How to get rid of an add-on called Search-Quick

I noticed recently that my Safari homepage keeps getting replaced by something called Search Quick (search-quick.com) even after I specifically reset it to the page I want.  It shows a graphic with a input bar and a flashing cursor underneath the graphic.  I have never accessed this site so i have no idea where this came from.  According to the makers it is supposed to be an add-on to quickly find stuff, and shows up in Spotlight as "Search Quick - Apps We Trust"  but it is nowhere to be found, so I am unable to delete it, which I would love to do.  Please help.  I've been at it for many frustrating hours.

  • How to get rid of 3rd party and others similar annoying adds????

    How to get rid of 3rd party and others similar annoying adds????

    If you have somehow acquired adware or malware, or maybe some add-ons to your browser
    that can be seen in that part of your preference controls for the browser, you may be able to
    follow instructions on adware removal to be sure that isn't the problem. You can also go into
    the browser and be sure the add-ons don't load.
    Some items such as Spigot, genieo, and others can be included in free download or other sites
    where the content is spiced with badware; sometimes a click-to-download gets you some other
    content instead of what you thought it was. There even are browser redirecting items that keep
    you looking at some page you don't want; and if you click on stuff, you may get more badware.

    Some may suggest also using a tool by the name Etrecheck, but this by itself does nothing if
    you don't know what to do next, however it does give you a partial list of some potential items
    that could be indicative of troublesome software or adware, stuff to also remove.

    HI,
    HOw to get rid of the renderlist
    border line,
    Give Feedback  link   
    Send To  link in the news browser.
    After removing thiese things, it should look like a normal html page .

    if coding required then which is the par file I need to modify
    thanks
    pkiran

    Hi PKG,
    the "GiveFeedback" and "SendTo" links are called "FlexUI" commands. Most of that stuff is highly configurable and naturally you can remove them in the KM Configuration at
    SystemAdmin->SystemConfig->KM->CM->UserInterface
    -> ... -> ResourceRnderer
    Your ResourceRenderer uses a CommandGroup. In this CommandGroup you can add/remove commands.
    For example un your case its the CommandGroup "NewsDisplayGroup"
    Kind Regards

  • How to Get Rid of the Extra cents left on your gift Card balance?

    I would very much like some help on how to get rid of the 65 cents I have left in my itunes account, without having to spend it on something, or make a new account, or contact Apple. Please someone help with this, I'm sure many other are having trouble as well!!!!

    I noticed there is an extension which lets you clear the title of the current page or replace it with other text. This seems to work equally well in private and non-private windows, however, it doesn't appear to have an option to automatically do it in all private windows. Maybe someone can add that feature (the author isn't maintaining the add-on any more).

  • How to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen?

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen when we start BPC. I do not want it to pop up.
    I looked at VBA behind the workbooks but could not find anything. Could not make the sheet invisible.
    Is there a way to get rid of the screen? This is the screenshot

    Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
    Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
    OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
    It is quite easy.
    Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
    Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
    In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
    Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
    The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
    Some tips.
    I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
    If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
    Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,

    If you add a passcode to your iPhone as you should, then there's no way they can see anything in your iPhone.  Of course, if the passcode is set but not enough time has elapsed that's different -- but that has nothing to do with this icon.

  • A friend gave me an older Nano 3rd generation. Can anyone tell me how to delete what is on there and how to get rid of his name. It does not connect to my itunes. I cannot even find the source or the place to restore it as suggested in the owners manual.

    I have a 3rd generation ipod that a friend gave me. I cannot find anything on how to get rid of his name and music on it. This is what the owners manual says:
    "Select ipod nano in the soiurce list and click the summary tab" I cannot find the source or the summary tab on itunes. Can any one help me? I would like to delete everything on it and start over but I am afraid I cannot add anything back on it. I know this is detailed and a lot, but I really need help.

    Restore
    Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
    How to restore your iPod:For Windows:
    1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
    4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
    5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    For Mac:
    1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.

    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with latest iPod Software version on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with latest iPod Software version on your computer.
    6. A message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator's name and password.
    7. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    8. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display.

  • "Open In Tabs." How it got there and how to get rid of it?

    I've searched the forums and tried all I can think of but cannot figure out:
    1) How an "Open in Tabs" item got in my Bookmarks Menu -
    When I go to Main Menu>Bookmarks, at the very bottom is a dividing line and below it, "Open In Tabs." Yet, when I Show All Bookmarks, I cannot find it anywhere. It's not a folder, it's not a link or site, its not in the Bookmarks Bar or the Bookmarks Menu - but it's there when I drop down from Main Menu>Bookmarks.
    2) How to create my own "open in tabs" with only two bookmarks in it that I can set to open at starting up Safari.
    Right now, when I click it, it tries to open everthing in my Bookmarks Menu.
    Can anyone explain (how it got there and how to get rid of it) - and help me do what I'm trying to do (open two sites at startup)? Thanks.
    (Safari 1.3.2-OS 10.3.9)

    I have to apologize, I accidently gave the link to Safari Enhancer when I mentioned Safari Extender.
    Safari Enhancer and Safari Extender are two different programs with two different purposes.
    Enhancer is a free standalone program to adjust some of the features in Safari that can not be adjusted using Safari's Preferences. It also alows you to make these changes without having to use the Terminal.
    Extender is a shareware Safari plugin that adds its own items to the control-click contextual menus in Safari and includes menu items to work with tabs, mail, user agents, printing, and other functions.
    Both are useful programs. I have and use each of them.

  • STOP "determining gapless playback info": how to get rid of it?

    I have itunes 7 with macbookpro and 80 gigs of music on an external hard drive connected through USB to my Airpot Extreme 802.11n base.
    I CANNOT USE itunes because it is endlessly "determining gapless playback info" (i'm using the French version who says "détermination des données de lecture sans intervalle")
    though I DON'T NEED IT. This is the option that allow albums to play gapless... no such an improvement for a so slow process!
    This morning it treated 200 songs in 5 hours... it has been one week i'm letting it work times to times but with this rhythm I still have to wait 350 hours = more than 15 days 24/24... without speaking of the extremely frequent cases when I have to "force to quit" and restard itunes.....
    I CAN'T BEAR THAT ANYMORE... IS ALL THAT REALLY NECESSARY?
    I cannot imagine this option cannot be unactivated... so please if someone can tell me how to get rid of this "determining gapless playback info" thing... I would be very happy...
    Many thanks for your answer!

    I'm having the exact same issue. I have a 802.11n Airport Extreme that has my 100 GB music library connected to it via the USB port, and my iTunes (on my MacBook Pro) connects to it via the Airport Disk. Each time I add a batch of new songs to the library, it takes for ever for iTunes to resolve the gapless information. I just added 30 tracks, and it took about 10 to 15 minutes, during which iTunes was completely inaccessible with the spinning beach ball.
    My theory is that to determine gapless information, iTunes has to load each track into memory to analyze it. That goes by quick if the libary is direct connected, but over the network that can be a pain (especially if the mp3s are large).
    I really wish Apple would make this feature "toggle-able" on a future release of iTunes.

  • How to get rid of decimals in the formula field?

    Hello,
    I'm using CR 2008.
    How to get rid of the decimals in the formula field? I have a field with this formula:
    "<b>" & ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.GameType}) &
    "</b>" & "<br><i>" &
    ProperCase ({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.CustomerName}) &
    "</i><br>" &
    ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.PlannerID}) &
    "<br>" & ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Forms}) &
    "<br>" & ProperCase({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Notes}) &
    "<br>" & "Concepts: " & ToText(int({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Concepts}))
    The field {DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Concepts} is already an Integer in the database, so it shouldn't have any decimals, for some reason CR add them. It's easy to format a stand alone field, but how to do this in the formula?
    I tried the int() function, but it didn't work. The Round(field, 0) function didn't work either - still see the numbers like 12.00 instead of 12.
    I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you,
    Peter

    I've found the solution, this way it worked:
    "Concepts: " & CStr({DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Concepts}, 0)

    There doesn't seem to be any option to remove it via the Customize toolbars window.
