How do I get rid of sweetim

how do I get rid of sweetim which is linked to some type of competition scamming

Hello fraaboo,
Sweet IM can be uninstalled through the control panel, by going to 
1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Add / remove programs
From the add / remove programs look for anything that has Sweet IM in the name and remove. I have heard some reports of it also embedding itself within the browsers as well. Do you see Sweet IM information within your browser as well? If so what browser do you use?
If you are unable to find sweet im, knowing information such as what model computer you are using and what operating system will be beneficial as well.
If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

  • How to I get rid of SweetIM permanently and easily?

    Whenever I open Firefox, I get a tab that loads SweetIM. I have tried following SweetIM's own instructions to uninstall it but it is very complicated and doesn't seem to work in the long run. Is there a simple and permanent way to uninstall this extremely annoying programme?

    Did you check for extensions?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can do a search on the <b>about:config</b> page for sweetim and reset involved prefs via the right-click context menu to their default value.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

    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

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    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?

  • 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 <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
