Agressive popup that cannot be blocked

Annoying tiny popup in blue pops up on every webpage I visit
My Firefox setting allow no popups so it must get around your safety system
Would like to send you a screen print but this system doesn't let me

hello, you can attach a screenshot in a reply to this question (& it would certainly help us understand what is going on)!
as a first troubleshooting step you could try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too - maybe a malicious extension is causing the issue.

  • Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:  FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

    Dear Community,
    Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
    FaceTime Password
    Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
    It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
     I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system. 
    Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
    TIA,
    GonzoBernelli

    That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
    It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • I have an iMac on OSX 10.7.5 with Safari 6.1.6. Opening Safari produces a popup that cannot be removed, thus disabling everything else. How can I eliminate this?

    Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post here.
    Before going further, we must make sure that we have enabled Malware inspection and we need to note that web protection need license.
    Please follow the steps below to verify if your malware inspection is enabled meanwhile update the latest definitions.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd441078.aspx
    Additionally, you could try to check both “Block encrypted files” and “Block Files That Cannot Be Scanned” options to see if it works.
    Best Regards
    Quan Gu 
    hi quan, thanks.
    malware inspection is enabled with evaluation license & is not expired.
    both chek marks are selected but it again doesn't block password-protected rar files. if possible please test that.
    many thanks in advance

  • Firefox is blocking popups that I want to see, even after I have unchecked the Block Popup Windows in Options.

    There are several sites that provide popups that I want to see. Firefox had not been blocking them previously. Then today it did. I went to Options and listed these sites as exceptions. It still blocked them. I went to options and unchecked Block Popup Windows. It still blocked them. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled a new copy. It still blocks them. What do I do now?
    BTW, this does not occur when I access the same sites with Internet Explorer.

    I have the same issue. I am using windows 7 ultimate and have it on a laptop which has no issues. It is only one pop up i want to come up and it blocks it. I am using zone alarm as well, and I turn it off and it makes no difference. IE works and I HATE Microsoft. I wish Mozilla would come up with a fix.

  • Uninstall Skype and use Viber because Skype popup is hijacking Hotmail blocking access to emails.

    Uninstall Skype and use Viber because Skype popup is hijacking Hotmail blocking access to emails. Theres no other option than accepting Skypes Intrusion.    Get new email accounts somewhere. Use two weeks to change the emailaddresses everywhere.You cannot get refund on your account. Call youre mother.THANK YOU Skype and good bye

    Perhaps what you say is true, but in this situation it is irrelevant.
    I install an upgrade to a functioning Skype installation.  I then click a checkbox to prevent Skype from starting automatically.  And this procedure wipes out my port setting?  Sorry, only if Skype has a bug does it do that.
    If there was a port number problem, the upgrade introduced it or clicking the setting to prevent Skype startup automatically introduced it or the installation was corrupted by some other means.
    My approach was to clean up the installation by uninstalling.  And as I discovered, Skype has its tentacles deep into the registry and provides no mechanism to perform the required clean up.  I am requesting Skype automate that cleanup rather than inflict an arduous, error prone manual procedure on the baffled user.

  • Your iPad is already active on a subscription plan that cannot be managed on this device

    Help?
    I got the new Verizon Ipad a few weeks ago and just now attempted to activate the 4g service. The first few attempts resulted in an error message related to my SIM card (something to the effect that it had already been in use or something). After calling Verizon and taking the card out, running through a script, and putting it back in, we eventually got it to the point where we could connect to the 4G service and that specific SIM card error message went away. However, now I am getting this error: "Your iPad is already active on a subscription plan that cannot be managed on this device". I called and talked to another rep who said they are experiencing this issue with a number of Ipads and she was submitting a ticket for me to get the error "cleared out". She said it could take a week?
    When I go in and click "View Account" I either get this error message above or I get a brand new registration window to start all over again. Then immediately the "LTE" goes away in the upper left, it starts searching again, eventually finds the signal, and I get a popup saying "cellular data plan has been activated" or something to that effect. Then I am good to go.
    Anyone dealing with this and have it cleared up? They are acting like its something in their system that will just go away on its on but I don't buy it. I am getting the service so I am just trying to get the "view account" functionality to work. Thanks all.

    I had the same problem activating. I had gotten one error message when trying to activate. I didn't write the phone number down. I tried "View Account" again and then it started giving the error about the SIM card already being set up on an account. When I called that Verizon number the guy said I would need to go to a VZW store and get a new SIM card, but he did see the account in their system.
    A while later I decided to just restart the iPad and I started getting the original message that just said it couldn't activate right now and to try again later.  It provided a different phone number, which is the Verizon mobile broadband support number. When I called it the lady knew exactly what to do. She said the payment to the credit card hadn't gone through and she would have to push it through manually (this sometimes happens with certain credit cards when they see new online cellular service).  She had me go to settings / reset / and to reprovision the account and reboot while she did some things on her side.  When it came back up it was able to activate and the LTE even showed up. I also checked my credit card online and it only showed the $20 charge (for 1 GB Plan).
    However, as you stated, when I go to "View Account" it says that the iPad is already active on a subscription that cannot be managed on this device and gives the mobile broadband support number. I will wait a few days and see if it clears up on its own, but at least the data is working.

  • I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one

    I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I keep getting an AVG popup about cookies that I cannot get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.

    I have a popup that says "pcteckers.com" continuing to pop-up.  There is no visible way for me to close it.  it prompts me to call an 877 number and give a code to get it to go away.  It has completely taken over safari and I cannot do anything at all with safari except open it, be annoyed by the popup, and shut down the whole app.  Please help!

  • FRM: 41056 Cannot find block Invalid ID (Solved)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a package Variable(x) declared in the package spec(Y) of my form.
    In when_button-pressed trigger I wrote code like this.
    Y.X:=NULL;
    I am getting FRM: 41056 Cannot find block Invalid ID.
    Can anyone please help me on this regard?

    Forms

    Gurus,
    thanks for your advice.
    Actually in the package specification (in Forms) there was some other varible whose initial value was based on a block which did not exist in my forms.
    So that caused the problem.
    Sorry for the silly question.
    Thanks,

  • The sales document cannot be blocked

    Hi,
    Our client has deleted some shipment directly from the R/3 system. The Client is using CRM  System for Sales and Marketing. Now whenever we are opening the system in the change mode it is giving error "The sales document cannot be blocked" Error Message v1043.
    This is happening for some material. We have checked the Notes and found some. We came to know that the shipment related to the order has been forcefully deleted from the r/3 system after releasing the shipment.
    Can anybody tell me is there any way to solve the issue without applying notes.
    Thanks
    Subrato Chowdhury

    Dear friend,
    As our friend says check the schedule line first is it confirmed order qty and try delivery before that see if you have any delivery block in order if you don't have any block in sales order, once you get that error double click and see what response you get from performance assistant, see if you could locate the area were u get the problem.
    Regards,
