How do I get rid of an authentication pop up window permantly

I have a pop up an authentication pop up window for something called http://www.baracksbirdaycards.com that will not go away. It keeps popping up & when it does it stops me from what I am doing. No matter how many times I click the red X or cancel it comes right back. Can you tell me how to get rid of it.

  • How Do I Get Rid of all these Pop-Up Windows?

    Somewhere along the line, something seems to have added itself to Safari, so now every other new window is a sales site.  For example, just in the last couple of clicks I've had two different pop-ups for Mac cleaning utilities (MacKeeper is CONSTANTLY appearing) and even a telephone support line.  What can I do to get rid of all these pop-ups?  Is it a virus?  I admit I don't keep as close an eye on that sort of thing as I probably should.  They are driving me to the point where I'm about to try Firefox just to see if I can get rid of some of them, but I like Safari so much better so I'd like to solve the problem if I can.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

    How do I get rid of the annoying pop up from the adobe trial after I have bought and installed adobe pro?

    This isn't an annoying pop-up. Rather, it is seriously telling you that it doesn't know that you have licensed the software, and it will continue to be a trial, and will stop when the 30 days are up.
    So you must tell it that you have licensed the software.

  • How do I get rid of icons around Finder's window?

    How do I get rid of icons (mere document shortcuts) around Finder's window (in the frame, the grey area).  They were not there in the first place, just got there somehow.  For example on the left side I have: documents, desktop, applications, movies (there are all good).... and a silly pdf document that shouldn't be there.  I can't move it or bin it, it just stays there...
    There are also more such icons (shortcuts to documents) across the top of that window: amongst the "View", "Action", "Dropbox" icons (which are all good), there are also shortcuts to pdf documents or folders of documents which were never meant to end up there...  How can I clean this up?
    Thanks for any info!

  • How do I get rid of your Resend pop up?

    Although I have clicked "Block all pop-up windows", every time I hit reload or back, I get a Firefox Pop-up window telling me that it will resend the web page. First of all, why does Firefox make itself an exception to my not wanting pop-ups? They are redundant, annoying, in your face and REQUIRE EXTRA WORK! Secondly, doesn't Reload and Resend mean and do the same thing? How do I get rid of your Pop-Up Resend annoyance window please?

    This has nothing to do with Classic.    Flash is an Adobe animation software used for animation and audio links on web browsers.

  • How do I get rid of an Advertising pop up virus?

    I have an iMac running Yosemite.  I am having a problem with a virus that covers web pages with Advertising.  I ran Bitdefender Virus Scanner but the problem remains.  How do I get rid of this virus?  Thanks.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

    I keep uninstalling Adobe to get rid of this problem. Then something comes along that I need Adobe for and install again.
    Then this same problem is back.  I won't even consider buying an Adobe product until I know the issue can be resolved.
    I'm frustrated in Texas.  I cannot find a way to contact customer service about this, so I guess this has to be the next best thing.

  • How do I get rid of all the pop-up ads ?

    I have a pop-up blocker activated.  Seems they come through my Flash Player.  They are very annoying.  How do I get rid of them?  Using FireFox.

    One potential cause of unexpected pop-ups is an extension. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
    Orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category (in the left column, click Extensions)
    Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
