How do I get rid of Lasoaren? Remove program etc. doesn't do it.

Somewhere I went afoul in updating (I thought) Firefox - It took me a while to realize that "Lasoaren" is not a Firefox entity. I went to remove program, which it appeared to do, but I can't get rid of it. Windows Essentials does not "see" it.
There are directions on the web as to how to get rid of it, but I'm afraid I might fall into a deeper hole if I follow directions from an unknown entity.
Input from this community will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello,
Please see:
* http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-lasaoren-com/
It is a good idea to exercise caution when following sites you aren't sure about. I always look through the steps from the sites to make sure that they use '''free''' and '''trusted''' tools to remove problems. MalwareTips in my experience has good instructions.
Another community you can search for solutions is the Microsoft Community (and they recommended the same link):

There are many fake pop-ups that will most likely infect you with malware if you let it install.
Only download Adobe updates from adobe.com or macromedia.com websites.

How can I get rid of a search engine that doesn't show up in my list of search engines?

I installed a toolbar from Inboxdollars and since then every time I search for something it uses as my search engine something associated wit yahoo called serp.freecause.com and then I get the "problem loading page" message because it can't find the server at that address.

I ran a complete scan with Norton Antivirus. Cleaned the Registry, history, temporary files and did a Virus Scan. It actually worked. I did not install anything to get this, but used an unprotected Wireless network and I think that/s how I picked it up.

Run ClamXav. It's a free virus checker. It should quarantine it.

hello jan, please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove the ''Addons Engine 3.0.1 & DataMask by AOL 5.6.0.8734'' entries (they are rather unusual and are likely malicious). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with different other security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

How can I get rid of Browser Highlighter? It doesn't show up in add-ons (either extensions or plugins), nor is it in Windows Vista program list.

Browser Highlighter updater box pops up every time computer is started & icon shows up in bottom toolbar. It doesn't show up in add-on list, nor windows programs to uninstall. I'm about to switch to another browser.

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/711023
if this does not work look if you find it in:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions '''and delete it'''
or try search the registry(but be careful) for the word "highlighter" '''and delete it'''
thank you

How do I get rid of "Startnow," which opens as my home page instead of google.

I got this virus when I tried to install VSL digital code to access a Netflix disc. Now, whenever I open my home page, Startnow comes up rather than google. How can I get rid of this malicious program and return to my original google homepage?????

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
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. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come 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.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
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.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Looks like you didn't uninstall; you just logged out. Go to the Windows Control Panel, Programs and Features (in Win7; may be different in your version of Windows). right click on each Adobe CC app you want to uninstall and select "uninstall". Then uninstall CC itself.

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.
