Can I stop AVG warning notices (excessive usage by Firefox) WITHOUT deactivating? (Thanks.)

Hello. Sorry I cannot give you the exact title/message -- it appears then disappears quickly.
Basically, it's a warning that Firefox is using excessive memory (..?). It is more of an annoyance than anything. How can I get AVG and Firefox to "play nice"? (;>) Thanks in advance for your help. ~IslandFox

You might want to contact AVG support and ask how to "tweak" or turn off the setting for that AVG feature.

  • How can I stop these update notices?

    I keep getting told that there are software updates, but when I go there, it is something I don't need. For example, I keep getting told that there is a digital camera RAW compatibility update. I don't need this, as I don't even have a digital camera. However, if I don't update, it just keeps telling me, so I just update and it goes away, for a while.
    I used to be able to stop this by setting the system to ignore these updates, but it seems I can no longer do that. Is there anything I can do about it?

    The OP may have his Software Update setting in System Preferences set to automatically check for updates.
    Advice to OP, accept the software updates if you want your system to continue running well.

  • HT2128 I write webpages and JavaScript files. Can I stop being warned about my own pages when I try to open them?

    Whenever I try to open one of the web pages or JavaScript files I have written, the TextEdit program and every browser will warn me that it was recently downloaded, and is dangerous to open.  It wasn't recently downloaded, I edited the document and saved it.  Can I get the system to recognize my files, and not warn me about them?  I don't mind being warned about other people's work -- it is comforting to know the system is watching out for me.
    I recently upgraded to OS X Lion, and it happens since then.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order.

  • How can I stop recent history being displayed in history menu without stopping remembering history altogether

    I'm using the latest release (10.0) and am looking for a way to stop the history from being displayed in the History menu without turning off History, so I can still access History by going into the library.

    I suppose it would help if I knew not only what you wanted but why, as there are a few possibilities that may help.
    You may use private browsing,to stop some events being logged into the history in the first place, you may also clear items,single ones if need be.
    * see[[Clearing Location bar history]]
    * and [[private browsing]]
    You can choose whether or not to display the history as suggested options from the location bar.
    * see [[location bar autocomplete#w_how-can-i-control-what-results-the-location-bar-shows-me]]_how-can-i-control-what-results-the-location-bar-shows-me
    If you save History, then it can be displayed, I dare say there are methods of removing the button/option to display history from the UseIneterface but it would still be available from the Library.
    Another option you may consider is settng up user accounts on the Operating System for different users, or even setting up separate firefox profiles for different users on the same OS account.

  • How can I stop my bank's web site crashing Firefox

    After Firefox's latest upgrade, I can no longer access my bank's web site (www.ca-nmp.fr) with Firefox. Whenever I try Firefox locks up.
    Other browsers are fine, and I am not aware of any changes to the site around the same time. Of course I can migrate to Chrome, but I have used Firefox for years. Any suggestions as to what can be done?
    I use Win XP Pro SP3 etc

    Does Firefox crash (close) or does Firefox only stop responding?
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can I stop the game that is on my Firefox homepage?

    How do I stop the annoying game that is on my Firefox home page?

    # Type ''about:config'' into the address bar and press Enter.
    # To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
    # In the search box, paste ''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl''
    # In the search results, double-click ''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl''
    # In the "Enter string value" dialog, press the Delete key so that there's no text remaining, then press either Enter or the OK button. As a side-effect, only default tips will be displayed below the search box, because new ones won't be fetched from the web anymore.
    # Type ''about:support'' into the address bar and press Enter.
    # Click the Show Folder button. A Windows Explorer window with your profile folder opens. In that window, open the ''storage'' folder, then the ''persistent'' subfolder.
    # Exit Firefox.
    # Delete the ''moz-safe-about+home'' folder.

  • Internet explorer warns about my applet, how can I stop it?

    I get the warning "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this web page from running scripts or ActiveX controls ..." when running the applet whose code is included below. How can I stop the warning from appearing, it is annoying?
    * @(#)*****.java

    import java.awt.*;

              g.drawString("Welcome to Java!!! ", 50, 60 );
    //          setColor(hej.getBlue());
              g.setColor (hej);
              g.fillOval(100,100,500,400);
    }

    You can probably alter your Internet Explorer browser settings by going to the menu <tools><internet options><security> and change one or more of the settings. Be careful about decreasing your security too much. Also, dont expect end-users to lower thier security settings to run your code.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • I've installed Version 5, but at least once a day I keep getting notices to update to Version 3.1.11. Why? How can I stop these?

    I installed Version 4, and then Version 5, and now at least once a day I get a notice to update to Version 3.1.11. I get this on my office computer and also at home. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

    I had to wait until it happened again, but it finally did, and I solved the problem. Boy was I stupid! It wasn't a plugin, it was ''Thunderbird'' 3.1.11. And I never noticed! Thank you all

  • Doing a 30 minute video created 15 Gigabyte of Internet usage. Why? And how can I stop this!

    Created a small, simple 30 minute video. Burned a few CDs. Downloaded one (1) sound track (a few MB). Internet usage soared to an unbelievable 15 GB!
    All data, files, etc on my PC, yet Premiere Elements used the Internet constantly, especially when burning CDs.
    Why? There was nothing to upload or download (except 1 sound track). This maxed my Internet allowance, and has cost me a lot of cash for extra capacity.
    How can I stop this data gluttony.
    Or do I have to junk a new, expensive program? (Premiere Elements 13.

    Contacted support.
    They say that this is 'impossible'!!!
    Went for Option 2. Accept one-time waste of Internet capacity. Write it off to painful experience. Junked Premiere Elements 13.
    Problem solved.
