How do I make sure all the damage is cleaned up from the PricePeep virus found at my c:....Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\mxqsa88f.default\searchplugins\search.xml?

I used the SpyHunter 4 free scan to locate 2 files that were being hijacked by the virus. I was able to remove the first file from the add-on file in Firefox. I know I can uninstall Firefox, then reinstall it, but how can I tell if the virus has damaged other files on my computer? Thank you! I currently use Norton, spybot and adaware. Thanks.

Which files do you see in that folder?
*Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\mxqsa88f.default\searchplugins\
This folder stores user installed search engines and if you haven't installed ones yourself the this folder should be empty and you can remove (delete) existing files.
You can delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone.  That's relatively easy.  Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one.  For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

    Yes, that's for network backups only. 
    What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
    You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
    You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
    You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea).  See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

  • I purchased three albums last week and only two of them were charged.   How can I make sure that the third album gets charged in a timely fashion?

    Well, thanks for feeling with me, patkosanke ... AND for your wise advice.
    I did followed your advice immediately and erased all the service number as well as S/Ns.
    Can you, however, give me any "direct number" through which I can get hold of someone and request for what you're suggesting?
    I believe I had talked with the person by the name of "Charlie" (I think... I hope I'm correct...) when I was having the same problem with the last device. He was very kind and helpful, though I ended up getting the device that brought the same problem.
    Charlie told me that if I had any more problems I should call him. But I forgot to take down his direct number.
    Or maybe I should call the main office and ask for him. But my memory is questionable as to his name, and besides I don't even know his last name either. There could be more than one "Charlies" in Palm.
    So, if you could somehow email me some direct number (other than the one that keeps on hooking me up with those people in the overseas who are answering the phone only to sympathize with & apologize to me but can only issue a false hope with the SRO#. More than once I was given the promise that the supervisor would call me back within an hour or two but I ended up calling back after I had been left hanging in the air all night long.) where I can talk to someone like I did with Charlie last time who can truly carry out the promise, I would truly appreciate it, patkosanke. ^^
    Thanks

  • Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

  • I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
    I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.

  • Firefox is creating endless copies of C:\Documents and Settings\Catain Kirk\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\afbrfhnj.default\Cache ... how do I stop it

    I just installed 9.0.1 and it continually creates copies of C:\Documents and Settings\Catain Kirk\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\afbrfhnj.default\Cache ... how do I stop it !!!
    I'm running Windows XP Version 5.1 SP3.

    Hi,
    That is the disk cache of Firefox, where contents of loaded pages are kept for faster retrieval and it also helps to conserve bandwidth. To disable this: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''', check (tick) '''Override automatic cache management ''' and put the value at zero.

  • How do I locate 5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01 and what does it mean?

    I am just wondering how I can locate this ~5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01~ what is it and what are profiles...on mozilla I have someone remotly doing things to my computer I didn't sign up for,

    1. This is where your main Profile folder is located:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    2. Secondary location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Local Settings\Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    No, don't delete that folder or the files in it. Those files would be re-created the next time you open Firefox. Those files are necessary.
    3. Firefox put that file there, so it knows its' there. Delete it and Firefox will download that data all over again, and put it back in that folder.
    4. Bookmarks are stored in the '''places.sqlite''' file in the main Profile folder, since the Firefox 3 versions.
    Some of those files have been moved around from one major version of Firefox to the next to improve various aspects of "performance" and also to minimize file size for automated personal data backup purposes & for roaming Profiles in a large network setting. The urlclassifier file can get to be quite large, which could really screw-up roaming Profiles on a network server.

  • HT1751 Not all the music I have in Itunes is in the Itunes library, how do I make sure all is there to transfer to new computer

    I am trying to move my Itunes Library to a different computer. When I put the Itunes library onto the external hard drive it only had a portion of the songs. Alot did not copy over. How do I make sure that all the songs in Itunes are in the Itunes Library stored on my computer?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How can i make sure all of the files in my music file are on my itunes??

    I copied all of my itunes music via usb drive (crappy process) onto my mac in my music folder.. but it too several times due to the small size of the usb drive.. anyways..
    When you add music to your music folder.. it doesn't go onto your itunes playlist until you choose that specific song..
    can itunes perform a search to make sure you have a copy of every music file on your itunes?

    iTunes menu File -> Add to library and select the \Music\iTunes\iTunes music\ folder.
    FYI: If you are using iTunes 9, go to \Music\iTunes\iTunes media\ folder.
    Make an alias on the desktop of the *Automatically add to iTunes* folder. Then drag songs to the is folder and they will automatically get added to iTunes and moved to the correct folder.

  • How do I make sure all pics on iPhoto are in my back up drive?

    I'm bad at computer so take this slow and thank you for your help!
    I have a iMac 24" dual core thing. I have an external 1tb hard drive that's labeled "my back up photos". In reality, I "think/want" all my photos stored only on that back up and not on my computer. I have a LOT of photos and don't want to chew up my computer's memory/speed/whatever by overloading it with pics. I've got 23,000 pics and 74GB of space used for them. Not sure how big that is but I think it's sizable. Anyway...I can't remember how/where to tell the iMac whenever I plug in my photos and download them in iPhoto to have them stored on the external and pull from there when running.
    I hope that makes sense. I think this is an easy question?? any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Note: This is now your Library. It's not a Back Up, and you need another disk for backing up.
    Regards
    TD

  • When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small.  Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

    When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books.  I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened.  Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto.  Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

    Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

  • Thank you for the virus included in the Mozzella Firefox Download it shows you really care. "\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\fajy3yg3.default\Cache\2\1A\D0454d01"

    a free download from your websiter

    Let me guess you used a antivirus scanner to scan the computer and it found something in the harmless Cache and made you think you were infected.
    This is not a Firefox browser failing or Mozilla's doing. The Cache well caches things as you browse the the internet. Also Mozilla has never included any form of virus, trojan maleware or such in a Firefox download as otherwise it would have been all over various tech news then.
    The Cache is not vulnerable like the IE temp files can be as viruses and trojans and such are completely harmless while sitting in Cache until either you clear or delete the Cache or it gets bumped out as Cache continues to Cache stuff.
    Just clear the Cache and scan again.

  • How to make sure all the apex pages open up in new tab (or) new windows ?

    - Lets say I create an Apex application in 4.0.2 with 10 pages.
    - Now I wanted to check if there is some property in the Apex Admin or some settings which control this:
    1) anything you click on application, either a page,field- it needs to open in a new tab in the same browser
    2) anything you click on application, either a page,field- it needs to open in a new browser window

    >
    1) anything you click on application, either a page,field- it needs to open in a new tab in the same browser
    2) anything you click on application, either a page,field- it needs to open in a new browser window
    >
    I normally say that 98% of questions asked here have been asked (and answered) before, but I think this is a new one...
    What needs to open in a new tab/window? The target APEX page? It would be interesting to hear the reasoning behind this.
    If this is referring to each page view, as Matt points out there are a number of technical reasons in both browsers and APEX that would make this difficult to achieve. However these are dwarfed by usability and accessibility concerns. Using such a UI model would drive most users insane in short order. More seriously it would confuse infrequent users and users with learning disabilities, and present significant orientation and navigation problems for visually impaired users and people using assistive navigation technologies.
