I tried to update firefox secuity this morning and got stuck with Voseran off site in Mozilla
I went directly to Mozilla for updating security settings of Firefox and ended up finding the Vosteran browser. I'm pretty tech savvy and monitored very closely all the things he did and never saw coming until I rebooted and there it was. I took all measures to remove them, even deleted Firefox for now. But you might want to look into this.
It's very frustrating, I use the paid version of the ultimate AVG virus of the Ant and it's still out there.

Yes, something is happening - you have probably malware on your pc (via a different infection vector as a download from mozilla.org), that is why I recommended you analyzing your pc with various security tools!

I can not connect when I turn on my computer the error messege says that it has been properly closed. Him freezes just screen (black), I tried to stop and restart several times, and produce the same results. All started when I tried to get my 'new' Hp keyboard to work in ports at the back of the tower. That didn't work so I tried to use my old keyboard in the same port, in vain. I ended up having to use the USB ports on the front of the tower to get a keyboard work. Good so I know I messed up when I downloaded a driver tech program. All successful going great until I tried to turn my computer on this morning the screen BLACK nothing. The error message says that it computer was shut down improperly and now it will not load.
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

I have Firefox installed 15.0.1. And the drop down menu that appears when I hover over "Bookmarks"-> different looks. I wonder if I have somehow lost all my favorites. I hope not!
Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

set to automatic update was held this morning and now Player opens and closes and then after 5 seconds. How can I fix it
A few things you could try...
- Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, and then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
- You can open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
- If Reader opens in itself, try to disable the Safe_mode in the registry; Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
- It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.
You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (stores the history of update).- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Update works not properly)
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

Hello
Would you please ask the same questions more then once in these Forums.
What you're doing is confusing in these Forums, as nobody else knows what advice are envisaged for you in other responses.
Other questions, it seems you have an HP computer.
Here is the information of HP for Vista from recovery to factory settings:
"Recover Windows Vista operating system using HP Recovery"
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

If the PC cannot access the Windows desktop, and the Recovery Manager cannot be started by selecting the f11 at startup key, you can use either the recovery disc custom that you created, or you can order a recovery CD to replace HP, to boot the PC and restore the hard drive to its original operating state.NOTE: perform the recovery process by using the custom recovery disk you created can take less than an hour, whilst using the replacement disks ordered directly from HP can take four to six hours and includes several reboots.If the HP Recovery Disk Manager can access the hard drive, it will attempt to repair the recovery partition. If successful, a prompt to continue execution of the recovery using the Recovery Disk Manager.Use the recovery discs to restore the PC by following the steps below.- Insert the recovery disc into the optical disc drive and start the computer.If the computer is running, insert the reinstallation disc and immediately click on Start and select restart to force the computer to boot from the recovery disc.
- When prompted, Press any key to boot from the CD or DVD, press any key on the keyboard.
- Leave the recovery disk boot and load the files required, while the Microsoft loading screen appears. It may take several minutes to load the required files.
- When the HP Recovery Manager window appears, click Advanced options , System Recovery , and then click Next to open the Recovery Manager.
- etc.
If you are having problems using the HP recovery process, you will need to contact HP, because this is Recovery process HP, not Microsoft.

- I allowed to install Shockwave Flash in my computer this morning, and then malfunction of the application. However, I reset my computer and connected only on yahoo.com but I couldn't sign in to other sites like google, wellsfargo and. I tried to disable this add-on 'Shockwave Flash' managing by module. Help, please. Thank you.
- Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Shockwave Flash should not do that. However, if you want to delete it go to programs and features in Control Panel. Click once on Adobe Shockwave Player and click on uninstall in the menu at the top.
