Dll.ultimatesoft has taken over my browser

My iMAC is about 18 month old, and I had a software upgrade notification for my Safari browser.
When I clicked on it to upload, a program from dll.ultimatesoft was seen on the screen, and asked me to approve and install. That message will not go away. The drop down box bounces up and down the screen. I re-booted, but it is locked. I tried typing in a different web address, and was semi-successful, till the ultimatesoft screen took over again in 60 seconds.

Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

VIDX Has taken over my browser. How do I get rid of it?

Hello - I have been trying to get rid of this VidX virus that has seem to take over my browsers... Pop ups all the time - Re-directing me to SPAM pages.. its a mess!!
The way I think I got it, was by downloading some "update" I thought I needed to get my videos to play on this blog I watch reality shows on..
anyways - I found out it was a phony, becuase pop ups started to happen the minute I finalized that "INSTALL"
I have the "AppZapper" I tried getting rid of it in there, and it did, from the "Applications" folder - but the pop ups never stopped happening.
Attached are some of the stuff that's been happening on my browsers... and it says "Ads By VidX"

Downloading software from untrustworthy site caused adware to be installed. This can occur when downloading anything from software aggregator hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or others.
Don't do that. If you want to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, go directly to the source - usually the developer's own website, or the distribution source authorized by the developer.
In general, searching for software by following the first Google result is a bad idea. The top ranked results will include one or more of the untrustworthy sources above, for the simple reason that Google gives first preference to sites that host Google's advertisements - and since Google tracks your search history and knows what browser and equipment you're using, you'll be targeted for garbage Mac apps that will result in even more misery if you were to install them.
To fix your Firefox popup problems, go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions. Remove "VidX" as well as anything else you aren't absolutely certain is required. Do the same with Plug-Ins and Services.
Don't use AppZapper to delete anything either. It's not necessary and you might delete something required. Merely deleting the VidX app from Applications by dragging it to the Trash is enough.

Imesh has taken over your browser I am unable to remove it with system restore or add and remove programmes Help!

Your browser is preceded by something calling itself imesh it takes pride of place in your browser slot or window whatever you call it.
As I have said I can't rid myself of it via system restore or in the add & remove programmes part of my X P version of windows.
It's still there when I re-downloaded Firefox it's planted itself within my other browsers as well, Safari, Chrome and I think it's got into Internet Explorer too.'''bold text'''

Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

Have been using Firefox for years, but downloaded BearShare and now it has taken over the browser. Deleted it but still have it on start page. Tried downloading firefox again and again but its still there. Cannot access my bookmarks or anything else on

Cannot delete BearShare tool bar from top of Mozilla browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a day or two ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

Hello Joe.
If BearShare is an extension, you can go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Extensions'' to disable or uninstall it.
If it's a plugin, go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Plugins'', where you can disable it. To uninstall it completely, you need to contact its author for support, as it's done outside the browser. In case it's a plugin.
I hope this helps.

BearShare has taken over browser page. How do I get rid of it?

I stupidly download BearShare. I have uninstalled it in all the usual places but it has taken over the firefox opening page of Google with a BearShare one. The problem is not on the laptop I am using but on a new Acer laptop with Windows 7. Help!

The safest and most thorough way of cleaning it out of your system is to download Revo Uninstaller, run it in advanced mode and press delete all when prompted. Do NOT go messing about in your registry unless you are a real expert. The other way is to go into system restore and tell your computer to restore to a date & time before you downloaded Bearshare. Just remember that any software you installed since that date will be deleted so back it up first. Good luck. Bearshare is a pain in the Jacksy!

Preview has taken over RAW file type binding from Photoshop

Preview v 3.0.4 has taken over as the default program with which to open RAW files. Double-clicking a RAW file in OS 10.3.9 or earlier (?) used to automatically open RAW files into the latest Photoshop version installed (be it 7, CS, CS2).
After purchasing a new Dual 2.7 G5 with Tiger 10.4 or 10.4.4, ALLL RAW ICNS have changed to a PREVIEW.app's icon for RAW images, and RAW files now default to Preview when double-clicked, instead of the Photographer's choice of Photoshop, as it has been for years.
These and other file type bindings (PDF) have been captured by Preview in the new OS.
What is going on? What to do? How do I regain the original file binding of RAW files to an intelligent and professional program (PHTOSHOP CSx), instead of this NEWBIE nearly unusable PREVIEW application?
Simply remove all PREVIEW resources? Then it's usefulness for browsing large numbers of images will be lost.
I simply want PREVIEW to leave my professional digital world alone and let me continue working efficiently.
Any help? Ideas?
Thanks a bunch,
jes360

Simply select one of your crw files, do GetInfo (command-i) on the file and in the Open With section choose Photoshop. Click the Apply to All button. From now on all crw files will open in Photoshop. I suspect the default changed because Preview can now open many many raw files, and not everyone has Photoshop.

Command, option and escape keys held down together will open the "Force Quit" dialog window.
Quit Safari and then relaunch it while holding down the shift key.

Bing has taken over all my Browsers

When I click on Mozilla, Explore, or any browser it always start with BING instead of google even though google is set as my home start up page. I can't figure out how to get rid of this. Can I uninstall Bing to make it go away? I'm running Windows 8.1
Thanks for any help.

It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
# Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the Remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
Did this fix the problem? Please let us know!
EDIT: Also right click on shortcuts for your browsers and select Properties, check the Target line under the Shortcuts tab to make sure that your shortcuts aren't being forced to open Bing.

Genieo has taken over!

http://search.genieo.com has taken over as my default search engine, even though I set my default in Safari as Google. I even quit the browser to make sure it wasn't a reset problem.
I am ****** and feel violated - I never even heard of genieo. Any suggestions?

It sounds as if you have the genieo / installmac adware / trojan installed :
Backup first, then carefully follow :
Adware Removal Guide : Genieo
or
You installed the "Genieo" search-hijacking rootkit.
I suggest that you don't trust the uninstaller that the company provide, since it doesn't work properly & leaves active software behind. Genieo seem unable or unwilling to resolve that, so perhaps they continue to receive some benefit from it.

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

I recently updated Firefox and something called Fantistic Games has taken over my homepage and I can't get rid of it.

I used to get a field of 9 options to open when I opened a new page by clicking on the + button on the right side of the Search tab. After I updated Firefox a couple of days ago, my homepage had been taken over by something called "Fantasti Games". I can't find it anywhere to uninstall "Fantisti Games". I now have Google come up as my homepage when I open Mozilla Firefox, but each tab that I open comes up with the "FantastiGames" search engine. I need to get rid of that from my computer and revert back to what I had before, which was when I opened a new tab, I got nine large icons on the screen that gave me the choice of common sites to go to (such as AOL, YouTube, Weather.com, Google, etc.). Please tell me how to uninstall "FantastiGames".

This is embarrassing. It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.

My father has itunes account for ipad and my mother for an iphone my father has taken over iphone and needs to link it to his account

my father has itunes account for ipad and my mother for an iphone my father has taken over iphone and needs to link it to his account

iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

How do I get rid of a search engine that has taken over home page?

Search.US.com has taken over my hone page and everything else it can. I have tried all the suggestions available to me by the help section. I have went so far as to delete cookies. This is very invasive. I looked at restoring the system but have few options for recovery points and they don't include the search engine download. I removed the add on it came with as well. I had removed the search engine in add/remove programs and was stupid when it asked if I wanted the default settings restored. I said no. I'm afraid I am j pretty stupid when it comes to software. I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your time in this matter. ps I put what I thought was relevant in the bottom box. I had not seen this before. I tried to modify it but couldn't.
Soultender

I finally got a hold of someone at that search us.com. They gave me this link to try and solve the problem. I have already reinstalled firefox but it might help someone else out. And it's much simpler. I haven't tried it but they said to get a hold of them if it didn't work. the link is:
Running ResetBrowsers.exe from http://support.search.us.com/uninstall.php should restore your settings to their defaults
Hope I'm not misusing this post. Thanks again for all your help. Your are all awesome.
