• How to uninstall and reinstall norton security

  I have Norton Security for 5 devices and put one on my new iMac, but when I click on advanced customize it does not open.  Nothing happens.  I was hoping that if I uninstalled norton and reinstalled then it would work.  I tried to uninstall norton, but he said it did not with the OS systems.  Nobody knows that I can either get advance to work so I can use the settings or how to uninstall and reinstall?

  Thank you

  It is not recommended to install antivirus on Mac applications unless you want a computer unstable and crashing. OS X is extremely secure and must be kept up-to-date to stay. AV, cleaning or ANY other third party are tools to keep the OS X works well are a total waste of time, energy and resources system.

• Some site to load then receive errors like this: (function() {var _UDS_CONST_LOCALE = "en";) Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. No help.

  Some sites work very well. I have Firefox on my work PC and laptop. I can open incandescence.com on them, but on this desk, it loads a page with what follows, 1000's of lines like the following:
  (function() {}
  var _UDS_CONST_LOCALE = "en";
  var _UDS_CONST_SHORT_DATE_PATTERN = 'MDY ';
  var _UDS_MSG_SEARCHER_IMAGE = ("Image");
  var _UDS_MSG_SEARCHER_WEB = ("Web");
  var _UDS_MSG_SEARCHER_BLOG = ('Blog');
  var _UDS_MSG_SEARCHER_VIDEO = ('Video');
  var _UDS_MSG_SEARCHER_LOCAL = ('Local');

  There are pages of the below. Some sites go up and try to open Notepad. I uninstalled firefox several times and reinstalled. Same results. I noticed that my bookmarks, etc. themselves so maybe uninstall/reinstall cleaning isn't the problem. Chrome, IE, Edge and all work very well on the sites in question.

  He takes me to the following address instead of incandescence.com: http://www.google.com/uds/api/search/1.0/432dd570d1a386253361f581254f9ca1/default+en.I.js? & a = 1

  Maybe a content filtering went wrong. Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? 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 SHIFT key when you start 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?

• FireFox can be uninstalled and reinstalled without bookmarks, preferences, and losing settings?

  All of a sudden, I am is more directed to my homepage when opening Firefox. All I get is "the address is not valid. Also, when I choose options, new window, new window private and find, I also get the error "the address is not valid.

  I've refreshed Firefox, which did not help, disabled modules, check the updates and open in safe mode, which none helped. I ran various malware and virus scans and empty came to this end.

  I was thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but I'm afraid that I lose my bookmarks, preferences, settings, etc. Any suggestions?

  Yes! This is a good way to replace the Firefox program files without disturbing your settings:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

  (3) to rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  The pages "internal" work normally again?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• I uninstalled and reinstalled and Firefox for windows 7 does not open. There is no error message - it just does not, even in safe mode. What should I do?

  My computer is set to the automatic update in Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I am also running Norton 360. There was a major update for the office on 10-12-14, which seems to be at the start of my problems. This month, whenever my updates caused a restart, Mozilla has failed to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and it lasted only a day or two before it crashes again. This last time it is still not open. All instructions to solve problems appear to be based on the idea that the program is open and just questions. I can't even open it in Mode without failure.

  I tried to reinstall, and it says it will launch automatically when the installation is complete, but it does not work. As Norton scan every download before it works, I am not sure if this is the problem since I never get the window that indicates the setup step by step for Firefox.

  What should I do?

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. A clean reinstall is not the same as a regular resettlement performed using built-in installer. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

  Please report to say if this helped you!

  Thank you.

• Impossible to uninstall and cannot use the minmise/maximize/exit buttons

  I can't use the high minmise/maximize/exit buttons on the right, so I reset FF on the troubleshooting page. That didn't work so I thought I would try a new new download. I think that it is better to uninstall the existing version first so I went to Control Panel/Add & remove but when I type remove flashes and does nothing else i.e. without uninstalling. I tried to go through my computer and programs, but clicking the uninstall wizard does nothing. Grateful for any help.

• Firefox 4 sucks big time. I uninstalled and downloaded 3.6.17.

  Sorry, Mozilla, but Firefox 4 sucks big time. I uninstalled and downloaded 3.6.17. I have disabled the automatic updates. V4 breaks JQuery and who knows what else, so I'll be a customer throughout my version of v3.6.17, coz I'm simply not having established, clean, great code killed by the browser! Only, I'm building web apps, so I have to get all my clients to stop the upgrade, too. I've been a Firefox guy for years, but it's the end of my rope. Chrome is very good, as is Safari. I guess one of them is going to be my browser go forward.

  Thank you all. I'm back, with my clients to the latest version of Firefox and have ruled on issues of JQuery. Firefox still rocks! Except maybe this logo that looks like a bowling ball, breaking a poor little Fox.

• Error HP Photosmart D110-Twain. Scanning does not work despite uninstalling and reinstalling it.

  All of a sudden my scanner does not work on my HP Photosmart D110 printer.  I tried to uninstall and it reinstaling several times.  The HP Troubleshooter arrives with a Twain error.  How can I fix it?  The extended error code is:

  8, (4,-2147221005, 0)).  (Note that dashes outside in the error code are straight, not curved.  Do not have the right on my keyboard).

  Hi LindaMC,

  Thanks for the reply!

  Looks like that maybe some things are lacking and there's a registry cleaner run which has removed some things. What I suggest you do is to perform an uninstall of level 3 and then once that finished, please download and run the HP printer install wizard to get the software reinstalled.

  If all goes well, once this is done, you should be able to start a new search.

• Web of Trust (WOT): ask detailed Instructions to uninstall and remove

  Please help by providing instructions detailed on how to uninstall and remove all the remains of the Web of Trust (WOT) plugin in a macbook pro running OS OS X El Capitan (10.11.3).  WOT is a plug-in available from Apple: https://safari-extensions.apple.com/?q=plugin .  I installed it on my macbook pro.  Less than an hour of installation, the computer began to operate at unusually high temperatures.  The fan is working overtime in a futile attempt to try to cool the computer hardware.  I consider that this plug-in to be more harmful than helpful because of the risk of overheating of the laptop.

  Separately, I hope that Apple consider WOT remove from their Web site and reassess all plug-ins software available to the Apple community.  I trust that Apple carefully tests and evaluates the plug-ins to determine their usefulness, balanced with a safe integration with their operating system before offering them on their Web site.

  Safari plug-ins are located in

  / / Library/Internet Plug-Ins /.

  or they can be removed from Safari

  Safari > Preferences > Extensions (tab)

  Select the plugin, click on the "-" icon.

  If you feel WOT must be removed by apple and they caused a grievance with you inform Apple

  Apple.com/Feedback

  otherwise, remember that WOT is causing residual damage and there is no other who could cause this as no matter what mac antivirus or any tool of party 3rd mac that manages your mac "mac keeper", "clean my mac" as so-called ware packages scam that historically have been linked to massive problems with OS X

  No matter what Mac AV or 3rd party cleaning tool should be removed from the system entirely.

• Should I uninstall PC Cleaner Pro?

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player.  I did a search for 'Windows Media Player Fix'.  I clicked on a site which had the logo of Microsoft in the address bar and click on "fix now", and PC Cleaner Pro was downloanded.  When I click "Run", he did a scan and said that my computer has more than 3,000 problem that had to be fixed.  When I click 'fix now', I asks me to register.  After that, I'm suddenlys asked not to purchase the product at a special price of $29.95 - there is no mention of the cost prior to this point.

  Have I been scammed, and my pc is today under threat?  I did not buy a product - I thought I was getting a fix from Microsoft for my computer.  I closed the window - should I uninstall PC Cleaner Pro?  It is now listed under all programs - but since I didn't buy it, I'm leering to try to use it.

  In addition, what is PMB Launcher?  Some how its icon and help to PMB, poppped up on top of my computer - I didn't knowingly download it.

  Thank you.

  Of course, you should be concerned.  No matter what program that does no benefit apparent but gets itself installed and then taking measures either make it difficult to uninstall it should be presumed guilty until proven innocent.  There are lots of lucrative things, mean that a program can do to your PC once you have given the OK to install.  Programs running all the time and have been installed with privileges you - that's why Windows will ask you if you allow installation - can do things like snoop your files or watch as you type a password.  The fact that he tries to avoid uninstalling there as evidence that its creators see some advantages to keep on your machine and makes him suspicious.

  If you want to install a product cleaning or antivirus, so don't forget the company, you buy some.  Unfortunately, bad companies have become very smart in the game system - creating several websites, supposed to give rave reviews, fake users on legitimate review sites, etc.  I really have no idea how say you who you can trust.  For this company, I have no way of knowing trust them or not.  But your question, bad things can happen in a program just to be on your computer - absolutely.  Do not install foreigners.

• Uninstall and reinstall vista and drivers etx

  Impossible to uninstall and reinstall vista

  Read the info below;

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
