How can I get rid of a search engine that doesn't show up in my list of search engines?

I installed a toolbar from Inboxdollars and since then every time I search for something it uses as my search engine something associated wit yahoo called serp.freecause.com and then I get the "problem loading page" message because it can't find the server at that address. I've uninstalled the toolbar and even took yahoo off my list of search engines. But nothing gets rid of it. Any suggestions?

I ran a complete scan with Norton Antivirus. Cleaned the Registry, history, temporary files and did a Virus Scan. It actually worked. I did not install anything to get this, but used an unprotected Wireless network and I think that/s how I picked it up.

    if this does not work look if you find it in:

    or try search the registry(but be careful) for the word "highlighter" '''and delete it'''

    Hi Sally, let's start with this to see if it makes a difference...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Restart & test.

  • How can I get rid of directory path in front of my folder names in Folder listing in Library mode???

    Im using the most recent version of Lightroom 5.3 (updated through CC - even though this has shown up on previous version) on Windows 7 and all the folders in my library are showing up with the directory path in front of my folder names. How can I get rid of this? I do not see any options in preferences to turn this off. I have also turned off preferences in Windows > Folder Options Control Panel "Display full Path in Title bar" option.
    I have Lightroom on several computers and have set up preferences the same on each workstation, and this only shows up on one workstation.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    You can see from the image  below how this is showing up.
    Thanks
    Thanks!

  • How can I get rid of a system dialogue that keeps reappearing?

    Ever since the latest system update, when my Apple TV goes into the slideshow mode, a dialogue box keeps popping up. It briefly disappears when the picture changes but I can't get rid of it permanently.  It reads:
    "Wirelessly send what's on your ios device or computer to this display using Airplay. To learn more, go to apple.com/airplay. (1) Choose Wi-Network [name of my local Wi-fi network appears] (2) Choose this Apple TV."
    I assume that the numbers 1 and 2 are options but no action I take on the Apple TV remote or the Logitech universal remote I use clears the dialogue.
    How can I eliminate this dialogue? It really defeats the purpose of the slide show!

    Same issue for me. I've updated the Conference Room Mode, but now when I start the slideshow it goes back to the Apple TV Menu? Any advise? Thanks!

  • How can I get rid of the Unwanted ads that are appearing in my e-mail display

    What appears to be the first e-mail is actually an ad. If I click on it it takes me to a website that is trying to sell me something. I can't get rid of it.

    I'm sorry, can you please respond with more information? I don't really understand your problem. Please try using another browser (Safari, Chrome) to do whatever you were doing. If the problem continues, then this refers to the website that you are connecting to.

  • How can I get a refund for an app that doesn't work?

    I just purchased "DVDRipper Pro 3.2.19. However, it just doesn't work. I was unable to get contact with the developer website to ask for support. Could anyone tell how can I get refund from App Store. Thanks.

    Refunds on downloaded software are virtually nonexistent.
    I have had cases where I purchase software on a physical disk. If I don't like the software I can uninstall it from my computer and sell it legally. Recouping most of my loss.

  • How can I get rid of this dialogue box that seems to be related to Pixel Bender?

    I recently installed CS6 (not the cloud) on Windows 8 64 Bit.  On opening I get a dialogue box, which goes away if I click on "OK" after which CS6 loads.  I reinstalled, but I still get the dialogue box.  How can I fix it?

    right click>click "run as administrator".
    if that fails, run in compatibility mode for win 7.
    if that fails:
    uninstall ps cs6.
    run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    restart your computer.
    reinstall ps cs6.

  • How can I get around recovering a data file that doesn't need to be??

    Sorry I am opening a new thread, but this is the biggest emergency of my 20+ year career.
    Oracle 11g
    1) redo logs were deleted
    2) We don't do backups of the database. It is only used to demo our product, it is not a prod database
    3) To get around the problem of the redo logs (which caused Oracle not able to start) I rebuilt the control file with the RESETLOGS option on
    Now, when I try to start the database and open it with alter database open resetlogs; I get this:
    alter database open resetlogs
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oradata/orcl/system01.dbf'
    I don't understand why it wants this and I have no idea to get around it. I don't know what to recover FROM as I already said there are no backups. But why should I have to recover anything, there never was any data loss, only the redo logs were deleted. Why can't I just tell Oracle to forget the recovery, the data files are fine?

    Yeah, it was a waste of effort to rebuild your control file. Oracle needs the redologs to perform instance recovery prior to opening the database. That doesn't change just because the control file is rebuilt.
    But you unfortunately don't have the necessary redo log file and no database backup. That means you are in real danger of losing your database completely. If you have a current support contract, you need to open a Service Request with Oracle support to see if you can salvage your database.
    As P. Forstmann indicates, there is an undocumented way to try to open a database that is missing needed redo log data. But trying and failing may leave you worse off than you are right now. So contacting Oracle support for guidance is the right approach.

  • How can I get a refund on an app that doesn't work

    I bought an application today and the application works on the orignal ipad on the old IoS 4 software but not the new IoS 5 software on my ipad 2. I have tried to remove the app and re-download the app incase it was corrupted, but still had the same problems. As this app is broken and doesn't work as advertised is there away for me to get a refund on this application that is obviously broken?

    Hey david798,
    The only way at this point to get a refund on an app would be using Apple's direct online support feature "Express Lane." It's actually quite a cool feature. I believe reimbursment as of right now only has email support but the reps are extremely fast, thourough and helpful. I'll toss you a link at the bottom of this page, go ahead and choose all the applicable options and give a detailed description about the situation and I think they will take good care of you.

  • How can i get rid of the Google Bar that is located to the right of the "awesome" bar on the navigation toolbar?

    this is the Google search window/bar that seems to be automatically placed on the navigation tool bar. since Google is my home page, i don't want it to also appear on the nav bar.

    Go to View | Toolbars | Customize. You'll see a panel appear. Drag anything you don't want in there including the Search bar. I don't use it either.
    You can drag it back out again if you decide later you want it again.

  • How can I get rid of a white screen that appears for 3 secs on startup

    Since my last Thunderbird upgrade to 31.3 I get a white screen for 3 seconds during start-up and before I see my folders.
    I use Thunderbird to access one Yahoo.co.uk account and 2 Outlook.com accounts.
    All plugins are disabled.
    I have one extension, CompactHeader 2.0.9 which I removed but the problem remained. I have now reinstalled it.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird - problem just the same.
    If I start in safe mode there is no white screen, it loads normally straight to folders.
    I'm not sure what to try next so any suggestions are welcome.
    Cheers

    is thunderbird better?
