It seems that you might have downloaded some malware or adware. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to get rid of him. In the future, avoid the following types of sites to prevent it happening again:
- XXX sites
- torrent sites
- Group download sites (CNET, Softonic, download (dot) com, MacUpdate, etc..)
- MP3 download sites (Mp3 Skull, mp3monkey, etc.)
- No matter what website says you can do or download something for free you know otherwise you would cost money

I think that I asked the question as best as I can. On Internet Explorer, I could click at the bottom right and move from 100% to 150%.
Given my view, this change would be extremely useful.
Hi dsbloom65,
You can try using the Zoom. This will decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try to hit CTRL and + a few times to try it. CTRL and 0 it will return to normal size.
If this isn't what you're looking for, you, you might want to look at some of the options in Firefox Accessibility features - make Firefox and web content work for all users . There is much good information in this article.
Hope this helps!

Windows Update for how long should I keep and old update on my computer?
I have updates that are more than a year, how long should I keep the updates on my computer? Right now I have 195, any help would be great!
Thank you = Redchecker
Redchecker,
There is no such thing as 'old' updates. They are there to protect against a vulnerability or provide updates of the o/s. withdrawal defeats the purpose of them being there.

To completely remove it, we will make an update of Firefox. Follow the signs to Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

How can I get rid of the Yahoo homepage? Changing the home page does not work.
A week or two before Yahoo started coming as my home page. No matter how many times I change back to Bing, whenever I have rise of Firefox, there is Yahoo as homepage. Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
cbrsarahChange the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

I do McAfee and Microsoft updates manually every morning after the startup of computers so that they will not automatically be updated when I'm busy with other things
I suspect that the McAfee via Verizon security package is the culprit since the 'look' of their package and procedures changed end of December
Since then, they have had updates almost every day
And around the same time, my problem appeared on XP Home Edition, I was not able to access Adobe PDF files and had to re-download Adobe Reader XI
Any body else having the same problem?
And help get the update of Windows XP to run again?
It would not be the first step to disable automatic updates in Control Panel and manually download and install the most recent cumulative security update for internet explorer since without first, everything in the way of troubleshooting will be futile?
Download and install the latest cumulative security for IE8 update and manually restart the computer.

Upgrade Windows 10 is on my home page and cannot stop it.
* Original title: intrusion and abuse of microsoft
Microsoft, who thinks they are. They put 10 of windows on my computer and then it kept popping up all the time. It was the devil trying to get rid of it. Twice I had to get rid of. Now, he is on my home page and cannot stop it. He is screwing with my outlook e-mail. They went to the Council with this *. He went to the point where it is abusive. Then their phone system is a joke. I called and after 5 minutes of advertising, I thought that the number has been changed. Had to call another number to find that they are closed. What a joke. Apparently, Microsoft has built in the diversion on each package of the window and I'm sick of their support for my computer. I stopped upgrading because you don't know what the hell they put in them. Microsoft, leave my only freaking computer.
Right-click on the Start button and select Properties, the taskbar tab click Customize (under the Notification area). In the next window, place the cursor on GWX 1 and use the 2 scroll to change the behavior to Hide icon and notifications 3 and click OK 4 .
