I want to PERMANENTLY delete yahoo?

Whenever I go to open a new page using the Firefox browser, it opens automatically to a yahoo page, whenever I have reset the Google search engine, it resets to Yahoo. Is Yahoo now just a slimy virus company?

Probably not Yahoo itself, but an "Affiliate" as profits generate traffic to Yahoo.

Unwanted modules can take control of your settings in Firefox (search engine, home page, the new tab page) and make it impossible for you to fight them. Price indicated in the details of your Question > more titled System Details "Sale Clipper" brings up red flags in a web search. It could be just the tip of an iceberg of malware.

Here's my method of tracking down and cleaning of the bad modules, the air pirates and injectors ad. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

(1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

(2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

Any improvement?

(3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

After all that, I hope that your changes to settings will stick like Mozilla intended.

  • Permanently delete an item from my library and computer - Windows, iTunes 12.3.3.17

    I want to permanently delete an item from my library and computer - Windows, iTunes 12.3.3.17

    I read this post from Apple. But I do not get option 3.

    Can someone please help.

    Link: 12 iTunes for Windows: delete the songs, playlists or other elements

    Option not to get:

    Do one of the following:

    • Remove the item from your iTunes library only: click on a file to keep.
    • Remove the item from your computer: click on move to the trash. The item is deleted the next time you empty the trash.

    The exact behavior on deletion depends on the location of the file in question as iTunes encourage you only to recycle the files located in the iTunes Media folder. Behavior also differs if you are working in a playlist rather than saying the main music source. Shift + delete can be used to remove it from the library while you watch a playlist. Removal of media bought may lead to additional confirmation dialog boxes, as well as the use of iTunes game or Apple's music.

    If you keep your media outside of the folder of media to iTunes standard see KillSelectedFiles for a script that does just what it says.

  • How to ensure a permanently delete (shift + delete) file has been deleted and is not recoverable with advanced software

    Hi experts, I cleaned my harddrive using shift delete but also normal deletion and then empty the trash. I do so I can prepare to be sold on if I find a moment (and buyer).

    I am told however that this actually does not remove the files but brand only as "too accessible writing." And that it takes a while - depending on how much has been marked to be deleted permanently - for these files too write.

    How can I make sure all the files I want to permanently delete are not recoverable with advanced software?

    How long would it take to write too say 20 GB of data?

    Your feedback is very much appreciated.

    Rgds,

    Use Google or Bing to search for 'file shredder' or 'secure erase' software which will overwrite files with random patterns of data, making them unrecoverable by most of the efforts.  HOWEVER, please keep in mind that no matter what you do, away from physically destroy the hard drive, there are always ways to recover files even if these files have disappeared in a secure way.  That's why U.S. Federal agencies requiring a high security have their hard drives shredded into metal fragments when they have access to computers.

    The Q5 and all models of BlackBerry10 OS do not store or save send ON the device, they synchronize the email from the server. So if remove you account and the account again on the installation media, and the same e-mail synchronized to your handheld... where do you think they are synchronization from?

  • Are files that have been permanently deleted from really deleted trash?

    What follows is of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/permanently-delete-files-recycle-bin#1TC=windows-7,

    "To permanently remove files from your computer and retrieve any hard disk space they were using, you must delete the files from the Recycle Bin. You can delete files from the Recycle Bin or empty the trash at the same time. »

    Six months ago, I deleted some files with specific names. A couple weeks later, I deleted these same files to the trash, and accordingly the information cited above, these files should now be removed permanently.

    Why, if these files have been deleted definitely four or five months ago, they appear on a list of files scanned by my anti-virus software. (The anti-virus software identified their location as $Recycle.Bin.)

    I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain that to me.

    There are several levels of "deleted".  First is the trash, second is when you empty the trash, but even in this case, there may be more than one basket and this is probably what you AV is to find.  You can check in instead of just looking in the Recycle Bin, you open Explorer and navigate to the $RECYCLE. BIN.  INSIDE, you can find today's trash > and there are perhaps more than in this capture.

    Even when you clear all the recycling bins, the fragments are still on the hard drive, but they are not indexed by the system.  They will be replaced by more but if you really want to do something unrecoverable you emplay other methods

  • Win 7 64 bit: How do I permanently delete selected files

    I don't want to erase my hard drive; I want to just delete some files and already deleted files. Is it already a program in Windows, or what I need to download something (free, I hope)?

    Hello

    Most of the data files you just delete and delete from the trash (or hold down SHIFT when you remove
    to stop the file to be sent to the trash). For programs you would uninstall them - use Revo
    -Free to ensure that they are removed carefully. After deleting files or uninstall the program then
    wipe free space helps prevent their recovery.

    If you have trouble to remove problematic files:

  • permanently deleted photos are REALLY gone?

    I accidentally deleted permanently 'iPhoto events' album of my iPhone > iCloud > Mac. I went from 8 000 to 2,000 photos. I've restored some of them of an old backup from time machine (March, 2013). My iCloud account clearly reflects the deletion. I was told that the hard drive data recovery options were futile, because data have been obliterated. Ditto for the Flash to the iPhone. I have renounced all forms of recovery of data a week ago, but now this question keeps nagging me: maybe I missed something? My precious photos are REALLY gone?

    What do you think average them permanently deleted, do you mean you deleted and then removed again from the recently deleted album.

    The iPhone path > iCloud > Mac doesn't mean anything to me, I'm afraid, but if the pictures have been synchronized on your Mac and you use time machine on the Mac, photos should be recoverable.

  • Impossible to permanently delete iTunes Playlist

    I seem to have a playlist iTunes ghost on my iPhone 5s that I can't seem to permanently delete.

    You can see the contents of the playlist in the image below. I can select each song and remove them, but they come back after I have sync the iPhone with iTunes on my Mac mini.

    I'm sure I'm wrong, but is there a way to permanently delete this playlist on my iPhone? Thanks in advance!

    TT2 is the iTunes of real experts around here, so hopefully it will chime.

    In the meantime, I guess that you delete the playlist in iTunes. Is this correct? I also see that the songs have the dreaded punctuated by circles next to them. Which is never a good thing, I know. I read that if you unsync your music and delete this and then Resync, these circles go away and the music should appear on the device again. Then you should be able to remove them properly.

    I will admit that I am no expert on iTunes, but I know that dotted circles are not good.
