Problems of Firefox and AVG dialog

I have a weird problem that just started today. My antiviris AVG program maintains the opening of dialog boxes to download what it claims it's a file cpm.htm, described as a file HTML Firefox and coming from cpm.avg.com. Box asks if I want to download the file. I can't close the unhappy things if I close one, another opens, it's like dealing with the head of Medusa.
It doesn't seem to be any email support for AVG, just a USA phone number (I'm in the United Kingdom). Did somebody encountered this problem? I guess it's a virus, but none of my 'tools' have found anything (SpyBot, Malware Winzip).

Problem is now solved. It was an AVG issue and not Firefox but necessary remote tech support for AVG to kill the problem.

    I'm having a lot of problems with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It all started when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of advertising popups, I can't play a game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I get a popup of AVG on the cookies that I can't get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome quite often, although I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and find nothing. How can I get personalized technical help? These problems will not occur in Chrome at all. Thank you.

    Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.

    You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

  • I can't get into my yahoo favorites. I spent time with AT & T and the conclusion, they have come to is that it can be a problem with Firefox and yahoo. Help please

    I use a laptop computer HP NOT mobile. Whenever I try to go into my favorites YAHOO that it asks me to sign in which I'm doing nothing does not. AT & T came to the conclusion that maybe it's that Firefox and Yahoo do not work together. I just downloaded the latest versions of Firefox and toolbar yahoo again without success. Is there something with Firefox that prevents me to enter my yahoo Favorites?

    You have the box checked for automatic private browsing mode? In this case, when you open the Options dialog box, the drop-down list usually said "conservation rules: don't remember history. In this mode, Firefox does not retain your Yahoo cookie between sessions, which would explain the problem.

    Note: If you uncheck this box and start in normal mode, you can still create private windows via the menu or with Ctrl + Shift + p.

    If the problem is not caused by a parameter of Firefox, it is possible that an add-on or software external is clear your cookies between sessions.

  • Problems with firefox and new Seagate SSHD

    I recently installed a new Seagate 1 TB SSHD into my computer, it's the new generation of hard drives with built in 8 GB SSD cache. I cloned my old install and everything seemed to work ok

    I use firefox with Yahoo answers and regularly answering questions. If I answer a question and press on submit my answer is displayed correctly. If I then try to change my answer and press on submit again that my initial response is displayed and not my answer updated. If I change my answer once again the update response appears after one or two attempts. It seems that there is a problem with the way firefox and this new drive interact with each other.
    I uninstalled firefox and deleted all associated data files and made a new installation that actually no difference
    I am running version FF 26
    Windows 7 64 bit
    4 GB OF RAM
    AMD Athon x 2 64 6000 dual core

    The problem did not happen with my original hard drive, nor is it with Internet explorer or Chrome
    I have suggestions would be appreciated.

    David Gaguine

    Thanks, but my router does not have a cache and it does not explain why the problem started with the SSHD and is OK with a standard SATA drive.

    Clear the history after that outputs FF has not worked.

    I think I'll contact seagate support and see if they have similar reports or waiting for the firmware for the drive update

    David

    P.S. I have now to lower my head in shame, I discovered that the problem occurs on other machines, it must be something to do with my network or on the Yahoo site itself not FF or new hard drive happily.

    I apologize for wasting everyone's time

  • getURL problem with Firefox and Safari

    I use getURL to GET and SEND on a named window. The window is the parent window of the pop-up window that contains the swf file.

    I checked if the window is named what I think it is, (I use javascript window.name = "myname" in the main window) and I use the name of the window in the getURL.

    Properly applies to the GET and messages to the window called when I use IE or Opera, but Firefox and Safari spawn new windows every time, instead.

    Is this a known problem, and is there a work around?

    Suggestions would be very appreciated!

    Thank you!

    So, I thought about it.

    It was a security issue. If the pop-up window and the main window are not in the same domain (which was the case here), Firefox and Safari won't let not the child window target parent. Instead, it creates a new window. I don't know why this would be considered to be best in terms of security, but it's what he does.

    The solution was to make the popup has the same domain as the parent.

  • When using Firefox I get popups frequent AVG Antivirus saying that Firefox uses an excessive amount of memory - is this a problem with Firefox or AVG or something else?

    Using Windows 7 with all updates. Computer has 6 GB of ram and has no problems with other sites

    If these messages back, see AVG support on how to increase the threshold trigger the trigger for this message. With 6 GB of RAM, there is no reason for Firefox using less than 10% of your RAM to be a problem and cause this message appears. IMO, the alarm should not trigger up to about 50%.

  • problem Windows xp and avg internet security

    Program AVG Internet Security - AVG PC Tune Up - changed/corrupted my Windows Defragmenter program.  Before downloading the free version of this Tune Up program that I had always used the drive Windows Cleanup and Defragmenter programs. When I now try to defragment my files I get the following message when I try to analyse the "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c). Please run Chkdsk/f.

    AVG 2 offer help options a) contact Microsoft) b computer restoration to date before you download Tune Up.

    Do not use my computer for anything else on internet purchases, store my pictures, my banking and the strange E-mail but does not want to resume a year.  All of the suggestions. I have disinstalled program AVG PC Tune Up months trying to make my computer run faster.  AVG informed me that my security bought 18 month program there is need the upgrade and that is why its doing all my programs so slow.  I don't have any computer talk or knows anything much about them (code of machine 20 years ago!)

    (a) contacting Microsoft won't help you
    (b) restore your computer won't help you

    The problem is your HARD drive has been marked "sale" and you cannot defragment a dirty volume.

    Your HARD drive may have been marked dirty of a power interruption, using the power button, pulling the plug, abnormal termination, aborted reboot, etc..

    You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type this command:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    No amount of order entry, no amount of editing the registry deletes the on a volume's dirty bit (sorry that Microsoft committed 'experts' Support Engineer)

    Only a chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r) can clear the dirty bit, and it might not work the first time.

    To run chkdsk/r, click on start, run and enter in the box:

    Chkdsk /r

    Click OK and the answer you want volume checked on next reboot (restart of course).

    This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

    When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do it yourself, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log and no problems after running chkdsk.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001
    Description:

    Checking file system on C:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.
    A disk check has been programmed.
    Windows will now check the disk.
    39070048 KB total disk space.
    25151976 KB in 78653 files.
    48256 KB in 10264 index.
    0 KB in bad sectors.
    237080 KB in use by the system.
    65536 KB occupied by the log file.
    13632736 KB available on disk.
    Windows has finished checking your disk.

    If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, run chkdsk /r again until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

    Check again the dirty bit.  Rinse and repeat if you wish.

  • MouseOver problem with Firefox and Flash Player 11.0.1.152

    In my office 2 people have improved their Flashplayer to version 11.0.1.152 for Firefox 3.6.23 and actions of mouseover who has worked previously have stop working. Two others of us are running the same operating system and the browser but version 10 of Flash Player and everything works fine. It seems to work very well on Mac/Safari and Mac/Chrome with Flash Player 11.

    This combination works as expected:

    Mac OS 10.6.8

    FireFox 3.6.23

    Flash Player 10.3.183.1

    This combination mouseovers to fail:

    Mac OS 10.6.8

    FireFox 3.6.23

    Flash Player 11.0.1.152

    Here are 2 examples of sites where we have had this experience:

    http://designdelgiorno.com/BC/timeline : Hover over the thumbnails. A gray border should appear on mouseover. I coded it using AS3 published for Flash Player 10 and standard event MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER listener. I tried to change to MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER and got the same results.  I also tried to publish for Flash Player 9 with the same results.

    http://at.BC.edu/portfoliooctober2011/ : Mouseover "Portfolio Archive" link at the bottom on the right. Animation should happen.

    On a machine we uninstalled Flash Player 11 and re-installed 10.3.183.10 and that fixed the problem, but of course we cannot control Internet users.

    Everyone knows this? Can anyone reproduce this error? Is there a solution of coding I can apply?

    Thank you

    Yes, this is a known issue, you will need to upgrade your firefox to the latest version. Flash Player 11.0.1.152 no longer support Firefox 3.6 on Mac.

    Here are the details on the minimum system requirements for configuration: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html

  • Instability of screen under Firefox and Netscape

    I have a problem under Firefox and Netscape.
    I use an automatic margin left and right. All work fine under IE.
    But this is wrong under Firefox and Netscape.
    When the screen is short, fine also. But when I dispay a long screen after a short, the screen is not stable and it moves a little left.
    To understand, you can go to http://www.tregor.fr and try the following two menus:
    -Heritage/megaliths-> screen short-> OK,
    -Heritage/chapels-> movements of the screen a few pixels to the left.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thank you very much.

    I'm having a problem with Firefox and download Word doc files. Here is the code:

    < cffile accept = "application/msword, application/pdf, text/html, text/htm" action = "upload" destination = "" #base # "nameconflict ="makeunique"filefield ="fileName">"

    It works very well for IE 6 & 7.
