  • How do i get rid of popups?

    I am having MacKeeper popup on my browser every time a new tab opens practically. Tune Up my Mac is also coming up occasionally as well as something called Mac Booster (I think?). I have notifications saying "congratulations you're a winner" and other spam of that sort and I have already moved all of the extensions on my google chrome setting and I am just not sure how to stop these but they are actually driving me insane. I'm not all techy so step by step "for dummies" would be most helpful.
    Thanks in advance!

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How do I get rid of popups like Mackeeper?

    I just got a new Mac Book Pro (Yosemite) with retina and its been working great; however, in the past week I have been getting a ton of popups and new tabs opening while I am using the Internet. The problem is in BOTH Safari and Chrome and it is starting to get really annoying. I have adblocker in chrome and it works great with ads and such and I have the popup blocker turned on in both browsers, but they still appear. Is there a way to stop all of these popups? And I'd prefer a pretty permanent solution so that I don't have to fix it every week. Thanks in advance!

  • 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.

  • How do i get rid of low disk space message popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc

    How do i get rid of low disk space message ( you are running out of disk space on Hp_Tools (E popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc.  It is very annoying.  I am i school and I have noticed it since downloading different assignments from my college black boards.

    Thanks Banhien for your quick response.  However my system shows no backup schedule to disable.  I do have a 'Manage Space" link and a Turn on schedule link and change settings link along with Restore options with 3 options-' restore all user files- select another backup to restore files from and recover system settings on your computer.   If I click on 'Manage Space link',  it gives me the option to 'Select how disk space is used by Windows back up'- then there are two options:  'data file backup'-which indicates i can free up space by deleting file backups, and the other option is 'system image' which is greyed out.  Upon clicking on the option (view backups) under 'data file backup option'- it shows the current data file backups on my hp_tools (e the date of the file is displayed and the amount of usage- it gives me the option to delete- should I click the delete button?

    Hi,
    Please try:
    Click Start, type "Backup and Restore," and press Enter.  This brings up Windows Backup which is a little different than system protection.
    In the middle of the Window you should see that the backup is on a schedule.  Disable this.
    Save your changes.
    Delete the backup folder on the E:
    Reboot notebook and verify that this resolves the issue.

    Unfortunately, it's malware but easy to delete from the hard drive.

  • Safari Warning popup screen (red page).  Is this a virus?  How do I get rid of it??

    Safari Warning popup screen (red page).  Is this a virus?  How do I get rid of it??

    It's probably not malware, but rather a Web scam that only affects your browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

    In that case, you have the Downlite (aka VSearch, aka DynamicPricer) adware installed at a minimum. See:

    How do I get rid of adobe's "improve our products" popup window which keeps freezing CS6?

    In theory it would have to come up at least once and then you could choose yes/no. You can also choose that when you install it, so try to reinstall to put the respective configuration in place.

  • How do I get rid of annoying popups

    My husband uses the IPad to read and play card games. How do we get rid of those annoying pop up ads while he's playing cards.  Specifically Hearts and Solitaire.  Pop ups will appear when dealing another hand.  Sometimes the entire screen goes black except for one tiny little x that we have to click numerous times before the fame comes back.  he really gets frustrated and i cant help him.  Any suggestions?

    I don't play hearts, but I do play Solebon Solitaire. I play the iPhone version on my iPad, but I see that they have a pro version for the iPad.
    http://www.solebon.com/
    probably didn't buy it cause I already had one. Anyway, lots of games, actually programmed so that you can win every once in a while. I really like it.
    For Hearts, I'd look at reviews and ratings. That often gives you an indication if the app is any good or not.

    i have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it,, i have iphone 5

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.
