Prevents unsolicited opening Web sites?

I use Firefox 25.0 as default and running Windows 7. When on the internet whenever I click on an email to open it or click on an article with video content that I get another Web site, for example Vube.com, or Arcadehits (something of this nature) open either behind or in front of the window, I need to use. This becomes more intrusive. I scanned the computer with two anti-spyware/malware programs that found problems, but that does not stop the problem. I deleted all the programs and downloads that I do not recognize or do not want more once again without success. All solutions anyone?

Hello Philgowls, please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the addon OKitSpace 1.0.1 - it has a pretty bad reputation when google you it and is often associated with malicious software.

I don't know what tools you used to scan your system so far but for symptoms indicating that adware is active on the system I would recommend especially for free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  • Hi, after updating to Firefox v 10.0 I can no longer open Web sites by entering the address in the address bar. The site looks ok because it works in the Solution Explorer, what's the problem?

    I get the adresse_web in the toolbar, but Firefox does nothing, it just locks. It only opens Web sites when I choose one of the Favorites.

    This problem may be caused by an extension (possibly AVG Safe Search) which does not work properly.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Unable to open web sites

    Today, I was unable to open two Web sites:

    (1) my, connect to Hotmail a/c

    and

    (2) my connect you to American Express.

    I normally access them both by a bookmark. When I try to do, the address of the web site appears in the box "go to" Firefox - but nothing happens then.

    If I try to access it using an address of google or opera - the same thing happens.

    It didn't happen, yesterday!

    All of my other favorites work very well, like any link via a search engine. With the exception of these two!

    This does not happen when using my iPad. Two work sites are very good work as usual.

    Reboots etc have not solved this

    Any suggestions please?

    iMac @7ins

    El Capital 10.11.6

    go to the sites directly from a search on the web and to check that the URL in your bookmarks is valid

    You can also clean the browsers cache.

  • How can I stop firefox open Web sites related to my search?

    Hello.

    I'm having a problem with firefox and it's getting really annoying.

    When I search something in the upper right search box, Firefox opens a Web site with my research already established in the site (e.g. ebay or amazon, but it is irrelevant because I am looking something like "How do I ") but I don't want to do that, he has never opened a site I want.

    I also disabled at each outside of google's search engine within the parameters of "search".

    I also refreshed firefox and reinstalled several times.

    Thank you

    I scanned my computer against virus and malware using a lot of programs, but this has not fixed this annoying problem.

    This will stop and remove netcut and the problem of redirection.
    I tested in vmware and I sent the guy who did netcut and also posted it on cnet downloads.

    No antivurs or malware program it will pick up, I think that it down to the activepacket.dll

  • After update I can not open Web sites other than facebook and youtube on my mac? Help! He says: connection refused.

    Hey after update of OS X El Capitan my laptop is unable to connect to internet via wifi except a few sites as Facebook and Youtube other than that none of the Web sites open on one of the browsers I tried to reinstall it but nothing happened, wifi works fine on all my other devices and internet are functioning normally If I connect to my mac on a LAN Port. Help why this phenomenon happens?

    Open System/Network preferences window and click on the Advanced button.  In the next window, click on the DNS button and see what is listed as a DNS server.

    You can try to use the OpenDNS servers by entering these two addresses:

    208.67.222.222

    208.67.220.220

    Save the changes, restart and relaunched Safari.  If you delete these addresses the default address will be back.

  • Qosmio G35: Cannot open Web sites when WEP is set

    I have a Qosmio G35, I have no problem connecting to unsecure networks, but whenever I have to enter a WEP key, it says I am connected but when I open internet Explorer, I am unable to view all of the Web sites.

    Sometimes just with the normal message that you get when you have no connection "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried ping the server and that has worked well.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    > I have a Qosmio G35, I have no problem connecting to unsecure networks,
    I suppose that the work of internet connection also with no problem when the WEP encryption is NOT defined

    Well, I put t know exactly why the problem appears, but I think that it is a software problem and that's why you should try to update the WLan driver.

    I put t know what Wlan card you use, but perhaps also a WLan Intel card. So check the site of Intel support for some updates.
    If you n t use the Intel Proset Wlan tool for wireless setup so download and try to establish a connection with this utility.

  • Office shortcuts that open web sites no longer work after the update

    After the last MS update for office my desktop shortcut icons that go to Web sites do not work... they open MS FrontPage? The shortcuts that installed programs work very well... only those who are open to something on the internet are affected and open the front cover.  I did a system restore and the shortcuts work now but I can't install updates.  What happened twice with the two latest Office updates... I have office 2010.  Updates did not affect my laptop that has the same programs installed, just my counter top.

    Thank you... problem fixed... Here's what happened... After reading your instructions, I realized that http, https and ftp even not included in ther Protocol extensions below or anywhere?  After some research, I learned that this can occur after you uninstall Chrome that I recently did, did not chrome at all... so I put IE as default browser and these three extensions have emerged then I reset the Firefox browser... the problem is solved... these 3 extensions were not in the protocols causing my Office to open in first page shortcuts... Thank you very much

  • problem opening Web site with webvpn

    I have without client configured on my ASA5505 webvpn.

    Most Web site can be opend when you use Webvpn.

    But when I opened a Web site, like youtube or google, I get the message "Failed to connect Server - youtube.com - unavailable."

    When I open the Web site to the ip address no problem.

    I discovered that Web site which the ipv6 and ipv4 addresses are unavailable and website with ipv4 addresses are only available.

    My ASA has an ipv6 address.

    Does anyone know how to make this work?

    I looked over your config and I saw config IPv6 on Vlan1. Can you please turn it off? It is useless when you do not use v6 on your if outside and causes DNS problems, because v6 responses are preferred.

  • Firefox extremely slow, not open web sites correctly. Especially in the last 24 hours.

    In the last 24 hours (from April 27), FF4.0 became incredibly slow, unable to open many sites completely or correctly (i.e., BBC NEWS, Twitter) or the opening of sites but not able to use fully (i.e. opens hotmail but did not open any new messages). This is not the case with Chrome or I.e. browsers seems to be specific FF.

    This is probably due to the WangWang (ww-plugin), you have installed. Disable it in Tools | Add ons | Plugins and then see troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve problems of Firefox for instructions on how to uninstall it.

    Please also go to the Plugins check page and see if the version of Flash you have installed currently needs to be updated or not. I don't recognize the version you have installed.

    If the problem persists after the above troubleshooting steps, please try running Firefox in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode. If it works properly in this configuration, then one of your modules is the culprit.
