How do I get rid of mywebsearch?

I want to get rid of this

Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
Double check for all Windows Updates.
Then, read [[Uninstalling add-ons|Uninstalling add-ons]], uninstall or disable all MyWebSearch Extensions, and other unneeded or unwanted extensions.
Go into Start, then Control Panel, then Add or Remove programs, uninstall MyWebSearch, Inbox Toolbar, Pricegong, etc. (not all of these may appear, but some may be there).
Then, you will have to reset your home page to what you want it to be. [[How to set the home page|How to set the home page]] can help.
finally, install this extension to reset your search to the default

How do i get rid of Mywebsearch which interupts my searches

This is a tab'd search apparently powered by google, but is a total pain and very much unwanted. I have done as they suggest add/remove mywebsearch but it has not gone.
The machine is running windows XP pro

This type of pest is usually installed along with software you download from the internet; generally free programs, but not always. Carefully watch for "extra" items that will be installed and un-check or opt-out of them.

How do i get rid of "my web search" as my default browser?

I downloaded a digital movie and it installed "MyWebSearch" as my default browser. I want Google as my default browser, how do I get rid of MyWebSearch PERMANENTLY?

First step is to disable all nonessential, recent, and unrecognized extensions here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If in doubt, disable it. Then restart Firefox.
To reset your search providers back to Google, you can use this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/
(If you prefer to do it manually, we can go over the steps.)
That should work for search, but if other settings are affected, such as your home page or new tab page, please post back on those.

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

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?

Just updated Firefox... the disk icon shows up on my desktop every time I open the application, as does a window telling me to put Firefox in my applications folder, which I've already done. How can I get rid of these? Thanks!

If you have not tried this already, try this.
System Preference > Notifications
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.

How do I get rid of the 1/16" space between my igoogle homepage and firefox ribbon?

I am currently running Firefox 4 and have igoogle set as my homepage. Both with the previous version of Firefox and with the new one I have about a 1/16 inch blue gap/space between the top of my igoogle homepage and the bottom of the Firefox ribbon/header. How do I get rid of this eyesore? It is only when I am on my igoogle homepage that this is a problem. All other pages are seamless.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
