Iwant to get rid of Asktoolbar. it is not showing on the list to deinstall

I downloaded a free PDF to DOC software taking care to untick the boxes saying did I want a toolbar and to be the default browser, but they ignored that and now I have a toolbar I don't want, and the software only partly worked. I have looked in control to de-install Ask but they don't appear in the list of installed programmes, and I can't identify them by any other name.
I don't want either the toolbar, nor do I want Ask as my default browser.
In fact I shall make a point of never using Ask about anything again, I am so disgusted at their underhand tactics. It's not as they even have an attractive toolbar!
Can you help?

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

  • Getting error when having slideshow page not show in Navigation list

    Hi,
    I'm the web manager for a motorcycle club (Honda GoldWings) and people in the club love to send pictures for me to upload to the website. I've been doing that with HomePage for a few years now. The thing is they've never liked the albums showing up in the navigation list because it makes it so long.
    Now comes iWeb (yeah!) and one of the options is to now show certain pages in the navigation list. Ok, so I use iPhoto to create a slide show and publish it to iWeb. I then created an "About me" page and added the slideshow to that page. The slideshow works as long as the slideshow is in the navigation list. As soon as I take it out I get "page not found".

    OK, so the parts you're having problems with are the 'Ride to Canada' links on the Photo Albums page, right? What's happening is that the link is corrupted in each case. If you mouse over either of the hyperlinked images and hold your cursor there for a moment you'll see that the address which is displayed includes Chapter%2520WA-A. This should be Chapter%20WA-A (with %20 replacing the space in your page name). This is beginning to look like an iWeb bug. I've experienced something similar when attempting to link to an URL which already contains a special character, and have reported it to Apple.
    How did you link to Canada_Trip.html and CanadaTrip_inBlack.html? Did you use the Link Inspector and choose the relevant page from the 'One of My Pages' list? (I'm pretty sure this is what you did; just trying to narrow down where things might have gone wrong.)

  • How do I get rid of an  oval dark spot showing on screen?

    A dark sport showed up in the upper right hand corner, but does not move when I rotate the unit. It seems to be getting larger. How do I get rid of it.

    If I understand the concept, the screen shot will show the spot when the screen is rotated in the same location as on the screen in normal vertical position. On mine the spot does not show on the screen shot, but remains in the same location (upper right hand corner) at all times.
    Are you saying the screen is going bad and needs to be replaced?

  • The new U2 album that I never asked for keep playing on my Ipad, how do I get rid of it ? seems to come from the iCloud....

    need to delete this album from my ipad...
    icons of iCloud on the right of the songs.
    the album appears under artists
    doesn't appear on lists
    doesn't appear on the Imac when Ipad connected ?
    how do I suppress this music I don't want ?

    ok thx for answering, but I still don’t understand why the music is playing while I never downloaded it ?
    when I use the music icon on my Ipad, on my lists, it suddenly plays the U2 noise in the middle of it
    why, if it’s not on my Ipad ?

    when it show a cloud to the right then it's not on your device
    it mean that it's tied to y our iCloud account and can be redownloaded should you wish to
    if you buy other music from iTunes and don't want it on the iOS device anymore because you transferred to your computer
    and wish to add other music then that too will show with the cloud it mean that should you wish you can get it downloaded again free
    it's pretty much the same deal in app store app where you can click on purchases and access all apps tied to your appleID

  • In chrome I'm getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?

    I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome.  The only extension I have is Google docs.  I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?  People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
    Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
    Thanks!

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. 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.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software.  I registered and activated the software last year.  When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.  I am connected.  How do I get Editor to work?

    You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them.  This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
    A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website.  This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy.  I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
    A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once.  The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
    In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

  • The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos where it says do you want to email, message, assign, use as waller paper etc. it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.
