When I try to open anything in Firefox I get countless ads. How can I avoid this.
Even trying to get that day I had to close at least 20 promotional sites - I tried to remove and reinstall Firefox, but the ads will continue. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
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 .

What version of Premiere Elements and on what operating system works - it? At the moment a generalization...
You need to create the title in the Titler, close the titration module, open the media project, right click on the thumbnail of the title in the media of the project and select duplicate.
Then drag the duplicate to the timeline. Double-click the duplicate to open the titration module to change the title in doubles.
If please examine, study and provide more information, so that I can refine (Customize) the answer for you.
Thank you.

TeamViewer is not part of Windows, and is not a Microsoft product.

Whenever I go to pages where the Adobe Flash Player "plugin - container.exe" flows "FlashPlayerPlugin_xx_x_xxx_xx.exe" (where x is the version number), it causes hundreds of empty folders "fap" save in my Firefox and C:\Windows\Temp folder. How can I avoid this?
Thank you!
BINGO!
The link 'Mode protected Flash' was exactly what I was looking for.
Check your task manager and see if you have two instances of Flash Player Plugin running. If you do, go to your Flash C:\windows\system32\macromed folder. In Win Vista or 7, 64-bit OS, it should be here:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
Open the file mms.cfg with Notepad and add this line:
ProtectedMode = 0
Save the file, and the problem is solved. You should not see two instances of Flash Player, and you will not get the files "fap" more.
Thank you very much!

In my taskbar, I click the Mozilla icon and most often the ' net opens automatically. Yesterday, this has changed; I click and get a message asking me if I want to use the 'updater' for updating my Mozilla. I think I have a virus or something on my system and want to know 1) how can I check for an invader. (2) how can I get rid of him?
Hi, in case of doubt, to check updates, open the 3-bar menu > help (question mark below on the right) > on Firefox.
It is possible that the notification is from your McAfee WebAdvisor extension, you can try to disable if you wish (Ctrl + Shift + A to open the Add-ons Manager).
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Hi I have just solved this problem by going to Java Virtual Machine Launcher poster, "Unable to access c ... . and from there to the MP3 Rocket help site and the connection. From there on, I was able to download MP3 Rocket Pro, but I've changed where I put it, I created a new thing entirely next folder that I knew I had the program back and working again. I did it without having to go through the default programs bit. Give it a try. It is simple and easy. Sometimes I think that we have an overload of information and I found happened to me.

OT: On the keyboard interface.
When I try to open the keyboard screen, I get the prompt and click to connect, but it does not connect. My hard keyboard is dysfunctional and now I can't type my password to connect. Is there a way to get around this? Thanks for any help.
There is a problem with the KB3004394 update that causes what you see as well as other issues.
Uninstall this update, your system should return to normal.
While in Windows Update, select View Update History then installed updates. Go to the bottom of the list to KB3004394, right-click on it and choose uninstall.
Microsoft has removed the update of the distribution.
I would try to borrow a keyboard if you can so that you can perform the uninstall.

When my Captivate project is published on my LMS, course opens a new window. You are able to copy the URL of this window and access the course without logging into the LMS. How can I avoid this?
Return to your LMS administrator and ask them why they have not put in place more firmly. The scenario you mention should not occur if the LMS is well attached.
Some LMS have the contents of the course are in a folder outside the web space so that users can access the course URL directly. For example, Moodle t - it this way and then shot the course content in a temporary folder when the learner clicks on the link ask a module. No matter how your LMS is supposed to do, it is currently not configured correctly.
