Why my addon is updated continually running?

My addons (top right of firefox) button is continuously green and swirling. No idea why? Also, I use FF 12.0 and all my addons are hidden. How can I fix these problems?

No, it's ok - new versions of firefox only use configuration files for extensions that are present in your profile folder. glad you could get it sorted!

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the AU for the "updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting. Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded, the updates are installed and where they are installed.

    I prefer "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting.

  • Windows Update always running in background

    Hi all

    I am running Vista and have reformatted and reinstalled three times in the last four or five months.  Whenever I installed, the pc works fine for a while then after a windows update, I don't know which, I start getting a lot of substantive activity on my hard drive.  This activity relates the mouse so much that sometimes it won't let me move it for 10 to 20 seconds.  Even with the keyboard.

    After each reinstallation, I load Vipre, to update and run a security analysis. Can I update Vista with each patch MS listed as critical or recommended before installing other software.  Now, all that is loaded is MS Office, Adobe Web Premium, Sony Ebook Library and some printer drivers.

    Manager tasks indicates little activity, 1-3% on each of the 4 hearts.  I restarted in safe mode, just to see if it might be something that takes over and I have the same problem in safe mode.  Lock the mouse and the hard disk activity.  Again, all the security scans show nothing other than a few cookies.

    I saw in other Councils there have been problems with either Windows Update has blocked upwards or with the MS .net framework installed.

    Someone has seen this before and if yes is there a solution that doesn't require a reformat and reinstall?

    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    I'm still confused why you say "Windows Update is always running in the background" If you have not confirmed it.

    -Online open tasks on the process tab Manager: is there always an instance of WUAUCLT. EXE running in the background?

    Moving...

    After a clean install, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer". After each cleaning installed, you take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or a network otherwise and before using a USB or SD card that was not brand new, or had not been freshly formatted?

    Is WinXP fully patched to Windows Update & is also installed & updated VIPRE up-to-date?

    The foregoing notwithstanding:

    On the Vista partition:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    On the partition of Windows XP:

    4. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    5. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    6. double-click on the file that you saved in #4 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that protects against viruses and other security threats by analyzing your programs to make sure that they use the system safely memory.

    If you choose to protect all programs, you can always turn off DEP for individual programs. If you think that a program does not run correctly when DEP is enabled, check for a compatible version of the DEP program or an update from the software publisher before you change your DEP settings.

    2. Click Advanced system settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Under performance, click settings.

      • Select the check box next to the program that you want to turn off DEP for and then click OK.

        If the program is not in the list, click Add. Navigate to the Program files, search for the executable file of the program (it will have the .exe extension) and then click Open.

      To turn on DEP for an individual program

  • Google Update is running in the Task Manager, even if I don't have Google chrome open

    Original title: Googleupdate.exe * 32

    Windows 7 HP 64 bit.  (sp1)

    Google Update is running in the Task Manager, although I have not Google chrome opened.  My pc is running slowly, my network is slow.  Its bad enough I can't install programs via a disc more (which didn't need internet connection or speed), but to have windows and other services that run in the background continuously, who do not have something productive and I cannot control drives me crazy.    I need to disable or stop the services, tasks, programs that run several times and are not necessary.  Some do not stop little matter what I do or restart even if disabled.   I ran antivirus, malware software software and nothing shows ever.

    As an administrator:

    I disabled (via the services)

    1 Google update service (gupdatem)

    2 Googe Update service (gupdate)

    But I still Googleupdate.exe * 32 running.   I check and these both are disabled.  So is there a service control for programs and services 86 bit 64-bit and 32-bit?  And how to get there?  Or is it in software?

    Why the last OS update cost me gigabytes of data when you are connected directly to my computer and ISP via Itunes.  29 February 2016

    While it is connected to ITunes via my Dell system, I was informed of the latest OS update for my IPhone 6.  I decided that the direct connection to the internet would be the fastest way to download and install the software.  During the process I started to have some warning of our AT & T account that I approach the limit of our data plan, then in quick succession, only warnings, said I've reached the limit and then passed in the data, limit charges.  At the time it was done, I had accumulated more than 2 gigabytes of additional data charges.

    Until that point, I was very pleased with the device and confident in the ability to use Wifi and data.  Due to this incident, I became very suspicious of the camera and the huge potential for data overcharges. It is extremely disconcerting as it happened while it is directly connected to the internet using my computer at home.
