How to get rid of Pop Ups, Pop Unders and YouTube ads

Ever since AdBlock stopped working in Safari, I've searched til no end for another program, or extension, that will get rid of all pop ups, pop unders, and YouTube ads and banners for Safari.  Nothing. 
This astounds me because I've never known Mac gurus to not be on top of somthing like this.  Are there any alternatives?  I only use Safari and not Firefox or Chrome. 
I've downloaded Glimmer Blocker but it doesn't stop pop-unders at all.  Is there a hack to get it to?  What is everyone else doing?  I can't imagine people are just putting up with the bombardment of ads!  Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings!
Just to double check but did you made sure to download the latest version of the extension and ensure that it was enabled inside the Safari setting's menu?

    That is the snippet container.
    You can hide that container or set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty String on the <b>about:config</b> to make Firefox use some default snippets.

    You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css

    You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

    Unfortunately CleanMyMac is as harmful, if not moreso, than MacCleanse. These third party cleaning apps are considered 'crapware' and can harm your system beyond repair. If you cannot uninstall them completely, as appears, it may pay to backup your data, reinstall avericks and migrate your important data back. You can try posting an etrecheck report and perhaps someone can help narrow down what you need to trash from all the areas that these programs have infected.
    etresoft  a long time contributer to Apple Support Communities wrote a very useful app he called etrecheck which helps in diagnosing many problems caused by third party installs etc.. Go to his website, read his information and from there download and run the program according to his instructions

  • Deployment: How to get rid of certificate import pop up in Reader XI

    I want to deploy XI to our machines, but before I do so, I have to be sure, there are no pop ups confusing the users.
    There is a pop up asking me to import older certificates and I can select between "Import" and "Default" - which is weird enough.
    How do I suppress this pop up?
    I searched in forum and got a hint about bAskBeforeInstalling but after I looked into this a little more, someone from Adobe Stuff said, this has nothing to do with the pop up.
    Also I couldn't find an easy option in the customization wizard.
    So: how do I suppress the pop up?

    I'm on the same road, trying to get rid of the "Adobe Reader Security" popup.
    bAskBeforeInstalling and bLoadSettingsFromURL couldn't hide the popup for me either.
    What does work is to rename or copy the addressbook.acrodata file, located in %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security. But that has to be done for all userprofiles on all machine imho. (copy from the 10.0 to the 11.0 folder, before opening Reader XI).
    The Files and Folder feature from the Customization wizard can do file operations, but probably not in all userprofiles?
    We need to script this, because the Adobe Customization WIzard cannot help us out here right?

  • After a recent firefox update, i am getting tons of pop-up ads (pop ups ARE disabled) and admedia ads on ALL videos. how do i make these go away????

    recently, i was forced to update my firefox. after that, problems began.
    my pop-up blocker is ON with only one exception (my bank website). but i keep getting pop-up ADs (not pop-ups needed for the webpage to work, but actual junk ads that have nothing to do with the website... firefox help called them "pop-under ads" as they pop up under the browser, but they have the firefox logo and star, but are in fact ads).
    then, when i am watching videos, hulu, youtube, vimeo, anything that isa video, i get these admedia ads pop up over the video screen.
    these things never happened before the update, nowthey are an every use occurance. how do i turn them off again, especially when all information points to the features that should be turning them off say they are off???
    EDITED TO ADD:
    i have run CC cleaner, spybot, windows defender, norton anti-spyware several times.

    I solved the problem of unbelievable slowness, etc. by downloading NoScript from the Firefox Add-On page:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/
    After you download and install NoScript leave it set to the default settings. It's wonderful - After you get used to using it, you can make changes as necessary.
    You'll be redirected to the NoScript web site after you complete your installation:
    http://noscript.net/?ver=2.1.9
    This is because the version of NoScript posted on the Firefox Add-On page is not the most recent stable version. You'll see a message on the upper right side of the NoScript web site stating:
    V. 2.2 - See through the Web!
    Looks like you are running an older version (2.1.9), probably because latest version is not published on addons.mozilla.org yet.
    You are strongly encouraged to
    install latest stable version (2.2)
    Definitely install version 2.2 - after installing the version posted on the Firefox Add-On page - and you're good to go.
    I found it helpful to read the Reviews of NoScript on the Firefox Add-On page. One person, as I remember, commented that NoScript saved him from abandoning Firefox. That was my experience too.
    Let me know if that helps -

  • How to get rid of rpc.html pop up when browser opens

    when using firefox with my comcast home page, i get a pop up saying you have chosen to open rpc.html. how can i get rid of this?

    My guess is that there is a "hot spot" that when the cursor rolls over this area it triggers the download of the obnoxious rpc.html coding that drops into a person's download file. Now why someone would go to the trouble of setting up this type of non-consequential ruse if beyond me. Maybe this is just an errant html code glitch? It seems to be localized between Firefox and Comcast (Xfinity). Funny that one message says that each side to this problem is pointing the accusing finger toward the other. Glad, for a change, the computer user is not incorrectly targeted as the source of the problem.
    But the issue of a set of volunteers working on the problem and not being able to fix it is disturbing. Hope they (whomever) can solve the puzzle.
    I am finding my computer is not able to download Open Office for some reason. Spent ten hours trying to figure this out. Just gave up. I like Firefox but if I continue to have these types of problems, even if not proven to be related, I am going to have to find another solution, somewhere.

  • What's the best way to stop pop-ups, add-ons and annoying ads?

    i've tried a lot of things to get rid of all these annoying ads and pop-ups and nothing is 100% working. could anyone please help me out with this on chrome or safari?

    You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

    After starting up a brand new imac it down loaded off an older 10.6.8 running imac for 15 hiurs, now I have a duplicate of the older; how to dump all the older stuff and get my new imac?

    OK. Log into your migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate.
    Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account. Make it an Administrative account and name it whatever you want (but not the same as your current account) and set it up to login automatically. Log out of your current account and log into the new account. Now, select your migrated account and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the bottom option to delete immediately. DO NOT select the option to erase securely.
    Now, you can choose to migrate again from your old account but be more selective of what you migrate or you can simply copy over the data you want.

  • How to get rid off custom installed theme completely and revert back to mavericks theme(system default)

    Recently, I tried installing a third party theme in my macbook pro (OSX mavericks_10.9.5 installed). Once installation got over i could notice that it was not properly installed in my retina display so i thought of reinstalling the same. Re-install could not be done properly because the theme was a hacked version. The installer theme packages effected the GUI of my system and thus it upgraded some of my core services applications to its custom theme format. So is there any solution to revert those services back to its default state.? Or is there any any way to get these installed format back to older format(icons and stuffs).?Or will it resolve the issue if i try installing the new OSx Mavericks (Productivity tool) from the AppStore?.Please let me know if you guys have got something the issue.
    Please help me.

    Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!
