Cant get rid of a popup redirect window in Safari

Im trying to help a fellow Mac friend remove a redirect popup in Safari ( http://premium_.s3.amazonaws.com ). We've tried resetting Safari with all check boxes selected ( cache, history, and cookies ) with no luck. Any ideas?? The full URL of the pop up is; http://premium_.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIKDZBVZT6ABSN6MA& Expires=1297868651&Signature=%2BFSgnYpjonDbt7%2B6PHvBpR4xo4o%3D
Thanks
(( some Windows sites state this is actually a virus ))

Hi,
If it was a virus, it would be for Windows, not Mac and there are no downloadable files available from those links.
Redirects are a result of your friends ISP.
Quit Safari (Command + Q)
Change to OpenDNS to avoid redirects. It's free and includes anti phishing filters.
Open System Preferences / Network. Click the Advanced tab then select the DNS tab.
Click + then type in these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click + again
Type in these numbers.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Relaunch Safari.
More about OpenDNS here. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1660439

How do I get rid of the popup that says the safari version I am using does not support the community toolbar?

Please Help

You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow these instructions.
If the instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder…
Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
Repeat with this line:
/Applications/Toolbars
Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
/Library
Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site.

I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine. Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store. Help.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

How can i get rid of mackeeperapp popup

I call a class using a Button but i cant get rid of the old page??

Hey,
I cant get rid off the current page when i want to go to the next page! this.dispose(); doesnt work because the class doesnt implement ActionListener!! This is the code that i have used:
JButton back = new JButton("BACK");
        back.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                   VowelmSound s = new VowelmSound();
                    s.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
                    s.show();
                    //this.dispose();
         });         });       and this is the code for main
public static void main(String[] args)
{JFrame draw = new punjabidraw();
         draw.setVisible(true);
}so was wondering if there was another method i could use to get rid of the old page?? repaint maybe???
Hope you can help
Kind Regards
RSH

//this.dispose(); 'This' is a nameless ActionListener object. Can't be dispose()ed.
What do you want to dispose() really?
And, what is your punjabidraw class?
Save the currend page reference in a variable called, say, curPage, then do
curPage.dispose();in the event handler for the button.

HT2500 CANT GET RID OF GMAIL LABELS ON APPLE MAIL.

Hi,
Can somebody please help me.
I was using Apple Mail with my Gmail for quite some time then I had to use Outlook provided by my workplace. I recently left the job and now back on using Apple mail to manage my gmail.
I just noticed that there's this weird thing 'labels'. I spent some time going through threads and changed settings few times..... but I cant get rid of this [google mail] underneath my mailboxes which I used to see and use before.
I dont like to see this [google mail] thing as it seems a duplication to me.
And since I dont access usually from gmail via webmail but more often with Apple Mail, I liked how it worked - delete on Apple Mail gets deleted on gmail server.... I just want to use it as it was before.....
I cant find the way and since theres no contact email for google nor help centre, can someone please please help me? Im attaching screenshots here below...
I JUST HATE UGLY UNNECESSARY STUFF ON MY LAYOUT¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ in this case - the label...
Many thanks,
T

In that case, you have the Downlite (aka VSearch, aka DynamicPricer) adware installed at a minimum. See:

A message has popped up in safari saying we have won a prize cant get rid of it

a message has popped up in safari saying we have won a prize cant get rid of it

Try a reset : 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Then when the iPad has restarted clear Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
You could also close Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
