• Firefox don't forget homepage, theme addons and some settings every time I start my laptop. I tried a lot of difficulties, but none work?

  This issue started happening just after the update to Firefox 42, I think. What happens is that whenever my laptop Windows 10 boots and I start Firefox (and sometimes after the signing and to my Windows profile), the browser acts as if she just updated, and it also checks the compatibility of the addon (see image 1). I get the "Firefox + Windows 10 = perfect set" page and my home page has been reset to "search.domaincentar.com" [see image 2], although it shows a Google logo. My theme and some various browser settings are gone too.

  I have change all these settings back to how they were, but this happens every time that I reboot without fail. Here are the things I've tried:
  Refresh/reset Firefox.
  Create a new Firefox profile.
  Erase a prefs.js and other possible guilty files in my current profile. (no present user.js)
  Completely reinstall Firefox.
  Upgrade to the beta version of Firefox 43.
  Delete the folder %AppData% Mozilla.

  .. .and different combinations of the foregoing. The simple fact is that even after a clean FULL of Firefox on my laptop, including the removal of all my info to a separate location profile, this continues to be. The homepage being reset to a weird search page looks like adware or malware, but I was not able to detect anything via scan or look in my addons. I'm really perplexed and at your mercy.

  This problem does not exist in Safari (but I prefer Firefox!).

• Firefox doesn't remember the settings of the browser.

  Every time I open firefox I reconfigure my preferences (homepage, internet history settings). This only happens when I close all firefox windows and tabs and then reopen firefox. My home page is my igoogle page. When I reopen it firefox it take me to the login page General igoogle. Once I configured to never remember history of the internet then close firefox and reopen the Web history settings go to "use custom settings. I tried everything on https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved without success. There is no user.js file in my profile folder. I ran my antivirus, antimalware, and antispyware programs, McAfee, MalWareBytes, SpybotSearch & Destroy (which are updated) and they are. I also uninstalled firefox and reinstalled without success. It is frustrating increibly. Help, please!

  If you have Firefox put forever history remember it will not record your password for iGoogle (it's like using the incognito Private Browsing - use Firefox without saving history). So in this case Firefox isn't a bad thing. You want to register not history? In this case, you must either change your settings to remove just the history cache with pages, or simply log into iGoogle each time.

• Hijacked network settings (proxy)

  I am running windows 7 and using Firefox 4.0b7.

  Somehow, I got a hold of the "Backdoor:Win32/Rbot.AW / cycbot.b". I ran "Dr.Web CureIt!", then "MalwareBytes". He was found and removed, but now everytime I open Firefox, the connection parameter default to the use of http proxy 127.0.0.1, with a port of 55030 setting.

  I have to go, remove the proxy and reset whenever I run the application
  Firefox. IE, once the backdoor has been removed, opens fine and
  keeps its settings.

  I also noticed in the file named prefs.js, the following lines are displayed and cannot be removed. When I remove them, they reappear as soon as I run the FF application.

  user_pref ("Network.http.Max - persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
  user_pref ("network.proxy.http", "127.0.0.1");
  user_pref ("network.proxy.http_port", 55030);
  user_pref ("network.proxy.type", 1);

  See if this happens with a new profile - just to test it, don't add anything in the new profile.

• "due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings" fixed but still can not visit some sites and the laptop now turns off the coast on me. What should I do?

  I have an Apire one laptop with Windows xp service pace 3. I had to restore it to factory about 3 years ago. Some time after that the sound system began to slow and the Synaptics mouse stop working properly. I can move the pointer, but the left click does not work. It works in safe mode but not in normal windows. I used the Acer eRecovery for correct, but it did not work. I tried to download the driver for the mouse on the internet, but some how it could stop the download. I gave up at tring to fix. Some time in late March or early April, I couldn't access internet and after 22:30. I ran the diagnosis that is provided by internet explore and he said that the HTTP and HTTPS worked but the FTP did not work. AVG later told me my firewall is disabled and there was the possibility to reactivate it and I did. After internet explore stop allowing you to enter certain sites that I wanted to enter, I ran the Diagnostics again and he told me that a firewall client has been the cause of the problem. I tried to control my firewall setting, but had that "due to a problem not identified, windows cannot display the firewall settings". I thought AVG was the problem, so I have unintalled then he returned and attempted to access the firewall but got the same message. I typed in Google MySapce and found this site. I followed a few directions given to others in the thread started by joecarpenter33 and discovered that my firewall has been deleted and Base filtering engine has been deleted also. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes ANti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and tdsskiller. MBAM has found a Trojan. The results of the analysis is less to:

• For some reason not identified, cannot display windows firewall settings

  On startup, I get a pop up Windows Firewall saying that for an unidentified reason, the firewall settings Windows cannot be displayed.

  When I hit ok on that message and try to open the control panel Windows Firewall, the pop-up message would once again, and I won't be able to see the firewall settings.

  This does not happen every time I restart my PC, but most of the time he does.  When this happens, and sometimes if I wait 10 to
  15 minutes and try again to open Firewall Windows from the control panel again, I am able to see my firewall settings.  Could someone help please?

  Thank you.

• Ran Malwarebytes & two threats were each one with the same name: PUM. Disabled.SecurityCenter. fact that associated with MSSE PUM & the boxes unchecked in MS security Center.

  Original title: PUM. Disabled.SecurityCenter

  I recently removed "patch system" of my Dell computer XP. Malwarebyte s was the only software to do. MSSE caught, but couldn't fix it. I then updated & ran MSSE on my Toshiba - no threats not found. I then ran Malwarebytes & two threats were each one with the same name: PUM. Disabled.SecurityCenter both at the Date of the registry in HKLM\SOFTE\Microsfot\SecurityCenter\AntiVirusDisableNotify & HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsfot\securityCenterFirewallDisableNotify.  These two have been listed bad: Good (0) (1).  In the Malwarebytes wesite, I read that this has something to do with MSSE. In a commentary, he says it occurs if, in the MS Security Center, the notification "Notify me if my computer might be at risk because of my virus protection software settings" is unchecked.  I then went ahead & check all 3, firewalls, viruses & automatic updates. My computer seems to work well, except that the fan runs all the time (there are a lot of processes running & the CPU usage is very--often 100%, but the computer works fast).

  My questions are: 1) the PUM associated MSSE & the boxes unchecked in MS security Center; (2) should I click on "ignore" in the Malwarebytes scan? 3) was right to check all the boxes in the center of security - "altert me if my computer may be at rist b/c of my xxx software settings?  Thanks in advance for your help.

• Sound Volume settings do not go below 20% or greater than 70% HELP!

  After restoring my computer using Norton Ghost because of this problem, it happened again after several days and I have no idea why, or how to solve this problem.

  The green light on volume will be not less than 20% and not more than 70% using different volume controls.  This is verified by going to the control panel and looking at the settings of the sound card and all mixer controls accessed through entertainment console commands.

  All of them, no matter how I try to adjust my volume, can't go to zero, full 100%.

  I'm pretty sure that I did not visit all websites would have done anything to my system, although it is not always guaranteed.  I also run Avast Antivirus and Malwarebyte Anti-malware constantly.

  This issue first appeared a few weeks ago, during which, after struggling to set things straight I restored my system and yet tonight no reason apparent.

  When I try to move the cursor under a minimum of 20% is refuse and bounces.  And even more than high 70%.  It's as if some type of compression thing happening automatically as I do not turn.  Not that I know of.

  Everyone heard about this problem before?  How to fix?

  I thought I had discovered a solution.  Don't know how or why it worked, or what has caused this setting initially, but here's what I discovered:

  I went to Windows Media Player after having reviewed the Options tool, judged on the tab DEVICES, speakers highlighted and clicked on PROPERTIES, as the device to use default Directsound device.  I changed it to the map of his Creative Audigy, I have in my office and that seemed to do the trick.

  Yet once, don't know how this has changed or if it has never changed a bad choice, but by changing it ((retour) return) for my Creative Labs Audigy card, fixed levels of sound volume to 0 and 100%.

  = = = = = = = = =

  This post is almost a month after the one above.  This solution (changing the speaker inside Windows Media Player properties) does not work for me.  The problem I wrote originally, returned again tonight, and the difficulty that I thought I had discovered does NOT work.

  Everyone, if you know why the Green level bar can get stuck at 20% to 70% please advise!

  I don't know how to solve this problem.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
