How do i get rid of a instructional information that displays under the status bar?

The instructional information that displays below the status bar tells how
to add info to the custom search menu wizard and it covers part of my browser window.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • In chrome I'm getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?

    I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome.  The only extension I have is Google docs.  I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?  People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
    Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
    Thanks!

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions 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 before proceeding.
    Step 1
    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," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    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 "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    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.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. 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.
    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 Internet criminal behind VSearch 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. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't 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.

    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.

  • The new U2 album that I never asked for keep playing on my Ipad, how do I get rid of it ? seems to come from the iCloud....

    need to delete this album from my ipad...
    icons of iCloud on the right of the songs.
    the album appears under artists
    doesn't appear on lists
    doesn't appear on the Imac when Ipad connected ?
    how do I suppress this music I don't want ?

    ok thx for answering, but I still don’t understand why the music is playing while I never downloaded it ?
    when I use the music icon on my Ipad, on my lists, it suddenly plays the U2 noise in the middle of it
    why, if it’s not on my Ipad ?

    when it show a cloud to the right then it's not on your device
    it mean that it's tied to y our iCloud account and can be redownloaded should you wish to
    if you buy other music from iTunes and don't want it on the iOS device anymore because you transferred to your computer
    and wish to add other music then that too will show with the cloud it mean that should you wish you can get it downloaded again free
    it's pretty much the same deal in app store app where you can click on purchases and access all apps tied to your appleID

  • I am stuck with a google theme behind the bookmark tab bar and url box. How do I get rid of it? changing themes isn't the issue - it's just all stuck in back!

    I set a theme on igoogle - but it seems to now be embedded in my firefox as it is behind the url box, behind the bookmark tab bar and at the bottom of the page. How do I get rid of it. I can still change themes but they stay on the google page as they should. this has nothing to do with my screen saver and my desktop screens - they are different and ok - seems to be stuck in Firefox particularly.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a month ago when I changed themes on google

  • How can I get rid of tab groups (not a button, but the feature itself)? Hate it. Thank you.

    I would like to have just tabs without groups, visible all at once, as we had it in previous firefox versions. I don't see any instructions/options. Please help.

    To uninstall Ask Toolbar program from your computer,click the Start button, click on Control Panel,the select Uninstall a program. Search and uninstall Ask Toolbar Updater and Ask Toolbar from your computer.
    Next you want to uninstall Ask from Firefox:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click the orange Firefox button, then select Add-ons.
    * Select the Extensions tab, then remove Ask Toolbar and any other unknown extensions from Mozilla Firefox.
    * To reset your search engine and homepage to their default, you can use the SearchReset extension.This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.
    **https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    You can also use [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ ADWCleaner] to get rid of Ask's registry keys.
    Use the following scanners to make sure Ask is removed:

  • How do i get rid of old rented movies that are a week over due when it was only a one day rental?

    hi, i have been trying to get rid of my rented movies that keep wanting to download and they are using up all my space on the ipod. because of this i have to restore my ipod every time i try to use it because of the two movies "The Proposal" and "Me, Myself, and Irene" and it is keeping me from watching a newly rented movie "Beowulf". i would like it if the two movies "The Proposal" and "Me,Myself, and Irene" were wiped off of my account so that i mat proceed with watching my other movies. this has been a hassle for me long enough. so please take the first two movies i mentioned off of my downlods list on my itunes account but not "Beowulf". thank you.

    Favicons usually expire after some time, but I don't know how long this takes.
    See also:
    *Bookmark Favicon Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-favicon-changer/
    Try to remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

    Are you sure that it comes from Adobe?

    There are many fake pop-ups that will most likely infect you with malware if you let it install.
    Only download Adobe updates from adobe.com or macromedia.com websites.
