Impossible to uninstall TopArcadeHits extension

I downloaded something from download.com and installed it - he eventually trigger a world of shit in my computer (malware, etc.). I think have gotten rid of it all, except for this Extension cannot be deleted Firefox called TopArcadeHits.

I tried to restart Firefox in Safe Mode using the button "Reset" in troubleshooting menu in Firefox, manually Extensions in the Firefox files will install directories, and completely uninstall and reinstall Firefox, making sure to make clear on all my favorites, cookies and customizations in the process - nothing works, that darn extension is still in there. He is disabled, but I want that he disappeared forever. It's sort of weird, a couple of other extensions always stay put, like Logitech SetPoint and another which I am not worried - but just strange that those don't get wiped out with the actions I have taken.

How can that be banned from my browser?

Thank you.

I had this problem too, and here's how I successfully removed FF21 under Windows 7. After you have uninstalled the software from my machine base, he was still as an add-on and "good behaviour". After hearing the recording, I found that this extension was stored in an unusual location:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions

I.e. same level at the top of the page firefox user appdata, instead of under the file extension in the profile under the firefox folder. In addition, the offending real extension is buried in another file of extension... delicate ' container'. Once this file extension has been removed, he disappeared from firefox. (I've also cleaned my registry as well, but that was not necessary for the withdrawal).

There may be other places that extensions can be placed. It would be nice if the next versions of FF applied to the location of the extensions to the directories the overall and only (location of the content cannot be controlled easily, but expansion slot should be).

This should also be added to the:
Cannot uninstall an add-on
(Note the location above is distinct from the overall expansion slot in the installation folder that is referred to in this article).

I hope this helps...

  • [SOLVED] Impossible to uninstall TopArcadeHits extension?

    I downloaded something download [dot] com (I'm not typing the address because I don't want anyone to link there without adequate warning). I looked and did * everything * I've found to remove this extension. MMFA, Spyware Terminator, Windows Defender (I'm on W8 and it is integrated, so no reason to not use it), uninstall manually, nothing.

    It is not listed * everywhere * on my computer. But in searching, I found something. It creates a Windows Task object that re - install the extension and the software component (which is a separate program that collects data from the user) at startup if it is deleted.

    Can anyone provide assistance?
    I even found the solutions listed here and they no longer work.

    EDIT: for anyone else reading this, you will need to find and remove the global folder that the extension is placed in.

    In general this message only occurs if you have several versions of installed Dreamweaver and the extension is enabled at least two versions. So if you have DW8 and DWCS3 and the extension is installed at the same time, and you want to completely remove the extension, open the extensions Manager, then change to DW8 uncheck the extension. Change to DWCS3 and uncheck the extension. Repeat until all versions are unchecked. Select the extension, and then click Remove.

    If you still see this message after doing the not checked on all versions of DW, then I suggest try reinstall the extension and try again to uninstall.

  • Firefox tab disappeared, have mysearchdial. No program of mysearchdial in installed programs impossible to uninstall. no way to manage add-ons with or without tab firefox orange

    Could not find a way to get rid of mysearchdial. no tab orange browser firefox so can't get to manage no Add ons and any program mysearchdial in the installed programs in Control Panel, so it is impossible to uninstall.

    tried to change the home page but no matter what I do, mysearch dial remains there. went to mysearchdial web page, followed their instructions, no use. Tried to run malwarebytes anti-malware and it has not seen anything like that. my browser opens really slow. The Microsoft Security Essentials is not helping either. I tried booting from the ERD, start did not find any problem. the search on my computer for mysearchdial or something unknown shows nothing. ran put utilities at the point in the registry, found nothing.

    What should I try next? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The easiest way is probably to make a Reset of Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your personal data (bookmarks, history, etc.) will be saved, but you will have to reinstall all your addons.

    Firefox - modules to reset and refresh settings

    If you don't arrive in the Firefox Orange menu to do the reset and then close Firefox and then hold down the SHIFT key while you open it. This will bring up a menu that gives you the ability to reset Firefox.

    The problem is that (as you've identified) there is a chance that Firefox will get hijacked again if you are unable to remove malware from your computer.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    I also suggest looking at the list of programs for starting and turning off one you don't want to or don't recognize. All that is originally from the diversion of mysearchdial is likely to be listed in the startup list, because he wants to run as soon as the computer starts.

    I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

    How have you tried to uninstall?

    What is going on?  Please report any message (s) completely, without paraphrasing.

    Did you use it to 'clean up' or 'fix' the registry?  If Yes, how long?  If this isn't the case, a long time ago, is there an "undo" function that allows you to get to the State of your computer before using Registry Mechanic?

    If it has not been long since you've used Registry Mechanic, (b) you have not installed or uninstalled all other applications, and (c) you have not disabled the system restore, use system restore to go back to a point before you used Registry Mechanic.  I would not use SR to return more than a day or three.
