How to remove eprint from my computer

I want to remove eprint from my computer. I accidentally downloaded it and now I can't print anything! THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!!!

@eprintsucks
I am sorry to hear of the issues you had with our HP ePrint Software driver however the p1006 LaserJet printer is not supported with this software.
To uninstall this software:
1. Go to your control panel. (modern desk top or tiles screen and start typing control panel)
2. Go to Programs > uninstall a prggram
3. Locate HP ePrint Software
4. Click unstall, ether by right clicking on the the program or going to the top of the list and click unstall program
These steps should completely remove it from your system.

I do not want to utilize ADDONS but do not see how to remove them from my computer. Please advise.

I just do not want to utilize the program. Since accepting addons, my computer locks up, a pop up opens before I even see my browser page. I JUST DO NOT WANT TO MESS WITH THIS OPTION. I simply want to remove the option from my computer. Thank you. K

How to remove virus from words with friends?

Recently when I play words with friends the app opens up my safari browser to the following address but it is blank. "Cdn3.doubleverify.com". I downloaded all my apps from the App Store and I thought they were supposed to be "virus free".
Can anyone help on how to delete the pop up virus from my iPad 3 since it is very annoying
There are many others with other iPad versions that have the same issue.

Since the iPad is not suceptible to malware, the most it can do is be a little annoying. Words with friends may be attempting to redirect to an offer for the full version or something similar and is going to this page whcih doesn't really work as far as I can tell.
This is more an issue with their App, and possibly their Ad provider than anytihng else.
There's really nothing to be done other than complain to words with firends. Let them know on their own support forums so they may fix it.

How to remove Bing from my computer

Every time I use my search engine (which is set to Google as the default) it takes me to Bing. How do I remove Bing?

You may have installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
In the Applications folder, there may (or may not) be an application named "Genieo". Genieo may be partially installed even if this item is absent. If it's present, select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that the Version is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
Step 2
Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you didn't find the Genieo application, or if you couldn't complete Step 1 for any reason, stop here and ask for instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the attacker sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to download a fake "uninstaller." As he intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware, and is in fact malware itself.

How to Remove Outlook from My Computer

I have a MacBook Pro and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. For some reason, a popup window for Outlook is now on my desktop asking for a password to register my product. I don't want to use Outlook...don't need to use Outlook. I just want
this popup window closed and the Outlook software closed. However, the Outlook software is not allowing me to close it. In fact, there is no option to close it. The only option that I have is to register the product...and it's not allowing
me to exit out of that.
The bigger problem is that this popup window for Outlook is preventing me from shutting down my computer. Every time I try to shut down my computer, I get an error message saying that Microsoft Outlook will not allow the computer to shut down.
There is absolutely no way around this dang popup window and I want it gone.
I've tried going through every possible option on the Microsoft Office website, enter the product keys for my Office for Mac, everything and nothing will resolve the problem. Please help to fix this! Microsoft Office for Mac is an utter disaster
in every sense of the word...so much so that I will never buy another Mac. However, this computer is less than one year old and is now essentially useless because the Microsoft Outlook has essentially prohibited me from doing various things with my computer...and
I don't want or need Outlook. I just want it gone...but it has prohibited me from uninstalling it on my computer because it is frozen "in use" in this ridiculous pop up window!!!

You should really post this question in the forum dedicated to Office for Mac which will likely result in a much faster/better answer since this forum is for Windows based Outlook.

How can I remove malware from my computer?

I can't go to google mail page. I can't search words with any browser because nothing happen. I think it is malware. I tried spy bot-SD. But no result. Please tel me how can remove malware from my computer.

Try running malwarebytes, if that doesn't work.
Simply restore your system to the checkpoint before this happened. It's easy, On Windows 7, I just had to do it to get rid of the rogue program 'Antimalware Doctor'. Go to Start > ALL Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore click next and select the restore point prior to the time the infection occurred. Mine took only 5-7 minutes to run.
If you don't have Windows 7, you still can get to the System Restore by finding the location of your Accessories, normally System Restore is under this.

How to remove virus, malware from mac?

please help i used an website that later that had phishing activity and virus , today my friends said they received emails with files on it
HOW DO I REMOVE THIS VIRUSES FROM MY COMPUTER ????
PLEASE HELP

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

Babylon addon installed without my consent. I want to completely remove it from my computer, but how ?

I was trying to take a download but MediaGet and Babylon appeared to self install. I have removed most of these but the
Babylon addon can only be disabled. I wish to remove it from the computer altogether, and cannot see how.

Thanks for that, but after I tried it I still had files and a folder on my system which linked to Babylon. Eventually I had to search the registry, which I am never happy about. It is all cleared now.
Incidentally I do use Revo Uninstaller which usually does a great job.

How do you remove mackeeper from your computer

Does anyone know how to remove Mackeeper from your Mac?

"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
First, back up all data.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.
☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.
