When you browse my new windows 8.1 PC I get tabs opens asking me to download all sorts of things that don't look at how lagitemate-

I just got my new windows 8.1 PC and downloaded firefox 30 on it. When I get the net surfingf - new tabs to open of their own accord. These pages tabs of areweb recommend downloads of various programs or deliver a virus or a warning maleware and recommending that I call a phone number to get technical support for problems he reports. I know theses are scams, but I can't figure out how to stop this action in the firefox browser. I have other PC with the same version of Firefox on them and I put matching all the parameters that I can find. Can someone help me with this problem please? I'm pulling my hair out - and there is not a lot of hair left. Thank you

Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

  • I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

    I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

    A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

    Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

    You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
    If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
    Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.

  • printers and faxes does not display when you browse another PC on my network

    When I navigate to another PC on my domain using------(ComputerName)-I usually see tasks scheduled as well as printers and fax machines.

    This is really useful when installation of printers and updating drivers remotely.

    I'm running XP 32.  I recently deployed a few new PC with XP pro 64-bit.

    When you browse my PC on the 64 bits of the PC I see more printers and fax machines.

    File sharing and printer is on.

    There are 2 PC 64 bit I CAN'T veiw the printers and fax machines on.  I checked eveywhere I can think and compared the two 64-bit pc (I can see the printers on one, and on that I do not see printers) and everything I find is the same.

    I've read that it could be due to the fact that Quebec of printer on the new 64-bit PC was not yet open, and once it is open it should appear when browsing from another PC.  I tried this and the printers and faxes are still not visible.

    Printer queue is launched and running without problem.  I also tried this restart.

    Connectivity is good.

    I have no problem either browse PC (32-bit and 64-bit) to other locations on my network.

    I also tried navigating from 64 bit to 64 bit, and the results are the same that when I travel from any other PC.  Some PC the list of printers and fax machines as well as scheduled tasks, some righteous display scheduled tasks.

    Hello, faith

    Please use the Forum for answers!

    I'm moving your post on Gaming forum where you'll find a community better suited to answer your question.

    Some manufacturers may include third-party games when you buy a new computer, these will have to be uninstalled separate of Windows games. You should be able to uninstall most of the applications, including games, in the section programs and features in Control Panel.

    To access the programs and features, click Start and select Control Panel. In Control Panel, click programs and then programs and features. Third-party software, select the application you want to uninstall, and then click Uninstall just above the list.

    To uninstall the games provided by Windows Vista, go to programs and features, and then click Turn Windows Features On or Off in spots on the left. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to continue. It can take a bit of the screen of Windows features to complete loading. In the Windows features page, clear the check box next to games and click OK. Windows may ask you to reboot after it's finished work.

  • Product ID invalid when you try to install Windows XP on VMware.

    XP installation of VMware

    Hello

    I have a PC under win 7. and I am trying to Flash an old router to wireless access point for a spot of dead in my house. To cut a long story short, I need to Flash the router using a software program that does that on XP (I tried the compatibility options in Windows 7 and it does not work). Then I put on the implementation of a virtual machine using VMware and an old copy of XP, I had. However, when I try and install XP I get the error that the product id is not valid. Now, I know that the software is legitimate - it was part of a XP operating system provided with an HP laptop - so my question is how I can get through the installation? I will not buy another XP code - after all I will ever use again once I finished the flash - and for the same price, I could buy a new router!. I just want to save the Earth, a small piece of discharge potential and save myself $20!

  • When you install a new application, is it necessary to start from a clean boot to ensure that no application works?

    When you install a new application, is it necessary to start from a clean boot to ensure that no application works?  Somewhere, a long time ago, we advised me to always be in a boot environment when installing new applications and have always respected this notice since.  However, I recently learned that is not necessary and may even be counterproductive because some Microsoft Services are needed for new facilities.  My goal is to have no corrupted installations to avoid future problems, but I have nothing seems to give me resistance gremlin 100% and I still have my share of challenges.   Almost all applications that I install contains the warning to make sure that no application works before installing.  Can anyone tell me with authority the best way to ensure that new installations of new applications please?  In addition, the same orientation for Win XP Pro to do with Win 7 Home Premium please?  Thank you.

    YW. Yes, I think an important thing to take away is to realize that it is better to only install the necessary Windows updates 'priority '. There is one exception, apparently. Recently, an MVP made me notice that updates to certificate root (which although considered "Optional" are virtually useful updates to security for IE) must be installed as well.

    But others are optional and since then, they can be VERY problematic (especially updates of pilot and the dreaded Windows Search 4.0), you really should stay away from them!

    Happy to help to explain things. Good luck!
