Safari has been blocked by a pop-up message?

Yes, so my Safari was just blocked by a pop-up message stating that I need to contact a special issue with Apple, but of course I did not think, it is a fraud... My only possible action was to cmd + Q and lose all my work... I could not click anything or cmd + W page!

Anyone tried this before?

It is a very common scam of javascript and is safe, unless you follow the instructions.

Force to leave, then restart Safari with the SHIFT key is pressed.

  • BlackBerry smartphone App Inaccessible World - Error Message "App World has been blocked"

    Dear all,

    I recently bought one of mark Sprint Blackberry Curve 9350 (in excellent condition) on Amazon, and the phone is fully functional, except that whenever I try to access the Blackberry App World I get a pop-up message reading "App World has been blocked".

    At first, when I changed my line of Sprint prior to my new curve, the phone has completely wiped and reset.  I started to use the various functions and only a few days later, realized that I can't access App World.  I talk to several representatives of Sprint and in the few days has taken the following steps, all without success:

    Uninstalled and reinstalled App World

    Do you have a Batt pull with the phone on, uninstalled and reinstalled App World and made another Batt-sweater

    Addict connected the phone to my laptop computer and uninstalled App World via Blackberry Desktop Manager

    As I bought the phone on Amazon, I do not think the guaranteed protection applies.  However, it seems incongruous that all other applications and the phone features work, with the exception of the App World.

    Could someone please suggest measures to address the problem and to App World accessible?

    Also, could someone please advise if I can bypass the App World app and install Blackberry apps on the curve directly through the Blackberry Desktop Manager and, if so, what steps are?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Colby

    Hello

    From this description, I suspect that a latent policy is on your BB that blocks AW. Normally, the error message would say more than that you reported and would be more indicative... but it's I think of what you have provided.

    To clean, you have actually several things you need to do... from checking to see if it is indeed the case:

    • KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    Unfortunately, there are also a few situations with 'stealth' COMPUTER strategies that exist, but are not actually display as per the above. Again, the complete error message may have provided a better hint this topic.

    However, I think you need to take steps in any case, especially in light of your method of supply. Reference:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    Although it may look as if someone has or do you a lot of that, I think you need to see it again to be sure. None of these methods to WIPE would actually have relatively far BB COMPUTING policy. Instead, you must run the ResetToFactory process, which I recommend you do instead of (or in addition to) the WIPE which recommends the KB:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    In addition, you must be careful if you have already placed on the BB data that you need to maintain. You can backup/restore your device before and after these wipes, but you must be careful when you restore... don't do a full restore or you will simply put the return policy on board IT again. On the contrary, do a selective restore only the databases that you need and be 100% sure to avoid any database which have nothing to do with politics:

    • KB03974 List of database for the blackBerry smartphone

    Finally... given this situation, it is quite possible that there are additional challenges with this specific BB. For example, if the BRI account is locked due to the BB being previously reported as lost or stolen, nothing don't you can do about it, and you will never be able to have all the services. But Orange should definitely be able to tell if that is the case.

    These methods exist:

    • KB14473 How to install an application on a smart phone BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Desktop Software
    • KB04670 Install a third-party application with the Application Loader
    • KB28715 How to install BlackBerry App World applications, using a computer system

    However, there is no way of knowing if the it policy will also block these methods.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • How to install firefox on windows 7 after warning "this publishing house has been blocked.

    Here's the story back in case it helps... I have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10, had many problems of performance with 10 windows and reinstalled windows 7. After the reinstallation, I tried again to download mozilla firefox and install the browser. When I try to run the installer for firefox I get a message that says: "this publishing house has been blocked to run the software on your machine." The only option is to click on 'OK '. It is impossible to ignore the security warning and proceed with the installation. I had no difficulty to install any other software (IE and Chrome included).
    I tried to start windows in safe mode, but I still get the same caveat. I have administrator privileges when running the installation program. I found other forums dealing with similar problems, but have not found a solution for my specific case yet. I've attached a screenshot of the security warning window, so you can see there is no way to move forward. If I click on the help link on windows, it's not going anywhere.

    Well, I had an "ah-ha" moment and the fix was very simple. Not sure why it escaped me that long, but you can right click on the Setup file, select 'Properties' and on the 'Général' tab, there is a button "Unblock" the file. Yet, after this step, I was not able to run the Setup program. For some unknown reason, my role as an administrator is all messed up, but it is a different matter. To ignore the warnings of the editor blocked after release of the program, you must run the Setup program from the command with administrator privileges prompt. GoTo START-> all programs-> Accessories... right click on "Command prompt" and click "Run as Administrator", click 'Yes' If you get warnings of user account control to run the program. Once the command prompt opens in a new window cd to the directory containing your fireforx installation file and run it. This fixed my issue.

  • Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes

    Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes.
    I unintalled (on my MAC) and reinstalled twice. Makes no difference. Any suggestions?

    Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.

  • 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.
