Made an update of Firefox, now flooded with ads google reader and media

A few days ago, I made an update of Firefox and from any Web site, I go then, I have huge, flashing, distracting ads Google work at home and the classified ads in Media Player, two malware. I managed to run a program that reduced the number of them on every page, but nothing has managed to get rid of all. Extremely annoying, is - that you can do or think could help? Also pages load very, very slowly.

Thank you for any assistance you can give.

    I find it peculiar that you just bought a HP computer brand new, still-in-the-box, which came with Windows 8, not 8.1, preinstalled Windows. That said, cross your fingers, roll up your sleeves and try the fix following multiple step, I cooked up just for your computer...

    ACTIONS

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline.  IMPORTANT => NO SKIP & perform all steps in one uninterrupted session!  [If a step said to restart, restart! ]

    1 right-click on the link, select SAVE TARGET as.... & download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above and select run as administrator to run the Norton utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. right-click on the following link and save the download to your desktop: ie8 - rereg.all.zip [1]

    4B. right click on the file that you saved in # 4 has & select EXTRACT ALL. This will create a new folder in Office also appointed ie8 - rereg.all. The folder contains both scripts below (plus a third that will NOT be).

    Note-online scripts are good for IE9, IE10 & IE11, too,

    5. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the task bar), open the folder created in step # 4 b above & double-click on the file named ie8 - rereg.32on64.cmd to run the script.

    5 b. Repeat this for the file named ie8 - rereg.64on64.cmd then restart.

    6. reset Internet Explorer by the MANUAL of instructions on this page-online http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

    Note => for best results, check the option Remove personal settings .

    7 run the Windows Update Troubleshooter from start to finish by the first paragraph on this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates [2]

    8. restart once more then test by launching a manual check of updates & see if KB2887069 any/all others updated and allows to install now. Follow all the instructions.

    9. assuming all went well, see if Windows 8.1 is available through the store Windows and, if so, if it will be properly installed. Still, follow all the instructions.


    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/update-from-Windows-8-tutorial
  • What's new in Win8.1?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/whats-new
  • 10. assuming that Win8.1 is now installed, perform another manual check for updates & install all Security updates offered (if any); Follow all the instructions.

    11. in response to this post with a status report. Also confirm (hopefully) that Windows 8.1 has been installed successfully.

    Good luck!

  • When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader Windows Media Center automatically appears.

    When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader, windows media center automatically opens. How to prevent this? I just want to open the PDF file with Acrobat reader.

    The solution I think. If you right-click on one of the files and select open the file locations it now combined the file with adobe reader.

    Yes - you simply need to change the associated file (and path) back to Adobe Reader.  (If that's your choice PDF reader.)

    If you did this:

    Press the Windows Logo and R key at the same time to bring up the dialog box RUN.
    Once you have the dialog box up, type in the following command and press OK...

    cmd /k ftype AcroExch.Document

    That he return with? Should be something like:

    AcroExch.Document = "C:\Program files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" '%1'

  • So the update I see for Firefox now compatible with 1Password 7.0.1?

    I was not being updated for Firefox 6 because I saw he had problems with 1Password, and I use this application all the time. The update now available, 7.0.1 will play nice with 1Password?

    Thank you.

  • I refreshed Firefox, now all my Add-ons disappeared and worst parameters associated with them are gone too. Where I could find to put the 'old'?

    At the suggestion of Firefox, I refreshed, now all my Add-ons disappeared and worst parameters associated with them are gone too. Where I could find to put the 'old'?

    When updating Firefox, it creates a folder on the desktop called "old Firefox data." According to Firefox, it's when my old settings were saved. The question to the community, it is where I can move some of these old settings (and what are those FireFPT) to restore my old settings. Time Machine using nothing else that place an old version of FireFox in my app folder.

    I have several clients and staff that need to be restored as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    The best recommendation I can do for your plugins is to visit:

  • I am redirected to a fake site of Mozilla, saying that I need to update to Firefox. Also weird ads are now on Web sites where they were not before.

    When I visit amazon.com a strange announcement is on the bottom that does not belong. When I click in the search box, it opens a new tab saying I need to update my firefox. Still in the fine print it says that it is not affiliated with Mozilla. Ads are also on sites that do not have ads built on their site.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the strange extra disappears. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Since the new update of firefox, I lost my pop up blocker and impossible to reinstall, my home page to open when I click on the n of the firefox browser cannot set

    Since the new update of firefox, I can't put my home page, it opens to a blank screen, I also lost my pop up blocker and I can't reinstall restore my computer to an earlier point and still can not set my homepage and restore my pop-up blocker. I tried all the suggestions and I still have this problem. Can you help me or do I uninstall mozilla firefox.

    Then:
    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:

        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • Error message indicates the computer needs to restart full o updated to Firefox, but has been restarted several times and won't uninstall.

    The user whose machine they exist the problem doesn't have administrator rights. Firefox 5 detected a version upgrade (version 17) while she allowed him to continue. He did not, but since then, Firefox has not worked at all. It displays an error message"your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to restart now. "I managed to remove the 17 version using Windows Add/Remove Programs, but add/remove programs show an installer, icon, not a normal program icon." The machine is a HP8000 running Windows XP SP3

    Thanks for the replies folks. I solved the problem by renaming the Mozilla Firefox folder like old Mozilla Firefox, and then return to add/remove programs to remove the element that resembled an installation program. I thn restarted the PC and reinstalled Firefox 17 from scratch. It worked perfectly. The user favorites are still maintained.

  • Last update of firefox is compatible with PC Matic protection?

    I continue to prompt to upgrade to the latest version, but I want to know before I update, if the protection PC Matic is compatible?
    I had a different protection and firefox would not let many of the addons work.

    The current version is Firefox 37.0.2.
    You already 37 of Firefox, so if it works for you with this version update shouldn't be a problem.

    Make sure that you update only via help > topic

    If you get a pop-up message asking to put plugins or Firefox updated or anti-malware analysis then this message probably is a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.

    • Don't update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.
    • Plugins should be updated only through the plugin itself, or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
  • It seems that the update of Firefox causes problems with the Mac. Should I upgrade to 4.0.1 if it works? I have a Macbook Pro and you have upgraded to Lion.

    I tried to update to FF, since I got Snow Leopard and he just kept spinning and cannot connect. Now I see that maybe there is a good reason.
