How can I get rid of Tencent QQ Adware?

Hey
Just wondering if any one here runs Tencent QQ on mac os x? I have to run QQ as everyone in China uses it for: work, file sharing, blogging, and communication.
The PC version is full of all sorts of horrors. But I'm finding problems with the mac version and I can't find any information about it, having googled around for a day or so.
I'm running there english for mac version which is still in Bata and has been for a year or so now.
I'm getting a lot of random pop up adds in Chinese in all my web browsers, and I don't know what to do to get rid of them!
I have just tried running VirusBarrer X6. It's the only anti virus program I have found good reviews for the mac. But that did not find anything on my computer. It also dose not notice the adds appearing even though its running in the back ground.
I have deleted all cookies and used the mac firewall to block QQ but I still have adware.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Thanks

I have installed AdBlocker which is 'donation-ware'. It does block some pop-up ads. You might have to add a filter for this particular ad.

This hasn't caused me any problems yet that matter and it doesn't block all ads/pop-up ads without adding more specific filters. I haven't tried to add my own filters yet. I have noticed that it blocks part of one section in Yahoo.

How do I get rid of Bing and adware on my macbook? I have changed the preferences on Safari to google, and tried to download an adware remover, but things are now worse!

Hi can anyone help me to get rid of Bing and all sorts of Adware on my macbook which arrive everytime I use Safari? I have changed the Safari preferences but Bing won't go away, and worse, it comes up with adverts. I also seem to be losing things I do want - like VLC player- its creepy

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
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.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it 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.
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 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>   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!

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
How do I get rid of the other stuff?
capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

How do I get rid of the Firefox disc icon on my desktop?

If you have not tried this already, try this.

Select Calendar and uncheck the box beside "Badge app icon".

How do I get rid of the /welcome subdomain address from my website address?

My website cobbity.com redirects to cobbity.com/welcome when opened on home page, how can I get rid of this problem?
thanks in advance

Why is this a problem? It is perfectly normal - Welcome is the very first page of your website, so when someone enters your url, it will go to the first page of your site which happens to be http://www.cobbity.com/Welcome.html.
My own site is the same - my first page is welcome and when someone types in my url it goes to http://www.domain.com/Welcome.html. Normal.
Where are you publishing to? MobileMe or an external server such as GoDaddy? If MMe, then you can change the way in which you link your domain name to your site - rather than using CNAME forwarding, change it to masked web forwarding. If you use this, then you forward your domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename and all that you will then see is http://www.domain.com for every single page if this is what you want?
Only problem with this is that people cannot bookmark individual pages of your site, just the whole site.
