Popup wouldn't let me close.

I was on a website (may not been the safest) and a popup came. He wouldn't let me go outside by clicking on the red x, but had only two options that says: stay , then leave the page. Leave page button was blue and white stay normal. I clicked on the page of the authorization and the popup went. IM afraid that by clicking on the blue button page let I installed malicious software or provided access to my computer to someone. These are legitamite concerns and if so it would be smart to install something like bit defender?

You have nothing to fear in what concerns by clicking on this button "exit page".

OSX has already built systems of protection and trawling through these forums is anti-malware applications additional third cause more problems than they solve. Your best defense is common sense (do not download and install something you do not or that comes from one source other than directly from the website of the developer of the application. Also never trust any Web page that warns you have been infected by a virus or an unsolicited phone call.)

    my computer wouldn't let me download lime wire... and every time I try a security alert appears.

    Hi juannfallen,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups. I suggest you try these options:

    The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.

    For more information, visit the Microsoft Web sites at the following address and check if the Windows or Windows Defender firewall is causing this problem. It is suggested to make changes and to allow certain applications to run through these by the use of exceptions rather than turn them which can cause serious problems for the security of the computer:

    1 explore the features: Windows Firewall

    2. turn Windows Firewall on or off

    3. Understanding Windows Firewall settings

    4 explore the features: Windows Security Center

    5. using Windows Defender

    6. turn Windows Defender on or off

    7 Windows Vista: antispyware software - Microsoft Security

    8 real-time protection real turn Windows Defender or disable

    If the problem persists, return with the following details:

    1: name of the security of the software

    2: exact security alert

    Let me know if it works. Good luck!

    Hope this information is useful.

  • When I close a tab, a vacuum opens it won't let me close. How can I stop this?

    It started a few days ago and there is nothing too serious, but it is kind of annoying. If I have two tabs open and close one, a new empty tab opens. I try to close it, but it doesn't let me, however, he lets me browse on this tab, simply not close. I tried to disable Add - ons, and that did not work. Sometimes I want to just a tab open, but it just won't let me open only a single tab.

    I have Firefox version 31.0 and I use Windows 7, if that helps.

  • Firefox is frozen, does not and will not let me close iMac.

    A few days ago, I installed Evernote. Who made sure my iMac would never close or go to sleep or restart for Evernote wanted to continue to run all the time. Firefox has now stopped responding. I can't open Firefox, I can close, neither can I stop, restart or log on my iMac. I guess it could be related to Evernote, but I can't find a way to uninstall Evernote. I don't know how to go in Safe Mode on the iMac. Two months ago, I upgraded the software to the Mavericks and have had problems since. Safari is the only browser that works now. I read that I have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but do not see how, because I can't open Firefox to get help on the toolbar for Firefox. I don't see the toolbar of Safari. I can not open help and consult the troubleshooting information because I'm not in Firefox, I'm in Safari.

    Hello

    Looks like you have several programs blocked (not answer). Here are the instructions from Apple to "force them to leave" applications that don't respond - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411

    If you still can not shut down your computer after you try this, you can press on and press and hold the button for a few seconds and the computer turns off.

    It is likely that once you can shut down the computer and then restart it, Evernote and Firefox and other programs will behave normally.

  • I CAN'T CLOSE THE FIRST TAB WHEN I GET SOMETHING OR CLOSE A TAB SECOND HE WON'T LET ME CLOSE THE FIRST TAB

    I CAN'T CLOSE THE FIRST TAB, AFTER I TYPED IN A SEARCH

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    == I UPGRADED TO 3.6

    Is it possible that an extension is causing the problem?

    Try to start Firefox in safe mode to disable all extensions to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, try disabling an extension at a time to see which one is causing the problem, and then turn it off for good and contact its author for support.

  • Why Microsoft doesn't let me close my hotmail account?

    I followed all the links to close my Hotmail account. I don't have billing with Hotmail services. I have not all accounts Microsoft Points. I want to delete the account. How can I do this? You should know that I already followed the procedure from "close your account" under the options of Hotmail.

    Finally I get to the page where I am asked to "verify your identity to close the account." Then I entered the password and click on 'yes '. The next page shows the following:

    Cannot close your e-mail account.
    One or more paid services or a Microsoft Points account is linked to your account. To close this account, make sure each service is canceled and your Microsoft Points account is closed.

    Since I don't have a paid services or Microsoft Points account, I click on "close your account."

    The next page says:

    "To close your Windows Live Hotmail account, you must first cancel your billing department. Go to Services and billing Microsoft Account at https://billing.microsoft.com. »

    I click on the link above. The next page says:

    "No invoice account. This Windows Live ID currently not a billing relationship with Microsoft. »

    Nothing happens. My account is still open. Please notify. Thank you.

  • Remove warning popup message using js to close a window

    How can I remove the pop-up "warning" message when I invoke js 'self. "Close" to close a window?

    I didn't pop - up for many years - but basically, you can't close a window if the window has not been opened by script (you can close on IE, but with the security warning.) This is why you may be able to "trick" the browser by opening and closing at the same time: http://blog.clauskonrad.net/2010/01/how-to-close-browser-window-without.html

    Not sure if this old hack working for current browsers.

  • Animation in a popup to stop when it closes

    I created a component that is added as a pop up to create a modal window when the user is waiting for data from the server. Is that everything works well, the problem I have is at this time the pop up is removed.

    To rotate the image from loading I increment an int value 5 then do rotate the image, and then call the function again so it runs constantly.

    Using an instruction trace that I realized the animation continues to be followed even if the pop up has been removed.

    How to stop what is happening when the pop up is removed?

    This is my code of popup component window.

  • I have reinstalled the OS on my computer and Firefox wouldn't let sign me in sync, I created a new account and have lost all my info previous synched - help!

    I just reinstall the operating system on my computer. I downloaded the latest version of Firefox and tried to connect to synch - I have no other devices connected outside of the computer, I just cleaned so I was unable to pair. I tried using the recovery key, but it would not allow me to continue. I tried to log in again, and then he said that my email didn't have an account. I created a new account with the same email that I used before and now none of my info (bookmarks / prefs / plugins) are here! Please help me to recover my previous Info!

    Sorry, but the action to create a new synchronization with the same account caused e-mail address your data from the server. In addition, 'coupling' and the 'Sync' button has not been used in over a year, with 28 Firefox being the last version to use the old version of Sync. Then it uses Sync on a device as a backup, something that Sync was not intended to do service

    Any chance that you have an old Time Machine backup?
