How can I remove bing and pop ups?

I need help removing Bing and stopping unwanted windows popping up when browsing. Any ideas please?

If you want to change your search engine from Bing to something else then open Safari -Preferences and make the change there.
To prevent popups navigate to Safari - Preferences - Extensions - Add Extensions - get AdBlock

  • How do i get ads and pop ups off my computer?

    How do I get ads and pop ups off my computer?

    Your question is one that tends to bring out the worst of all the bad advice that infests this site. There is, in fact, no need to download anything to solve the 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 remove asm and ocr installation in AIX?

    Hi,
    I try to install single instance with using ASM in AIX.
    But I did not make successfully.
    Now I want to remove ASM and OCR installation then
    I will plan to make new clear installation.
    How can I remove asm and ocr ??
    Or How can I control my removing is fully correct ?

    1) ASM Instance Clean-Up Procedures
    Stop all of the databases that use the ASM instance that is running from the Oracle home that is on the node that you are deleting.
    On the node that you are deleting, if this is the Oracle home which from which the ASM instance runs, then remove the ASM configuration by completing the following steps. Run the command srvctl stop asm -n node_name for all of the nodes on which this Oracle home exists. Run the command srvctl remove asm -n node for all nodes on which this Oracle home exists. If there are databases on this node that use ASM, then use DBCA Disk Group Management to create an ASM instance on one of the existing Oracle homes on the node, restart the databases if you stopped them.
    If you are using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then ensure that your local node has the $ORACLE_BASE and $ORACLE_HOME environment variables set correctly. Run the following commands from a node other than the node that you are deleting, where node_number is the node number of the node that you are deleting:
    rm -r $ORACLE_BASE/admin/+ASMnode_number
    rm -f $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/*ASMnode_number
    If you are not using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then run the rm or delete commands mentioned in the previous step on each node on which the Oracle home exists.
    2) Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Silent Mode
    !!! Oracle recommends that you back up your voting disk and OCR files after you complete the node deletion process.
    If you ran the Oracle Interface Configuration Tool (OIFCFG) with the -global flag during the installation, then skip this step. Otherwise, from a node that is going to remain in your cluster, from the CRS_home/bin directory, run the following command where node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
    ./oifcfg delif –node node2
    Obtain the remote port number, which you will use in the next step, using the following command from the CRS_home/opmn/conf directory:
    cat ons.config
    From CRS_home/bin on a node that is going to remain in the cluster, run the Oracle Notification Service Utility (RACGONS) as in the following example where remote_port is the ONS remote port number that you obtained in the previous step and node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
    ./racgons remove_config node2:remote_port
    On the node to be deleted, run rootdelete.sh as the root user from the CRS_home/install directory. If you are deleting more than one node, then perform this step on all of the other nodes that you are deleting.
    From any node that you are not deleting, run the following command from the CRS_home/install directory as the root user where node2,node2-number represents the node and the node number that you want to delete:
    ./rootdeletenode.sh node2,node2-number
    If necessary, identify the node number using the following command on the node that you are deleting:
    CRS_home/bin/olsnodes -n
    Perform this step only if your are using a non-shared Oracle home. On the node or nodes to be deleted, run the following command from the CRS_home/oui/bin directory where node_to_be_deleted is the name of the node that you are deleting:
    ./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=CRS_home
    "CLUSTER_NODES={node_to_be_deleted}"
    CRS=TRUE -local
    Deinstall the Oracle Clusterware home from the node that you are deleting using OUI as follows by running the following command from the Oracle_home/oui/bin directory, where CRS_home is the name defined for the Oracle Clusterware home:
    ./runInstaller -deinstall –silent "REMOVE_HOMES={CRS_home}"
    Perform step 9 from the previous section about using OUI interactively under the heading "Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Interactive Mode".

  • How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

    how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

    I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

  • How can i remove duplicates and certain contacts on Outlook and my iPhone?

    I use the Outlook mail and contact program on my PC with a Windows 7 operating system, which I sync with my iPhone5.
    After installing the iCloud program, I now have duplicate and sometimes quadruplicate contacts.
    1. How can I remove the duplicates?
    2. How can I be selective about which contacts I want to share on iCloud, in other words, can I share only certain contact categories/folders like work contacts or personal contacts?
    3. How can I "uncloud" specific contacts and have them appear only on my computer and not on my iPhone?
    4. Is there a way to restore accidently deleted contacts?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    Select what is desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • How can i remove Go and Exit buttons as well as Advanced text from OVS help

    Hi Gurus,
    Once i have impleted OVS code in my webdynpro, i am able to see Go and Exit buttons as well as Advanced Search Text, but i do not want see buttons and Text in my screen, How can i remove the same?
    Thanks
    Venkat.

    Hi Venkat,
    Create a context attribute say Va_Attr1 in the parent view, popup view and component controller. Map both the context in 2views to the component controller. So, the context variable which is bound to input field is passed via component controller to popup view and is stored in there as context attribute.
    Now, you can just get the context attribute value set in the input field in parent view and use it for search in popup view.
    In order, to have tables with multi-selection. Goto table properties and in selectionMode, set multiNoLead instead of auto.
    Then in the wdDoInit() of popup view put,
    wdContext.node<Table>().setLeadSelection(-1);
    Loop through the table node and find out at what all index rows are selected for table using
    int count=0;
    String s = "";
    for(int i1=0; i1<wdContext.node<Table>().size();i++){
       if(wdContext.node<Table>().isMultiSelected(i1)==true){
        count = count+ 1;
        s=s+ i1;
    count will give you no. of rows selected which would be equal to s.length.
    s.CharAt(0) will give the first row selected and similarly
    s.CharAt(n) will give the nth row selected
    Using Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(n)) will give you back the index int type where s.length will give No. of rows selected.
    For rows which are selected append the text values of all those separated by ";" using
    StringBuffer strBf = new StringBuffer();
    for(int i=0; i< <No. of rows selected>; i++){
    if(i=0){
    strBf.append(wdContext.node<Table>().get<Table>ElementAt(Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(i))).get<Text>());
    }else{
    strBf.append(";" + wdContext.node<Table>().get<Table>ElementAt(Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(i))).get<Text>());
    Finally when 1 or more row is selected and needs to be populated in the input field then set in the context attribute which will pass the value through context mapping using
    wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_Attr(strBf.toString);

  • How can I remove Bing from the navagation toolbar?

    I have a Bing search box on the navigation toolbar and I want it removed. Please inform me as to the process to do the Bing removal.

    I searched frustrated for hours and this ACTUALLY does work!! It won't let me post a link here for some reason but there is a site called thesafemac(dot)com and the programmer there offers an adware program called the AdMedic. It's free to download, though a pop up box will ask you for a donation after install. You can click 'already donated' and it will go away or do what I did and donate a tiny amount once I saw the magic it worked (donation box never came back after that and the donation was through Paypal a few days back and no sign of weirdness there). Anyways, just open the AdMedic program once installed from Applications and run a scan. It finds that crappy crap in a flash and you can delete all at once. It restarts your computer and WHAM, you're back to normal. This REALLY fixed the annoying Bing problem on both my search engine and my tabs. It does reset it to the original Firefox browser which I then set to Google, but all my bookmarks were still in place. Well worth the tiny donation I gave him!! Hope this helps!!

  • How can I get Facebook game pop-ups to appear without having to downgrade Firefox as I need version 6 for work?

    When I try to send back a gift in a Facebook game, there should be a pop-up that appears to allow me to do this. However in the newest version of Firefox, I can not get these pop-ups to appear and I have to have version 6 to be able to work from home. So how do I fix this?

    This might be because your settings are configured to block pop-ups. To fix this:
    1. Go to: Firefox > Options > Content
    2. Untick the 'Block popup windows' option
    3. Click 'OK'
    '''If this was the answer you were looking for, please click 'Solved' -- Thanks.'''

  • How can i remove moved and deleted old libraries?

    I've moved a bunch of my libraries around, removed some, and have installed iphoto9 on a new mac. I love that in iphoto9 I can now create new libraries or decide which library to open. But, all of my older libraries are showing up in the list when I open with "option". Plus there are duplicates of the older libraries. I'm assuming there is a db or data text file somewhere that is populating this list. Does anyone know how I can remove old defunct libraries from showing up in the list?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks Terrence. I didn't even realize all these old files still had album xml files. I appreciate your help.
