Force remove malware plug-in Internet Explorer 11 Windows 8.1

Hi,
I have a malware add-on (browser search hijacker) that can't be removed using conventional means:
When I try to remove the by double clicking that add-on and select 'Remove', the Remove button is greyed out. See below:
How would I force remove the offending malware?
Thanks.

See: "How to
Reset Internet Explorer settings".
Then...
1. Please download and run the
Microsoft Safety Scanner tool (freeware).
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Please download and update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free
4. Reboot Windows in
Safe Mode and run a
Full Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
5. Download and Run AdwCleaner and RogueKiller
(Freeware)
6. Reboot and Test.
Best of Luck,

  • Export to Excel button only launches in Internet Explorer window

    Hi Experts - A subset users that are experiencing issues with the option to Export to Excel via Web Analyzer on 7.0.  For others, including myself it works just fine.
    When they click the Export to Excel option after running a query, it only opens in an Internet Explorer window (no Excel options to manipulate data) and does not give them the typical MS Excel pop-up window (like I get) to OPEN or SAVE in Excel format.
    Thinking this would be an MS Excel or Internet Explorer setting somewhere, but don't know where to find it....
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello,
    I think that you're right, the problem doesn't seem to come from anything in SAP servers (otherwise no user would be able to make it work right).
    If I understand well, you want to open an Excel window when selecting "export to Excel" option, not having the table opened in IE with an Excel tab. Am I right ?
    If it's the case, I think that this should work :
    In windows explorer, open tools -> folder options
    Tab "file type"
    find xls extension, and click "advanced" button
    uncheck "browse in the same window" button
    I'm using windows XP, therefore I can't guarantee that you'll find the same menus with another OS. Furthermore, I'm using a french OS, so my translations might differ slightly from what you'll actually have on screen. The result is reflected in the following registry key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Excel.Sheet.8
    (this could be a different key, depending on the MS Office version installed on your computer)
    You should now have a DWORD value BrowserFlags = 8
    If you have a helpdesk department in your company, that handles software installations, I guess that they should handle this problem (by broadcasting the change in registry ?). But if you're a small company, where everyone has the rights to change such settings, this method will be OK.

  • Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
    Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
    Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?

  • Flash download/close Internet Explorer Windows

    Can't download Flash. Error message indicates to close all Internet Explorer windows and I have. Any suggestions?

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save target as".
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Save the file to your downloads folder - DO NOT run anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, run the installer from your downloads folder.

  • As many HTTP sessions as Internet Explorer windows ?

    Hi,
              My web-application is using HttpSession to identify users (with this well known getSession() applied to HttpServletRequest).
              I have noticed that if I open two (or more) Internet Explorer windows and I connect to my web-application, all of them share the same HTTP session.
              That is annoying because some parameters stored in the session are different between the windows.
              When I'm using IE in one window and Firefox in another, there are two separate sessions.
              How can I do to have as many different HTTP sessions as IE Windows ?
              Is it a WLS parameter ?
              I'm using WLS 9.1.
              Thanks a lot.

    This is not WLS issue. This is caused by the fact that different browser instances share a same cookie.

  • Can't share internet explorer window in lync 2013 client

    Hi,
    I'm facing a strange issue, i can't share (present program) an internet explorer window. The program is launched on my desktop but it doesn't appear when i try to share it. I use Lync 2013 client on Windows 7, same problem on Windows 8. I think it's linked
    to our domain desktops, because i don't have the issue when i try on a workgroup desktop.
    Someone has an idea ?
    Thanks & Regards

    What is the version of your Lync 2013 client?
    I don’t have this problem running Lync 2013 15.0.4535.1507 version on Windows 8.
    Please check the other Lync users have the same problem.
    Try to close your another browser, then test again.

  • Image video verte saccadée avec internet explorer windows 8.1

    Bonjour,
    Ma question est résumée  sous objet ci-haut. Certaines vidéos, surtout des chaines de TV ont une image verte et saccadée avec Internet Explorer. J'ai le même problème avec Mozilla Firefox. Avec Google Chrome ça marche.
    Les mises à jour W8.1 sont faites. Comme Flash Player est intégré dans Internet Explorer, il doit-être à jour. L'option activer/désactiver l'accélération matérielle n'existe pas pour Flash Player.
    Avez-vous une solution pour ce problème?
    Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

    Hello,
    Are you writing an app using the WebView or just creating a web page to be displayed in IE on the phone?
    The WebView hosts IE so this answer should work for you either way but... The WebView supports the HTML 5 "video" tag. The platform supports a limited number of streaming formats natively including Microsoft's propriety implementation of RTSP and
    RTSP over HTTP. If the video source is being streamed in either of these formats you can simply point the "video" tag at the server and you should be good to go.
    If you want to support a different streaming protocol such as HLS or DASH you will need to create or find a 3rd party
    Media Source Extensions plug in for the "video" tag that supports the protocol that you are using on the server. If you are severing Microsoft's Smooth Streaming content you may be able to use the
    Smooth Streaming Client SDK for Windows Phone 8.1 although I'm not sure if the HTML5 support is available outside of a native HTML5 app.
    I hope this helps,

  • How to revert back to previous version of Internet Explorer (Windows 7)

    Hi,
    I recently ran updates on my computer and IE 7 was taken up to IE 9. I had CCTV plugins that dont work with IE 9 (I find out too late) so now I want to revert to IE 7 or IE 8. No download that I can find for either IE 7 or IE 8 will run on Windows 7. Both
    throw up a library error. Can anyone suggest a solution please. My Windows 7 Ultimate had IE 7 intalled from the box - so it will obviously run. I can remove IE 9 for the Control Panel - but that is about it. I don't belive that the only option would be to
    completely reinstall Windows to slove the issue - and would it even activate a second time?

    IE9 IS the problem.  We have three DVR camera systems which cannot be accessed through IE9.  The DVR manufacturer admits the problem!
    So explain exactly what it is about IE9 that makes it unable to access the DVR camera systems?
    Provide detail of exactly why IE9 is the problem.
    Looks like you are really a newbie about using browsers who is just learning how to use IE.Its weird that you are expecting Batteryjer will be knowing the exact root cause problem. FYI I've the same issue but in different context.
    I'm using Pega PRPC  which was working fine with Internet Explorer 7 and 8. But with the latest update of Internet Explorer 11 (which happened automatically without my knowledge), I'm not able to use this pega software properly as many menu items doesn't
    show up.When I play around with F12 Developer Tools (located in Tools) and change the Interent Explorer version from 11 to  8, 7, most of the menu options of Pega appears correctly in browser screen. If you really want to know the exact cause , go back
    to your computer and try to play and learn..
    I can say that IE is becoming more carp and crap with every update and there is PROBLEM WITH INTERNET EXPLORER with every update.Still I want to rollback my IE from 11 to 8 without using Developer Tool.

  • ITunes disrupting Internet Explorer, Windows Live Messenger

    Hi
    I recently downloadeded iTunes 7.4.2.4. Now when I have Internet Explorer open at the same time as iTunes, iTunes will constantly switch to itself, or in any other program will sit on the taskbar flashing orange, without me doing anything. It also refuses to show what I am listening to on Windows Live Messenger. Any help?

    Okay... I've solved my issue using a work-around. the iTunes code for broadcasting these things definintely needs to be looked into. Its pretty trivial that syncing an iPod that doesn't have the "manual ejection" option ticked could cause a detrimental issue such as this.
    As Hinted, to fix the issue. Make sure the iPod is set to be 'manually ejected' once its finished syncing. This means you will effectively have to eject it yourself using iTunes once you've synced it.
    The steps I did was...
    *1. Set iPod to be 'manually ejected' once synced and hit apply.*
    *2. Sync iPod... again, for good measure.*
    *3. Restart the computer.*
    *4. Start iTunes with the iPod still connected, Sync it again.*
    *5. Open Windows Live Messenger and make sure 'show what im listening to' is ticked.*
    *6. Play a song in iTunes and see if it worked.*
    *Please post if this helped you.* Im sure a few of those steps like re-syncing aren't neccesary, then again it's "Apple" iTunes so it's best to be safe then sorry.
    Currently, the wonderful world of iTunes (7.7) is saying I don't have permission to set it as my default audio player, and im the friggin Admin...
    *Bravo! Apple Team, Bravo!*

  • NTLM problem with Internet explorer/windows

    Hello,
    I am sorry if this post is not in the correct forum but i really don't know where to put it.
    I need some help with this issue from my work as I am out of ideas and I don¹t find any similar issues on your lists/emails/faqs.
    I am using a server with CentOS6 and Squid 3.1.10 as a proxy. One of my teams needs to access to ISS 7 trough Squid for test and development purposes using only NTLM (required only NTLM). Squid server is accessing the AD and credentials are working. All
    tests performed with Wbinfo are successful. The access to the IIS ntlm site is successful from Firefox and Safari (not windows OS), all returning the message ³you are authenticated using NTLM². I try to perform the same test on several machines with Windows
    7 and Internet Explorer, most of them 11, and always get the message “Proxy isn’t responding”. GPO was altered on the windows for NTLM, ISS site is requesting NTLM with extended protection and kernel=mode authentication off. All suggestions from Microsoft
    were followed regarding NTLM configurations. 
    Somebody as any ideas please??
    Thank you

    Hi,
    By default, if a client try connecting to a server supporting LM and NTLM, it'll adopt LM Authentication. So, please check in registry if LM and NTLM v2 are disabled.
    Open registry
    Locate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa.
    Add a new DWORD value named LMCompatibilityLevel
    Set its vaule to 2. For more details, please click
    here
    Close registry
    Reboot your system.
