Keyboard shortcut 'Command r' has been hijacked

Command + r is used for many things, but now, whenever I enter this command in any application it just opens the Contacts application.  I have no idea what caused this problem or how to stop it. I looked under system preferences keyboard shortcuts tab, but don't see anything that could explain this.

Frustrated, I hope someone can help!

Did you try System Preferences, keyboard, shortcuts, Restore Defaults?

  • Safari has been hijacked by ads (javascript)

    Safari has been hijacked by the ads. I rooted out launch launch demons, agents, deleted all the data of the Web site, additional extensions (adblock, clicktoflash, trafficlight) and the problem persists. The only thing that stops it is disable javascript, but it returns if I activate again. The words that should be plain html are converted into links Hypertext/rollover and they ALWAYS display an ad of "Top case" no matter where I click on the screen, they open an ad. I called Applesupport, and their only solution was to leave Javascript disabled or communicate with Java. But Java only pay support. Someone at - it suggestions? I'm at my wits end here.

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

  • my command prompt has been disabled by the administrator

    I want to fix this problem.

    Message: "the command prompt has been disabled by your administrator".

    When you try to run CMD.exe or a batch file, you may receive the message "that the command prompt has been disabled by your administrator ". This is caused by the restrictions placed on the registry. DisableCMD value is set to 1 or via Group Policy. To enable the Task Manager, try one of these methods:

    Method 1: Use the console Registry tool

    • Click Start, run and type this command exactly as shown below: (best - copy and paste)

    Tracking Add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System v DisableCMD /t REG_DWORD 0 f d

    Method 2: Modify the registry directly

    • Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

    • In the right pane, double-click DisableCMD and set its data to 0

    Method 3: Use the Group Policy Editor in Windows XP Professional.

    • Click Start, run, type gpedit.msc and click OK.

    • Navigate to User Configuration-Administrative Templates-System

    • Double-click the prevent access to the command prompt

    You can then disable or set the not configured policy. Disabling or setting this policy unconfigured should solve the problem.

    If you face any problem, let me know.

    I tried to start in safe mode, and I ran malwarebytes several times. I managed to get rid of all my addons and nothings changed. Uninstall and reinstall firefox, delete the appdata files, nothing works. I try even a portable version of firefox, and after a few moments, I turned away again. I am at a loss.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    Starting from Firefox 23 keyword. URL pref is no longer supported and is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar like that.

    You can't, that's why I suggested the modules above. There is no option in the user interface or preferably hidden in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab browser.newtab.url can only be set to a fixed address, what address is to be opened in the current tab.

    Are the only two built-in methods to duplicate a tab:

    1. Hold down the Option key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    2. Hold down the command key and click the reload of the address bar.
