How do I remove the add by vidxo

I clicked on a link while using firefox, I'm usually extremely careful about what I click on, and as soon as I clicked the link I wanted, a different window popped up and it was some sort of mac keeper or cleaner. I clicked the 'X' but that sent me to some sort of genieo and ever since, I get these vidxo pop ups only when I'm in firefox and I can't get rid of genieo. I went through the manual process of removing genieo and that won't go away either. I also removed firefox, rebooted, installed firefox but that did not work. Infact, I don't think firefox really was uninstalled because if it was, how did it remember my customized home pages.
Please assist.

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

How do I remove the "Add Page on my screen?

how do I remove the "Add Page" on my screen?

I do not understand what you are seeing. Can you post a screen shot?

Firefox crashes as soon as I open it, it stays open long enough to see that a bogus toolbar was added on and I suspect that's the source of the problem, but how can I remove the add-on if I can't get FF to stay open long enough to get to the tool bar?

I downloaded Vuze last night and I think it must have installed some malware because firefox hasn't worked since and a Vuze tool bar has made its way into the browser. I am running a malware scanner but its not coming up with anything. Is there any way to manually delete add-ons or plug-ins or whatever they are without being in the program itself? Thanks!

I don't have a good sense of what is going wrong.
Was Firefox stable in step 3 -- open with no sessionstore.js file and then exit?
If that was stable, it might be easiest to cull the open URLs from your sessionstore.js file and re-open the most important ones manually. You will lose the ''detail'' of your session on those pages (e.g., data you had entered into a form), but if that's okay, it might be the next step.
I found a script on mozillaZine that will extract URLs from the sessionstore.js file; I just changed the formatting of the output. To run the script:
(1) Return to your profile folder and rename sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old again, then copy it to a convenient location
(2) Start Firefox (it should be in a new session)
(3) Open the following link, select all (Ctrl+a), copy (Ctrl+c) to copy the script to the clipboard: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/sessionstore_reader.txt
(4) Open the <s>Error Console</s> Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j), click next to <s>Code</s> the caret (>>) and paste, then press Enter <s>or click Evaluate</s>
(5) A file selection window should appear. Navigate to the convenient location and open sessionstore.old from there.
(6) As long as the file is not corrupted, a new tab should open with a list of all the URLs the script found in the file. You can save this page for future reference if desired. Also, you can close the <s>Error</s> Browser Console now.

How can I remove the add-on called AniWeather?

Sorry, I said earlier that this was a Firefox add on, but I think it is a Google add on.

Please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.

How do I remove the (-signed) which Adobe adds to the end of the document name after having signed it?

Hi there,
How do I remove the (-signed) which Adobe adds to the end of the document name after having signed it?
It is not convenient to remove it every time I sign a document. So, is there a way to turn this off?
Thank you

I think you cannot, because for many people it is so important to keep the unsigned document, and most do not realise this until it is too late.

HT3702 how can i remove the authorization hold from my card...

how can i remove the authorization hold from my card

You can try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store
How much was the amount ? A 'normal' holding charge is a small amount (e.g. equivalent to about $1), and usually happens after you add or change credit card details on your account. Here in the UK it can take a few working days for it to disappear (so a weekend can extend the elapsed time).
Edit : I don't know what a non-liability certificate is and/or whether Apple can do one.

How can i remove the special characters from my keyboard on my iphone3gs

how can i remove the special character from my keybord keys on my iphone 3gs

What characters are you talking about exactly and why would you want to remove any?
There is really no way to modify Apple's keyboards or add your own in iOS, but there are some apps that may provide a work around.

How can I remove the SCCM 2012 client and reinstall SCCM 2007 client on all of our computers

Hello All
We have bit of a problem. Our virtual SCCM 2012 r2 server was deleted and the back solution we had in place keeps failing.
We do have our sccm 2007 server still in place but its only role was imaging as we transferred roles from one to another.
My question is now our support needs to remote into pcs but cant because the CM12 server is gone. How can I remove the 2012 client from all of our companies computers and reinstall the CM07 client so we can remote into computers again.
Thanks in advance!
Phil

Run a ccmsetup /uninstall on the clients. You may need to run via PSExec. Then push out the SCCM 2007 client via the 2k7 console.
Cheers

Thanks Paul!
I have to do this on over 350 computers and 110 servers. How can I do it on a more massive scale?
Phil Balderos
I would check Torsten's approach first and see if the ccmsetup will uninstall the 2012 version. I'm not sure. Obviously the other way round is fine.
Using PSexec you can script this to call up a txt file of all your servers/computers and run the uninstall.
e.g.
for /f "tokens=*" %a in (computers.txt) do psexec \\%a %WINDIR%\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall
If your account has privileges on all devices you won't need to add in any username/password credentials. Obviously only devices that are switched on and you have access to will run this.

How do I remove the music in my iphone?

How do I remove the music in my iphone?

Since there is IOS 7.0 , deleting music like you guys are describing in not possible anymore.
The only way to delete music completely, is to sync. with Itunes on your PC/Mac.
Then you can remove or add music to your liking.
I discovered this short after installing 7.01, when my Iphone 4s was completely full with pictures and music.

How can I stop the Add-on Bar from appearing everytime a new tab or window is opened?

I close it each time, and I have also removed it by unchecking it in the toolbar (or similar) menu. However, it always reappears whenever I open a new tab or re-open Firefox. How can I get rid of it unless I choose for it to become present again?

Right-click the "+" tab and deselect the Add-on Bar entry tick. The Add-on Bar should then disappear for the remainder of the session but will reappear when you restart Firefox. If you want to permanently remove the Add-on Bar then a different approach must be used, using a modified userChrome.css file.

How do I remove the background from a movie / sound problems

Apologies, not really sure what I’m doing…
How do I remove the background from a movie I made?
I imported a QT movie at 368/272 pixels, but for whatever
reason the HTML jumps up to 550/400.
The movie is still 368/272 but there is a background border
making it 550/400. Tried all sorts of settings in Publish but
can’t get rid of it. Can I keep the movie (and controller)
and not the background?
I can get round it by changing the background colour, but
surely there must be another way.
Also: My QT file was fine but the .flv has a stuttering
sound, any idea what could cause that?
Thanks, and Thanks!

If you want to remove a background and add a new one Photoshop Element for Mac makes it rather easy to do:

Pages 5.2 How do I remove the fields in the header and footer?

I need to add objects and footers that are longer than the field dividers allow in the header and footer of my document. How do I remove the field divisions?

You can't remove the dividers in Pages 5.
They don't exist in Pages '09.
On the Mac you can simply keep typing and the text crosses the dividers.
A quick test on my iPod touch suggests the same on iOS.

How can I remove the default right click option of the text Area control?

How can I remove the default right click option of the text Area control?
Is there any way to disable this control in any of the text controls available?

The iPhone does not store email addresses for received mail. The iPhone stores all email addressees for sent mail in a list of previous recipients. The list of previous recipients is not synced with Outlook or any address book, but the list of previous recipients is included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The auto-addrss feature pulls from your contacts on the iPhone and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail.app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients on the iPhone to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the existing list at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
Hopefully access to the list of previous recipients will be included with the iOS 5 update.

I'm having trouble with a toolbar called searchqu that I do not remember installing, it will not allow me to have MSN as my homepage, I removed the add on but still have the problem. Thoughts?

had an add on installed somehow called searchqu. It will not allow me to have msn as my home page. I removed the add on and still have the same trouble.

Hi!
My name is John and I'm a member of the Searchqu support team, I'm here to assist! :)
When a software was installs onto your pc it offered two basic installs, typical installation, which lists the add-on features such as searchqu default search, and Custom installation, which allows you to select the add-ons that you wish to install. There's no need to worry if you did the typical install - this isn't a virus,
nor malware, and there's no need to Perform a virus scan against it.
In order to change Searchqu as your homepage please check the following: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
