How do you block pop ups that show on the side of the screens?

I recently purchased a new computer with the HD screen. Now I have different advertisements show on the side of the viewing screen and some actually cover part of the viewing screen. I do have the pop up blocker on for Mozilla Firefox. I did not have the problem with this issue on my old computer. How do I get rid of the advertisements from showing on the side of the screen, or showing up at all?

hello adamlybrand, you have various malicious addons present. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this wil keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

    It varies depending on the browser and browser version you're using. In Safari, click on the Safari menu and turn the block off; if that's not an option, choose Preferences and click on Security.

  • On an IMAC, how do you block other users id showing up on your wifi settings?

    On an IMAC,
    how do you block other users id showing up on your wifi network?

    Can you clarify what you mean?
    If you're seeing multiple wifi networks as well as yours, that's normal. It will display any networks within range. It doesn't mean you're connected to them or that they're on your network.

  • How do you turn your ipod touch on when the screen says connect to itunes?

    How do you turn your ipod touch on when the screen says connect to itunes?

    You connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes and restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter it or if iTunes does not see the iPod, manually placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • How do you get fontmetrics before displaying something on the screen?

    Let me ask in another way:
    how do you get fontmetrics before displaying something on the screen?
    Edited by: tjacobs01 on Aug 24, 2008 12:03 PM

    and you call getGraphics() it returns nullI learned to not use the getGraphics() method. Check out my posting here where I ask what the getGraphics() method is good for:

    Also, c.getFontMetrics(c.getFont()) will be an NPE because Font is initially null.Maybe I don't understand the question. The following works for me:
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Test
         public static void main(String args[])
              JTextField textField = new JTextField();
              System.out.println(textField.getFontMetrics(textField.getFont()));
    }Every question should have a SSCCE, so we don't have to guess.

    Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site.  This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue.  I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser. You can get more information about this by clicking here.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_ad

  • Mail, how can you remove an image that shows up in the header?

    I have no idea how this image got where it is, but I would like to remove it. When I open Mail, I see in the address area of the email as it displays in the message viewer, to the very right of that area, there is an image, that I have no idea how it got there or how to remove. The following is a link (I think) Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png ...... that shows what I am talking about. I have gone through my signatures and made sure that image isn't in there and it isn't. Please help, it is driving my husband nuts, we would love to change the image to his company logo if possible, but we don't know if that image even shows up when others receive email from us or not (we email ourselves and it is right there in the address header of the email). Thank you for your time and help.
    Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png

    Typically what shows up there is the address book picture for that contact. If they attach an image it will be added to the address book.
    So go to the contact in address book and change or delete the image.

  • HT1338 how do you unblock pop ups

    how do i configure my browser to allow pop ups?

    Assuming you're using Safari, go to Safari>Preferences...>Security. Uncheck the pop-up box. Or the pop-up option might just be in Safari menu (I forgot I haven't use Leopard for awhile).

  • How do I block pop ups on my MacBook Pro - Chrome Browser

    Last week I foolishly watched a stupid video on FB.
    Ever since I have been getting pop up on my Mac Book Pro.
    I use a chrome browser and have deleted all my history and cookies a few times and they still pop up.
    It was just one, some sort of pop up telling me I need an app to clean sweep my mac. It didn't look legit so I would always close it out. Now a different type is popping up.
    Help.

  • How do I get pop-ups to open in the same screen Firefox is on?

    I have 3 monitors at work for the 10-15 programs/windows I need open all day. The problem is that my normal work requires a pop-up from our company's ticketing system, hosted on a website. That pop-up always occurs on the upper left-hand corner of the main display while Firefox is open on the second display. ***I'd like it to open in front of the current Firefox window*** instead of on a completely different display. How can I achieve this?
    Before you say "Move Firefox to the main display", I'd like to add that I'm using Citrix for multiple other programs and it has the same annoying habit. I can't have them both on the same display since I need to see them both at once. I'm also trying to find a solution for Citrix doing this. Whichever app gets fixed first gets a home on the second display.

    Similar question posted Monday (unsolved): [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966422 How to open new windows on second monitor].
    That user's company policy preventing using new software to solve the problem. Do you have any restrictions on possible add-ons or utilities?

  • How can I print my entire draft message, instead of only the part of it that shows on the screen?

    I have drafted response to a message I received. I need a copy of the draft to show my associate, but my printer will only print the portion of the draft that can be seen on the screen at one time. I have not previously encountered this problem. What needs to be changed?

    Does your email site have a print button to format the page for printing? That often gives the best results.
    If this just started with Firefox 4, it could be related to a change in how strict Firefox is about a page's HTML code. To see whether this problem is caused by the new HTML5 parser, you can turn it off like this:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
    Then return to your mail site, reload the page, and test again. (Print Preview might be sufficient for testing.)
    Does that make any difference? If so, the site might not yet be fully compatible with Firefox 4 -- or you have found a bug in Firefox.
