How do I get rid of "Download Status Bar: Anti-virus failed to start, check configuration?

This appears when I try to download, say Adobe Flash Player; I "X" it, or "OK" it, and i get no download. This anti-virus scan thing, I think, is left over from a much earlier version of Firefox and I don't know how to get rid of it. Previous to the last four or five months or so, I could X or OK it and still get my download, but no longer.

I was able to get rid of this problem by opening the options for the add-on "Download Statusbar 0.9.8" (Tools>Add-ons and select Extensions). In the Options form select the final tab labeled "Virus Scan", and de-select "Manually scan completed downloads". Alternatively, select this option but ensure the path in the "Anti-virus program location" correctly points to a valid anti-virus executable (I did not test this). Hope this helps...

  • In 4.1, how can I get rid of the Status bar (bottom left or right corners)?...It is very annoying in some pogo games I play.

    The status bar appears at the bottom corner of the page, covering up ongoing info at the bottom of my pogo game page. If I hover the cursor over top of it, it moves to the other bottom corner....very annoying to have it pop up like that.

  • How do I get rid of the contact bar on my FaceTime screen

    How do I get rid of the contact bar off my FaceTime screen. I went to add a contact and the bar comes up. Now I can't figure out how to get it off my screen. I am tapping everywhere.

    I just exit (completely) by tapping on the Home button. Of course, you can also add a contact from within Face Time by clicking on the plus sign.
    Do you see any occasion where you need to view the entire screen other than during a call?

  • When i download a file from the web i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I change anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

    every time i download a file from the web (ie. a PDF file) i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I changed anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

    That is a very good warning provided by the Download Statusbar extension. Something like that should been built into Firefox. I filed this Bug report a couple of years ago, about the lack of a warning like that. <br />
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480855 <br />
    I have looked everywhere that I can think of to find a list of '''IOfficeAntiVirus providers''' ''(as mentioned in the Bug report)'' that will work with Firefox, so I can't answer that for you.
    You might want to ask the developer of the Download Statusbar extension about it. He might know which AV programs are compatible with the Windows API that Firefox uses for the download scan. <br />

  • FILES: how do I get rid of EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?

    I dropped my laptop and damaged the drive. My computer forensic friend salvaged specific files.
    Transfered to a FAT32 drive and then copied to Mac.
    Most of files are fine with the exception of some setings files that showed up as Unix executables. The few original files that I have to compare them to, show "Document" as the file "Kind" and the "open with" shows "none" in Get Info
    When I look at the contents of the files they look fine. How do I get rid of the EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    These are settings files for a set of .wav samples for an AU drum plug-in.

    If you have xcode installed, you might want to find out what the type and creator code for these files should be. Since the files have visited a FAT32 file sytem, you will have lost all resource forks as well as type and creator HFS+ meta data.
    So assuming you do have xcode, create a new AU drum plug-in file then in the terminal:
    <pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo newfile</pre>
    Then use:
    <pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/SetFile -t '(insert type)' -c '(insert creator)' oldfile</pre>
    If there's a lot of these you might automate the process using the find command.

  • How do I get rid of 'download' option when someone clicks on a photo on my website?

    I mad my website in iWeb. How do I get rid of the 'download' option I see on the page. It appears when I click on a photo. If I click on 'slideshow' it is not there. I  have my photos in folders on my website. Hope someone can help!

    You don't republish any site as 'Ethmoid'.  There is no term here that you need to be familiar with!
    Did you read Old Toad's post properly?  If not then go back and read what he actually wrote, which was - "Once you republish the site as Ethmoid mentioned".  Spot your mistake?
    Just re-publish your site as you normally would and then clear your browser cache.

    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.

    Check the item properties of the sequence. It sounds as if you're editing in a standard definition sequence, which is the default that FCE creates, unless you set the correct format when you first launch the application.

  • How can I get rid of the playlist bar in the music player?

    Hello everyone! I want to know if I can get rid of the transparent playlist bar which shows over the cover artwork in the music player (ios 6) or Lagu. When I play one song alone, the artwork shows fully and that's how I would like it to be when playing playlists. Is there a way? In the ios 7 the artwork this does not happen, but the artwork is smaller and on a white background, which I don't like either. Thank you.
