How do I get rid of funmood browser extension toolbar and search redirector . I suspect it's a malware. when I try option in firefox a window opens up asking me about setting changes

I tried to uninstall the toolbar through Control Panel and changing browser settings and it worked temporarily a couple of times, but the toolbar keeps coming back. Now a window has opened up and can't be closed. it says:" browser settings change, an unknown change was detected on your browser search settings: keep current settings" or "I'm aware if this change and approve it". I have 2 accesses to firefox: one on the bottom toolbar and one on the screen. This window stops me from accessing firefox from the toolbar. It looks like very soon I won't have access to firefox anymore. I found a site that claims to remove it but provides ni identity: http://removal-tool.blogspot.com/2012/01/remove-funmoods-browser-extension.html is it safe to try it?

Hi Jessbee. In Firefox, go into Tools>AddOns>Extensions, and disable then uninstall the toolbar from Firefox. Reboot Firefox. You also have to go into Control Panel/Programs and uninstall the software from there. Then run Malwarebytes Antimalware to get rid of the leftovers.

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

  • How do I get rid of Maverick on my computer and revert to the previous operating system? This update has nearly ruined my iMac destroying its speed, efficiency and flexibility.

    How do I get rid of Maverick on my computer and revert to the previous operating system? This update has nearly ruined my iMac destroying its speed, efficiency and flexibility.

    If restoring to the previous state from backup isn't an option (hopefully it is), it may be easier to try to resolve what is causing problems. It's possible that some incompatible software you have installed is messing with the smooth running of your Mac.
    Can you describe more fully what problems you are experiencing? You could also run EtreCheck and post the contents of its report here - it may reveal the cause as there is some software 'out there' that is known to create problems: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • How can I get rid of tabbed browsing? I positively hate it and none of the choices in tools get rid of them.

    I was using an older version of FF because the newer versions had messed up private browsing and I had the option of deciding if I wanted tabbed browsing. I switched to a newer version because a lot of sites didn't work with the older version.
    I went into tools - tabs and checked what I used to use not to get tabbed browsing. Doesn't work.
    Please tell me how to get rid of tabbed browsing and how to switch back and forth to private and regular browsing without opening a new tab/window.
    If I can't get rid of tabbed browsing I guess I'll muddle along with an older version.

    Note that we don't have anything to do with Firefox development. The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
    If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
    Also, to avoid this thread turning into a back and forth argument about Firefox's UI, I'll be closing this thread as your initial problem was solved. If you feel the need to open a new thread for a new support request, please do so.

  • How do I get rid of the latest MSN toolbar from my firefox? I've removed it from my Control Panel but the toolbar is still on my browser!

    I was prompted to download the latest version of MSN Chat. Just one click and the whole package was installed on my computer... The toolbar...and my search engine got replaced by Bing. I've uninstalled both the toolbar and the MSN Chat from my laptop. The toolbar and Bing are still on, however. This also results in the dysfunction of my Firefox. My first Firefox window carries the text "Well, this is embarrassing." and the details which you probably already know. It takes opening the second window for Firefox to work. How do I reverse these conditions? Thank you for your help.

  • Notes - how do I get rid of the yellow pad look and get back to a plain white background?

    Someone thought this was a good idea to create a yellow pad look and handwritten note feel.  Someone who doesn't actually have to read back their text when they work.
    I changed the font to Helvetica, but I can't get rid of the lines.  With my eyesight, it makes it harder to read and find things in the note.  I really want a blank white screen as a background. 
    If you feel like you need to go all paper-cutesy, how about a white linen look and feel?  At least that wouldn't have lines running through the text and making me have to work a little harder to decipher the text.

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you're using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • How do I get rid of output.systems pop up and halt Safari?

    When I open Safari it goes to output.systems and a pop up window appears with what I consider an ad to call 1--866-560-5093 to get assistance.  I can't browse with Safari. How do I fix the problem.  I refuse to call a ph. number to get rid of the pop up with the ph. number in it.   I can't access Safari Preferences to turn off extensions.   I'm using iMac 3.06 GHz,  12 GB, 999 GB HD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.    I'm assuming I need to take all Safari software off and reinstall.  Please advise what you suggest to do.

    This is a scam, please don't call the number.
    1. Force Quit .
        Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.
        When Force Quit window appears, select  Safari if not already.
        Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.   Wait.
        Safari will quit.
    2. Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.
    3. Turn off wifi and turn it back on.
        Turn off Wifi. Click Wifi icon in the menu bar and select “Turn Wifi off”.
        Visit another website.
        You won’t have internet connection.
        Turn on Wifi. Click Wifi icon in the menu bar and select “Turn Wifi on”.
        Select your Network.
    4. Safari > Preferences > Security > Privacy

        Click “Details” button.

  • How can I get rid of Nation as my tool bar search engine.

    Greetings,
    I am extremely frustrated with Nation as my search engine on my Safari Web browser. Can someone please help me get rid of it? Here is a screen shot of what I see.  I would really appreciate any support.
    Thank you,
    Balde

    Why don't you just go into ~/Library and remove the add-ons, extensions, plists
    Look in Preferences, Safari, Application Support, and look turn off 3rd party extensions.
    If you don't want to delete, then move them aside.
    Also clone your system. CCC does not copy everything and also gives you the freedom to test and try and make any changes you want safely and freely. Sometimes you can't make changes on a live system. And Resetting Safari for one does not remove all the metadata and temp files it keeps.
    What other browser are you trying with? Firefox, Chrome, OmniWeb....
