Cloud Protection??? Taken over my computer.

I downloaded from the internet and now Cloud Protection has taken over my screen and will not go away unless I purchase it.I have uninstalled everything and it's still there. I would like to do system recovery to take it back to factory setting and I did copy the recovery discs at purchase in November 2010. Satellite C655. But it says I don't have Windows on the discs. I don't understand what's wrong or what I am doing wrong. Can someone please help me? I installed and ran VIPER and it cleaned over 276 infected files but there are still many .exe files saying infected so I figured I'd just reset the computer. Every 30 seconds Cloud takes over. This is so angering. Mercy. I thank you in advance.

You can remove Cloud Protection using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Help!!!!! Incredimail MY START has taken over my computer!!! How do I get rid of it permanently???? Started with latest Firefox Update

Since the latest Firefox, Incredimail My Start has taken over my computer! I do not have Incredimail, I do not want Incredimail. I want to ENTIRELY get rid of it altogether forever. Please give me the instructions. I cannot find it as an add on or a plug in -- I do not know WHAT it is but whatever it is I DO NOT WANT IT ON MY COMPUTER!
Thanks so much in advance! Please hurry! This is driving me crazy. I have set Google as my home page, but every new tap I add, is Incredimail MyStart. I DO NOT WANT IT. This started with the latest Firefox update.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

Firefox Safe mode has taken over my computer, how do I turn it off?

Something called Firefox Safe mode has taken over my computer, how do I turn it off?

Saw this advice in another thread:
Try turning it off and on again. Failing that try holding the home button and power button untill the device turns off. Then turn it back on again

Firefox has taken over my computer to the extent that I can't get out of firefox back to my regular homepage and moreover I can't even log out or shut down.

When I try to log on as I have usually done I get a small window
stating that an error has occurred and when I click on what should solve the problem a larger white window appears stating
I should not close the window...although several times I have
not close the window all I get is 2 blue spinning circles.
I feel like Firefox has taken over my heretofore routine
usage of my computer and I have lost control. HELP!!!!!

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

ITunes Has taken over my computer. It's like the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

ITunes won't stop opening of its own accord every few minutes and starts playing the first song on my playlist. I have tried all the usual rememdies and nothing works. I downloaded the latest update that put my music in the Cloud just a couple of days ago, and I can only imagine that this is related to that. Any suggestions? Right now I'm living with the sound turned off and it's a pain. Thanks

Do you by chance have speakers connected to your computer or an ear piece plugged in? Then that may be causing the problem, see this thread:
iTunes opens and starts playing music randomly

Help. iphoto has taken over my computer's HD over 50gig. why?

okay, i have iphoto 8. 20,776 pictures and over 50gig of hard drive. it seems that every time i make a small import, multiple gigs are consumed. i just found out about the "copy photos to iphoto library" tab and unclicked it. however, i fear that iphoto is eating up more than double what it should be due to multiple copies of pictures stowed away who knows where. basically, when i open iphoto and scroll through all the pictures, they look as i want them to be. i don't need copies because i back everything up with time machine anyway. what can i do to just have one of each picture saved to my computer and viewed through iphoto? iphoto diet cant work because i read that it isn't approved for iphoto 8 and could cause problems. is there anything i can do to just keep all the pictures i see inside of my iphoto app and nothing else? i really appreciate any help, this is so frustrating!
thank you.

It sounds like what you need instead of iPhoto is an image browser like Picassa, JetPhoto Studio, FR-PhotoStudio, QPick or Photonator. They can all be found at VersionTracker.com.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

I wanted to install Firefox 4 and it has taken over my computer and I cannot close it or get back to my original browser. Help NOW!!!

I have just downloaded Firefox 4 and was trying to install it. I need to get to my old browser but I cannot get away from Firefox. How the devil do you close it? It covers the entire screen and I cannot even get to dock to change anything. I'm already fed up with program and intend to delete the whole thing as soon as you tell me how I can regain control of my computer. Turning the computer off does no good because Firefox is right in my face when I turn it on again. Any e-mail to me is currently useless because I can not get to my old browser and Firefox is not completely installed. Call me at ''deleted by a moderator''

Did you install a persona?
You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
See:

I was downloading add-on themes and apparently signed up for background program. it has taken over my computer and I want it off now.

I was adding themes from Firefox and signed up for the "background" program. It has put a slide show on my computer and I want it off NOW. How do I remove it because I don't even know how to get to it? It showed a wooden floor to start with and now it showing horrible pictures that I never picked out.

My friend has Mozilla Firefox and Malware has taken over her computer and she cannot open any program. How can she rid her computer of this awful site?

MALWARE HAS INSTALLED ITSELF ON MY FRIENDS COMPUTER AND NOW NO OTHER PROGRAMS WILL OPEN

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

I received a pop up notice about computer virus check for my computer It had a MAc logo , so i pushed the icon to screen for viruses. Now it has taken over my computer and constantly switches me to gross sites while I am on line . How do I clean it up?

I received a pop up about virus screening for my computer while on line. It displayed the Mac logo ,so I went ahead and aloowed it to scan for "virus" It isaid I was infected and I could purchase a clean up service by registeringing and paying 39 bucks. I declined and now a warning keeps popping up saying I am infected and must register product and then keeps switching to gross **** sites while Im on line about every 10 min. How can I remove it? It has a logo in my top bar- a red shield w/ an exclamation point on it.

It's a scam. Your credit card no. is what they're after. To remove, see here;

ITunes has taken over my computer

Don't get me wrong--I really like iTunes since I bought an iPod Nano and installed iTunes on my computer. But...I seem to have lost control of all things audio. When I put in a CD, it plays in iTunes instead of Windows Media Player like before. When I play a song from the My Music folder, it plays in iTunes instead of WMP as before. I'd just like to have a choice. What do I do? Thanks.

Just as an experiment try approaching it the other
way. Find a song in windows explorer, right click and
select properties. The 'opens with' will (in your
case) likely show iTunes. Click the Change button and
find your preferred player and ok that choice. It
should change all files of that music type to play in
new player.
Windows XP Pro
Thanks. I did that with a CD and it worked just fine because I got the drop-down box allowing me to choose the player for all similar files. When I tried it with an individual song in Explorer, it did just as you said except that it made the change only for that song (file). I checked other songs' properties and they all have itunes as the choice, so it appears I would have to change every one of them. BTW, I have a grandson who is a sophomore at the University of Michigan in the USA who is studying right now at the University of Melbourne. He says everybody he has met in Australia is nice.

Why has microsoft taken over my computer

every time I want to use either office or excel I cant. cant always be connected to internet was ok till you forced me to up date

Hi,
I'm not sure what it means by it asks you for internet, for activation or something else?
If you are using Online Services such as OneDrive, Office will need to connect to internet. Sign out from these services and check the result.

Adobe Reader 9 has taken over my computer!

Every time I try to open a desktop item I.E., Firefox, any shortcut or even my add/remove program in the control panel, an adobe reader window opens with a smaller window inside with an error message with the program I am trying to open, including trying to open Adobe reader to create a PDF file.
To open any of these, I have to right click and click on the open button.
The error message goes like this:
Adobe Reader could not open (acrobat.com.exe) because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged, for example,
it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded. This error message will come up the same for everything th
at I try to open, decktop shortcuts, whatever.
How can I fix this problem? I have uninstalled and installed several times, getting the same results?

Avg secure search has taken over my computer ..make it go away

I can't seem to get rid of avg secure search can you help

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
