Get Rid of Adverts on DVR

I've got the Quantum Super-Slow Remote package which just got even slower after the uncalled for "upgrade" that now loads thumbnails and a snails pace. I won't get into how much a step backwards this is from what was almost a usable GUI once they fixed it months ago. But what also bugs me is that whenever I enter DVR menu I get a pop up advertisement for pay content. I don't get it on my main box, only the little one in the kitchen. Any idea how to get rid of this or why it only shows up on the little box and not my main server box? I really hate this new GUI not only because it's now slower that the previous GUI ever was, but now it takes more keystrokes to do anything. I wish there was a way to turn off Delete confirmation for starters. If I accidently delete something I can always retrieve it from the trash - so I don't need the hand holding on top of all the other delays. The other gripe I have is that with the new DVR menu structure I can no longer delete an entire folder of shows using the same buttons. I have to find the "C" button and delete from there. Really stupid changes.

Thanks. Coincidently, the FIOS technician was at my house today and showed me that. He was there to witness the amazingly sluggish performance of the new GUI. He said he's seen this poor performance many times but had no real solution. Nice guy though. The telephone support gent had no clue and wanted me to reprogram my remote code to my TV... like that would have anything to do with it. Then he offered to send me a new box which I refused as a waste of time and money. So the offered a tech visit which I knew probably wouldn't help but it was worth getting confirmation that it's not just me - though I knew that from this forum which the telephone support guy said I shouldn't read.

If you are talking about ads in apps - typically you have to buy the full version of the app in order to get rid of the ads.
If you want the app for free - that's the price that you have to pay .... For not having to pay for the price of the app.

How to get rid of adverts

Cannot get rid of Yahoo as my default browser and now have constant competitions and surveys popping up. Doesnt matter what I click on I get redirected to another stupid site with more surveys and competitions.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. 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. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How can I get rid of adverts which are blocking all apps, even apple ones?

My grandmother is a fan of Words With Friends but recently an extremely intrusive BMW advert has appeared which cannot be closed and which takes up most of the screen. It has also started appearing in other apps when it shouldn't, including apple's own App Store. We have tried clearing the multitasking tray and have re-started it multiple times to no avail. We even deleted the offending app and yet the advert still remains on the App store.
Since I can only communicate via phone, I can't determine which iOS version she is using as she cannot understand my instructions on how to find it. However, I am confident it is NOT iOS 7.
Is there any way to solve this problem? Ideally, it needs to be easy enough to explain to someone who is not particularly "technologically gifted".

Contact Zynga games at http://investor.zynga.com/contactus.cfm. No pop up add should not have an exit option, but this one is the exception. Alternatively, pay for the app (it's not expensive). The only other way is to reset your device, which is frustrating but the only way I have found to terminate the BMW ad. sorry I can't be more help.

How do I get rid of adverts in corners of Safari?

I have tried Adware Removal Tool to run a script, but nothing seems to work.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment 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.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
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 "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
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.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
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" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
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 DownLite developer 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. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot 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.

There is a particularly intrusive BMW app advert that pops up when playing Words with Friends that I can't get rid of. There doesn't appear to be an exit option (most unethical). Any suggestions on how to get rid of the advert out ther?

How can I get rid of unsolicited adverts on iMac?

How can I get rid of unsolicited adverts on iMac?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Take an inventory of the extensions you've installed, if any. Some Safari extensions are adware or spyware. Read the privacy policies or terms of use carefully. Remove any that you don't really need or aren't sure about.
One extension that you may want to install is called "Ghostery." It blocks many tracking cookies. But there are reports that it sometimes causes Safari to crash. I use it and have had no problems.
In the Safari preferences dialog, select the Privacy tab. Here you have the option to remove data, such as cookies, stored on your computer by web servers. You can remove all such data, or remove only some of it by clicking the Details button. The other settings are pretty much self-explanatory.
Consider using ad-blocking software such as "GlimmerBlocker," which also blocks some forms of JavaScript abuse that can be used to track you. It's only suitable for advanced users, and it may block some web content that you want to see.

How do I get rid of an advert on my Safari home page

The Advert says.......YOUR PC PERFORMANCE IS POOR FIX NOW it comes from a Microfoft approved partner (apparently)

If you have 'Windows' loaded, you may well get the little bugs that accompany it. Have you checked the site on Google? Let us know who it is; it may be a Zeobit / MacKeeper relative, in which case we can show you how to get rid of it.

How can I get rid of an advertisement that pops up whenever I use Google?

Settings
safari
Turn on blocking popups
if that doesn't help, in Safari, throw away your history from the days since you had the issue. that may get rid of it. If it doesn't you may need to throw away your cookies (which isnt' any fun because it'll sign you out of any site you regularly sign into)

Very strange Popup - can't get rid of it

I've been getting a very strange popup lately when I go to certain sites and I can't get rid of it. It's an advertising thing that thinks for some reason that I live in Oakland (which i don't but is nearby). I also noticed that on certain websites now autofill puts in Oakland and some sites say i am logging in from Oakland.
The popup looks like an XP window but is messed up and the text hangs over the edge of the box. It bounces around in the middle of my screen and makes accessing anything under it impossible.
I have cleared cookies, cache and history. I have pop block on. This happens in Safari and in Firefox. I can send a screen shot but can't seem to paste one here.
If I have accidentally gotten some adware installed, how can I find and get rid of it???
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Ed

Thanks for the quick response. I pretty much always get it at this site:
http://www.alluc.org/alluc/tv-shows.html?action=getviewcategory&category_uid=822
A friend just tried the site too and said he gets the same popup but with an advert for Seattle (where he does live), so perhaps this isn't something installed on my computer after all... it is super annoying, though, so i'll give that program a try. do you have any other thoughts?
