how do i stop all the popups every bloody time i click my trackpad a bloody mackeeper or similar pops up

In addition to reply from Niel, some generalities
There are at least two schools of thought expressed by experienced users here in this Apple community regarding malware and popups.
One school primarily uses free application(s); the second school requires no additional software and just some simple steps on your part.
Read these (of many threads) discussions.

Hi covertwo,
Thank you for your question, I understand that you have an issue with pop ups. If it is for your pc please run a malware scan. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

How do I stop all the tabs from closing at once in Safari v 6.0.3?

How do I stop all the tabs from closing at once in Safari v 6.0.3?

Activate cycle mode, adjust cycle area as needed and export tracks as audio files, no?

Or cut globally at position 2min and 3min, then mute manually regions before and after the 2 - 3 minute range, bounce and get rid of the not needed silence in the audio.
Cheers!

How do I print all the open tabs in Photoshop, without clicking on each and printing manually?

How do I print all the open tabs in Photoshop, without clicking on each and printing manually?

If the song are part of an album, the album should have a cloud icon for downloading it in full. If they are separate tracks (not in the same album) you will have to download individually.

A lot of tabs loads and tells me there was a problem loading the page. How can I stop all the tabs loading because ist slows down Firefox.

When I open Firefox, a lot of tabs try to open at the same time. They all say Problem loading the page. It happened after I tried to download a owners manual for Harley Davidson motor cycles. How can I stop all but one tab from opening.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

How do I stop all the tab and pop-up adds?

Every time I click on something on the main tab, another one open with some type of add. Also, I want to stop all the pop-up adds. If this can't be done I will be uninstalling Firefox.

You also can check for an add-on causing this problem.
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs. Unless you know you can't live without it for 24 hours, disable it.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category 
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you see a link above an extension to restart Firefox, you can wait until you are done with your changes and then click that as the last step.

How to automatically close all the popups on application logout

Hello everybody,
I am a new member in the forum. I am facing a requirement in which when i click on the logout button of the application all the opened popups should be automatically closed.
Can anyone guide me in this regard.
thanks

Register a shutdown hook for each popup E.G.
           Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread()
                public void run()
                    // Code to close the popup
            });

How do I stop downloading the same podcast four times

How do I stop downloading eavh podcast four times Arums

First of all, that sounds like your computer is not secured from other users. Make sure to have the login page come up on startup and set a password for your computer to wake from sleep, etc.
In your Dictation & Speech panel, select the Text to Speech section and in the Voice drop-down, choose Customize...
In there find the voices that have been added to your listing and uncheck them. Hopefully, that will stop any further downloading.
The voice currently downloading is grayed out, meaning you can't stop it directly.
HOWEVER, if you find it in Activity Monitor you can. Open Activity Monitor and go to the Network tab.
Sort the activity by Received Bytes and your culprit should show at the top, with the name softwareupdates or something like that. Force quit that and you will get a notice that your voice download was interrupted. It will be unchecked in Dictation & Speech.
Hope this helps.

You can set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/toolkit.networkmanager.disable toolkit.networkmanager.disable] to true to see if that helps.
You can also create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false. 
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref. 
Name: network.manage-offline-status

How do I stop all the ads and popups when Adblock won't work?

I've been having trouble with Safari and Google Chrome, but of ads and popups. I downloaded an extension called Adblock, but it hasn't worked for me at all.
On my Macbook I can easily go on Safari or Google Chrome without any kind of popups, and now that I know, that Adblock doesn't work, doesn't work, I really don't know what to do. I've checked Preferences in Safari and in Security I have checkmarked the first three things saying:
Warn me when a fraudulent website is visited - checkmarked
Turn on JavaScript - checkmarked (if I don't checkmark it, I won't be able to check my bank account and stuff like that)
Block pop-ups - checkmarked
Please I beg of you, Apple or someone else help me.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

F
ix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How do I stop all the browser/HTML/menu text from appearing as numbered squares?

A couple weeks ago ALL text in my firefox browser started appearing as numbered squares. It's all HTML on the page, javascript popups, text fields, menus... everything. This did not happen after I did an update or anthing, it just happened partway through the day when I opened the browser window. I tried doing an update when I was prompted, which didn't help, and I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.

Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features. 
Filter: gfx
Some to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
* set gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
Try to disable hardware acceleration.

How can I stop all the messages in a thread opening when I only click on 1 of them?

I click to open a mail and the others in the thread also open. I only want to open one at a time. [I'm new to Thunderbird, I used to use Outlook Express. ]

re I click to open a mail and the others in the thread also open.
when you select to read an email which is part of a thread:
A single click on email will display it in the Message Pane below.
A double click will open in a new tab or window if you have this up.
A right click and select 'Open in conversation' will open a new tab showing all received and your sent responses in that thread as a list, which if you switch off the threading and choose sort by Date, will reorder the list.
What do mean by open?
Are you saying that several tabs or windows open all at once?
OR
Do you mean that you can see the email response in the Message Pane but below that email there is some more From,Sent, To, Subject headers and email content, which is what the sender was replying about.
If yes, that's because the person 'Replied' or 'forwarded' the email, so that it is part of the email.

How do I stop all the text being selected in the Google search box when I click in it? I just want the cursor to be placed where I click so I can edit the search field.

If I want to select the whole field I am happy to double click, or tab into the field. More often though I want to refine my search, or correct a spelling mistake.

Click twice to get the blinking cursor.
