Can't get rid of Make Yahoo My Homepage screen
I downloaded Avast & Malwarebytes, ran them, then deleted them. Avast downloaded Chrome automatically. I deleted that but It changed my homepage from Yahoo to something else. I got the homepage back to Yahoo but every time I call it up, another screen saying "To Make Yahoo Your Homepage Do This". I do what it says but the To Make page comes up every time Yahoo home page comes up. I tried redoing Firefox but that does not help. Assistance would be appreciated.

Can't get rid of Company code in variant screen
hello,
I have a report whereby if I delete the values in company code variant screen it comes back next time I run the report again.
I don't want these values to appear everytime.
I checked the company code variable used in query designer and it set as "process by Authorization".
how do i get rid of these.
thanksHi,
thanks for your input. although it didn't solve the issue because the predefined selection is not a variant but authorization. Anyways I used your method to create a workaround solution by creating a new variant without any predefined selections. the user can now choose the variant without any selections at any time
points is now awarded to you

Can't get rid of safesear.ch for homepage
I can't change my homepage to yahoo, its safesear.ch. I've tried EVERYTHING: updated firefox, refreshed firefox thru troubleshooting information twice, scanned 3times(once was full scan) thru windows defender, micro-soft security safety utilities, malwarebytes & removed all unnecessary quarantine files, restarted without addons twice, went options tried all 3 "show homepage-blank page-last browser &tabs" etc.... In the grey area under options,general, homepage it won't let me type in mozilla firefox homepage, have firefox checked for default under general, also in my default settings. There is something I'm missing have read every article there is on setting homepage for firefox. Have never had this problem before with setting homepage. There's nothing downloaded in programs, checked windows update. PC is running great, no virus Toshiba Laptop windows8.1 64bit!! Can somebody PLEASE HELP ME...I would really appreciate it...........
Hi, you seem to have done almost everything! [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware This article] will probably tell you what you already know, but try any of the malware removal links near the bottom of the page that you haven't done already - in particular AdwCleaner.
It might help to know if other browsers you may have are affected, because if they are, it will prove that it's not a FF specific problem.
It's likely that this malware was bundled with something you downloaded - uninstalling that might remove it, although you will probably have to remove the malware separately.
Have you thoroughly searched your hard drive? I suggest you enable Show Hidden Files and Folders - [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/show-hidden-files-in-windows-8/ instructions here,] then go to your hard drive, and in particular, open Users > Personal Folder (your name) > App Data > Roaming, and have a look in there - you can right click to delete, but only if you're certain it's the right file! -

I've used the option dialogue box and set the default webpage to my own but yahoo comes up instead. They must be desperate! This really stinks. How can I get rid of it?
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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode -
After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very short and narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... when it pops up, always upper left of my laptop screen and I try to get into my yahoo mail web page, I get a DING sound and cannot enter it ... everything is frozen. I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it - and then reload my Firefox browser to get back to my yahoo e-mail page ... fortunately for me, Firefox re-stores a previous session ... How can I get rid of this intrusive thing, and what is it? Thanks in advance ... Ted Beaudoin, Welland, ON, Canada

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? -
I cant get rid of the yahoo bookmark in my bookmarks toolbar, just like a disease it wont just go away, how can I get rid of this pest?

Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in. I can't get rid of them. I've tried clearing the cache and cookies. I couldn't find an option to clear private data, don't know if that would work. My Yahoo password is not saved and my password is not the problem. I just want to know how to delete previously used emails from logging in suggestions so they stop appearing, hope you can help, cheeeers - Dave.
Thanks very much for the response Sandee. I tried your suggestion of the Annotation option and this worked! - wonderful.. altho this test now works for me I'd still love to get it working from InDesign.
What I'm trying to achieve... my client had 5 powerpoint presentations that need updating with new branding (totally about 160 pages - with about 20 basic animations - i.e. flashing lights on products etc).
I sold him on the idea of using InDesign/PDF rather than powerpoint - but am needing to find an easy solution for the animations. So I've been working on this test file. Have self taught myself on a basic flash animation (from Lynda.com)... and tried importing both SWF and QT .MOV into InDesign and then exporting to PDF and when it loaded up in Acrobat it would always "unexpectedly quit" upon opening... even after trying different versions of PDF compatibility and restarting etc.
Is there something obvious that I'm not doing right?
Also if I get it to work, does that mean that my client and all their staff around the world will need to be Acrobat Reader 9?
Thanks again for your time and help

Clicking the Firefox icon to open it is fine but if I open a new tab (Control T) it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo? It's not in Tools Add-ons or Extensions and Windows control panel doesn't show Yahoo either.

whenever i am opening a new tab - yahoo search page is opening up. How can I get rid of this. I want a blank page to be open up instead of yahoo search page in new tab.
This might be a feature of the Yahoo toolbar. Can you live without it? To disable or remove the toolbar, use
Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
After restarting Firefox, do new tabs become blank again? -
Whenever I go to make an in-app purchase, a message pops up saying "this is not a test user account." What does that mean and how can I get rid of it so I can purchase things?
Try a soft-reset and see if it works after your phone has restarted (it seems ot have fixed the error for a number of people on here) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
