How do I stop the fake "Adobe Reader out of date" hijack

In IE I will get a fake "Adobe Reader out of date" screen from newupdate24.com. The screen looks official. I clicked on the update message and got loaded up with virus and malware.
The IE phishing filter is enabled and has no effect.

I'm sure you're probably correct about that but, it's not a Reader or Adobe issue. You'll want to start searching around for a forum or support site that has folks that deal with this sort of thing. Good luck.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader but get the response:"Adobe reader out of date" Using Windows Vista and Opera browser

Anyone have this prob?

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

You can use these steps to disable the snippets on the about:home page:
* Set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page
* Open about:home page in a tab
* Open Web Console in this tab (Firefox menu button or Tools > Developer)
* Run this command via the command prompt: gSnippetsMap.clear()
* Close the tab with the about:home page
* Close and restart Firefox

How do I stop the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading after upgrading to ver. 6.0?

I upgraded from Firefox 3 point something or other (if I could remember exactly, I'd tell you) about 2 weeks ago to version 6.0. Thereafter, Firefox always starts up with two pages; one is a page declaring "Your Firefox is up to Date" and, on another tab, the default home page for Firefox. (the Google one)
It has continued to do that ever since, and I cannot find a way to stop the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading at start-up.
I'm running a pc with WinXP Professional w/Service pak 3.

A suggestion for stopping the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading at startup.
Use MozBackup for this; get it at http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/.
A good user friendly tutorial on it's use can be found at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2418/backup-your-mozilla-based-software-with-mozbackup/.
Download MozBackup and read through the howtogeek tutorial.
Exit Firefox.
Open MozBackup and start the procedure.
Follow the procedure except for a part where you RESTORE the profile; in the Components selection window in MozBackup, UNCHECK the "General settings" box (you remember the General tab in the Tools/Options window in Firefox where your homepage info is kept?)
Continue with the procedure to the end.
When you re-open Firefox, you should be getting the Google homepage without the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page.
Go to Tools/Options/Privacy tab. If it looks different than what it used to, ie: you used to have the option to not accept cookies, etc and now you don't, open the drop-down menu in the Hisory portion there and click on "Use custom settings for history", which will provide options for more control.

How do I disable the "some plugins are out of date" message

I am running firefox 3.6.3 on a powerpc mac laptop. There are no more upgrades to either firefox or any of the plugins it is using. It's a powerpc and the current updates of the plugins all require an intel based mac. I constantly get the message "some plugins used by this page are out of date" message above the screen, or Firefox disables plugins because it says they are a security risk. I don't care. This is an old computer that would work fine if Firefox would just stop trying to upgrade either itself or its plugins, or try to warn me about something that can't be upgraded and that I don't care about. MAC rule number one: The user is in charge. How do I fix this annoying and PC like feature?
In the future if Firefox is going to continue to have this "feature" it should keep track of what kind of computer it is running on and what what updates can and can not run on the computer it is running on, or give the user the option of turning off not only the messages but the whole plugin update function.

Quote: ''I'm not sure what you mean Address bar > Plugins ''
What is meant in to open the "Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" window (the about:addons page doesn't exist in Firefox 3.6.x)
You can inspect and modify some prefs on the about:config page to suppress the plugin reminder.
*set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin pref to true
*set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin pref to true

How do I get the system to print-out a date at the bottom of page?

When I am at a website and ask for a print-out of the page -
the current date and time of print-out no longer appears at the lower right corner of page.

I have resolved the problem. I will not use your time attempting to explain the process of elimination. However, the end result---
I had taken delivery of a new printer mid-January - it is a HP OfficeJet 6000 (E609) - I wondered if that might be the problem - since I could not ascertain exactly when the print-out problem had presented itself.
O.K. I logged on to the system and brought up the "Google" page to ask for a print-out. I checked for a print - and when the print box appeared I checked on "properties". That showed - to the left: "General Everyday Printing" and over to the right: Page size "A4 210 x 297mm" also the option "letter 8.5" x 11" and Legal 8.5" x 14" - so, I changed it to ask for the "letter - 8.5" x 11" - then I checked to "print" - I believe it was the "OK" - and the "Google: page was printed intact - showing the data generally associated with the top of the page and the date/time at the lower right.
I placed a telephone call the HP this morning to ask them about the "A4" option and was advised that it is a "standard size paper" - but could not explain under set of circumstances it would be applicable.
Hopefully, this data will be helpful to someone - thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.

RR,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

How do I stop the Adobe Popup when printing?

I am constantly creating PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. I create from multiple programs: Office Word, Excel, Paint, Etc. as well as AutoCADD. I create them using Adobe as a printer, thus printing to PDF. Once the PDF has been created from the other program via printing to Adobe, the new PDF file pops up for viewing. I am ok with this; however I then click onto another program and after a few second the PDF pops up again. Even if I close it a few seconds later it pops up again. When I am printing multiple sheets out of a program I am jumping back and forth and the popup feature slows me up big-time or causes me to mess up the files I am working with.
How do I stop the Adobe Popup?

That fixed the problem of the printing taking over the screen multiple times. I would like to have a solution where the finished file shows "PDF results" once, letting me know that the file has been created successfully, then let me get back to another program. Maybe this can be an upgrade with the next version.

It only asks once.
So it sounds like your preferences might not be getting saved for some reason (usually a permissions problem on your system)..

How do I stop the Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition ...

Every time I plug my N70 into my PC (Windows 2000), the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 starts, displays the images and clips on the phone and asks me to save them to my PC.

Hi GenKi,

First right click on the Adobe Photo Downloader, and then select disable. Think that should do the trick. Did that 2 months back, so I can't really recall well.
Hope this helps. Jya. ^_^
Hi,
I can't find the disable button. Can anybody help me?
Thx.

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.
