How do I uninstall a pirated version and load a good version from your site.

I thought that I was on an official Mozilla/Firefox website but apparently I was not. The FF I loaded immediately disabled pop-up control. Every second there were adds popping up from all sides. As fast as I got rid of them they reappeared. It looked like the program was taking over my computer. I ran my security scan and it did not find anything malicious on my computer. So I went back to IE which I hate and I have this bad version stuck on my computer. It will not delete in the control panel (which you probably already know!) So how do I scrub it away?

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • How do I uninstall the latest version of iTunes and go back to the previous version?

    That's my question:  How do I uninstall the latest version of iTunes and go back to the previous version?  I am running 10.6.8, I just uploaded this new "update" version of iTunes and I hate it.  I want the old one back.  How do I do that?

    If you are on Mavericks (your profile says different) and using Pages 5.0 you should have Pages 09 in the Applications > iWork 09 folder.

  • How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3?

    I am very frustrated using Pages 5.2.  It is not as easy to use as 5.2 and causes me all sorts of problems - especially when highlighting text.  How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3 which was much easier to use?

    Thanks. The new version of Pages and iMovie are useless to me. I need to delete the new version of Pages so my functional documents won't keep trying to "upgrade" to pages 5.2.  It annoys me to no end. I hope they smarten up soon.
    It seems that Apple is trying to turn its computer applications into iphone apps. They are eliminating essential features and functions that don't work on a 600 dollar pocket watch. It appears to be part of a misguided attempt to have universal cross-platform compatibility. Or they just want to get out of the computer business. I suspect that accountants are having too much influence on business models. There is a place for accountants. But giving too much control to bean counters can eliminate quality and cripple innovation, leading to the ultimate downfall of the corporation.

  • HT201364 how do I uninstall OS X Mavericks and revert back to OS mountain lion?

    how do I uninstall OS X Mavericks and revert back to OS mountain lion?

    You can't uninstall an OS X version. You would have to erase the drive and reinstall a prior OS version. That's why you should never upgrade without having a backup.
    However, just about any router in the world should work with Mavericks, without the need of any DVD supplied software.

  • How do i uninstall 10.9.2 and reinstall 10.9.1?

    how do i uninstall 10.9.2 and reinstall 10.9.1?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
