weird thing in Amazon

When I pull a page for almost any item on Amazon, a menu bar appears at the top of the screen, informing me that I can buy the same item for less money on another site. This is not the same as the offer of Amazon partners displayed at the bottom of the page. I notified Amazon to this problem. They tell me that they have a virus and have no idea what it is. I have cleared my cache, cookies, history, etc and run my antivirus detection software and malware. Everything seems fine on my end. Amazon has suggested that I contact Firefox to see if I've downloaded something inadvertently causing or allowing this situation. You know this problem and, if so, do you have a solution? Thanks for your time.

I wouldn't say you are "naïve", you know the difference between good and evil. IMO Avast! pushing the limits of acceptable behavior for an application of "security" in doing so, as many other AV / security programs. Shares; change of search, home page and the new tab page engines, as well as adding a toolbar in a first time, those who are all unacceptable actions, IMO.

Personally, I avoid security programs that automatically install a toolbar in a web browser. As far as I KNOW, free Avira Antivirus is the only large AV app that does not automatically install a toolbar in Firefox. Avira free tried a few years when they have released a new version, but they released within two months due to the indignation of the user.

I've never even seen this toolbar Avira free AV, my PC WinXP 24/7 running on my limited user account, switching rarely to my Admin user account. This toolbar needed to run in an administrator to settle, account and / or need a restart of Windows or a boot cold for the installation of this garbage.

BTW, I went to free Avira to Avast! After Avast! from adding garbage as we are talking about here, in 2007 or 2008, IIRC.

  • Safari crashes and other weird things happening

    Hello, I have a macbook pro retina early 2015 and I noticed some strange things with my mac.

    (also, I'm really sorry, English is not my native language, I probably make many mistakes)

    For two days now, my safari started crashing every day. I found it very strange since I have just my macbook for a month now. When the window opens too warn me and too "send the problem too mac ' there is a white window with nothing in it. I guess now you write what is your problem?

    In addition, whenever I restart the computer in the morning, the sound is disabled. While when I restart my computer the night sound is enabled.

    I also noticed that the morning my update to adobe symbol is too following the wifi so that in the evening its all just disappeared.

    And another thing that I think is weird is that my 'other' in my disk space going 18.2 GB too 18,66 GB no reason apparent. Sometimes it even goes back 18,48 GB and then it go higher still.

    In the months that I have my macbook, I downloaded a program for my wacom tablet, installed Adobe creative suite CS6 installed 2011 of a disc and some powerpoint microsoft word a word documents from the website of my school. also too much yoshimite el Captain went and installed all the updates again. And I installed a very old printer and scanner HP photosmart C3180.

    I do not use wifi, I use the cable. Since I got my mac I never saved my password on it. I put on my firewall and I do not have too use the plug-ins. I also block each pop-up.

    Now at the beginning of this week, I did three stupid thing. Accidentally, I clicked on an ad on youtube mackeeper and also went to the Web site. I clicked on it. (now I see on all the Web sites that support ads advertising of mackeeper. I looked in my business but I have not seen a trial of mackeeper)

    Then then I accidentally typed two websites, I need to search too and both times I came across a site that told me I had a virus. The first pop up led me also a page with my ip address is displayed, and the second was a blank screen. (this happened with Wifi on a different location)

    I click on anything and quit Safari, immediately after I saw him.

    With wifi, I noticed some things had moved too much trash. This consisted mainly of recoverdfiles with WKresouches in them, and I deleted it. Back on the cable there was no recovery file in the trash more

    So, what I have now is amazing. How is it possible that my safari crashes? The other things I mentioned bugs or would it be a malware infection? If it is a malware infection, where should I look too remove it?

  • Weird things on the screen and the watch does not load

    can someone tell me what this means and how to fix it? Was given on the charger for hours, can not, have you tried the new wall charger and no difference

    Your watch is probably too warm. Keep it in a cool room to let it cool down. The third screen is a warning of the temperature.

    Try to load again, after that the watch is cool.  If you are using a case, keep it open.

    https://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apdcf2ff54e9

    For operating temperature requirements, see this page: Keep Apple Watch in temperatures acceptable - operation Apple Support

    Apple Watch is designed to work best with a temperature of 32 ° to 95 ° F (0 ° and 35 ° C) and must be kept between the ambient of-4 ° and 113 ° F (-20 ° to 45 ° C) temperatures.

    For example, Apple Watch should not remain unattended in direct sunlight for long periods, undergoes large changes in temperature or humidity, or be left in a car on hot days. Store and use your device outside the recommended temperature range may shorten battery life or cause other damage.

    Learn more about the management of the temperature for Apple Watch

    If necessary, Apple Watch will regulate its internal temperature. There are several things you might notice if this happens:

    • Charging time may increase, or load could stop
    • The display may dim
    • A temperature warning screen may appear
    • Data transfers could interrupt or slow down the
    • Apps could close

    If your Apple Watch has above normal temperatures:

    1. If you wear your device, turn the power off and remove it from your wrist.
      If your Apple Watch is charging, remove the charger.
    2. Move your Apple Watch to a cooler place and let it cool completely before you put it back on or to continue to load.
  • The mouse pads, the Satellite Pro C660, do weird things

    Hi guys, I have a Satellite C660 Pro who has developed a weird problem

    When the laptop has been for some time, the mouse pad will start scrolling and horizontal scrolling when I do not want to control the cursor of the mouse almost impossible until I restart, then it works very well for anywhere between 20 minutes and a few hours before it goes nuts new

    I tried to update the drivers, I also tried to disable the ability of mouse pad to scroll or do anything other than to be a mouse pad, but this does not seem to have changed anything

  • Satellite Pro M50 is doing weird things perpetually

    Hello

    I come to you in a State of defeat, I have in my care at the present time a friends Satellite Pro M50, Model No.: PSM55E-003001EN, who does BIZARRE things perpetually, I tried to diagnose for a few weeks and am still absolutely perplexed.

    When started after a period of time (for example, be left overnight), the computer turns on, the rotation of the fan disc to the top, but nothing comes on the screen, it is completely blank. If you turn it off and turn back on again immediately, after that it will start and 'messages' as usual. The reason for this is a mystery to me, because it is only a problem the first time that you turn it on after a while to be turned off, then it disappears.

    Secondly, when it does not start XP, half the time that it will work fine until the screen is touched (tilted forward or backward), which either will make return empty (but always backlit), or BSOD. The other half of the time, it will start in XP, but after a few moments enclosing or suffer the cutting issue screen without being hit at all. I also tried connected to an external monitor, where the output seems to have the same behavior as the computer screen (on off the moment when you off/white/frozen etc.).

    Now, I have re-installed times mulitple XP on the computer, and (outside), it will work perfectly well in a base state being moved and tilted in all directions, I can think of trying, until I have install the ATI display driver recommended from the Web from Toshiba or legacy ATI site When the problems about screen clipping and booting into the operating system seem to start...

    I also tried to install a distribution of Ubuntu on the machine, which works properly again for awhile once installation is complete, until the machine is turned off and left overnight, the next day, wherever he hangs at startup 'Ubuntu' screen and does not start despite any number of reboots.

    I ran Memtest and it indicates that the RAM is fine, and the HARD drive was also tested and is in working condition. Now, this does not seem to point me in the direction of a flaw with the graphics chip, but I don't know if it would force the latter to expose ALL of the behaviors that shows this machine...

    Someone at - it advice about these issues? Given the age of the machine and taking into account the cost of a new phone of base, I don't think that it is worth my friend spend money on fixing the thing, I try right here save the dump.

    Thank you.

    I can't say with certainty what the problem but, as Akuma have already written, there must be a hardware problem.
    What you can do about it? You can try to find it on eBay or elsewhere mainboard handed to nine and exchange it in the hope that everything will be OK. Otherwise you can give advice to your friend to save money and buy new laptops.

  • AWUS036H does weird things when it is connected to a USB port.

    I have a network card 802.11 g Alfa AWUS036H, the chipset Realtek RTL8187L.  I installed the latest drivers.  When I plug this device into my USB port, the computer recognizes the device without problem.  However, the system starts turn off and turn the card over and over again.  A constant cycling of on and off.  If I open the Device Manager, the USB device keeps appearing and disappearing to the constantly.  He never stops until the unit is unplugged from the USB port.  Needless to say, any kind of network connection is impossible.  Now, I also have an Atheros USB adapter, but it doesn't have the same problem.  I can use it to connect without any problem at all. I also have another NIC Alfa, based on the RALink (802.11n) chipset, and it does exactly the same thing, like the Hawking adapter, on the RALink chip based.    all proposals/solutions?

    All I ask you to do is to re - install the USB drivers

    1. the Device Manager open.

    2. expand Bus USB controllers.

    3. right click on each component and choose uninstall.

    4 restart the computer and windows will install the Inbox for the USB drivers.

    5. now check if everything is working properly.

    The page support to say that phones does Delete call logs. Finally, unless the phones has little memory.  I checked for memory low "requirements" and found that my phone has normally more than enough.

    I checked for the issue of the music and all I could find were the question format, all my songs are in the correct format.

    Also, with the vibration thing, page indicates a shortcut to change the vibration from the default setting is to click on the button "#", but in this case the keys withoutme.  In addition, I don't have the function do not disturb is enabled.

    I just got back and I now have a new phone.  The people in the store could not diagnose the problem.  Thanks in any case.

  • IPhone keeps cutting and making other weird things

    I recently bought an iPhone 4s, and it did not come with a battery. So I bought one and placed it in without putting the screws in. I turned it on only to have it work for a few seconds and then cut or go to safemode because of "Spring Board"?

    I then went to find my iPhone for erasr data for the other person only to start and then try to SupprimerLa data, it does not end and goes to the wheel turns and stays like that for hours... nothing has worked and I really need help

    Does anyone knows how to fix this?

    There is no serviceable parts by the user in iPhones, including the battery. You may have a hardware problem, but not necessarily related to the installation of the battery, requiring an evaluation by a technician. Support for hardware repairs is not provided here.  Because the phone was opened by someone other than Apple, they won't have a maintenance operation.  Try a workshop of independent iPhone repair or Google.

  • Paragraph styles, do weird things

    I'm having a strange problem that drives me bananas.

    I copy and paste a document quit in of MSWord (something I've done MANY times before without problem). For some reason, the text is placed in police Didot, all uppercase, followed 50 - although I have never and would never do that style anywhere in my document.

    When I tried to use the styles I've implemented for formatting the text, they do not work. Only strange Didot font style remains. I can't replace it anyway. I went through all the settings "based on" in my style, and this font (and these settings) do not appear anywhere. It's like InDesign decided, this is the default setting for all of the text and does not allow me to change it.

    If I change it manually, it works, but as soon as I try to apply a style, it immediately snaps this madness of Didot.

    I have never seen this before and it keeps all my work. Any ideas?

    This also occurs if I try to spent in the text of the Pages. And paste without formatting is not available as an option. Don't know what else to try.

    Almost all of the issues I've seen with paragraph Styles involved a rogue character Style making its undesirable magic

  • New tablet, weird things happening

    Im not sure what is happening here, but if I select and click on remove, what is happening. The great gate there and drawing become super lag. It's photoshop cc 2015 on a windows machine 7. Anyone have any ideas?

    whattheheck.jpg

    May I suggest that you update to Photoshop. It seems to me that if you use CC2015.00 or CC2015.0.1. Early versions of CC2015 have been buggy (Adobe sorry), but the current version is much more stable. Under help, click system information, and the first line of the report should tell you the build that you have. He is currently CC2015.1.2.

    I know a point update doesn't seem much, but there has been a significant restructuring of the interface and also the library you are using. You can find the update will solve your problem, but if this isn't at least an important variable is removed from the puzzle together. You can update the desktop app, Photoshop itself-under help or download the real executable for your PC and do the update offline.

    Hope that helps

  • Weird thing when I build the project

    Hey guys, I got straight... everthing well served, in the output, the first piece, the end, links.

    When I build my movie and open the ISO file of with a Blu - Ray player (so I'm not wasting a disc, and I check everything first) my main movie starts.

    There are no menus, no intro, no buttons, nothing. Just the full movie.

    Also, when I preview the project again, I see that everything is perfect. The first piece, transitions, the menu and the buttons.

    What this may be?

    The most likely problem is that the reading software does not play the bluray correctly. Which player do you use?

    Also use a BD - RE for testing.

    Recently noticed with 21 FF there are a few problems tracking weird happening with one of my fonts Typekit on a production site. Nothing has changed with the code base / the implementation of police web on my site, but 21 FF seems to do weird things to the police.

    The affected font is DIN Condensed Web of Typekit.

    It renders correctly in all other browsers I have tested on my Mac (Opera, Chrome, Safari, etc.).

    Issue appeared to have been related to Typekit. We contacted their support to report the issue... and then I also re-published my Kit. The police that seems to work correctly again. Not sure if this has been fixed thanks to TypeKit support personnel action, or simply the reissue of the kit.

  • Things wired keyboard entries after the virus

    Some don t work on my keyboard letters. I got a virus a while ago but I deleted it, or so I thought.

    I ran several security scans and no virus shows, but I find myself with a keyboard that makes weird stuff. The letter 'i' to do this, the letter 'k' logs me off weird thing is another comma and the arrow keys to display search boxes. Can I use the letters i and k if I press "F2" at the same time.

    It makes me crazy. I put t know why it's happening or how to put right.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello!

    Are you sure, that you have removed the virus?

    For a long time, I had a virus too. I thought that it was removed by security software, but he was still on the phone. He was not the same question (I had a slow internet connection).
    I've tried everything, and in the SafeMode but I too t couldn't remove the virus.

    The solution was I had to reinstall Windows and formatted the HARD drive.

    When you have a Toshiba Recovery disk, reinstall Windows. It takes only a few minutes and all the drivers and tools will be installed also.
    But first backup your data, the HARD drive will be formatted.

    Give me reason what happened.

    Good bye
