Running OS 10.10.5 and have the popup MacKeeper in Safari and want to eliminate

Trying to get rid of the popup MacKeeper

"Avast" is the worst of the whole miserable lot of commercial products 'security' for the Mac. Not only it fails to protect you against any real danger, it can send data of a personal nature (e.g. historical web navigation and content e-mail messages) back to the developer without your knowledge, give false alarms, destabilize and slow down the computer, you expose a network attack and corrupt the network settings and permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it can not repair all the damage.

Some versions of the product also inject advertising into web pages. In short, apart from the fine print of the license, Avast is not malware and is probably worse than any malware known now in circulation.

Please back up all data and then remove Avast in accordance with the instructionsof the developer. Turn it back on. Never install a software "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.

If you have tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the trash, you need to reinstall, and then follow the link above.

  • The folders have the lock symbol. Don't want locks

    I try to find the .nk2 file in outlook to restore my lists of fill incremented when I start typing a name in the address of an outlook email box.  the problem is that some files have a lock on them like documents and settings symbol.  I keep having to go into advanced for each file to give me permission., I am the only user and a member of the Administrators group.  I'm not all the locks on all the issues.  How can I remove this annoyance overall?

    Hello Zuluflight,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!

    The reason that you run in the files with locks on them is because these folders are junction points. A junction point is a folder that allows programs designed for systems older operating work correctly with the new layout of the folder again.

    For example: Documents and Settings has been changed to users

    Documents and settings and users exist in the form of records and Documents and Settings is a junction pointing to the users folder folder.

    Think that the points of junction is a redirector.

    Unfortunately, you would run problem with programs that are not written to the new file system, so it is recommended not to remove records of junction point.

    Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • I really hate this version 23.0 requires me to have the band to tabs. I want to remove it. I tried to install version 22 of the archive, but it did not work.

    I rarely use tabs; When I work, I prefer individual browser windows. For a single window without tabs, tabs band is clutter and space wasted. Previous versions of FF has allowed me to remove the tape to tabs in the options. Now on v.23 I can't. How very, very boring.

    I tried to install the previous version, v.22, from the archives, but it did not work. I would be grateful a way to remove the band to tabs in v.23, or further instructions for down to v.22

    Thank you.

    The following may not be the only or most effective way to get the view you want, but that's what I saw recommended so far.

    You can ban the entire tab bar, or when only several tabs are open, by using a setting in the Tab Mix Plus extension.

  • How can I have the file name as visible caption on the photo

    I have several hundred digital images that I have edited and saved with a meaningful file name.  I would like to produce a slide show and then burn to DVD with the name of the file as a legend, preferably (but not necessarily) without the file name extension (for example, my photo.jpg would show as 'my picture').

    I (Pinnacle Studio) software that will import photos or DVD, and I'll create my slide show with Studio, since I am familiar with this software, but the Studio does not automatically create captions.  Re-type the captions for each slide will be intensive work and maybe isn't necessary.  I have a couple of programs that will produce a legend using the file name, but they are old and do not have an option to burn a DVD - only to run the slide show from the software owner.  I also Ulead FT 6 and Adobe PS Elements 6.  I am running Vista and have another computer with XP, so I have the photo editing software that comes with those.  I haven't found something that will prepare a folder of photos by file name as legend I can burn on a DVD.

    searching on the Internet I found a few programs for sale that seem to have the ability to do what I want, but I have hundreds of programs, and I don't want to buy another for only this seemingly simple task.  There are shareware/freeware/trialware which will allow me to display the file name as captions for photos and then burn a DVD or create a file that I can burn it with Nero for import into Studio 12 or 14 Studio?

  • How to set the FONT SIZE on Safari 10?

    I use OS X 10.11.6, and I just downloaded Safari 10.0. He seems to have replaced the 'minimum font size' with a "zoom" feature but there is a big problem: if I as large font size that I prefer, the page runs off the screen; If I do the optimal zoom page, the police is too small! So I have to squint as soon as the text continue to slide backwards to see the entire page. It's annoying and stupid. Is there a way to adjust the size of police ALONE?

    Have the same question. Safari 10.0 is USELESS to me if I can't change the font size. Never thought Apple would make such Microsoft (see IE) thing.

  • When you close the popup only proceed

    Hello

    In my fieldChanged(), I ask a pop-up message. The popup has a close button that closes the popup. I don't want the application to perform the work until the context menu does not close. I am not able to do this. The code is:

        public void fieldChanged(Field f, int context) {
            System.out.println("Into ------------ BUTTON CLICKED = " + f + " C0NTEXT = " + context + " btnClicked = " + btnClicked);
            if (f instanceof CheckboxField) {
                CheckboxField cb = (CheckboxField) f;
                // Get details associated with the selected checkbox
                UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            getScreen().getUiEngine().pushScreen(new MessagePopup(mm1));
                            return;
                        }
                    });
                    // Change some data and invalidate
                    if (mm.read == false) {
                        mm.read = true;
                        cb.setCookie(mm);
                        unreadCount -= 1;
                        if (unreadCount < 0)
                            unreadCount = 0;
                        System.out.println("UNREADCOUNT =  " + unreadCount + " ******************* ");
                        inboxBtn.setText("Inbox " + unreadCount);
                        invalidate();
                    }
                    System.out.println("CheckBox Complete");
                 }
            }
    
       // POPUP CLASS
        class MessagePopup extends PopupScreen  implements FieldChangeListener  {
            private BitmapButtonField okBtn;
    
            public MessagePopup(MailMessage mm) {
                super(new VerticalFieldManager(VERTICAL_SCROLL | VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR));
                okBtn = new BitmapButtonField(Bitmap.getBitmapResource("res/cancel_btn.png"));
                okBtn.setChangeListener(this);
                add(new LabelField("Label "));
                add(okBtn);
            }
    
            public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
                if (field == okBtn)
                    this.close();
            }

                if (Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE == key) {
                    this.close();
                    return true;
                } else
                    return super.keyChar(key, status, time);
            }
        }
    

    The output is: popup appears and I see the following SOP

    CheckboxField Selected * READ = false *.
    UNREADCOUNT = 4 *.

    Complete box

    According to me, when I click on the Ok button in the pop-up window and then 2 lines that is below

    UNREADCOUNT = 4 *.

    Complete box

    must be executed.

    No idea how to work with this scenario. Any help is very appreciated.

    Thank you

    As I understand it, you don't want "if(mm.read == false)" to get executed until the screen closes?

    If this is correct then replace "pushScreen' by 'pushModalScreen '. Block screens mode until the screen is closed. You have not need surgery of invokeAndWait from the modal screen will block the execution anyway.

  • How to prevent the popup dialog closes when you click the commandbutton

    Hello

    The application has a popup with the dialog box Cancel to display a table. Users could select the lines using a checkbox and click a CommandButton to backend processing.

    It displays a message (using addMessage) when he chose nothing.

    I would like to have the popup rest so the user could correct their action, but ADF automatically close the popup.

    Is there a way to avoid this?

    If I put the property AutoCancel to false, the popup rest (or rather re-posted), but the message window is hidden, which is defeat it purposes.

    I saw a discussion archived since 2008, but it doesn't have an answer, that's why I opened this thread.
