How do I get rid of annoying popups in Safari?

All of the sudden I started getting annoying popups in Safari.  When I close them, they reopen a short time later.  I have popups blocked in my preferences.  Please help.  It's driving me crazy.

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 annoying popups

    My husband uses the IPad to read and play card games. How do we get rid of those annoying pop up ads while he's playing cards.  Specifically Hearts and Solitaire.  Pop ups will appear when dealing another hand.  Sometimes the entire screen goes black except for one tiny little x that we have to click numerous times before the fame comes back.  he really gets frustrated and i cant help him.  Any suggestions?

    I don't play hearts, but I do play Solebon Solitaire. I play the iPhone version on my iPad, but I see that they have a pro version for the iPad.

    probably didn't buy it cause I already had one. Anyway, lots of games, actually programmed so that you can win every once in a while. I really like it.
    For Hearts, I'd look at reviews and ratings. That often gives you an indication if the app is any good or not.

  • How do I get rid of annoying popups even after the proper settings have been checked?

    Popup blocker is on but I still get annoying popups. When I use Google Chrome I do not get any popups. I tried for hours to get rid of these and also have asked questions with no answers.....I guess if you people cant help I'll have to resort to making GOOGLE CHROME my default browser....thats how bad the popups are!

    In that case, you have the Downlite (aka VSearch, aka DynamicPricer) adware installed at a minimum. See:

    If that page is blocked as well, see:

  • How do I get rid of annoying arcade game on new firefox start page?

    Most recent update of Firefox plays an annoying arcade-type game on the start page. How can I get rid of it?

    Heheh, it's Mozilla being cheerfully quirky on the Firefox page (you are talking about the Mozilla Firefox Start Page or "about:home", right?).
    If so, Mozilla will be changing it with another image in the future; I don't know when, though. For now, you have a few options:
    * Set Google/Bing/etc. as your homepage so that you won't see the Start Page when Firefox launches.
    * Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/?src=userprofile Stylish] extension to remove the image.
    '''Using the Stylish Addon''':
    # Click the Stylish icon > Write new Style > For this URL (as seen in the first image below)
    # Create a style as seen in the second image (you can name it whatever you'd like, but <br> <code>#brandLogo {<br> &nbsp; visibility: hidden;<br>}</code> <br>must be kept. This makes the arcade game invisible. If you'd like to remove it altogether, swap <code>visibility:hidden;</code> with <code>display:none;</code>.
    Save your style. A few weeks later, you can check to see if the arcade game has been removed by Mozilla by disabling the Stylish style on the Start Page. I know it's not a straightforward fix, but it's the best I can do. :)
    I hope that helped you!
    ''If it did, please mark this answer as the solution so that others can find information on the forums quickly. Thanks!
    And of course, please post back if you need more help.

  • How can i get rid of mackeeperapp popup

    I need help to get rid of mackeeperapp popup. Since approx. 2 weeks it opens whenever I use google search machine after I chosen a topic there. Then the website of mackeeper opens up in a new window trying to persuade you to download their programme. I've downloaded adblock, but didn't get rid of mackeeper; used duckduckgo instead of safari, it didn't help either. Any suggestions how to get rid of that popup?

  • How can I get rid of annoying "Unnamed USB device" messege??

    Whenever I boot into OS9.2.2 on my other drive in my dual 500Mhz. G4 I get a usb upgrade messege window:
    "Software needed for the USB device "Unnamed device" is not available. Would you like to look for the software on the internet?"
    This appears everytime I boot, restart, startup on this drive. I've looked for this "unnamed device" in various places like the extensions folder to delete it but I can't find it anywhere. All of my usb devices are functioning and have been named including my MIDI controller. It would be great if I could get rid of this annoying reminder.......how can I get rid of this???
    500mhz. Dual processor (revision B) dual boot   Mac OS 9.2.x   1.25gig RAM

    I think it's my midi controller. I unplugged iton startup and I didn't get the messege. I've got the right driver installed for it and it's working fine so I don't know why I keep getting the messege. It's annoying to have to answer the question everytime time I startup.

  • How do I get rid of annoying text at end of yahoo email?

    Using Safari and Yahoo email.  No signature has been set yet every email ends with a tailing set of characters, one character per line as follows:
    Preferences § 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = Backspace Tab q w e r t y u i o p [ ] Return capslock a s d f g h j k l ; ' \ shift ` z x c v b n m , . / shift English alt alt Preferences
    What is causing this and how can I get rid of it?
    I am actually asking for my daughter.  This has been going on for a long time and I am stumped.  I have gone into both Yahoo email and Safari preferences and can find no reason for this happening. 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • How can I get rid of search history in Safari on my iPad?

    When I highlight one to delete, the search kicks in. How can I get rid of the history?

    You can go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, cookies and data and then delete every bookmark and that should clear it temporarily, but it will only be temporary. As soon as you starting using the search again, then suggestions will appear again.
    I think that I may have misread your question - if you want to clear all of the history - use the Clear History button in the upper right corner of the History window. You cannot delete one item at a time.

  • How do I get rid of survey popups

    I am using windows 7. For the last few weeks, almost every time I click on a website I get a survey popup. I've tried all the normal ways to get rid of them, but still they popup. I've downloaded Spybot and Malwarebytes, and still no good. How can I stop them?

    Because you are answering a question with another question. As most know, you are just fishing for an endless supply of things that the original writer probably doesn't know anyway. You are not being helpful, you are just stringing out the conversation. Want to know how irritating this can be? Just watch politicians doing EXACTLY that when asked a question on television! The endless NOT answering makes for time wasting. You don't know, so stop pretending. There is a commonality about this particular irritant which allows it to pick up the name from any site visited and insert it into it's psuedo 'Survey'. I don't have the answer any more than you do, but i'm not pretending that I have any solution - I don't.. Neither do you.

  • How do i get rid of warning popups from FF like FF won't allow this page to open?

    Simply put every time I try to open a page Firefox always pops up a warning box that says do I want to allow FF to open this page or some other such nonsensical idiocy! If I didn't want to open the blasted page would I have entered it in the first bloody place? I have my pop ups enabled for all pop ups already and that does not work either. What I want is this- NO WARNINGS FROM FF ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL!!- How do I accomplish this major miracle? I run Firefox 3.6.16 because FF4 crashes more than 16 does. 16 works like crap too and won't allow imports from IE or Opera, Chrome or Orca or even Cometbird. I cannot file for my unemployment comp unless I can get rid of this pop up and fast! Can anyone help me? Please? Thanks I hope- JKMc/keimanzero

    That seems to work for when I run the page through the iSupplier portal. However I noticed during development when I am testing the page on my computer, I am still getting this message? Is there anyway to get rid of it on the client side? I assume that profile is set correctly on the development instance which you are using from JDEV.
    Sometimes you need apache bounce to make sure the profile option change come into effect.
    So do a apache bounce.
