Flex View pop-up ads.

I am getting a bit fed up with the "Flex View' pop-up ads popping up in my face every time I log into my Verizon e-mail. Is there any way to have Verizon STOP these annoying ads if I don't want them?

Never seen a pop up going into into webmail. Do you happen to have the verizon toolbar installed? If so remove it.

Flex View pop-up message

How do I stop the Flex View po-up message from opening EVERY TIME I log into My Verizon Home? The "do not show again" box does not help. Tech support is helpless. This makes my want to drop FIOS.
Appreciate any help.

Tom I do not see it in IE (win 7 or 8) nor do i see it in FF (Ubuntu 12.04) Try turning on tracking protection in IE and try AdBlock Plus w/FF.

Pop Up Ads on Border of Websites?

Hello,
I have pop up ads that repeatedly appear around the border of many websites. I have ad blocked installed, and that removes the images, but the large black "hide ad" bar still appears, and clicking that brings on more pop-ups. I hae run a virus and malware scan, and that turned up nothing harmful, so really it's just a nuisance. If anyone has a solution, I'd be forever greatful. A picture of the problem is below.

You have installed the Downlite, aka VSearch, adware/malware. For more information and removal instructions, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-downlite/
Adware like Downlite is often found in groups - I've seen as many as 4 installed by one installer - so you'd be wise to search for any other adware using my Adware Removal Guide, and remove anything else you find.

I keep getting pop up ads on all my browsers since I installed mackeeper

I installed mackeeper yesterday thinking it was an apple-made app. Upon realising it wasn't I promptly uninstalled it following instructions online. I think I managed to delete the whole thing (using the uninstaller), but now I'm getting heaps of pop up ads even though all my block pop ups are activated. I don't even need to click a link and a random ad comes up. I've never had problems with ads popping up unless I'm on a free video streaming site (which I rarely am, and even after I leave those pages I don't get anymore ads popping up). So I think it's got to do with the stupid mackeeper app that was installed. Can anyone help me out? I'd rather not have to install anymore stuff to prevent pop ups when I've never had this problem in the past without needing an extra blocker app installed.
Thanks in advance.

If you do not want to install additional software, use the method given by Apple.
   Removing the adware manually by following the “HowTo” from Apple.

Otherwise try this.
This app will remove existing adware. This will not prevent any future adware infection.
You can uninstall this app after using it.
1. Use free AdwareMedic to remove adware

   Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
   Once done, quit AdwareMedic.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Ad blocking? I'm getting a lot of pop up ads while using Facebook from Safari.

     I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
      I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.
     Thanks

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My pop-up blocker is not working on ANY of the pop-up ads the come up (only in Safari, not Chrome of Firefox).

I have my settings on block pop-up ads and, stil, the blocker is not working on ANY ads. It used to work just fine. Has anyone else had this specific problem, and how can I fix this issue? Please and thank you!

Live streaming of a non-Flex View video from PC to TV via any FiOS capabilities

Hey all -
Is it possible to, using any capability of FiOS/Flex View, stream a live video from my laptop to my TV? There is an annual competition from Europe I watch every year (only available on the web to US viewers) and it requires a special plug-in so I can only view it from my laptop, unless of course I use an adapter to plug it into my TV (which I can, but prefer not to do if FiOS/Flex View has such an option).
Going through the Manager software, I couldn't locate anything like that, but for all I know I've just overlooked it or maybe someone has figured out a way to do this successfully.
Thank you all in advance!
Cheers,
Eneg
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I do apologize, but there is no way for that to happen. The Flex View or Media Manager software does not have the ability to stream live video broadcasts to your television. Looks like the adapter you were talking about is the best way to go. Enjoy your competition!

I am receiving a lot of pop-up ads on website pages. It has only recently started happening. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating and other things. They are annoying and I want them shut off. Please help me

I have recently started seeing millions of pop-up ads on website pages. It is not something that normally happens. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating among other things. I am growing sick and tired of these ads, and have tried multiple things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, I have blocked pop-up ads and unenabled Java script. I have tried everything I could find, but nothing has worked. I have even downloaded AdBlock and Clean Genius. Nothing has even remotely changed this annoying trait. I hope this can be a quick fix I can perform and not something that will have to be done by a tech-hand. Please, if you know anything about this issue, let me know how to fix it.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, you have installed malware by clicking on a pop up ad.

Pop-up ads and non-functional links in Safari upgrade

I have recently upgraded my imac from OSX10.5.8 to OSX10.6 and have made all the necessary upgrades to be as current as I can, this means I now have OSX10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7. However, everytime I use Safari I get several pop-up "sponsored ads" that appear in the bottom right-hand corner, even with the "block pop-up windows" box checked in preferences. Also, sometimes when I click on links, a new tab opens but nothing comes up (the address space is blank, these links work fine in Firefox), or the link will take me to an ad website, a search-engine website, or some other website that has nothing to do with the link I clicked on; when I go back and click the link again, it takes me to the right place. I tried using Firefox but the pop-up ads still appeared, so this is obviously not stricly a Safari problem. However, these problems were not there before I upgraded my software. Any thoughts? I have checked my extensions in preferences and I only have two: A DivX plus web player, and a Safari flash player.
thanks in advance

They're not pop-ups. How do you expect any software to distinguish between the ad videos and the actual video you want to see?

TS3899 View POP & SMTP settings in the iPhone 7.1 iOS?

View POP & SMTP settings in the iPhone 7.1 iOS?
After successfully configuring email, POP and SMTP server info becomes unavalible.
How can we setup the same email POP and SMTP on a new phone.
I'm trying to setup @LIVE.COM via yahoo. I was successful on a previous phone:
pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
NO GO....................!
Sadly when I setup email via @LIVE.COM, MS did not provide POP nor SMTP and I was directed to use someone besides MS (Microsoft)

Hey rommy88,
Thanks for the question. You are correct, the option to disable Voice Dial is located in Settings > Passcode (before iOS 7.1, it was located in Settings > General > Passcode). You can also choose to disable Siri access from the lock screen:
Siri settings - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph634dd0e14
Prevent access to Siri when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone 5s) or Settings > Passcode (other models). You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Flex View only for movies?

Flex-View is a disappointment in that you can only pipe feature length movies to another device. Does anyone know if there are plans to allow you to simply view prerecorded TV shows on a PC? Here I am sitting in an Ethernet and wireless environment in the privacy of my home and I can't direct the TV or the DVR to my desktop system in another room on the same network. I can control the DVR from anywhere but I can't actuallt watch the recordings in the next room on my computer.
Thanks

I don't know whether this will maybe give you some idea of Verizon's general direction, but take a look at this thread from yesterday's Meet the Expert session with Joe Ambeault:

Flex view

Flex view needs an update! Flex view movies are lagging a lot sound is great and the picture doesn't get to jumpy but it still lags I checked my entire computer for a problem and found nothing and I checked my internet connection and even plugged in my Ethernet cord I called tech support and they said it was a video lagging problem they said there may be a bug or two with flex view and said Verizon might need to update it they also said a new version of silverlight would help as well thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sorry to hear about the flex view troubles. I have sent you a private message to get more information.

Flex View not streaming on wifi but works on 3G

Flex View streaming of paid and free tv shows and movies is not working on my Verizon Fios router wifi. I have tried it on my iPad 3 and my iPhone 4. But when I disable wifi on my iPhone and force it to 3G Flex View content plays fine.
When I click to "Watch" button the playback screen launches very briefly but then just crashes. Again, no problwith over 3G.
All other FIOS and other apps work fine. Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
Marc

sounds like a bad wifi channel
you should log into the router.
192.168.1.1
The default user name for the Verizon MI424WR router is "admin," and the default password is "password" (do not include the quotation marks).
Note: To improve security, your router password may have been changed to the serial number of your router if you have not changed the password from the default of "password." You can find your router's password on the label affixed to the bottom or back of your router.
After you are logged in navigate to wireless settings, and basic security settings and look for channel.
Change to 1, 6 and 11. Try not to use any other channel as they are overlapping and cause trouble for you later.
Let us know which if any worked.

Flex View purchases with bugs and no apparent support

I'm trying to get help with some of the flex view movies we've bought recently. The first issue that came up was a movie that wouldn't start where we left off, but always reset to the beginning. All of the other flex view movies we have will start where you stop it.
Then we got a movie where the audio was out of sync with the video, but only in the HD version.
Then a couple days ago, the SD version of a movie just disappeared completely, but it was there when the movie was purchased.
We tried chat help, but the person didn't have a clue beyond the scripted stuff, and tech help called when we were out, and the phone support says that Flex View support is online only. (But if you go to the page they suggest, there's just a basic FAQ page for Flex View, and no support link at all.
It seems like these are individual bugs in the underlying programming, or maybe it's a fault with the set top box. In any case, looking for solutions.
