How do I stop the Norton update Safari SafeWeb extension message

How do I stop the Norton update Safari SafeWeb extension message?
The Norton webpage does not open and the "Don't show this message again" box doesnot work.

Norton Antivirus (made by Symantec) has a very long and illustrious reputation for mangling Mac OS X systems, sometimes to the point where a complete reinstall is necessary. Among other things, it installs kernel extensions which are known to cause kernel panics and system freezes; it contains known and documented bugs which can silently corrupt Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign files, destroy a user's ability to authenticate as an administrator, and (on PPC systems) can cause Classic to stop functioning; and Symantec has on at least two occasions now released flawed .dat file updates which erroneously report certain critical Mac OS X files as "viruses." (Deleting these "viruses" causes damage to the system that in some cases renders it unbootable.)

  • HT2404 How can I stop the Software Update madness??

    I recently bought an Epson printer to replace my broken HP printer.  I uninstalled all the HP-related software, but I still am getting prodded by Software Update to update software I no longer have!  How can I stop the Software Update madness??

    There are literally thousands of sites with videos (linked to from yet thousands more) that will prompt you to "upgrade" or update your already updated Flash Player. This is the most common method of delivery for malware like that.
    A friend who runs a PC Repair business told me that if you've updated your Flash Player and you see a warning in a web page that you need to download an update to watch a video, it's an attack site.
    A simple gesture of holding your mouse over the warning or link, will indicate the address it points to. If it DOESN'T say Adobe anywhere in the beginning of the address (download.adobe.com, or adobe.com/downloads), it's a forgery, and you should leave that page immedaitely. If you download and install whatever they link you to, it may play the content you were looking for, but you've just been infected with something that may lay dormant for months and then suddenly take over your whole system.

  • How can I stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to 11.0.03?

    Can anyone help with how to stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to Reader 11.0.03? My antivirus advises the link in the pop up is unsafe, so I went to the Adobe website to update from Reader 9. The website doesn't offer X1, but did offer X, so I updated to 10.1.7.
    Why is the site not offering a download for X1?
    Even though I have updated to X I am still getting the pop ups for X1. I have attached a screen shot of the pop up - is this legitimate or some kind of scam carrying a virus?
    Thanks.

  • Hp split 13 X2 does not update to windows 8.1 how do I stop the auto update

    My notebook runs with Windows 8.0 and functions well.  Unfortunately the Windows OS want so to update to Windows 8.1 and my notebook does not accept the upgrade as it will not configure the change.  Even though I have set the Windows update to require my approval before updates are initiated it continues to auto update to Windows 8.1.  When the update fails my PC automatically reinstalls Windows 8.0 and I am back working again.  This has happened 3X in the last 2 months and I am frustrated.  Does anyone have any suggestion on how to stop this cycle?

    Hi @PDaley,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    I understand that you are having an issue with updating your Windows 8 to 8.1. Although you have set the update to require your approval before installing the update, it does it automatically.
    When the update fails it reverts back to Windows 8 and all is well.
    Here is a link to HP PCs - Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 that may help.
    You can also go to the  Windows Compatibility Center  that may also help to determine what is required for a successful upgrade.
    This one from MIcrosoft may also help.  Update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.
    Good Luck!

  • I am an online professor using Blackboard 9.1. Bb only works with Firefox 3.6 so I need to prevent Firefox from automatically updating. How do I stop the harassing update popups?

    I used to regularly update but I started experiencing problems with my online classes. Blackboard tech support said that your updates are not working so I had to uninstall and reinstall 3.6 and now everything works okay but I need to stop all the popups about updating.
    I already have it set so it asks first but I do not want to be asked.
    Thank you.
    Thank you. Patrizia

    You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

  • How do I stop the Software Update messages without updating my software?

    I keep getting Software Update messages asking me to update to Firefox 30.0 for a security and stability update. I do not wish to update any time soon, and I am tired of constantly getting these messages. The only two options I'm given is to "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox". When I hit the "Ask Later" button, the message keeps coming back very regularly. I don't want the message to keep coming back and I don't want to update. Is there a way to stop these messages from coming to me without actually updating?
    Thanks.

    Firefox updates only after every 6 weeks of stable version. Make sure it not malware.
    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:

  • I don't want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 - How do I stop the automtice update?

    I have Windows 8.1 and barely can use it.  I certainly don't want my pc disabled completely by Windows 8.1.

    GO to Control panel/ Windows Update .  It's the one before the last one in the list. Click on it. On the left side you will have "Change settings". Click on it and select "never check for updates" from the first list. That's it. 

  • HOW DO I STOP THE 3 UPDATE TABS FROM APPEARING EVERY TIME FIREFOX STARTS ???

    I have gone into the updating section of Options & UN-ticked thgem but the still appear every time !
    Using XP pro & FireFox 9.0.1

    Hi MadogM,
    Are you saying you always see the tab telling you that you've updated? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I stop the iOS6 update from downloading

    I am perfectly happy with iOS 5.5.1 on the 3GS, I do not want to use the latest iOS but apparently Apple leaves me no choice, right now I have the phone off, but if I boot it up it picks up the download where it left off, about 1/3 completed. Can I stop this from iTunes if I hook it up to the Mac?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Oops... I mean 5.1.1.

  • How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

    I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
    I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
    In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
    Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
    And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant
