Google redirects to AVG, even though I've uninstalled AVG/AVG add-on from my PC.

Whenever I do a Google search from www.Google.com, it redirects me to AVG search results. I've uninstalled both the AVG antivirus, and the add-on for Firefox itself. When I installed the Google toolbar, I could do a normal search through that, but not the actual Google site. It's driving me crazy, because AVG search SUCKS!

I would like to add I might have the problem solved.
I found an older Windows forum from 2009 where another person had a similar problem and it was suggested to use the add 'local printer'. Of course, the wizard set it up so not sure what it did but I did what they suggested and the scanner finally works. 
Also, when I went to print something, the preview picture came up and the door to the printer popped open but one of my ink cartridges is out so it couldn't print.....bummer.
At least I never got the 'driver not installed correctly' message.
As soon as I get a chance to get some more ink and try it, I'll post the results.
**fingers crossed it works**
Thanks~

    Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my  last laptop.
    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • In IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled

    in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

    Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

  • After using my macbook for 2 years with same printer,all of a sudden I can't print a page doc even though printer is working and I can print from I/Mail, etc.Anybody had this happen and have a possible answer?

    After using my MacBook Pro and pages for 2 years with the same printer, all of a sudden I can't print a pages doc even though the printer works and I can print from I/Mail, etc. Anyone have a possible answer?

    Often printing problems are a sign of corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages.

  • I accidentally deleted my music library from my old Mac and now I have a new Mac. Can i restore all my music somehow? Even though not all 10,000 songs were purchased from iTunes Store?

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.
    FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • Why do i constantly get 1009 and 100 errors even though i'm updating what i previously downloaded from same country and from the same app store??...its just simply awful

    It has been like a month since i can't update my apps which i downloaded from the App Store...now i keep getting error1009 followed by error100 even though i'm still living in the same country and using the same account and updating from the same App Store...this is getting awful,painful and very frustrating???is there any solution...even if when i try to download from third parties,i just get sent back to the same awful App Store...So WHAT is the Solution??????????

    I would delete the apps that you are trying to update. The MAS should then offer to install the app and it will install the updated version.
    If you are afraid of completely loosing the app then either copy the app to an ext HDD or put it in the Trash, but do not empty the Trash until you are sure that the MAS has installed a new version.

  • Keep getting asked to allow google talk on gmail even though i click allow & remember

    When I enter gmail (even if i use the new inbox version as well) it will show the bar at top asking to allow google talk plugin to run. I click allow, then another bar asks allow this time or allow always & remember. I click always and remember so it doesn't ask again yet everytime i visit after closing browser it will ask again.
    Also does the same for sites that want to run silverlight plugin, even if i set to remember it will ask again next time..

    Now i find in my plugins section on firefox it shows 'ask always' on every plugin.
    No idea why it doesn't save my selection when i choose via the site but i set them manually on this page & hope it stays that way.

  • Outside in Viewer resets the page number to 1 always, even though the Word document has page numbering starting from different value.

    Hi All,
    I've a Word Document with page header having page number inserted.However the page numbers have been formatted to start from a value other than 1.
    E.g. For a given word document, navigate to "File -> Insert -> Page number-> format page number -> start at " and set the value to say "300". Now insert page numbers, so that the page numbering of the 1st page starts from 300.
    When this document is viewed using Outside-in Viewer, the page number of the 1st page always shows 1 instead of showing 300 (though this is not being reset/changed within the actual document)
    I'm using Outside in 8.1.9 SDK for the same. Is there an API to set the page number correct (exactly what has been set within the original document) while viewing...
    Alternatively confirm if this is a limitation within the Outside-in Viewer.
    Thanks,
    Badri

    You're going to need to open an SR to Outside In Support, Product ID 2276.
    Make sure you attach an example Word doc to the SR.

  • Why has my Firefox become so slow, even though I don't have any add-ons?

    The settings tell me that I don't even have any add-ons installed. But FIrefox is still very slow, especially on those bigger sites.
    Resetting Firefox doesn't help either..

    ''However, Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.670.1 has been blocked...''
    The Java Deployment Toolkit plugin (also called Java DT) is a specialized plugin designed for web developers and network administrators and is not related to your general usage of Java (and is not required to be running to enable Java content in the browser.) It's "highly unlikely" this is the source of your browser slowdown. Oracle likes to "bundle" this plugin with Java SE for unknown reasons. Mozilla still considers Java DT to be vulnerable, and has considered it to be vulnerable for a long time...that's why you see this message (and probably will continue seeing it, unless you delete the plugin.) You can delete this plugin from the list of firefox plugins, but it will probably come back when you update Java. If you're interested in reading/talking more about specifically Java DT, we made a thorough discussion thread at the mozillazine support forum here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2877359
    Sounds like you could benefit from disabling all Java content in the browser. How that is accomplished is explained in the above thread.

  • My computer wont open my Itunes even though I've been able to access it from the same computer countless times before. What do I do?

    I cant get my computer to open my Itunes account either from the shortcut on my desktop or from the start menu. I've used this account hundreds of times before and don't know how to get to my Itunes library or even to the store. What do I do?

    Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • I cannot get rid of the Blingee Search Canvas tab, even though I have uninstalled the Blingee toolbar. Please help.

    I went to Blingee and for some reason, ever since, Search Canvas has become my default search engine on Firefox only. I uninstalled the Blingee toolbar. I have search my computer for "Blingee" and "Search Canvas" and there is nothing to uninstall.

    After months, I think I figured it out...
    I was frustrated because I like to use the url bar as my search engine, which is not fixed using the link posted by jadeye.
    Try this...
    * In your address bar, type in: “about:config”
    * Inside of the filter search box, type in: browser.search.defaulturl
    * ctrl click and choose “Modify”
    * Type in: http://www.google.com/search?lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    * Do the same process with: keyword.URL and use:
    http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
    I think those steps finally fixed it for me. F-ing Blingee / SearchCanvas. What a racket.

  • Why do I get message that Flash player is in use and can't be installed even though I have uninstalled it?

    Using Windows7, attempting to install Flash Player version 17.0.0.134
    I download the installer, specifically from the site for Firefox, and uninstall previous version and yet I get this message.
    Have tried several times to update and now to do new install and it is impossible. I am without the previous version, which didn't work on
    Firefox anyway, and now can't install new version. Please help.

    Hi Norman,
    lease try the following:
    Download the uninstaller from Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Download the Flash Player installer for Firefox, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems section.
    Run the uninstallerThis will remove all versions of Flash Player installed on the system except for the ActiveX Control for Internet Explorer
    Reboot your system
    Install Flash Player using the installer downloaded in step 2
    After installation completes, launch Firefox, navigate to Flash Player Help and click the 'Check Now' button.
    Results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.

  • Adobe Reader X is not properly displaying PDF's even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

    I recently updated to Firefox 5.0. In April I also updated my Adobe Reader to Version X. Suddenly, pdf's do not open properly; they are fragmented, they "smear", and they do not cover the whole page. I uninstalled all of my Adobe files this morning and reinstalled Reader and Flash Player. I used the Windows Add/Remove feature for uninstalling. I gave up trying to open JPEG's months ago and now only use the Windows fax and picture displayer that. But now I'm having PDF issues. And I download a lot of PDF's.

  • App store insists that I update the Twitter app even though I've uninstalled it

    I first downloaded the app using an old account, now I just want everything aligned to my new account.
    Thing is, as soon as I give in and update it using my old account details, I'm told it needs updating again.
    It's not a big deal but it's doing my head in. Help!
    BTW, I tried talking to Apple support about this but frankly they were useless. I don't think any of them understood what the problem was.

    I'm told it needs updating again.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash then restart your Mac.
    Try the App Store.
