Yahoo toolbar appeared without my consent. Can't get rid of it. Does not appear in list of add-ons or in list of programs installed for uninstall. (Win7; FFx5) Please help me delete this annoyance.)

I was prompted to update Java. I got a YAHOO toolbar which I did and do not want. I can't get rid of it. It does not appear on the Add-on list, not in the programs list (to uninstall). Can't find anything with Yahoo in the name. I do not want to use View, because it keeps coming back into view without my consent -- I want it gone permanently.
The uninstall directions in Yahoo help call for click on pencil tool (which tool is not found on this toolbar). Firefox instructions say go to Add-on list, but the Yahoo bar is not there. There are several Java add-ons, but I don't know what they are and what happens if they are uninstalled.
Win 7; Firefox 5.0; Yahoo toolbar ver 2.3.8.20110620112826
Perhaps it is disguised as something else. If so please tell me what to uninstall.

Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here?

  • Been stuck for over  a year, please help me do this

    so i have this laptop with 8gb ram and core i7 as well as 2 hdd (no raid).
    Now i heard about premiere (cs4) and my laptop is ready to take most of the advantage but the hard drive is the bootleneck.
    Basically, all i want is to do few cuts in a video that was filmed by sony hdr-sr11 camcoder in hd 1080 60i settings. Now i heard i need 3 hard drives etc, but at the moment, i only have 2.
    So is there anyway i can do simple cuts in premiere without losing any quality and slowdown in fps or is there any other software that can be better? I really don't want to lose any quality or fps with the g73jh-a2 asus laptop i have?
    i also have ati 5870 video card

    The lowest was 19mb, but was floating arond 30mb. Still that aint good..
    I can't afford the partition magic and i heard its not good to partition after installing windows. I am thinking of fresh install, but if there is a workaround, it would save me tons of time as not installing apps etc.
    For the setup
    1)Can i have the programs in secondary drive? What about just a game or 2?
    2)By projects, do you mean the videos that im going to edit?
    3)what is scratch?
    4) By media, do you mean videos im going to edit?
    Lastly, what about a bit of data? Like <50gb.. Pictures documents etc
    Like, truly anonymous

    i did hdtune and was the os drive was 100mb-19mb in the end and the
    secondary one was 105-45~mbps
    Those figures are disturbing. For any reasonably modern 7200 RPM disk these figures should be around 120 - 60 MB/s. If it goes down to below 20, something is seriously wrong. Now that may be caused by your partitioning or something else, hard to discern from here, but these results are worrisome.
    Maybe Partition Magic can help you get rid of all these partitions, otherwise a complete reformat and fresh install of OS & programs is all that is left.
    Setup should be something like this:
    C: OS & programs & projects
    D: Pagefile, scratch and media
    It depends a bit on the nature of your projects, your workflow, but in general you set up your disks in such a way that disk accesses are spread over the available disks as much as possible.

    You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

  • Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears: "The licensing of the product does not work" Fault 6 How should I proceed? Have the program installed on only one computer.

    Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears:
    "The licensing of the product does not work"
    Fault 6
    How should I proceed?
    Have the program installed on only one computer.

    Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
    Run the License Service Update.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
    a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg   It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
    b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
    c. Double-click Applications.
    d. Double-click Utilities.
    e. Double-click Terminal.
    f. Type sudo python
    Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
    g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
    It should look like this:
    h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
    (Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
    i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

  • How do I REMOVE an ADD-ON from my TOOLBAR, when said ADD-ON does NOT show up in my ADD ONS Manager?

    I have been instructed to:
    "When you open Firefox up in the left hand corner there is a drop down box that says "Firefox". Click on this and go to add-ons a new page will open with tabs on the side.
    Click on ADD-ONS, use ADD-ON Manager...."
    That does not happen that way. (I am on Firefox 19.0 for MAC.)
    When I click on Firefox (left hand corner at top of screen) "ADD-ONS" does NOT appear.
    I get "preferences" and "services" plus, of course ABOUT/HIDE/SHOW/QUIT choices.
    Running through ALL choices in PREFERENCES (which was not included as a step in your description) I find NO WAY to "deal with" ADD-ONS in General, Security, Privacy or Advanced.
    "services" says only NO SERVICES APPLY"
    I KNOW that I have an "ADD-ON Manager" I can open that. The ADD-ON that I need to REMOVE/Uninstall/Disable does NOT show there.
    It is an ICON on the lowest level of my toolbars showing above my window. Whether this is an awesome bar, or any other specially named bar I can't tell you, but: LOWEST section.
    This creepy ADD-ON (that I never personally installed) is called PRICEGONG - and it is now opening up a pop-up on all my eBay pages and elsewhere -trying to sell me things.
    It is wasting SO much of my time and I need to get it gone.
    WHAT do I do now? The PRICEGONG company has explanation of what to do to uninstall, but (no surprise) THEIR instructions/steps do not match reality either. RESULT: I can't get RID of this thing and am wasting huge amounts of time now with it.
    WHAT CAN I DO?

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

  • The menu icons for yahoo toolbar are gone and I can't get them back. Uninstalled, reinstalled, no icons. What do I do?

    This is the second time in a week this has happened. The last time I got them back by right clicking on a blank spot in the toolbar. That will not work this time. I there anything else I can do to make it work right. It is working fine on Explorer 8, which I have also, but really prefer Firefox. Please tell me how to fix it. Also, I keep getting updates to Firefox, but they seem to be unable to connect to the update server most of the time.

    I repurchased one ring tone, backed up my phone and tried to download a book again.  Then I restored and did not get my ringtone back.
    Also, one of my audio books is still there, but the first one I bought is not.  It does not make sense.

  • Where did the little "flashing pumpkin" on the bottom toolbar come from and how can I get rid of it?

    On the bottom toolbar, right hand side, next to my incredimail icon, recently appeared a little "flashing pumpkin". I have not clicked on it because I don't know where it came from or why it is there and do not want to risk getting a virus. When you hover over it with the mouse, it says "Happy Halloween" in the dialog box that appears above it. If you right click on it, the only options are "Open Message" or "Leave it"?

    I have uninstalled the flash player and installed it numerous times with no recognition by the Firefox plug-ins. I also have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it as well. I have also restarted my computer several times as well. The flash player is certainly installed but not working on Firefox. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How can I get rid of email address not in use

    I have an email address which I used to set up my Apple ID. That address is now disabled so I have gone to my details and updated them to the new address. But I can't sign in to iCloud or update my apps as it keeps telling me to sign in using the now disabled email address. In iTunes I can change it to my new address, but not apps or iCloud. When I go to reset the password I am asked to change the password in my new address but that's not what I want to do. I've tried all the different passwords I can think of when using the old address but none work. Also I selected personal details rather than email as it would never get through, obviously, and so put in my birthday.  But they say my birthday date is not in their records!  What?  So I go to my details and there it is, in black and white, exactly what I was typing in! This is driving me insane. Is there any way I can delete my original, without having to put in the password for that ID?  I really hope someone can help me.  I did see a section somewhere which said did I want to delete an old email address but again, I had to put in the password for that email address and I DON'T HAVE IT!
    By the way, I am an OAP. So I would appreciate it if anyone who can help makes it easy to understand!  Many thanks.

    After you sign in with the old ID and are presented with the option to keep the information on the iPad, you should say yes to that. Then you should be able to delete the account on the device. After you delete the account, you can - or you should be able to - sign in with the new Apple ID.
    I tried these very same steps on my Pod Touch and it worked exactly the way that I'm describing. When you sign in again with the new ID, you will be given the option to merge Reminders, Bookmarks, Etc, with those in iCloud.com. I selected the option to merge all of the information. Nothing was duplicated and everything was exactly as it was before I deleted the iCloud account.
    So ... sign into your new ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the new ID. Then delete the old iCloud account like I explained above and then sign in with the new Apple ID, all of your purchased content and iCloud content should be good to go.
