It keeps popping up like a virus in Mozilla upjvuvs4.default
When I run a virus scan in C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles\upjvuvs4.default-1392573684226\prefs.js appears as a suspicious file and deletes it.
If there detect malware in the profile it actually maybe not malware, it may be a false positive.
In some cases, if the vital files are detected the profile they are needed for Firefox because Firefox will try to recreate work.
Some content on profile will be part of Firefox addons, and due to the use of the profile Firefox real contents will vary between facilities. The omni.ja file is a particular prone to trigger alerts. The user.js file is one that is not present by default and is sometimes created by unwanted software.
Please let us know the name of the file, we can at least say what it is. Malware that may affect the profile of course.
May be useful to consider a full scan of your system using multiple tools to update on the presumption that you may have a malware problem.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that 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 safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

The old messages blackBerry Smartphones keep popping up like new with OWA Exchange.
My account is a Microsoft Exchange account that I connect using Outlook or Outlook Web Access (OWA). Sometimes (and I can't find a reason for it) when I reread an email using Outlook/OWA message get redistributed to the BlackBerry as if it were a new message. Otherwise reconciliation seems to work perfectly (both delete and keep track of read vs unread messages.) I find it very confusing.
I tried to find some adjustments in currency options which would explain this and have not been able to.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Browser Safari keeps popping up ads in a new tab by saying that my mac is infected with the virus, the advertising comes back repeatedly.
N ° any message in a web browser saying that a Mac OS X system has a virus or other software malware is a scam; some sites Web legitimately analyzes the files uploaded to them, but is unable to scan the entire system.
Even on Windows, unless you manually ran a scan of malware in your web browser, the same applies.

I have problems wiping out anti-virus from Symantec.

Wifi registration form keeps popping up
When I implemented the new Mac Mini, I accidentally chose Xfinity that my network wifi instead of border, I have actually.
Since I chose Frontier in the popup to wifi in the menu bar and entered my password, he agreed. However, whenever I restart, or sometimes at random, a window "Sign up for Xfinity" (which looks like an advertisement) keeps popping up. I chose the border once again, but when I restart, Xfinity is chosen again and jumps to the top of the window "Sign up for Xfinity.
I open network preferences and chose the border as my network name (leaving "apply to join new networks unchecked.) Yet he keeps default Xfinity when I restart.
I remember that there was once an option on MacOS 'forget this network' (or is it iOS?) I want to forget Xfinity and stop failing at it.

Every time an ad 'click here for more games Crafts' appears on Skype, webafun site appears. Why does this happen? my computer doesn't have any virus or any kind of malware.

It is a follow-up to my test that I did yesterday:

Webafan no more pop ups and not better yet, no advertising at all in Skype completely. Not even the smallest.
For those who want to try the solution:

Autorun file keeps pop up on the screen
Hello, Windows expert
My Autoplay file keeps pop up on the screen. Could someone help me on this problem? My computer is running Win XP Pro. SP3. Thanking you in advance.
Hello
· When the issue started?
Try to analyze the computer using Antivirus software because this problem can occur if the computer is infected with the virus. You can use the Microsoft Security Analyzer by clicking on link http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/
Note: once a virus is removed, you will need to reinstall some software, or restore lost information.
Confirm that all drivers are up-to-date. If the problem occurs again, I might have to try a system restore.

Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
It seems a problem with missing or damaged system files. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Let flow the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps.
Microsoft security scanner: http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.Method 2:
Run the scan tool (SFC) System File Checker and check if it helps.
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833Method 3:
Try to create a new user account and check if it helps.
Create a user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
If the problem is resolved in the new user account, this means that the old user profile is damaged. Here is the link to repair a user account damaged: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profileHope the information is useful. -

Hello
It seems that you are confused between the D: computer manufacturer recovery partiton and the MALICIOUS software called Windows Recovery
they are 2 completely Different tthings
and you can't buy the manufacturers recovery partition; It is already on your hard drive
your computer is infected with malware
Read and follow ALL the information on the link below
Windows Recovery is a program of analysis and optimization of fake computer that displays false information in order to scare you into believing that there is a problem with your computer. Windows Recovery is installed via Trojan horses that display fake error messages and warnings of security on the infected computer. These messages will state that there is something wrong with the hard drive of your computer, and then suggests that you download and install a program that can solve the problem. When you click on these alerts, Windows recovery will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer.
Once installed, Windows Recovery will be configured to start automatically when you log in to Windows. Once started, several error messages appear when you try to launch programs or delete files. Windows recovery will then prompt you to scan your computer, which will then find a variety of errors, he said, he can't fix until you purchase the program. When you use the defragmentation tool called it will specify that it should run in Mode safe and show then a background in Mode Safe false who pretended to defragment your computer. As this program is a scam do not be scared by buying the program when you see its alerts.
