Conduit toolbar icon - Value Apps icon added

I have that Value Apps icon added to my toolbar and cannot remove it.
Tried all the common solutions (add ons etc.) as far as I know and those config changes suggested in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/713710. That does remove the icon for a while but it then re-appears. I do not want that icon, is it malicious? The pop up window associated with it has not been installed consciously by me and I do not want it. At best it annoys me.
I have not tried the last suggestion on that link "SUCCESS! I uninstalled FF using the Revo uninstaller in the most thorough mode and then reinstalled FF." yet. Can anyone tell me what the Revo uninstaller is and implications?
Further I have more info. I use Zone Alarm Extreme security (for years and am happy with it) and it installs a Security toolbar in Firefox. No real issues to date but I recently noticed the Value Apps icon (no idea how long it was there) It appears to the right of the ZA search box sizing separator.
As above resetting Conduit config parameters does eliminate the toolbar icon for a while but it also eliminates the ZA toolbar as it also uses Conduit.
ZA help was limited (not my usual experience) and I wonder were to go from here?
I have a screenshot of the icon that I could post and also the config settings for Conduit, if of any use.

Thanks for the response js.
I will not go down the route of Revo!
Control over that toolbar is limited (afaik) to on or off.
I have reviewed the benefits and have concluded I will keep it on (see below) and will have to put up with the annoyance.
From Zone Alarm's help regarding the toolbar added by ZA Extreme Security.
''"The ZoneAlarm browser security toolbar adds the following important protections.
'' Warns you when you go to sites that do not have adequate security credentials.
''Detects known and unknown phishing Web sites.''
'' When virtualization is enabled, it can stop malicious zero day drive-by downloads, meaning malware that is not yet known by anti-virus and anti-spyware engines and has no known solution. (Not included in some versions.)''
'' Lets you choose a Privacy Browser option when you want to leave no trace on your computer of what you’ve typed or where you’ve been. (Not included in some versions.)''
''Checks anything you download from the Web for malware, using a sophisticated multi-layer scanning process. (Not included in some versions.)''
'' Blocks the processes that keylogger and screen grabber malware use to secretly record your keystrokes or on screen activity. This helps ensure that even keyloggers or screen grabbers that have not yet been discovered are rendered harmless. (Not included in some versions.)"''''
...so it seems very beneficial. Still annoying that the Value Apps icon appears. I will try an unistal and reinstall of ZA in case it has become infected itself as I otherwise do not know where the addition has come from.

  • Web Clip Icons v App Icons

    One thing that apple has nailed is the way the applications look on the iPhone...
    However, web clips look awful, especially now that my iphone has loads of wonderful apps on it..
    I know you can use http://www.wepclip.us and this does work very well but it has to connect to this site before loading the site you are trying to navigate too! (very frustrating when in a low reception area)
    So, anyone know how you can change these icons??
    I'm fed up of them looking so ugly!!
    Simon

    Sometimes when you create a web clip you get a cool icon. That is because the website developer included this tag <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="icon.png"/> in the header. Mostly you get a smudgy little screen shot of the page you were on.
    However, you can manipulate the page to get the screen shot you want. Enlarge a section of the page then tap ‘Add to Home Screen’. You will see a little tiny preview of what the icon will look like. If it isn’t what you want cancel the action and play around with the page until you get something you like. Have fun.

  • I saturated all the available iPad (3rd. generation) screen space (home screens or desktop space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen, mysteriously disappeared? Where are those missing quick lauch app icons?

    Running my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.0.4, I saturated all the available iPad screen space (which would be the 15 home screens or desktop worth of space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen space mysteriously disappeared. Where are those missing quick lauch app icons now? The apps are still installed and can be searched/accessed through the finder, but they no longer have a user friendly access. How can I solve this problem?

    Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
    Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help.  Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort.  Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
    Just sayin.......
    Oh and Meg offered the right answer.  Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

  • What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word "installed" next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes list of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display?

    What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word “installed” next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes lists of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display?  Both devices have iOS8.0.2 installed.  Both are having problems downloading some books that had been purchased previously for other devices.  And, before installing iOS8, the full list of had been downloaded to the iPad mini with iOS7.
      Finding out what the greyed outness means may help me figure out how to get all my books loaded on both devices.  Any suggestions how to do that also would be appreciated.

    Thank you.  Your explanation of why the word "installed" is greyed out makes sense.  But that raises the further question of why then is it shown at all.  There are other apps on both devices that can not be removed,and they are just not shown.  This is the only app that has the greyed out "install" notation.  All of the other apps shown are either identified by "remove" meaning it is installed and can be removed; "install" meaning it is not installed but can be; or "update" meaning it has been replaced by a more current version which can be installed.
    All of the books that I want to install have been on an iPhone4 that was replaced by the iPhone6, and were on the iPad Mini with iOS7 before iOS8 was installed.  Installation of iOS8 on the iPad removed all of the books and only a few of them were later added by syncing with iTunes.  Since most of the books I am interested in are free or of small cost, I would be happy to delete all of them from iTunes and then reinstall the ones I want directly on the devices.  But I have not been able to delete them and when I try to install them on a device I am told that they already have been downloaded.  Very frustrating.

  • Application moved error and question marks for dock app icons - related?

    i am reposting this in the Mac Pro forum in addition to the Mountain Lion forum as i have been posting various issues on the mac pro here and i have gotten great help in solving them. also i am hoping to put a finishing touch on my computer setup after having done a FRESH INSTALL of the OS on both my computers with a manual migration of data (no Library items) so as to try and resolve old issues. i hope the experts on the list do not mind this posting and/or can offer advice on this specific issue.
    i am getting the attached error this morning on my MacBookPro (Mountain Lion) and have gotten it before on my Mac Pro (Lion). i have had to do a fresh install of the OS and a manual migration of my data (no Library settings etc) due to slightly similar issues.
    does anyone know what this errror is saying has happened?
    i /did/ have an additional internal hard drive on the MAC PRO that Spotlight was indexing and which i had to take off of the Spotlight indexing functionality but this does not explain in any way (since there are no additional HD's on my macbookpro) why it just happened this morning on the macbookpro.
    is this related to an issue where there may be QUESTION MARKS (instead of an app icon) in the dock in some of my other software?? i have one of these on my MBP and one on my MacPro even after the fresh install.
    TIA

    The Dock stores Aliases to the actual Applications. When you get a question Mark, it is caused by a Bad Link. The Application may have changed versions, moved, or been deleted. There is nothing especially magical about this. You can remove a Bad Link by dragging the link off the Dock, or add a proper link by dragging the Application Icon onto the correct area of the Dock.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Customize the Dock
    Apple-installed Applications need to remain in the Applications folder so that they remain protected and can be updated properly. The Installer will attempt to add links that point to the current Applications in the Applications folder, but if you have a pre-existing Bad Alias your bad Alias will not be Trashed. This may give you either the "moved..." message, or the Question Mark Icon in the Dock, or a grayed-out Icon with a "prohibited sign" if you have added things not appropriate for this version of Mac OS X.

  • Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

    I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it.  I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud).  I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
    Now my problem:
    I tried to remove another free app.  I press and hold the icon.  All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons.  Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button.  And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either.  If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display).  Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally.  Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
    So what do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanx
    Brian

    Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.

  • Can't find app icon on iPhone

    I downloaded an app earlier today (My Favs contact software). The download was successful, but I can't launch the app unless I manually search for it on my iPhone. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Same thing happened to me and I was sure I had synced the app to my phone. I could find it by searching but it definitely wasn't anywhere as an icon, alone or in a folder. Finally thought to check how many pages of icons I had haphazardly added (easiest to see in iTunes> your phone's name when connected > apps, since they number the pages) and I had reached the 11 page limit. I organized most of my apps into folders and reduced down to 6 pages .... Then had to reboot and lo and behold, there it was - along with half a page of icons for other apps that I had forgotten about and weren't showing up before! This is a hazard when you keep picking up games and apps when they go free for a while. I try to only keep a few on my phone (unchecking the rest in itunes>my phone when connected > apps) so I can test them out gradually, but it got away from me rather easily over the past year. I now have two folders full of "task lists" to try out, for instance! You can see I really do desperately need a proper task list, if I ever find time to find the right one. (Catch-22.)
    Apple should incorporate a warning message when we reach that magic 11 page limit, at least ... I like to be told by my gadgets when I'm about to do something stupid.

  • HP Photosmart 7520 "Get More" icon for apps

    Printer only a few days old.  Had the "Get More" icon on the app line on the homepage the first day, but after second day it has disappeared from the App bar.  Any suggestions on how to retrieve the "Get More" app (icon)?  I am using the printer wirelessly with an iMac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  Checked HP Connected online in Apps for my printer, but there isn't a way to reinstall the "Get More" app; it isn't listed in the App section.  Thanks!

    Yes AnnaMarie57, to add apps to the Photosmart 7520 you will need to use the hpconnected.com website. It really does make it easier (albeit a little less convenient), with a full text search to search and add apps to your printer. Have you already signed up to hpconnected.com and added your printer?

  • How to update screen app icon (not App Store icons)?

    I have recently built two apps with Indesign, DPS and Viewer Builder – one single-folio and one multi-folio.
    In both cases I want to do an update on the iPad screen icon that I originally provided via Viewer Builder, and I wonder how straightforward this process is?
    Can I do this without re-building the folios?
    Is there any difference in the two cases?
    The folios are working fine, so I don't want to do "too much" work. That is, to accidentally delete or ruin anything.
    I had changed my icon designs when I added the apps in iTunes Connect, so the icons in App Store are correct.
    I recognize that the correct icons display on the iPad screen while installing the apps, but they change to the old/wrong ones once the installation is finished.

    1. Yes the app have to be re-submit to Apple, so "re-approved". Usually it take the same time or bit less, all is on Apple hand as usual
    2. When the new version app will be approved and released in Apple Store, users will not receive a push notifications (this is only for the folio); USers will see when opening the Apple Store app, in the update section that your app have a new version they can update.
    Or if you publish a new folio that have been created with a newest version of Folio Builder/Producer, they will get a push notification asking them to update their app in order to download the new folio

  • Yosemite Dark Mode app icons

    Some app icons don't display in the toolbar correctly when in Dark Mode and was wondering if there is a solution...
    Google Music Manager is impossible to see unless you click the toolbar icon - is there a fix for this?
    Google Drive is the same but I've downloaded an AppleScript which someone custom made which requires editing the PNG files
    however, the Google Music Manager doesn't have any PNG files in its Resource folder.

    Still waiting for Automator's cogwheels to work in dark mode in 10.10.2.
    DIY editing of menu bar icons for dark mode works without issues for some apps (having made backup copies first):
    Box Sync - menubar_idle.png
    OneDrive - StatusIcon_signedin.tiff
    Hamachi - status_online.png
    ScreenSharingMenulet - ScreenSharingMenulet.tif
    Flux - flux-icon-mono4.tiff
    All the above found in the Resources folders inside the apps themselves.

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.

  • Anyone know how to delete an app icon bookmark?

    I'm using an iPhone 4 with the 5.1 iOS.  I downloaded an app for LG which turned out to be just a Safari bookmark with an app icon.  It looks like a regular app but when you click it - Safari opens and it takes you to the LG webpage.  Now I want to get rid of it and I can't.  It doesn't appear in the list of apps in iTunes in the Sync Apps area, although it does show up on the phone and in the phone panel in iTunes. When I click on the app icon in itunes (in the phone panel) - it highlights it, but there's no X, and right-clicking doesn't do anything and pressing doesn't do anything either. It does not appear in my list of bookmarks in Safari either.  Does anyone know how to get rid of it?  Thanks! 

    nevermind - figured it out.  thanks anyway.
