Can't get rid of ads popping up and open up every few minutes.

Every few minutes i get pop up ads and/or windows that open and play music or videos. I can't get rid of this and it's using all of my internet and slows it down a lot.

You should check with a mal- / adware scanner. 
There are several scanners for example Malwarebytes or CCleaner. 
I myself like and use Malwarebytes, see for info and free download https://www.malwarebytes.org/

I hope it doesn't effect how I down load my itunes to my ipod and iphone.
No you should be fine. (The MobileMe service is being shut down, anyway, so there should be no impact at all.)

Can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

In iWeb 2009, can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

You have to put them on the server where you are publishing your site to. Where are you hosting your site? If it's a MobileMe account then you have two options:
1 - put the photos in a folder, name it "Pics" and put that folder in your iDisk/Pictures folder. Then use the following URL: http://homepage.mac.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/.Pictures/Pic/FileName (don't forget the period before Pictures).
2 - put the "Pics" folder with image files in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/FileName.
If you're hosting on a 3rd party server it would depend on if you're using a domain name or not. I'm not familiar with 3rd party servers so Wyodor, Ethmoid or someone that is will need to point the way.

I can't get rid of somoto toolbar search and default homepage. Somoto doesnt appear in the list of searching and also not as installed software in my computer.

I can't get rid of Somoto, it doesnt appear in my search engine list and also not in my list of installed add ons or software, but its there, it is also my default homepage if i open a new tab. any idea?
thanks

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button ''next to this post'' after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks.

How to permanently get rid of ads, pop up surveys and all pop ups

I have recently been getting bombarded with pop ups, ads and surveys coming up on pretty much every Web page I visit. Iv tried many different things to get rid of this. Iv download ad block plus, iv removed all extensions and iv reset firefox to default settings. Resetting firefox did fix this for about 10 days but now it is happening again and is getting very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated

Is this problem on Windows or Mac? (I assume it is not on Android.)
If the problem is on Windows, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning those up:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program (on XP: Add/Remove Programs). After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

Can't get rid of ads in Safari. Please advise something.

I have macbook late 2011 model and using Yosemite OS. I have installed 2 to 3 ad blocker extensions but still no matter what website i click or what page i click, it opens up new links and some of them says about virus and some don't. But the thing is its getting really hard to use this because of ads. Cant use or open any website without opening a ad, and then most of the time i have to quit safari in order to get rid of that ad.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Can't get rid of Ads in Safari or Chrome

I have a 13" late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display and I let my brother use it to try and mod his GTA V so he downloaded a whole bunch of programs and files and didn't bother to look at the options so now I have a bunch of ads whenever I use Safari or Google Chrome and I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of them. For example when I went to type in my password to log into the apple communities, I was brought to another website. I deleted all the junk he downloaded and I've uninstalled Chrome multiple times. I am currently beta testing OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Any suggestions to remove the ads?

I called Apple and they found the solution. Open finder and in the top bar of the screen hit go. Go into the computer and click Macintosh HD and open the folder named Library. Find the folders LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons. Go into both folders and delete anything that may be suspicious. Mine was com.vsearch.www or something like that. Empty the trash bin and restart your computer. That should fix the problem.

When I open firefox, a pop up window asks "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? How can I get rid of this pop-up window ?

Every time I open the browser, a pop-up window asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?"
It is unnecessary and annoying to have to click "yes" each time.
How can I get this pop-up window to stop?

Thanks for the help I'll keep the info just in case - but I got so frustrated that I just deleted the program and then re downloaded the current version now everything works fine.

Need help!!! how to get rid of ads (pop under)

i need help! does anyone know how to get rid of popunder ads! doesn't matter how...i just want them gone!

The simple answer is to avoid the sort of trashy website that serves such ads. The complicated answer is to disable JavaScript when visiting those sites, or to install ad-blocking software such as GlimmerBlocker.

I do not have a fax machin, but get a fax message when I try to print something off the internet and can't get rid of the pop-up so how to fix?

I have been dealing with this problem about a week. I have turned the computer completely off at night, but it does not correct the situation . I cannot print anything off the internet as long as the fax message is on there. I do not have a fax machine and do not want one.

What is that fax message '''on'''? Hard to understand how that is a Firefox support issue as Firefox doesn't have any fax capabilities.
Perchance, do you have an all-in-one printer which can receive a fax message? Printer, scanner, and fax machine combined. 
If so, try looking at your user manual for that all-in-one to learn how to print that message. Or consult with a support forum for that brand all-in-one printer.
Or maybe your problem is with the Windows 7 Fax and Scan feature?

In can't get rid of new tabs/popup windows opening up

I cant get rid of pop up windows. Whenever I am on a web page a new tab will open up and will be some sort of advertisement. I have run CC Cleaner, McAfee, Spybot and advanced system cleaner several times. My pop up blocker is on and there are no exceptions listed under it. I also have the adblockplus addon installed but they still keep hijacking my browser. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox and still nothing. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone please help me?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
