The problem occurs on a different computer?

If so, it is likely that the site and not on your computer.

The problem occurs when Safari starts in safe mode?  (Hold down the SHIFT key when you launch Safari)

If not, the problem is due to the third party plugins or extensions.

If so, erase history and the Safari Web site then restart in safe mode.

    original title; I had to get an update for C++ (kb2565063), 05/01/2012, or is it some kind of malware?  My configurations have been lost since then.

    My configurations have been lost since then. Half the time, automatic updates does not work, in any case. I gave to this question for centuries. 'Dxdiag' tells me things I don't believe, and there is no information system. Device Manager seems to work only when it wants to. My screen resolution has changed and I can't fix it. The icons are larger and the entire screen looks like to *! In fact, I can't even says the word "*" in this forum. I guess that my mouse settings have been too foires.

  • Got a recurring pop-up with the firefox logo, pop ups disabled window. some kind of malicious program

    Recently a kind of male-ware jumped to the top of windows when I do a secondary tab or click on a piece of information or something like. Also get a video ad in the lower right. These appear to occur separately. I followed the steps outlined in the help section. Downloaded Malwarebytes, it ran, still having the problem. Reset computer to a previous date. Still having the problem. Pop-up window comes up with the firefox logo in the corner. Takes too long to load, I usually close it until I can see what the devil is really. To appear a lot tho and really become a problem.
    Help, please.
    Thank you

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of. I realized that malwarebytes is on the list, but try others. If push comes to shove, you may be forced to be:
    At littera Do this first) UNINSTALL FIREFOX WARNING: THIS WILL REMOVE ALL OF YOUR FIREFOX INFORMATION! IT CAN BE HIDDEN IN YOUR FIREFOX DATA TROJAN HORSE AS SOME VIRUSES TARGET SPECIFIC BROWSERS!

    (B) remove your computer to a specialist. They will know what to do, because this seems to be a malware problem, not a problem of Firefox.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

  • my firefox keeps reseting whenever I close all the options, I changed to this topic to reset to the default values, why? is this some kind of error? IM using windows xp

    Well whenever I use firefox I have watch some youtube vids watch stuff on jtv, maybe even play some runescape and then after that I have quit firefox everything resets to the default values, and I don't know why it does this I have scanned my computer with anti virus/malware/spyware and nothing seemed

    These steps help?

    • Rename the * prefs.js in the profile folder in * prefs_2.js (for backup, but Firefox would not be able to see them).
    • Exit Firefox via file - Exit menu;
    • Restart Firefox, look for the question.
  • Some kind of an API for Skype? I want to build another Skype app, I'm serious.

    To be simple, Skype for Android is crap, I use Skype frequently, slow opening, buggy GUI and all never makes the worst app on my phone

    Saying that, doesn't mean is my opinion, it is the opinion of others too.

    I do not pretend to fix all that, because that would be more than a feature request, it is an APA request

    My idea that I'm a Java/Android Developer, I could build my own stable/fast/smooth/dynamic copy of a Skype informal, good enough for personal use, if things were going well and that the application has been fairly stable and included all of the features, I might consider presenting it as a replacement for the official app.

    So my question is it possible to create such an application? Skype there any API or something that I can use? I would be happy to know also what protocols are used in communications to implement the same, so the quality of the voice is just as it could be.

    Thank you.

  • Does anyone know if Reg Clean Pro is safe or if it's some kind of virus?

    While working with Microsoft office, I had a window that pops up and began scanning my computer and then to tell me I had 6535 problems with the performance of my computer and that my state of health of the system are POOR with the level of damage is high. Then would fix only 15 issues until I bought the software. Anyone know anything about this?

    Get rid of such a program, do not apply 15 patches. You should be able to uninstall it (computer > uninstall or change a program). These programs offer usually speed up your computer, while some of them manage to speed up things a little more of them break everything.

    If you want to optimize your system instead use the free programs (vacuum cleaner and registry cleaner) ccleaner and defraggler:
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_defraggler
    They break things in the same way as the program that you have. Then if this is installed without your knowledge you should eventually check for malware. Download Malwarebytes:
    http://download.CNET.com/Malwarebytes-anti-malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
    The free version) to update and run the full scan. The best thing about the free version of this program is that it only runs and updates when you tell him so that he does not interfere with any other security installed on your computer. Of course, the professional version has protection in real time and automatic update, these too seems to be fairly stable when running in conjunction with Microsoft Security Essentials anyway.
  • Icons on the desktop are covered by some kind of a generic icon after installing updates

    Original title: updated ruined my office!

    Once the updates have been downloaded and installed to my computer Gateway DX4840-03F (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64) icons on my desktop are now covered by some sort of a generic icon applied on top of the icon who was there.  If I take the icons up to large size I can still see the edges of the original under the generic icon icon.  I'm hesitant to do a restore before the undates were applied.  I guess that when the updates have been applied, I would have the same problem.  This is the first time that I've never used this forum thing, but it seems that this isn't the hottest place of answers...

    Hi skipplummer,

    You can check in the history of Windows update and the updates recently installed.

    Step 1:

    Check the update history to see what updates have been installed. See the link for the same mentioned below.

    See the Windows updates are installed

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

    Step 2:

    Given that the problem occurred after installing Windows updates, you can try a system restore and then try to install the updates one manually and check.

    You can try a system restore to a point before installing updates.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

    System restore
