Locking against changes of attenpted search parameters?

I noticed that my search bar has been replaced by Yahoo instead of Google and reset Also, some sho.rt/urls was entered and came to a redirect to search.yahoo.com.

A few days ago I installed a freeware that load a program into my startup of Windows XP to change my homepage MSIE or search Yahoo Live, and alert preferences IE me and I blocked the change. Then, to get rid of the notice of start that a program has attempted to change things and has been blocked, I ran Spybot Search & Destroy and removed the offender of the boot sequence.

There are Microsoft and third-party means of locking MSIE, and I'm looking for a way to do this in Firefox.4.

Addendum: DOWNLOAD IOBit SMART DEFRAG 2 and it loaded this starter to change the settings for Internet EXPLORER and Firefox gave two new toolbars: IOBit Toolbar 4.4 and Widgi Toolbae platform 4.4. They will be disabled as soon as I send this. And I'll throw IOBit Smart Defrag too. I discovered this when I stuck out the info below.

  • How can I change the default search engine in firefox 14?

    I tried to change my default search engine, does not. A read a lot of the help file, but it seems that none of the recommendations had jobs. The problem is in the search box in the upper right where the default from now (the search engine when I open firefox for the first time) is Yahoo. I had tried to change it to goggle by clicking on the drop down arrow and select a new search engine, but does not take effect. Yahoo is still in effect so that the search engine despite this change. I also followed the advice of some to change the default engine by typing "subject: config" in the address bar and some values but still after the opening and closing firefox again, Yahoo is still the default search and could be that the change by selecting from the drop-down search menu.

    Thank you for your answer but I managed to fix the problem already. What I did is to select from the dropdown to Ask.com (it seems that it is the only option that work) a window appeared asking me what a search engine change was made, and if I would use Ask.com to be the search engine or to maintain using Yahoo.com. I chose to use Ask.com and disable the protection on the search engine. Toke effect change and after that I could change from the drop down list a search engine like Google. I put a note above in parenthesis closed, that it seems Ask.com works as I tried before to change the search engine Google, but no window came to ask me if I want to change the default search engine.

    Once again thanks a lot to you two, for the reply and for your precious time to try to solve this problem.

  • How can I change the default search engine in the address bar?

    Beta toolbar AVG changed the search engine used when I type in the address bar of Yahoo search. I uninstalled AVG completely toolbar beta, but I can't seem to find out how to change the search back to Google search engine.

    Skip this step if you also have a Yahoo toolbar
    Remove the Yahoo toolbar

    1. 'Ctrl + Shift + A' (add-on Manager)
    2. Select the piece of the Puzzle on the left side for list Extensions
    3. Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click the "Uninstall" button and restart Firefox. (if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with personal and always not to change all default search settings below)

    Then to set the default search engine used in the address bar, change the value of the keyword. URL in Subject: config to one of the values in the search of the address bar with MozillaZine.

    1. type about: config in the location (in a new tab) toolbar
    2. If the nonsense of warning message appears uncheck the box before dismiss the dialog box message
    3. filter by keyword
    4. Right click on the key word . URL and choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    5. filter on defaulturl
    6. Right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists)and again choose "Edit" and then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    7. filter on ytff
    8. Right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again once choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice, so adventurous maybe see if 'reset' would delete and see if went into the session next (at least not for those keeping the extension).

    Avoid problems: Several software installations contain additional baggage called crapware. The Yahoo toolbar is packed with Java photo

    More information on ask.com, Yahoo toolbars that involve extensions, changes not only the home page.

    More information about the configuration variables available in
    topic: config entries and for users who do not know the process, there is Subject: config (how to change).

  • Cannot change the Google search bar

    In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.

    Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.

    I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything.  I can't solve the problem.

    Safari 9.0.2 (11601.3.9)

    OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

    Mac Mini (late 2014)

    A

    Please see below:

    Cannot change the Google search criteria in Safari

    B

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. 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. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • Change the command line parameters without having to restart LabVIEW

    Is it possible to change the command line parameters passed to a VI WITHOUT having to restart LabVIEW?  Maybe I'm used to how it works just about any other development environment, but to have to do is quite frustrating.

    ronbrown,

    Unfortunately, you'll have to close LabVIEW to pass parameters in a VI of the command prompt. You can build your VI in an executable file, and then pass parameters from the command prompt.  Because the program is its own executable file, it is not dependent on wheter LabVIEW is open.

  • Locked slides change to unlocked.

    Locked slides change to unlocked when branching in quizzes returns the user to a previous slide.

    The presentation locked slides to apply users to listen to the narration before you can advance to the next slide. Quiz in the middle of the presentation takes the user to a previous slide, gave an incorrect answer. When the user returns to the previous slide all slides become unlocked, leaving the user to pass directly at the end of the presentation. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Any comment is appreciated.

    Hello

    You experience the behavior is because the slides are locked only when seen for the first time. The views of the slide are not locked, and the navigation controls are not disabled when you display for the second time.

    For more information about changing the properties of the slide, see link - https://helpx.adobe.com/presenter/using/editing-presenter-presentations.html#change_slide _ properties

    Also since you want learners to navigate the slides a second time so you can hide the PlayBar on all slides or according to your requirement, using drag handler as in the screenshot below.

    (Note: hide PlayBar only works for the SWF output)

    Please mark this answer as correct if you find it useful. Let me know if you need additional assistance.

  • How to change my Yahoo search engine to Google?

    I updated a program I use called Any Video Converter, but accidentally, I missed one of the SMALL unchecking during installation that made Yahoo my main search of all my installed browsers. I used Revo Uninstaller to remove the instillation of Yahoo and it fixed all my browsers except Firefox. I became: config and everything I saw changed Yahoo to Google, but it always use Yahoo when I highlight something on a page or use the address bar to search for something.

  • How can I stop my URL bar (upper center) to use the same search parameters such as my bar (top right) research

    I want my URL/address bar (the space upstairs in the Center) to use the google search when I type in, and I want the bar (the one top-right) research on Wikipedia, when I type in. She had previously worked like that, but suddenly firefox is no longer is allowing me to use different engines in the two areas.

    I've tried setting the keyword.url to 'http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & q =', but this setting is for some reason ignored and fails everything I put on the search bar. If I put the search bar for wikipedia the URL bar uses that, if I put to amazon the URL bar use instead.

    As I said, he worked the way I loved yesterday and today it is no longer. I have not modified parameters between yesterday and today that this would lead to.

  • How can I change the default search engine?

    I don't want to use Google or Bing. How can I make show DuckDuckGo (or a similar search engine privacy protection-oriented) as the default option when I search something?

    You must go to settings > search and you should have a form to select your favorite search engine.
    If you're on Firefox OS 1.3 or lower, you cannot change your search engine, Google is the only one.

  • Can I change my default search to google.uk?

    I live in France. I run Ubuntu 14.04 (English version) on a laptop computer in French

    In Firefox if I get a term search in the search box, use Google.com for results.

    It is not useful for me - I really want to use Google.uk

    I tried different ways suggested on the web to change that, but no luck.

    I'm starting to think that it is not possible, because maybe it's Google who made the redirect, not Firefox.

    Any ideas please?
