP, then update your drivers, but use drivers on sites like:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ (2 GB LaptopVideo & NVIDIA Related News)
    http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/ (OmegaDrivers.net - home of the Omega Drivers for desktop/laptop ATI & NVIDIA cards)

    because these drivers are almost on mobile systems, and they use the most versions of real driver of ATI and Nvidia.

  • I think that my Mac Pro is infected by evil ware. How to ask for help?

    Hello

    I think that my Mac Pro (early 2008) is infected by evil ware. (I deliberately used the Word 2 spelling to try to make a distinction between the entity unknown I think I and - maybe - we can download free software).  I'm not familiar with the various players 'bad', so I'll just refer to it as "my entity."  I think it's a virus that is sophisticated, because, among other things, I think it changes the use/application of Malwarebytes.  A brief description of why I say this.

    I had, before, downloaded and ran Malwarebytes.  I remember well, it's that Malwarebytes did not find any serious problem.  I also ran Sophos, and that he had found two threats, one of which dealt with Sophos.  Sorry, I don't remember their names.  But, as I'm sure you don't know that Sophos takes something like 8-12 hours to run, so I have not used even once, recently.  But, I have not called Malwarebytes on my file utilities.  When I clicked it, I got a window titled users. and that was Apple, comments and shared.  I decided to download Malwarebytes again (but without deleting the Malwarebytes I just described), thinking that the the Malwarebytes nine, well replace the bogus one.  Well, he didn't.  So I can't say that the download didn't happen, or happened, he was immediately converted to users.  So I have 'something' with the title "Malwarebytes Anti - Malware" which is actually the user.

    Another indication: when I want to search, I use Safari or Chrome.  But after I enter the article I'm looking for, I see (something like) kuklorist research of...    If I ask spotlight where is kuklorist?, there is no answer.  So, no matter what kuklorist is, it can hide very well.

    I noticed that the recovery Farbar scanning tool and Malwarebytes Chameleon are available for PC.  Is there something like them for Macs?

    I suspect that the screenshots would help in my descriptions, but I don't know how to make them. I also suspect that I am not to follow the correct procedures in the start of the case.   Could you tell me how to do these?
