How to get rid of ads that interfere with my use of a website

Whenever I go to Youtube and eBay, there are ads on both sides of the screen that interfere with my use of the websites. They hover over the play buttons and pictures. I thought these were part of the websites until someone told me that it doesn't happen on their computer and that it might be adware. This only happens on Youtube and eBay and they are physically part of the webpage, not a popup. How can I get rid of these? Running Snow Leopard and I use Firefox as my browser.

Here, to show you what I'm talking about. The ads on the sides don't actually show up until a few seconds after the page has loaded and it seems that they constantly refresh. On Facebook it does this too, but the ads don't actually interfere with my use of the site. However, it will redirect me to another site when I'm Facebook.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Need help!!! how to get rid of ads (pop under)

    i need help! does anyone know how to get rid of popunder ads! doesn't matter how...i just want them gone!

    The simple answer is to avoid the sort of trashy website that serves such ads. The complicated answer is to disable JavaScript when visiting those sites, or to install ad-blocking software such as GlimmerBlocker.

  • How to get rid of a binary file with firefox that pop up allthe time?

    each time that i open moxilla firefox a box asking if I want to save or cancel the binary file. I have tried to ignore ti however it has become a bother. How do I stop the box from popping up ?

    Hi
    if you mean http://db.tidbits.com/ - I didn't get any popups in a few minutes of browsing there, this without any blocking software. If you're seeing the very same ad popup window from differing sites, then it'd sure be worth looking at whether or not your mac or router or isp is using some rogue dns server.
    DNS - Domain Name System
    it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical (binary) identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the "phone book" for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, www.example.com translates to 192.0.32.10.
    to borrow from wiki.
    DNS servers can be chosen in your router or in your mac at System Preferences-Network-Advanced-DNS tab, If no special dns servers are selected, your router will usually accept the isp's suggestion, so you'll be using theirs, for better or for worse.
    The most common place for any 'rogue' dns to be set, is in System Preferences-Network-Advanced-DNS tab... look there on your mac, and see if any numbers are visible. Copy them & paste here, then we'll know what's going on.

  • After starting up a brand new 10.8.2 iMac it linked to an older iMac, 15 hrs later I have a duplicate screen of 10.6.8; how to get rid of all that down load and free up the new iMac?

    After starting up a brand new imac it down loaded off an older 10.6.8 running imac for 15 hiurs, now I have a duplicate of the older; how to dump all the older stuff and get my new imac?

    OK. Log into your migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate.
    Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account. Make it an Administrative account and name it whatever you want (but not the same as your current account) and set it up to login automatically. Log out of your current account and log into the new account. Now, select your migrated account and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the bottom option to delete immediately. DO NOT select the option to erase securely.
    Now, you can choose to migrate again from your old account but be more selective of what you migrate or you can simply copy over the data you want.

  • How to get rid of advertisements that appear on both the left and right of my web browsers

    Recently i noticed that when i open either Firefox or Safari, the page will load but a few seconds later, two identical ads appear on both sides of my browser and partially obstructing the webpage that i'm on... PLEASE HELP!
    this is what it looks like.... http://i43.tinypic.com/2q8aj9s.jpg

    Make sure 'block pop-ups' is selected in both browsers.

  • How to get rid of port number when you want use SJSAS as your production we

    Hi my question is rather simple. If I want use my computer as the web server backed by Sun Java System Application Server suite installed on the same machine, how can other internet users access my set domain without knowing my host port # (not typing :8080 after IP address)?
    thanks

    Tomcat is a webserver/servlet container combination. In that case, you make me wonder what you need the app server for.
    Anyway, the answer remains the same: read the manual or ask the support. There's a Sun App Server forum here.
    http://forum.sun.com/jive/category.jspa?categoryID=10 - but you''ll have to configure Tomcat.

  • How to get Original OS DVD That Came With MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I bought this MacBook Pro last year - I think I did not get a restore DVD with the OS etc. with it. Is there a way for me to get it from Apple?
    Thanks,
    Apurva

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

  • How to get rid of the ARRAffinity cookie with websites?

    In this
    forum post here it is explained that Azure websites use application and request routing (ARR) to keep a client (browser) always on the same VM instance.
    For my website sticky sessions are fatal for scaling and I need to make 100% sure that all subsequent requests from every client are equally distributed through all VM's. Some clients will make almost no additional requests, but some clients will do a hell
    of a lot of subsequent requests. Now the round robin distribution of only the initial request could (and mathematically eventually will) end up in a situation where the heavy load is sticky to a single VM.
    Of course I could add some JavaScript to my application to delete the ARRAffinity and the
    WAWebsiteID cookies set by ARR to make sure the delivered page looses it's stickyness. It would be re-added with every subsequent request and I would have to delete it every.single.time.over.and.over.again. This seems to be a non-optimal solution.
    It would be better, if I could disable this behaviour completely for my website. Is there a way to disable the VM stickyness in Azure Websites through ARR, or do I really have to manually delete the cookies after every single request?
    -- Sebastian P.R. Gingter

    You can disable ARRAfinity cookie by including this in your web.config:
    <system.webServer>
        <httpProtocol>
          <customHeaders>
            <add name="ARR-Disable-Session-Affinity" value="true"/>
          </customHeaders>
        </httpProtocol>
      </system.webServer>

    My Screen is suddenly Red with a SOLID Cap Word across the Screen called GHBORSEAI

    I still do not know the EXACT model MBA that you have.
    May I assume that you were able to turn your MBA off?
    May I assume that you turned it back on and got this red screen with GHBORSEAI displayed?
    Was there a chime when you started it up?
    Did it go through any of the 'normal' start up sequences?
    Try a SMC reset:
