my area of research has been hijacked by wikipedia. I want google back

The search box (?) on the top right of my screen used to have google in there, so whenever I did a search, he used google default.
There are just a few clicks, it changed to wikipedia... I was not aware of the creation of this... now, if I type a word in there, I get the wikipedia page, which is not at all what I want.
How can I change to google?

  • My default search has been hijacked by Wikipedia?

    My default search from the address bar has been hacked by Wikipedia somehow. Yes I know. Of all things, this diversion orders my research on Wikipedia. Only sometimes, however, not all searches are sent there, and I don't know why. I would expect ask.com maybe, but wikipedia. No lies.

    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.

    Y at - it known malicious software that would redirect to Wikipedia research? Must what steps I take to solve this problem? Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

    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.
    The search engine that is used in the address bar is the search engine that is selected in the Search Bar in the Navigation toolbar.
    You can install the extension of search by keyword to specify with search engine for the address bar and you can select the search engine on the subject: homepage via the windows of this extension, which is accessible via all Options/preferences: addons page.

  • 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.

  • Hotmail contact list has been hijacked on 09/03/2010

    My hotmail contact list has been hijacked on 09/03/2010 and is sending spams (viagra ads) to everyone in my contacts several times.  I can't stop it.  I run Microsoft Essentials, Norton 360 Suite and Malware, changed my password, but it is still happeneing.  Help!  What can I do to stop this?

    Hello

    Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

    It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
    account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
    were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
    who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
    NOT only the answer to the address.

    =============================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

    Hey gerritfrompretoria,

    If you are not prompted to use the new password to your Wi - Fi network when trying to connect, you may have to remove the network on your system. This can be done by the following steps.

    1. Open system preferences in the Apple menu
    2. Choose the network
    3. Select a Wi - Fi connection on the left
    4. Click Advanced... in the bottom right
    5. Choose your network from the list of preferred networks
    6. Click on the '-' at the bottom of the list
    7. Click OK
    8. Click on apply

    Once removed try to connect to your Wi - Fi network normally and you will be prompted for the password.

  • I can do individuals match target areas (as it has tutorials for it), but I want that each of them

    Salvation in drag - move, I can do individual match target areas (as it has tutorials for this) but I want everyone can slip into any target area (and someday I want to create a button which will then each item at the right place).

    can someone help me with it

    I changed your mUp function to allow each movieclip to be placed on any target and be returned to its original position, if it is not on any target. I added the code to a button on the position of each movieclip to the correct target.

    Import fl.transitions.Tween;

    Fl.transitions.easing import. *;

    Table to contain instances of the target, drop cases,

    and drop the starting positions of the bodies.

    var hitArray:Array = new Array (hitTarget1, hitTarget2, hitTarget3);

    var dropArray:Array = new Array (drop1, drop2, drop3);

    var positionsArray:Array = new Array();

    This adds the mouse down and to place the listener in instances of gout

    Add the starting x and y positions of the bodies drop

    in the table.

    for (var i: int = 0; i< droparray.length;="">

    {

    dropArray [i] .buttonMode = true;

    dropArray [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mdown);

    dropArray [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mUp);

    positionsArray.push ({xPos:dropArray [i] .x, yPos:dropArray[i].y});})

    }

    This drags the object that has been selected and moves it;

    to the top of the display list. This means that you can not drag

    This object under what either.

    function mdown(e:MouseEvent):void

    {

    e.currentTarget.startDrag ();

    setChildIndex (MovieClip (e.currentTarget), numChildren - 1);

    }

    This prevents the movement of the selected object when the mouse is

    out. If the object is moved on the corresponding target

    can he get to x and y position of the target. In the opposite case

    He returned to its original position.

    function mUp(e:MouseEvent):void

    {

    var dropIndex:int = dropArray.indexOf (e.currentTarget);

    var target: MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;

    target.stopDrag ();

    for (var i: String in hitArray)

    {

    If (target.hitTestObject (hitArray [i]))

    {

    Target.x = hitArray [i] .x;

    Target.y = hitArray [i] there;

    return;

    }

    }

    Target.x = positionsArray [dropIndex] .xPos;

    Target.y = positionsArray [dropIndex] .yPos;

    }

    Low is the instance name of the new button to reposition each

    mobile MovieClip to the correct target element

    setRight.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, reset);

    This function moves each movieclip to the right target using an interpolation

    function reset(event:MouseEvent):void {}

    for {(var n: String in dropArray)

    var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(dropArray[n],"x",Strong.easeOut,dropArray[n].x,hitArray[n].x,3,true);

    var myTweenY:Tween = new Tween(dropArray[n],"y",Strong.easeOut,dropArray[n].y,hitArray[n].y,3,true);

    }

    }

    I've updated Auslogics Registry Cleaner. Companion Web of Lavasoft has been automatically downloaded and installed on my computer.

I was able to stop this behavior by removing the choice of search engine Bing. Now my home page opens automatically in the new tab when I click on the + to open a new tab.

    Hi cjoyner66,

    Thanks for posting. I'm confused on 6 discs A you're talking about. Windows XP can not hold on 6 floppy disks if that's what you are referring. If the hard disk has been deleted, you will need to use your Windows XP disk and reinstall Windows using this disk and the key associated with this record. If you don't have XP media, you must contact the OEM of your computer or buy an extra copy of the XP.
