Ads at bottom of clean pc

Dell Dimension 3000, xp pro, sp3, browsers IE8, and Firefox, fully updated and patched.
ran full scans with malwarebytes, microsoft safety scanner and Microsoft security essentials, all clean.
see the pics below: well seems I cannot add a picture, when I go to shockwave daily puzzles, there is an ad running on the bottom of the screen between the bottom of the puzzle screen and the taskbar.
I reset firefox to see if the prob was corrected and took another screenshot which I cannot show here, the prob was not corrected.
Also resetting firefox, now links are opened and switched to a new tab immediately and I will have to go back to about.config to change them to open in a new tab but to not switch.

was able to add images after the fact
I installed firefox because secunia psi said that IE was not secure to browse even though it is fully patched.
ads are only at this website, and do not appear when I use IE8 for the same website.

How do I get rid of pop up ads at bottom of page while doing surveys that block my continuing doing the survey?

I have been doing surveys for a long time online. I just got Windows 8 a couple of weeks ago. This week while on Pinecone Research and Valued Opinions I had pop ups that appeared at the bottom of the page and covered up the next button so you could not continue the survey. I had to go back to the email and and click it to restart the survey and then go question by question to get where I was at. I cannot click these pop up off the screen, there is no x anywhere. They come on with each question I do of the survey. It is taking forever to finish a survey having to start over with each question. It is a real pain. How do I stop these pop ups from coming on while doing surveys? this is a new computer and I have never had a problem like this before. Is this something to do with Windows 8?

Hey Sweeneyword, there is an addon available for firefox called adblock plus:

This should block the ads that are keeping you from continuing. You should also clear your history, cookies, etc and make sure you have malware protection installed.

Ads on bottom of sreen

How do I get rid of ads that pop up on bottom of screen? 19sl410u Thanks

I tried shutting off the Regza link but alas, logos continued to pop up. Finally, on the Setup menu surfing around, I found a line called STICKER DEMO and turned it from ON to OFF. THAT did the trick! I am writing so that if you are stumped, as I was, after turning off the REGZA Link, you can try that.

I keep seeing ads for MacKeeper to 'clean' you Mac.

Has anyone downloaded this? Is it safe? Does it work?

From the review:
Some tools make it too easy to disrupt important OS X components. The uninstaller offered only a basic warning (and, happily, asked for our administrator password) when deleting hard-to-replace utilities like Keychain Access. But it also only partially deleted our Adobe apps.
And several MacKeeper tools duplicate existing OS X features—like backup, file searching, even choosing login items—while falling far short of Apple’s ease of use. Despite extensive customer-service options, MacKeeper probably isn’t something to install for Grandma to run on her iMac between your visits.
Some features offer inconsistent results. Easy to trash key files. Middling documentation. No disk repair tool.
IMO it is, and remains, worthless over-priced crap that WILL disrupt your system.

Is it necessary to "clean" your Mac? I'm not s but I've been getting ads about cleaning your Mac. What does it do? Would it make surfing the web faster? thanks

HI, is it necessary to "clean" your Mac? I'm not sure what that means or what it does but I've been getting ads that offer to clean it. Would doing that make surfing the web faster? Thanks!

Suggestions for Mac maintenance
Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off-site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
Keep your software up to date. Software Update can be set to notify you automatically of updates to the Mac OS. Some third-party applications have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless. The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until recently, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous. There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable. Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a known corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” “rebuilding the directory,” “running periodic scripts,” “deleting log files,” “scanning for viruses,” or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are for solving problems as they arise, not for maintenance. The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Don’t waste money on Disk Warrior or anything like it.

Can't stop Pop up ads on yahoo home page

Hi,
I have 3GS with latest 4.3.3 os. Last couple of days, every time I open yahoo home page (uk.m.yahoo.com) I get pop up ad at bottom of the page. Clicking on the close button only removes it to a tap that appears at edge of screen. If I open the ad to full page and close the ad it doesn't disappear but goes back to sitting at the bottom of the page again. The ad is for the 'green lantern' or 'lynx body spray'. I've been into safari settings and the block pop ups is on. I've cleared history, cookies and cache, Rebooted iPhone but it keeps appearing.
This pop up is really annoying and blocks the view of the bottom of the screen! Never had this problem til couple of days ago. I'm on a data plan so it's not because I'm pay as you go.
Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!

Update-
If I select an article from yahoo's home page and then use the 'back' button at the top of the articles page, when returning to yahoo's home page the ad dissapears. If I use the iphones 'back' button to return to yahoo's home page then the ad returns!
Not a fix but a work round to not have annouying ads filling bottom of yahoo's home page!

I have all my clips with an extra edge around the top and bottom I want to remove

As you can see from the image below, I have all my source videos recorded at 1024x820. I want to, using Premiere clip this to 1024x768 removing some from both the top and bottom. I'll have hundreds of clips of this shape (1024x820) I will import into premiere. Is there some kind of transformation I can do that will clip the top and bottom so that my exports come out at 1024x768? I don't want to shrink the full picture, I want to clip the top and bottom edges cleanly.

All I am doing is the following:
import my mov file that is 1024 x 820
create a sequence that is 1024 x 768
export the sequence
I made a video showing the steps (very boring, sorry).
I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing. i'm 99% sure my result is wrong from the looks of it in the movie player.
here is the video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wjs8p3v0sjh8uv/livewriterdemo_fromcamtasia_final.mov

Pro9000 Mark II has smudges even after cleaning

I am at a loss to figure out how to fix this issue. I am attempting to print a couple 8x10s for a client and every print has smudgy lines in it. I've spent the last hour cleaning, deep cleaning, aligning print heads, roller cleaning and bottom plate cleaning, as well as wasting 3 ink cartriges and 6 sheet pieces of paper trying to fix this issue. Can someone give me some guidence as to next steps?

It looks like you have ink or dirt on the rollers. Obviously the printers self cleaning is not going to fix it!
The 9000 is difficult to get inside of but that may be required. Are the smudges in the same place each time? How about running a lot of regular bond paper through it with out printing on it?

Superimposed letters when printing

Hi,
When printing, some lines come written with double letter effect: For example, the word "is: comes written like iiss. The letters are so close that are almost on top of each other. Some times they are so close the word looks like is written in bold letters. This does not happen to all of the text on the page, but to many parts of it. Some time it is just a phrase or two in one line, sometimes, is a whole sentence, sometimes the whole line or more is written like that. In a full page, about 3/4 of it comes like that. It looks like h---
The problem happens whether I print a word document or a web page.
I've checked Google, Microsoft forums, and Cannon forums for an answer, but can't find anything that helps.
I went to Properties and did almost everything in Maintenance: Cleaning, Head alignment, Nozzle check, Bottom plate cleaning, Alignment, Tried manual alignment in Custom Settings. I even tried cleaning inside the printer,and behind the ink cartridges with a q tip. Nothing helps.
The printing or the columns when checking the Head Alignment were not straight. After doing the alignment, they appeared straighter, but not completely straight after printing again. But I don't know how they are supposed to look like.
In Word, I tried double checking my page set up, and also double checked my format and style settings. All was fine there.
My printer is only about 4 months old. It is Pixma MX432. I have Windows XP and IE 8 in my desktop, and Windows 8 and IE 10 in my laptop, but printing is the same no matter what computer I use. I have been sharing this printer with this 2 computer since I got it, and never had any problems until these last couple of weeks.
Any suggestions anybody?
Thanks, E

File.encoding won't swap

trying to help someone who has a windows file server originally installed for russian locale. they managed to swap it back to what they require (en_GB) but the JVM file encoding's still stuck on cp1251. they say they've changed the JVM config's file encoding ("-Dfile.encoding=cp1252") yet the system still reports cp1251 for the file encoding (even after several reboots). i don't see anything in the bug parade & i'm at a loss as to why this box won't swap it's JVM file encoding.
any ideas?
thanks.

which version of the videoencoder are you using?
2.0.0.494 edition (Brand New)
Remember that you can't crop all files at once . .
Oh, didn't see that in the manual!
Where the heck is it listed?
I tried to save a profile with the compression setting -
including cropping - but upon trying to use that saved profile - a
dialog box comes up with:
Warning: some of the settings (crop, trim, cue point . . . .
Too bad, so sad!
2,000+ movies is gonna take a long time!
Their huge files - broadcast DVC-Pro - and the overscan - and
interlace top & bottom show up . . . . Aaarrrgggg!
Bye the way - is it 4 pixels cropped - top & bottom - to
clean it up ?
And shouldn't a few (maybe 2 pixels) on each side be cropped
as well?
Any other suggestions on how to automate what I need to do
(deinterlace, crop 4 pixels top & bottom & 2 pixels sides -
exported "High Quality / large)
Thanks for responding so far - sure helps clarify things!

Unable to type in the "login" keychain password

When I switch on my iMac G5 I am asked for my keychain password: but I can't type in the space provided. I can still use the computer normally, e-mail, internet etc. are all unaffected but the pop-up box asking for the keychain password won't go away, (and won't allow me to type in the password).
The message I get is, "com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to use the "login" keychain"

Only thing that got me around this was a clean install of Mavericks on the new Mac and , when I used migration assistant, avoiding transferring the network settings. It was my mother in law's Mac so I essentially only transferred her documents and mail messages. I then went back later and manually transferred the music and photos. I ' knew' there was some issue with the OS itself because I had tried to clone the old system with Super Duper as an extra back up and even that balked with an error. Shrit Pocket Supprt read the error file and it was they who divined that that my "old" copy of OSX was corrupted. Plus I was umm more familiar with this scenario as this was the second Mac that I was having this issue with. Admittedly both the upgrades in question were from Macs that had been transferred and transferred and transferred etc so I am not surprised that there was something crappy that had got passed through. Bottom line: clean install of Mavericks then manually move over what you need is the cleanest way in this scenario unfortunately. Yes a whole lotta work!

On multiple file encoding - won't let me crop

Hi everybody -
Just beginning the compression stage of my dance video
project(s).
When adding 70+ videos to the Flash Video Encoder - I am able
to make all the settings I want - except
being able to "Crop" 4 pixels from top, bottom and each side
(deinterlacing still showed top & bottom issues).
It's fields are not active, and won't let me to crop.
Is it something I'm doing wrong, or have I missed a step
along the way?
Thanks for helping if you can!
Kind regards,
Luke Wonderly

MG5520 Printing is "Wavy" - Text not printed straight

Background:
I have a MG5520 printer, which I got towards the end of Spring semester of 2014 for school. I kept it stored over the summer in a climate controlled environment. I have a MacBook Pro and a 2004 Microsoft Word Document setup. My ink levels are adequate (1/4 full), and I do intend on changing them.
Current Problem: It is printing all text that goes horizontal in a sort of wavy formation. I'm not sure if this has to do with the ink levels, but I am positive that I have an adequate supply of ink.
Current Moves Executed to Resolve Issue: I have performed Maintenance of the machine by "Print[ing] the nozzle check pattern," "Cleaning," "Deep Cleaning," "Auto head alignment," "Print[ing] the head alignment value," "Roller cleaning," and "Bottom plate cleaning."
Result: Currently, all of those moves were in vain, and the problem persists.
What I need: Guidance and Assistance with how to resolve this issue.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi FastTuhNap,
Based on your description of the issue, the Encoder Film inside the printer may be smeared. Please follow the procedures below to check the film condition, and clean it when necessary:
1. Press the power button to turn your PIXMA MG5520 off.
2. Unplug the power cord from the printer. Be sure to turn off the printer power and unplug the power cord first.
3. Open the Paper Output Cover.
4. Check if the Encoder Film inside the printer is clear. The Encoder Film is the transparent thin film. Please view this image:
5. If the Encoder Film is smeared as shown in the image, it needs to be cleaned.
6. Place a few drops of neutral detergent (2 to 3 drops of neutral detergent in 1/4 cup of tap water) on a cotton swab with water. CAUTION: Do not use any other detergents.
7. Moisten a cotton swab with the prepared cleaning water. Eliminate extra water so that no water drops.
8. Using the moistened cotton swab, wipe the Encoder Film. CAUTION: Be cautious so that no water drops inside the printer.
CAUTION: Do not contact the rail. If the rail is contacted, the print quality may be deteriorated. The Encoder Film is fixed to the printer with the springs at the ends. If the film is pushed too strong, it may be dislocated. Do not push the film. Just gently move the cotton swab over the surface of the film.
Also, please keep your hands off the printer and clean the film with the tip of the cotton swab. Change the cotton swab to new ones frequently.
9. Eliminate any stains or smearing from the film until the entire film becomes transparent and clear.
10. If the trail of detergent is left on the film, clean it using a cotton swab that is moistened with just water. If moisture is left on the film, eliminate it using a dry cotton swab, and wait until the film dries well.
11. Close the Paper Output Cover, and plug in the power cord of the printer.
12. Press the power button to turn your PIXMA MG5520 on.
13. Please print a test page.
14. If the problem persists, check and clean the Encoder Film again.
If the print quality is still not improved even after repeated cleaning of the Encoder Film, it is recommended that you contact live technical support . There is NO charge for this call. Real time feedback of a live technical support call would be very beneficial in this case.
Please dial 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays). A Canon technical support representative will be able to resolve this issue faster.

Clone stamp tool blurs frame edge

I'm a newbie on After Effects, so please bear with me.
I'm trying to remove an electric wire that extends through frame, bisecting the bottom of frame and right edge. I'm using the clone stamp tool with "0" hardness and a 150pt brush, and the results are perfect. However, I have a problem I can't resolve. Because the wire extends "off frame", I start below frame with my brush and drag across the frame and off the right edge. The bottom is clean - but the right edge is "blurred" and no longer a straight edge.
Upon updating to Premiere Pro, the new comp shares that crooked edge.
How can I fully remove the wire and keep my nice straight frame edge?
Thank you.

After Effects CC updated. Here are screen shots. The shot is a body falling through frame. The camera pans, and in doing so reveals the wire. I had to "paint" the wire out frame by frame. This is the last frame (the body already gone). If you look on the right frame edge, above the midpoint, you can see where the frame "bulges" and "blurs". When the shot plays, as the cloned footage "travels" through frame, the "bulge" moves from bottom up along the edge. It's very noticeable. Oddly, there isn't the same issue with the bottom of frame - although I dragged with the clone stamp tool through that edge as well:

Canon Pro-100 13x19" Prints - Images suddently printing misaligned/slanted - Please help!

Hi, I purchased a Canon Pro-100 printer about two weeks ago and I have been printing lots of 13x19 prints on Canon brand semi-gloss paper. I have successfully printed about 60 prints, but suddenly I have an issue. The images are printing misaligned/slanted on the paper, so that there is a sliver of blank paper on the bottom right and bottom left. Here is a picture of what is happening to the prints:
http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/ad79/milligangames/101_22941_zpsf995dcd2.jpg
I have tried cleaning the bottom plate, cleaning the roller, aligning the print head both manually and automatically, but nothing is helping. When I print on 8.5x11 or 4x6 paper I do not seem to encounter this issue. Does this mean the paper is feeding unevenly for some reason? Please help!
