How to get rid of unwanted popups

Every time I open a website, there are annoying popups that would show up. Sometimes it would also ask me to allow or trust a certificate, which I am unsure of. I would really want to get rid of them because I am quite concerned that it may be a virus or something. I just wanted any advice whether I can do something about it on my own or do I have to go to the apple store to get further help.
Please help!

Sometimes it would also ask me to allow or trust a certificate, which I am unsure of.
You should never permit the installation of something you are unsure of.
You may have inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

How to get rid of unwanted brush border

I'm using a freeware 'blood splatter' brush but when I place it down there's an ugly border surrounding it - same thickness as brush stroke. It's not part of the actual brush effect itself though.
How do I get rid of it?

Actually i was doing it wrong - I just dragged the brush out onto the page and this makes the border appear.
However if I use the brush the 'correct' way - by drawing using the pencil tool then with the line still selected pick a bloody splatter brush - the colour of the brush is it's default black and not what I has selected - in this case green.
How do I change the colour of the brush or do some brushes just support a single colour?

How to get rid of Unwanted brush overlay in CS5?

Recently I've had this problem in Photoshop where if (on any color besides black) I lift my pen up the color overlaps.
Here's a screenshot as example.
The star to the left is what happen if I draw without lifting my pen (using one continuous stream of color) and the star to the right is the result I get when drawing normally.
I don't understand why this is happening. Opacity and flow are both at 100%. I checked under Transfer and both the jitters are at 0% as well.
Can someone please help me fix this?

If the opacity is less the 100% every time you add an additional brush on top of a previous stroke the overlap area will become more opaque more saturated.
When you use a single continuous stroke without stopping when you overlap area Photoshop does not increase saturation. This enable you to fill an area with a single color shade. If you have a tablet you can vary the paint opacity laid down by setting the brush transfer to pen pressure or be clicking the opacity icon in the option bar. Adobe paint and brush engine is highly adjustable make that very complex.

How to get rid of website popups

I try to click at something and then all of a sudden a tab opens up and its an ad to clean my macbook air. It is really annoying. How can i remove these websites form coming up??!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come 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 would probably have included 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 you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Import from iPhoto: how to get rid of unwanted copies and thumbnails?

Hi,
Browsing through my 37000 images - mostly imported from iPhoto, I recogize that a lot of them are (for some strange reason, or error on my part) imported twice.
It typically manifest itself like 2 project files like this:
2003-05-16-21-2
2003-05-16-21-2 (1)
....with a lot of the content in the 2 projects being identical. I also get quite a bit of projects with names ending with .."Thumbs" containing small images.
Is there a way of safely removing identical copies and thumbs without having to traverse all the folders/projects manually?
Best regards,
Kjell Are

In that case, you have the Downlite (aka VSearch, aka DynamicPricer) adware installed at a minimum. See:

HT6196 how do I edit a movie clip to get rid of unwanted parts of a clip

how do I edit a movie clip in thelatest version of I movie to get rid of unwanted parts of a clip

You can split a clip into pieces using Quicktime Player. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5879?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
for details.
Second question:
I don't know what you want to acheive but yhe only way I can think of to move a precise time into a clip is to select it and trim it - whilst trimming the time amount trimmed is displayed. Stop when you have the right amount then position the playhead there. You can then 'untrim it' and he playhead will be at the desired spot.
