Why do I get a pop up each time I start up

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • In FF8.01 how can I prevent the add-on check which pops up each time I start the program?

    In Firefox 8.01, each time I start Firefox, a box pops up indicating the program is checking to see if my addons are compatible. There are currently 3 which are not, and this box simply delays the program start to tell me the same thing every time I start Firefox. Most annoying. Is there a way I can prevent this box from appearing, or reduce it to once a week or once a month?

    FF9 does not seem to have the automatic plugin check, so the problem appears solved. Thanks !!

  • Why do I get an error message each time I try to convert a doc?

    I just subscribed to Adobe Export PDF....each time I try to convert a PDF to WORD I get an error message.

    We don't know the error message.

  • Why am I getting charged $1 for each time I convert a PDF to word when I have paid my subscription?

    Can someone help me get an answer I am trying to contact Adobe but I am not able to email someone to help me and now I am having to think about finding another company to do this for me that will give me the customer service that I need and not charge me when it says that I have unlimited conversions.  I am confused about this product and the online service that ADOBE have sold me.

    I have subscribed to AdobeExport PDF the annual subscription.  I paid $19.99 for it and now I am having $1 amount taken out of the mastercard by Adobe systems Dublin GBR who also took my annual subscription payment.  I did not authorise them to keep my mastercard details but I have seen on my adobe account that the subscription will automatically be renewed each year!  I did not read anything about being charged a dollar for each conversion.  I think it is a great product but I not not paying $1 for each conversion of PDF to word, when they said I have unlimited conversions.
    Thanks for helping

  • Why am I aasked to sign in EACH time I start computer. This just began a month ago, never had this annoying problem before.

    When I start the computer, 99 out of 100 times, I get Server not found, try again, and when I click on that I get to my home page. Whenever I start computer, even when I don't get that message, I am asked to sign in, and enter my user name and password. I always opt for 2 weeks, but no matter, I still have to sign in. This never happened until about a month ago.If I shut down the computer and start it an hour or so later, it STILL happens.

    I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

    Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
    First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
    Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
    One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

  • Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit laptop.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it.  After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success.  Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA.  Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully.  I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough.  The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded.  Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up and needs to be reset. <br />

    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />

  • I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8.  I tried to reinstall but it won't work. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8.  I tried to reinstall but it won't work. This has never happened before.  I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't have time machine. 

    By Toolbar, do you mean the Dock?  The Translucent bar normally at the bottom of the screen, but sometimes at the right or left side?
    If that's what you mean, the Dock is merely a shortcut to what is already inside the Applications folder's Microsoft Office 2011 folder.  If you have Word inside your Microsoft Office 2011 folder, you can drag it back to the Dock.
    If you deleted the Microsoft Office folder, or it is empty, you'll have to reinstall it. 
    If you don't have your registration code, you'll have to call Microsoft for a new one.
