How do I stop being redirected to nonsense sites when I'm trying to access a unique site like United Airlines?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • How do I stop being redirected to " my filestore"

    I have been using linux mint for a week or so. I am sometimes getting re-directed
    to something called "my filestore". HP media cenetr PC dual booting windows untill
    I get used to Linux. Have done some searching on the forums and havn't found much
    about this problem, is this new? Is it a virus or malware?
    Thanks to anyone that can help

    I notice you have an extension named "Mint Search Enhancer 1.0". Could that be a factor here? You could disable it on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * Tools menu > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions.
    If this problem only occurs when you enter a one-word search in the address bar, it could be a different problem. Firefox sends your one-word queries to your DNS service provider (usually your ISP) to see whether they are valid network host names (e.g., intranet as the name of an internal server or mo.money.now as an internet domain name). Some DNS service providers, instead of saying "no such server" so Firefox sends it to Google will instead point Firefox to their own results page.

  • How can I stop being harrased for keychain passwords

    How can I stop being harassed for keychain passwords?  All my key chain passwords and my login are the same. I am asked for address book, calendar, safari, mail, iMessage, just to name a few.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them!

    How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them! Every morning I boot up and all my desktop items have been moved. How can I stop this?
    By the way - Lion is the worst 'upgrade' ever.

    Hello again:
    I've been to 'view' - and all I can see are the same options as before. Nothing which says the equivalent of 'stop Lion tidying my desktop alphabetically every time I boot up' - alas.
    Hmmm.  Try something:
    Trash a preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart.  Then go to the view option while in Finder.  There should be a "show view options."  Select that and sort by "none."
    FWIW, I have had no discernable change in speed under OS X 10.7, but that is just my system.  I only use Adobe's free stuff.  Have you checked with Adobe to see if there are updates available?  I rarely use text edit so I have no benchmark.  I don't like the missing save as either  
    Barry
    P.S.  I am not being contrary - I just like to learn from the experiences of others. 

  • How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

    How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

  • How do I stop AE from changing my workspace when loading a project?

    How do I stop AE from changing my workspace when loading a project?  I've looked everywhere and can't find it.  I work on a lot of projects that a peer works on and his screen size is smaller and his workspace is different than mine.  Is there a setting I can change so that when I open one of his projects my AE window doesn't change?

    No. That behavior is intended. The problem is probably that your colleague uses the "Standard" workspace in a custom configuration and since it is matched by name, it emsses up your "Standard" workspace as well. Therefore advise your colleague to create his own workspace with a custom name and/or create your own custom workspace to be able to more quickly reset things.

  • How do I stop my iPhoto from "quitting unexpectedly" when I try to import photos?

    How do I stop my iPhoto from "quitting unexpectedly" when I try to import photos?
    Whenever I try to import photos to iPhoto or even just edit photos on iPhoto, iPhoto quits unexpectedly.
    When I import a photo, before it is finished, iPhoto closes, and a message comes that says "iPhoto quit unexpectedly"
    What should I do?  How can I import my photos now? Please help!

    I have found if you iTunes open while importing photos to iPhoto it will quit unexpectedly - try closing iTunes. Also, try selecting and importing 100 or fewer photos per import...seems like it quits more often when trying to transfer large quantities (like over 200 photos).
    I wish Apple would update iPhoto with the same auto-sync feature in iTunes so I could sync photo libraries between computers without trying to figure out which ones are new (although as of this posting the other option is purchasing a 3d party photo sync program).

    How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

    Nevermind, I fixed it (I think).  I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically).  I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

  • How can I stop Firefox autofilling my email address when I log onto hotmail?

    How do I stop Firefox autofilling my email address when I log onto hotmail?

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

  • How stop being redirected/hijacked by a different wifi network whenever I log in?

    As I stated, I was not replying to the original post. I made very clear, with a quote, to what I was replying. If auburnskys has an issue with my correcting their misinformation, they are free to comment.
    but the chances of having the same mail account on a device clearly being used by another person is EXTREMELY unlikely.`
    No, it's not unlikely at all, I see it quite frequently. Though I would never consider sharing an email account with someone else, many people (often couples or families) do.
