Spyware is rampant in my Internet Explorer searches. How can I get rid of him?

I just got my computer on a workshop due to malware or virus infeciton... paid $100 and when we got it home, it was stil troubled. I am able to use Firefox without any problems, but my Internet Explorer 9 research is unreliable. Even if you see legitimate links listed, if you click on one of them, it will lead you to another window that has nothing to do with the question you cllcked... and looks very simplistic and completely false.  I'm suspect spyware, but the calculation is impossible to install anything.  Suggestions?

  • Yesterday, a "search" tab comes on when I start firefox. How can I get rid of him?

    I rarely use tabs, so the tab bar was always hidden. from yesterday, when I opened firefox a "search" tab is present. A single tab is also present. The 'search' tab is very similar to the search button on the right side of the navigation bar. It is therefore redundant.

    How can I get rid of this "search" tab?

    Thank you very much. Microsoft Security Essentials was unable to detect it and let it turn off my computer. I think there must have been on my computer with an update of my Firefox. I am extremely disappointed by Firefox because of this and the fact that I can't hide the tab line. I know that I can laugh with a plug-in to hide the line of the tab, but it is more time. Remove the possibility to hide something is simply STUPID. I want you to give me a feature that I never use, fine, but please do not take to something that I never use the two lines on my screen.

    There is no part of Windows 7 called "Explorer desktop.  Something you have installed perhaps put it there.

    Left icon when you click on the desktop, and then press the F5 key to refresh?

    The icon seems to have 'life' - i.e., anything or change the cursor when you go over it or click it?  It is not perhaps part of the wallpaper you are using is it?

  • I have century link for my internet and they put sort of a Qwest tab that opens every time I open firefox. How can I get rid of him?

    I downloaded a link that Qwest offered to do my upgrade to 10 GB soft windows. After that download is when the additional tab Qwest appeared. It is not listed as my home page and I deleted the download but I still get the tab everytime I open Firefox and I want to get rid of it.

    If the page does not appear when you call a new window (Ctrl + n) or click on the Home button, it could be incorporated into the shortcut you use to start Firefox. You can check a shortcut from the desktop/taskbar changed as follows:

    • Shortcut on the desktop: right-click on the icon, choose Properties
    • Icon taskbar pinned: clic click right on the icon, right click in Mozilla Firefox, click on properties

    Windows normally selects the shortcut tab. If this is not the case, go ahead and click on the shortcut tab.

    The target line do not need anything after this part:

    • Windows 64-bit, standard 32-bit Firefox: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
    • Windows 64-bit, 64-bit Firefox test: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    • 32-bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    If all URLS are listed after this, claire them and save your changes. To test, you can:

    • Shortcut on the desktop: double-click the icon to launch a new window
    • Icon taskbar pinned: right-click on the icon, click Mozilla Firefox to open a new window

    If you get only your homepage, it worked.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
