How can I get rid of the "My Search Dial toolbar and all the other junk following it??

I downloaded Defrag2 and got it and any number of annoying other things, among which is this "My Search Dial toolbar followed by shopping deals and adds for registry fixing, etc.
Running Windows Vista, home.

To continue the hygiene at the broader level:
(1) Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent to the top and see what was bundled with what. Gather all relevant intelligence and then uninstall what you can.
(2) Use some supplemental malware cleaners to exorcise remaining demons. This article lists scanners that other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

  • How can I get ride of "Send Later"? It crops up all the time and then I never can find where the email went. I never write an email that I do't want to send

    Oh!
    First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
    Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
    Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
    Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
    Best of luck!

  • How can I get rid of app upgrades, when I no longer have the app?

    How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

    If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
    If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

    Try to set the browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page.

    If you want to have the window title bar visible then you can find that setting at the bottom of the customize window.

  • I need my email (Mail for Mac) passwords. How can I get them? I posted a detailed question and found the OS and the problem category were wrong.

    Please, someone help. I just need my email passwords. Everything has stopped working. Apple is ZERO help. I get constant dialog boxes asking for passwords. I've tried listing every password I've ever used at least 25-50 times, to no avail. Thank you. I can't even post this to an appropriate community or select an appropriate category or correct OS. Apple is totally useless.

    Not sure what you are referring to? Apple Mail does not require a password. Please describe exactly what is happening, what email you are using, when the request for the password is showing up, and what the exact message is.

  • How can I get rid of baseline drift in an ecg without having the dfdt or advanced signal processing toolkits?

    Hello,
    I am recieving a lot of baseline drift in my ECG signal and was wondering how I can get rid of it? I saw examples at NI .com but they used the digital filter design toolkit and the advanced sgnal processing tollkit. I have neither one of these and since I am a student and this is my senior project I have no means to get these toolkits. I tried using a high pass filter but this did not work.\
    Ray

    Ray,
    When you say that something did not work, you are not giving much information for us to use to try to help you. Did the filter not work or did it not remove the drift?
    How big is the drift, compared to the desired signal? How fast does it drift? How long are your sample sets? What are you doing with the ECG data? Looking at heart rate or analyzing a single-beat waveform for morphological changes? I think you can see that different end goals might require different approaches to baseline compensation.
    If the drift is always fairly slow, you might be able to take small segments and subtract the mean of each segment. This may result in some offset or shift at the segment boundaries, but it is very simple and can easily be implemented without requiring a special toolkit.
    Another approach is to low pass filter the ECG signal to extract an estimate of the baseline which can then be subtracted. Remember that all filters have a transient response and many will have a phase shift between the input and output.

    Hi D4309.
    You probably have a troublesome font installed that causes this (e.g. Helvetica Fractions). If that's the case, get rid of it:

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, and whenever I try to open some apps I get this very annoying message: Connect to iTunes to use push notifications! How can I get rid of this? I have tried reset all settings but to no avail!

    How can I fix this?

    I had the same problem as well as problem signing in to both iMessage and Facetime (didn't want to activate my apple id).
    I solved it by...
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and the most recent version of iOS installed on your phone.
    Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable. Click the File menu in iTunes, then select Devices > Back Up, and click on Back Up Now.
    To make sure the backup is complete, open the iTunes Preferences menu and click on the Devices tab. The name of your phone and the time of backup should appear. Once verified, disconnect the phone from your computer.
    Once you’re all backed up, turn on your new phone and complete the setup assistant. When you reach the screen that says Set Up iPhone, choose “Restore from iTunes Backup” and select the backup of your old phone you wish to use.
    Connect your new phone to iTunes, select the backup of your old phone, and click Continue.
    Wait until your phone has been fully restored before you use it. It will restart when ready.
    Keep your phone connected to iTunes to sync any data that wasn’t stored in your backup (like apps, music and video). You can check which data is synced through the syncing tabs in iTunes.
    Once backed up, you will still need to provide passwords for your email and voicemail, along with other synced accounts.
    Took about an hour all in all but managed to keep everything including camera roll and messages etc.

  • How can I get rid of an old iphone account as blocking all my streaming

    I keep getting an old iphone account id popping up and asking me for passwork to access apple, I have registered a new id but cant seem to use it as the old one won't disappear, any ideas?

    Thanks for the help, I have changed all my icloud, itunes and Apple to a new account name, but its just that when the phone 4s, asks to sign in it doesn't give me the option of choosing which account I want to sigh into, it just brings up my old account name. I'm thinking I may have to visit and Apple shop.

  • How can I get iOS "Contacts" to sort search results on a name-first, other-fields-next basis?

    Example: I type "jo sm" into the search bar in Contacts on iOS 7, expecting John Smith and Josephine Smolens to appear at the top of the list, as they are the only ones of my contacts whose name matches the pattern "jo* sm*".  Instead, they are perhaps numbers 15 and 34 on the list, as other peoples' Notes fields also contain the pattern "jo* sm*".
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    This does not answer my question.  I apologize for my lack of clarity when I tried to explain the problem. 
    To clarify: I'm not using wild card characters; I was just trying to explain the behavior I get and how it's different from what I want.  Let me try again a slightly different way:
    When I type "jo sm" into the Search bar in iOS 7 Contacts, I want the first results to be the people whose First Name starts with (or even just contains) "jo" and whose Last Name starts with (or contains) "sm".
    Instead, I get all contacts whose Notes contain the letters "jo" and "sm" anywhere at all (which is many many people), and they are given to me in an order that seems random.  Therefore, when I type "jo sm", I don't see the contact I'm looking for because he/she is routinely three pages down the list.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How can I get my audio on page 2 to pause and start on other pages?

    Hi!
    I have put an audio file in my InDesign ebook on page 2 and would like to get it to pause and then start again from where it stopped on different pages without it starting all over.
    My book is an interactive pdf right now (until I can figure out how to successfully get it in the ePub format. Yes, I'm new at this! )
    PLEASE can someone help me with this?
    Thanks!!

    Hey Jstugelmeyer,
    First, I would go through these three steps:
    Restart your device.
    Update to the latest iOS Software.
    If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
    Then, if you still can't send or receive MMS messages:
    To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
    Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
    Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
    If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
    While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
    If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.

    Hi
    Just thinking.
    • Did You try more than one stand alone DVD-player ?
    • When You burned Your DVD - Did the internal Hard disk have more than 25Gb free space
    iDVD and Mac OS Can't address any other for it's temp files - pretty important.
    If so I would.
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    Yours Bengt W
