Could Firefox 36.0 be the conduit that allows compatibilitycheck.exe on my Acer 32 bit Vista laptop? I suspect either it or TBird 31.5.0 ?

My 32bit Vista Acer Aspire 4730Z has recently fallen victim to the "compatibilitycheck.exe" problem. See (http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/index.php/t313939.html) for details on this problem.
I repeatedly go into Safe Mode and using DOS functionality delete the offending files ,compatibilitycheck.exe and others in a directory named "Compatibility Verifier" which often have spawned into all user's account on the PC. I do this with WiFi off, ie. not connectivity to the greater web. I reboot with WiFi off in normal mode and the PC is lightening fast. However after I reconnect to the web via WiFi the infection/virus or whatever it is returns, hogs CPU, and brings my Acer to it's Knees.
I can watch the spawning take place before my eyes in Windows Task Manager "Processes" where multiple instances show up each grabbing CPU.
Am running FireFox 36.0 with NoScript 2.6.9.16 and TBird 31.5.0, CLAMWIN ver 098.6 AV is also installed with current Virus DB always updated.
No other browsers are even on my machine except the built in IE which I never touch.
Could this infection possibly be coming in through my web connections through either Mozilla application
AM NOW ENTERING THIS ISSUE ON A MACBOOK PRO MacBook appears to be immune from compatibilitycheck.exe issues so whatever "Troubleshooting Information" i send in by pushing "Share Data" IS IRRELEVANT to my PC issues.

Downloaded suggested Malware removal tool msert.exe. Ran a full scan which found and removed one Trojan and one Adware malware program. Unfortunately I inadvertently closed the report details which named the two offending programs so I am unable to list their names in this reply. Can anyone tell me where msert.exe reports are stored? If so I will list them in this forum as part of a reply to this thread.

The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates.

This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

    Is there anyway to print an ibook -
    was told I could add a link to the ibook that would send the customer to my web site where they could print it?
    I was told a customer could not print an ibook that they purchased?
    Trying to figure out a way for them to purchase a book that they need to fill in information.
    or download to their computers and print.
    Any suggestions.... I have called and emailed - but can't get an answer
    I have 5 books I would like to do this with.

    Not as such.  You would have to put a pdf version on your web site for download, which the reader would then have to print for himself.  A pdf version might look rather different than the epub or .ibooks version, you would have to try that yourself to see how much.

  • In past versions of FireFox there was a view option that allowed a change in size of fonts and objects on the screen temporarily on the fly. This seems to be missing from version 6.

    You can use "Ctrl +" and "Ctrl -" to zoom pages quickly and "Ctr 0" (zero) to reset the page zoom.

    There are also page zoom buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window that you can drag on a toolbar.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

  • Why did you take away the feature that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

    Why did you take away the feuatre that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />
    You can use '''Firefox''' button > '''History > Restore Previous Session''' to get the previous session. <br />
    There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

  • I mistakenly deleted the files that allowed for the restore last session tab on homepage; how to reinstall?

    I was cleaning up desktop and deleted a firefox file that I didn't recognize....it ended up being the one that allows for opening up the previous session

    I have no idea how/why it was on desktop....and I emptied the recycle bin already! I was just trying to get organized a bit and clean up clutter...but I did use that feature almost daily, as it helped me to just close up the computer in the evening without worrying about getting to all the work the next day, as I would now immediately remember what I was doing!

  • Is there an app for the iPhone that allows you to syncronize alarm clocks or even set an alarm for you friend?

    Is there an app for the iPhone that allows you to syncronize alarm clocks or even set an alarm for you friend?
    Would appreciate if someone could help me with this. It doesn't have to be a free app.
    Thanks!

    Since there is no "drafts" folder on an iPhone for SMS's, not sure how something like that would work anyway. You can always copy to the notes app, then paste back yourself.

  • How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
    Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

    I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.
