How to get rid of an ad frozen on a screen

An ad of sorts came up on a screen I was using and I cannot get rid of it, nor move to the next screen of the site.  Every time I close the tab and then go back to it the same ad comes up.  Even shutting down the computer and then restarting does not help.

Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

  • How to get rid of Veriface Icon at Log In Screen

    When I boot up my Yoga2Pro in Windows 8.1, I get the sign in screen to enter my four-digit Pin. If I hit the left arrow, I go to a screen which has my "guest" account and then a Veriface Icon. 
    Is this the normal default?  I don't remember the Veriface Icon being there before, or maybe I just didn't notice.
    Is there anyway to get rid of the Veriface Icon without uninstalling the program? I could not find Veriface in my start up menu, and when I opened the program I could not find any settings. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Ended up uninstalling program. Issue gone. Seems to boot a little faster not that it didn't boot fast before.

  • How to get rid of empty space in module pool screen?

    Hello Experts,
    In module pool, I have 2 table controls inside 2 separate boxes in the same screen. Based on some conditions I hide the first table control. It's all working fine. But the space where first table is created remains blank in the screen. I don't want that.If the first table control is hidden the second table control should occupy the empty space. I do not want empty space in the screen.
    How can I acheive this.Is there anything I can set in the screen attribute level.
    Thanks.
    Yasin.

    Hi Yasin,
    As you said you have 2 sub screen areas and also 2 subscreens.
    when hide the First subscreen from First Subscreen area, you need to assign the second subscreen on to the first subscreen area and a dummy subscreen on to second subscreen area, this is a kind of work around and bit tricky playing with screen elements
    in Top Include
    data dynnr type sy-dynnr value '100' " your default Subscreen number
    in PBO
    call subscreen sub1 including sy-repid dynnr1 " First Sub screen area
    call subscreen sub2 including sy-repid dynnr2 " Second sub screen area
    in PAI
    module call_dyn_number.
    in program.
    case ok_code.
    when 'HIDE'. " When you hide the first table control
    dynnr1 = '200' " This is your second table control containing Screen number
    dynnr2 = '300'. "This is a Dummy Screen Number which doesnt contain any screen elements so output is plain
    " Note: This is a crude IDEA only as you try to implement you need to adjust this for the expected outcome
    " I implemented this earlier but dont have complete ref at this moment
    endcase.
    Hope this serves your purpose

  • How to get rid of black outline boxes persisting on screen

    Black outline boxes have started appearing around objects and icons that I’ve clicked on or text areas I've filled in. Sometimes these boxes persist on the screen in its original location until I go to a new program.
    For example – in PhotoShop, a black outline box appeared on the vertical slider area and then stayed in the same location on the screen until I switched to Safari – which then got it’s own boxes.
    I have a clear 20” Cinema Display.

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and check if VoiceOver is turned on; if so, turn it off.

  • How to get rid of shadowed border around screen on MacBook Pro?

    Just wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of this shadowed border on the screen of my macbook pro. I think my young daughter made it appear when she was striking various keys at random on my computer when I was not there. The cursor does not work when its over the shadow (i.e. will not depress the red 'x' button to exit a window and I have to drag window out from under shadow to close it).
    It also appears in the middle of screen when airplay is turned on. (See screen shots below)
    I have been unable to find any other discussion on this issue.
    Above is screen normally and below is when airplay is turned on. Please help, thanks.

    Hi rose_hedley,
    I'm wondering if you have restarted your computer by now and if that helped.
    That border is from Exposé with Show Desktop enabled (F11).

  • Screen just froze up in middle of netflix show...has the image on screen.  Don't know how to get rid of it,start over.

    screen just froze up in middle of netflix show...has the image on screen.  Don't know how to get rid of it,start over.

    I was able to reboot...thank goodness..because this morning the screen was still frozen on the Netflix movie...full screen and no options to do anything.  So the first option was not going to work for me.
    By the time I got to work the dead battery was showing...even though it had been plugged in all night...
    So then I looked at the Apple website to make sure I knew which was the Sleep key...and then did the reset and it worked.  It's at 2% right now and I assume it's charging....I cleared out the Safari cache and closed it up.
    Option 2, the reboot with Sleep and Home buttons worked...once I held them long enough!
    Many, many thanks.

  • I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  Help!

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

  • How to get rid of Safari !!!!!

    I must have missed the message to install Safari during one of the many iTunes updates and now I'm stuck with it on my computer taking up 60GB of space! I've tried removing it through Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs, but get the message that I don't have administrator privilages - which I do. Thinking I may have had this installed while I was logged in under my main administrator name, I logged off and logged back in under my only other user name and tried again - same message. So I went to the Safari folder and changed all security privilages to full access for both accounts and it still won't uninstall. How can this program claim I don't have administrator privilages when I used the only two user accounts on my computer?? So in a fit of defiance and desperation, I deleted the Safari folder and then ran the name "safari" in Vista's search box under the Start menu (I even included the wildcard .* to catch all examples). Guess what? Rather than find all traces of safari on my computer so I could delete them manually, Safari started running again!! I cancelled the program before it finished loading and went to recheck the Program Files folder and Safari was back there with a full 60GB of files again! I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!!
    Safari is a malicious software program as bad as any Malware or Adware I have ever seen! How can I get rid of it??
    (and no, I really do not want Safari - I don't care if you think its the greatest thing since sliced bread - I make the choices on my computer, not some software engineer or marketing division and I DON'T WANT SAFARI!!)
    Any suggestions on how to get rid of it? Did I miss something?
    Thanks all,
    LH

    The Safari update is not clear what it is and provided no explanation of what it was - it simply states "Safari". For all I know it could have been an indexing file for iTunes. There was no explanation as to what is was and the install checkbox was already checked so the unsuspecting may quickly and accidentaly hit install along with the iTunes update, thinking it was a required part of iTunes. Regardless of how it got there, I'm trying to get rid of it and it won't uninstall.
    Now you may fancy yourself as some kind of wunderkind software expert, but you apparently do not know Vista because it really does take up 60 GB and every time I delete it, it tries to reinstall itself. These are not multiple installations and I am the only user on this computer. You haven't offered me any help - only insults. If you aren't willing or able to offer help or assistance in the most sincerest form this request was intended, than stay out of this thread. Your actions and insults reinforce the prevailing belief that Apple users are unkind, rude, self-important snobs.

  • HT5622 how to get rid of an old apple ID on my iphone 5 . the ID belongs to a store where I bought my phone ,and it's in a different country ??

    How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.

    You can't.  That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused.  Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?
