How do I get rid of internet explorer on my laptop
I am so done with microsoft, hotmail and i.e.
How do I get rid of internet explorer?
The Microsoft/Windows Update site requires IE to get your monthly updates from Microsoft. So how do you plan to get your monthly updates for Windows without IE?
Even with the Add-ons for Firefox that allow you to open an IE tab in Firefox, you must have IE installed on your system.

How do I get rid of internet pages restrictions on...
I have a Nokia 2630 and just applied a free-to-try option that gives 30 days free internet for the mobile phone. The bad thing is that I can't open some pages on the net.... It gives me a restriction that says the page was restricted because my profile is a minor profile. Though, I'm not able to get my profile to be adult because I need to be 18 years old, and I'm 16... This is not about porn sites restriction in any way....... It doesn't even allow me to open Facebook.com (or other popular websites)! And some more sites that I used to visit...... Now I got rid of this. How? I use Opera Mini now. Everytime I use it to open a page that was actually restricted for Nokia's browser it works! But there's one more thing, and that is that I can't download anything from the restricted sites because whenever I click download Opera Mini closes and then the nokia's integrated browser opens in order to download anything...
How do I get rid of this? Is there any trick/hack that can get over these restrictions?
ThanksYou need to contact your network operator. It is them that are imposing the restrictions, not the phone or web browser. Because of the different was that opera works it can get around some restrictions.
The opera browser on that phone doesn't support downloading, thats why it opens them using the default browser. -
How do I get rid of Internet Connection reminder, please?
Every 30 minutes I am asked if I want to stay connected to the Internet.
Yes - I do, otherwise I'd disconnect.
How do I get rid of this please?
I'm using Safari and I've searched vigorously through every preference I can find.
This is particularly annoying when I've started a download as I think the thing disconnects after two minutes of an unanswered prompt.
Sorry if this has been dealt with elsewhere (I have looked).Try the instructions in this FAQ if they are applicable to your configuration and you haven't already done so.

I want to download Mozilla Firefox as an optional browser as I can only access a website for work through this browser. However, when I downloaded MF, even though I tick that I do not want it as my default browser or homepage, it downloads, but has removed my Internet Explorer connection. This has happened a couple of times now and is very frustrating. I don't know how to get my IE back and keep the option of MF available. MF seems to automatically delete/remove IE when it is downloaded. I am using Windows 8. I would appreciate help and advice to correct this situation. Many thanks.
Hi, Philipp,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply and support. The IE icon disappeared immediately after I downloaded MF. I tried to download IE again but without success. In the end all my icons on my start page disappeared, although I do not think this was to do with MF. I had to resort to restoring my lap top to factory settings for the umpteenth time and I have now got IE back but no MF. I will keep your advice and will try again when I am feeling brave enough and have sufficient time to try and download MF again. I am not confident with technical problems and greatly appreciate your help and support.
Kind regards, K. -
How do I get rid of Adware from a Mac laptop with OS 10.6.8
I have adware on my Mac Laptop that has OS 10.6.8 operating system.
AdMedic needs 10.7 or later.
I am looking at The Safe Mac website for answers.
Any others I should visit?stedman1 wrote:

Unfortunately you need OS X 10.7 (Lion) or above to use AdMedic or it's successor today AdwareMedic. Best bet today for Snow Leopard users would be to use the older Adware Removal Tool from the same author, but he's not planning to update it in the future. -

How do I get rid of excessive pop up ads? When on the internet they always pop up. I think I have a virus.
You probably have some kind of adware installed, assuming that your Mac is not actually running OS 9 or earlier (systems that date back to the 90s). I'm assuming that the forum choice was an error, as I doubt such an old system would even be capable of properly displaying modern websites. What version of Mac OS are you actually running? (Go to the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.)
Assuming you're actually running some version of Mac OS X, see my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing the adware.

I switched from att to charter internet and change e-mail address. I keep getting messages telling me my at&t iCloud account is not connected. How do I get rid of the at&t iCloud message?
Hi adamsfly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I have tried to get rid of an internet service provider named "Cisco" that keeps blocking me from getting on the internet. I have no idea how "Cisco" is doing this. I have only one internet service provider that is Not "Cisco" . "Cisco" keeps coming up on the screen to sign in with a password which of course I do not know and do not want. I went into Safari preference to change the settings and found 2 that I do not want. I thought I had gotten rid of this "link sys" but keeps returning and shows that it is locked. How do I get rid of these in my Safari preferences without a password to them. I only want the one internet service provider that I have to be there and not the other two. Thank you so much.
That is the login into the router itself. Most routers, in order to set them up the first time or after a reset or power fail, have this login procedure. You connect to the router login and configure the settings for your use.
Is this a new router or has it been recently reset in some way? As was written above if the router was provided by your isp then contact them for the setup procedures.
If the router is yours (or someone else's in your household) you need to look at the manual that came with it or go to manufactures website for instructions on how to set it up.

hi i was just wondering how do i get rid of viruses?! Everytime i go on safari my computer goes all weird and starts to pop up with other internet sites without me even typing it in. My arrow also starts to click on all things that i didn't even click on and opens up apps that i didn't want?!
There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not be applicable.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check for unknown or forgotten input devices. Disconnect any USB input devices that you aren't using.
3. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested. -
when opening safari i get a message that says major security issue please contact apple immediately suspicious activity might have been detected. what is this and how do i get rid of it so i can use my internet?
A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.
