Strange pop-up windows and the failure of resettlement

In recent weeks, while using yahoo or youtube, kept contained a sort of 'viral' pop-up window. At first, I blocked the pop-up windows in the preferences, but this week he did not.

I decided to reinstall Firefox, I deleted my profile and all, but when you try to run the new copy I get a warning saying a copy of firefox is already open so I can't run it.

Anyone know what is happening? I use Mac OS Lion.

Any help will be really appreciated!

Make sure that you delete the file profiles.ini so if you deleted the folder of Firefox profile with the random name.

  • How to set up to the pop-up window of the VI?

    I want to install the main program with ON and OFF buttons.

    When I click on IT, it will go to the REAL deal and popup the VI 'YOUR '. When I did with 'YOUR' VI, it will close the program.

    I tried to use the new event handler, but I have all the data entry because the 'YOUR' VI is VI independence.

    Another way? Please advice.

    Thank you

    A way to make a sub VI appear as a popup is to go to the VI properties for the desired sub VI, select the appearance of the window from the drop-down list, select Customize, and then check both "Show Front Panel when it is called ' and 'close later while initially closed. You can also set other properties of the VI from here, which is useful for the screws that intneded to be pop-up windows and dialog boxes.

  • Window and the mouse crashes when you try to close the windows

    Original title: window crashes when you click on the red X

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit platform).  Just recently, when I right click on the red X in the upper right to close a window, the window and the cursor freezing for about fifteen seconds.  The window then closes, and the slider works normally.

    This happens to my office, although my laptop (same operating system Vista, except for the 32-bit version) works normally.  I use CCleaner on a regular basis, and I have the latest version of AVG anti-virus and Microsoft Security Essentials installed.  This Setup has worked well for over a year.  This problem appeared only in the last 24 hours.

    Hello, Mr. the President Y. K..

    First, as soon as the computer and then restarting it later in the day, the question has not repeated itself.  I had read on Google that people with this problem a couple of years, were not so lucky.

    I have not addded any software, except to perform Windows updates usual a week ago.  The suddenness of the appearance of my problem led me to believe that these patches were probably not at fault.  When I went to log on to this second time, I had planned to restore the system to a previous backup to see if that gave me work around the problem.  However, it was not necessary.

    No error message appears when the problem occurred, and the problem was if I was in the office or on the Internet.  Nevertheless, I intend to register your comments useful diagnosis for later use, and for your efforts, thank you very much!

    Kind regards

    There is an installed antivirus program? Windows Defender is not an AV, it protects the system of spyware and potentially unwanted programs.
    Is there an antivirus or Security Suite program that is installed with Windows Vista included on the Dell disk?

    If so, what is disable Windows Defender, such as AV/SS can have a spyware component included with what is supposed to disable Windows Defender to not cause conflicts.

  • How to check the version of windows and the number of bits?

    Dear Sir

    As I could not download and watch a video show, I was told to check the version of windows and the number of bits. I remembered the upgrade to version 10 of Windows when you are prompted before. However, when I clicked on 'This PC' to check the C:\ drive, it shows Windows8_OS (C :).  It is quite misleading.  Can I know how to check & confirm the correct version of Windows and where to find the number of bits as well?

    Thank you.

    Looks like you're on windows 10, but after the upgrade is not changed the label of the hard drive.

    Type winver in the run box-press windows key + R box simultaneously.

    If the Windows 10 Build 10XXX State, you're on windows 10.

    Simply right click C: / and select Rename and rename the drive in Windows10OS or what you want.

    As far as the pieces is concerned, the PC this right click > properties and see the following line:

  • Remove components, Windows and the command start location

    I am wanting to do an interactive application which is fullscreen on two monitors. I know that the normal procedure of full screen call will defult the full screen for only the primary monitor. I was wondering if there was a way around it. Like, if I removed the edges of windows and the flash toolbar of the application, set the location of the initial window to start at (0,0) and then set the size of the stage in the resolution of the horizontal resolution compined two monitors. Is this possible and if so what the things (terms, methods) I again to start watching.

    Thank you

    As I said you can't - unless you use AIR (which you can do directly from CS5) or a third-party projector

  • A lot of pop-up windows and sticking in the browser behavior

    Have weird ads via safari and chrome. A lot of popup displays in any browser and also a few become clickable buttons disabled and typing becomes almost impossible through any program that uses the web. When you are not running any browser, everything works perfectly fine.

    Recently, my brother was received by an irritating contextual advertising on his Mac. I guided through the steps to remove, so I'll repeat it here.

    Pop-up ads are advertisements that open above or below the window of your browser, in another tab, or as a graphic element in the current window. Sometimes they refuse to leave the same when you try to close.

    If these ads appear, DO NOT give type of important information about your Apple ID, credit cards, etc. If an ad does not close, it's almost certainly a scam after your money.

    To get rid of adware, begin by closing pop-ups that are open. If a window pop up on your Mac includes a checkbox "don't show alerts more since this Web page", check the box before you close the pop-up window. If a window closes (like in the case of my brother) close Safari on

    your Mac.

    Restart the web browser on your Mac that you hold down the SHIFT key. This prevents the reopening Safari automatically all the windows.

    Then, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, and then follow these steps:

    • Click on the security icon, and select "Block pop-up windows" to stop certain types of pop-ups.
    • Check the settings of your homepage and search engine. Sometimes adware changes these settings.
    • Click the general icon and make sure the homepage field is empty or contains the Web site you want.
    • Click on the search icon and make sure that the setting of search engine displays your favorite search engine. In some versions of Safari, this parameter is in the general pane.

    If you still have problems, or just want to check your Mac occasionally for adware - download app in sandbox "Dr. Safetry" in the App Store. It's free for domestic use clean adware, in addition to malware including trojans.

  • virus/spam pop-up windows in the words of 'header and body' of the email

    Yesterday, when I was using firefox 15 to retrieve my emails, I found the header words & some words in the email body (such as subject, date and a few words in the body of the text) have been highlighted. As I moved the cursor to these words hi - lite, pop ups of spam/virus appeared - as you do $xxx.00 monthly, a young girl with tantalizing message face, etc..

    At first, I thought that my 15 firefox has been altered. I've upgraded to firefox 17, and the same thing happens again.

    I then had a live chat with a support technique earthlink.net last night, thinking that it was a problem (see below) earthlink. He saw the pop ups on the screen also and suggested I used IE to access my emails, which did not have these pop-ups "surprised." Thus, he concluded that the problem is with the firefox browser.

    Since Mozilla/firefox have no live chat. I need to send you this mail. My question is: is my browser firefox very corrupted I need to stop using it, and remove everything related to mozilla/firefox in the c drive?

    Thank you very much in advance

    (Email removed by mod)

    Hi george it looks like a problem maybe caused by adware/malware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspect entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from here and do a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place or another tool like the free version of malwarebytes.

  • How can I get rid of the top of the case. offers4u and "go around the web" pop-up windows and unwanted when links pop up windows is already turned off on my laptop

    I tried this software ad/malware and tried the launchdaemon corrections responsible extensions suggested and still can't find where they are hiding on my computer.  One of them adds unwanted links with green circular arrows on other Web pages and advertising windows with offers for similar products pop - up on Safari and Chrome.  They are driving me crazy, I even paid for the software adblocking, which serves to block the sites I want to open and still allows popups!

    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.
