When i use Firefox and do a Google search, find what i need and click on the link I keep getting automatically redirected to another search site called http://www.scour.com
Can someone tell me if this is a problem with Google or Mozilla? or both? or neither?

This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]

    when I use Firefox, my email comes thru with only 1/4 showing and is unreadable. What can I do? I like using Firefox.
    When I open my email with another browser, this does not happen.

    Do you think it might be possible that your phone is a 3G instead of a 3GS?  The reason for asking whether this is a possibility is because 3G iPhones cannot be updated any further than ios 4.2.1.  3G and 3GS are very similar in external appearance.  One way to tell the difference is that the 3G cannot record videos in the camera app, while the 3GS can do this.
    Another way to tell is by introducing your model or serial number in the Apple Support page that identifies your iPhone.

    The CC Cleaner Tool assumes the Akamai Download Manager is activated and it has not. It seems to be the missing file that triggers the error message. \in a previous re-install I was prompted to download & install the Akamai Download Manger, but not this time. Is there somewhere on the Adobe website that I can download it??

  • When I try to add a comment under a YouTube video I'm not able to ... I get a redirected to another page that "flashes" open for a second then closes?

    This problem just started about three days ago. Before that I was able to click in the comment box under a YouTube video and leave my comment.
    The page that opens for a second shows the following when I look at my History in Firefox:
    Google plus: real life sharing, rethought for the web

    What is this and how do I fix this problem? (BTW: This doesn't happen when I use another browser ... but I use Firefox exclusively and would like to continue.)

    Hi GrizzlyJoe,
    This happened a few weeks ago to me. I had to clear the cache and log out then back in. Have you tried this already? [[Remove recent browsing, search and download history]]
    Also are you commenting from a session in youtube or one from an embedded video?

  • There are ads that come up on the right side and bottom of websites when I use Firefox on my computer- right now it seems to be one Windows computer

    When I use Firefox on a Windows based computer a side "ad" bar comes up on the right side(if looking at the computer) and one comes up on the bottom that offers other searches similar to the website I am on.

  • Firefox 10 - Needing to Click on web links twice before page loads

    Hi all
    Any one else got the same problem as me? I've upgraded to Firefox 10 on two systems now and have the same problem on both, When you click on a weblink, some times you need to click on the link twice or press F5 before the new page loads. it dont happen all the time. It kinda bugs you after some time lol Never had this problem on pass versions of FF, crome and IE seem to work fine

    You may have an add-on doing this. Start FF in [[Safe Mode]] and see if the issue still persists. If it doesn't disbale your add-ons one by one to see which one is the main one causing this issue.

  • I am unable to view google ads running alongside and under videos on YouTube. This is only a problem when I use Firefox. If I use another browser, I can see the ads. I do not have adlock as it does not appear in my plug-ins/add ons. Please help..

    I have been using Firefox for about two years. For about a month now I have been unable to view any Google advertisements that run on YouTube pages alongside and under videos. This is important for my business. I would like to stay with Firefox, but this is only a problem when I use Firefox and is not a problem with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome as I checked. I tried uninstalling Firefox and all plugs ins and add ons and then reinstalling it. This did not work. Firefox seems to be blocking the Google codes that enable the ads to run on the pages. I look forward to your help. Thank you.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

  • I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

    I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
    When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
    I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
    I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
    thanks

    ''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' <br />
    And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
    Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.<br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' <br />These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />
    ''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

  • When i use firefox my system automatically closes and dumping memory starts

    when i use firefox my system automatically closes and dumping memory starts. This problem is not with interner explorer nor with google crome

    Firefox sometimes uses more memory (RAM) than it should. This can make Firefox slower, and in extreme cases, it can even make Firefox crash. This article describes how to make Firefox use less memory.

  • I have os 10.5.8 and safari 5.0.6 and websites are coming very strange. Do I have flashback virus? When I use firefox they come up normal. what can I do?

    I guess I put all info at top, sorry. Websites are displaying strange. When I use firefox they come up normal. Do I have flashback virus? what do I do to correct problem.

    Thank you both for responding . After my posting I kept digging, I now know I don't have flashback. But, as to the strange part the pdf will  show. Before problem that started about 2 weeks ago. The content was spread across the web page now it's all to the left going straight down. Also each action I get a slow script message and action is only completed when I hit cancel.

  • Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.

    This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

    I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
    I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.
