How to get rid of WEBCAKE ad popups

This unwanted "webcake ad" popup takes a lot of space along the bottom of my screen. How to kill it off?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

How to get rid of iCal Alias popup screen on reboot?

Every time I reboot my computer an iCal Alias pop up screen appears that is full of jumbled text like:
wò≠ÃœÔ∑î◊ˇÅÄ! Ëˇˇ‰kÁ«∆|Èˇƒ

I always just X out of it.
What is this? Why is it suddenly appearing every time I reboot (it's been doing this for the last few months but never did it before that)?
Most importantly, how can I get rid of this permanently?
If it makes any difference I'm running a 2008 20" iMac with OS X 10.9.4 and Calendar v. 7.0.
Thanks.

Hi rose_hedley,
I'm wondering if you have restarted your computer by now and if that helped.

How to get rid off Youtube pause Popup window on Apple TV?

The Youtube new interface has a Pause popup window. It is really annoying as it hides most of the picture and greys out the rest if you decide to examine a examine a still. Is there a way to surpass that?
Thanks

No there is no way to Mirror full screen from an iOS device to the Apple TV. iOS devices are not 16:9 like your HDTV so the mirrored image appears as the size your iOS device would be if it were the size of your TV. Hope that makes sense.

How to get rid of activation required popup on unlocked iPhone 4s?

I bought an iPhone 4s online around a month ago and got it in the post a few days after, I had bought it from America and I live in Ireland and when it got here it was locked only to the Sprint network. I got an e-mail a few days ago to say that the seller had been in contact with Sprint and they had unlocked it and all I needed to do was to restore it and then connect it to iTunes with my irish sim (48 is the one i have). This seemed to work as now i can see signal bars and the 48 icon in the left corner but then a few seconds after the it comes up activation required and I can't work it until I take the irish sim out. Does anyone know anyway I could resolve this? There's two photos below of the problem, thanks!

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

How do I get rid of the SPAM Popup Ad for an External HDD

A spam popup ad for an external HDD came down with supposed Lenovo system updates. This ad pops up every few hours and I can figure out how to get rid of it. There is a check box that says 'don't show again' but I check it and it doesn't work. I am extreemly disappointed they have invaded my system with an ad that was part of a system update. I have 15 thinkpad users and it hasn't happened to all of them yet but they'll be screaming at me when it does.
Solved!

How to get rid of adobe Pop up

Hi,
Hope some one can help. How can I get rid of a adobe popup in
the middle of my screen?
When running the tutorials theres a adobe 'project created
by' pop up in the middle of the screen. It's actually there right
from the beginning. I've also created a simple movie and get the
same thing when I publish it as export html. The pop up doesn't
appear in the previews. Clicking on the X on the top right corner
of the pop up doesn't work.
Kind regards,
Arfar

Hi ArfarC and welcome to our community
Are you maybe using the trial version? If so, maybe it's
something in the trial version. If you have the full version, you
may be referring to the preloader. Click Edit > Preferences...
> Project node > Start and End node. There you may either
DE-select the Loading Screen or choose one you like better.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

How to get rid of pop-ups on my macBook air?

One of my roommates recently downloaded torrent on my macbook air to watch a movie, and since then I have been experiencing popups every time I open a new page on safari. Also, my search engine has switched to something known as search-quick? I've tried a few different mac detox sites to no avail. Very frustrated. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this "virus" and pop-ups would be much appreciated!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
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 named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. 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.
Then, 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.

How to get rid of malware on Mac Pro

I have a Mac Pro with the OS X Yosemite. My computer has malware on it. I keep getting popups and ads on my screen, whether I'm using Safari or Chrome. One of the popups says "Suspicious activity found on your computer, due to pop-up advertisement windows and invasive links. Please contact tech support at 1-866-215-6348." I want to know how to get rid of this malware. Thanks in advance.

Some are persistent. Force quit Safari again. Disconnect from the Internet by either turning off Wi-Fi in the System Preferences, or unplugging the Ethernet cable from your router/modem. Hold the Shift key and launch Safari again. If the same popup appears, you will be able to dismiss it and navigate away from the page, or close its tab. Reconnect to the Internet.
Though reading your initial post again, it's sounding more like JimmyCMPIT is correct since you're seeing ads in multiple browsers. It's just rare for one the ads that pops up to be like one of the tech support scams.
In which case, you can either follow Apple's manual instructions for removing adware, or use the free automated tool, AdwareMedic (as mentioned by, and linked to by Jimmy).
It should be noted that Apple's manual removal instructions are typically outdated. Sometimes a lot outdated. It depends on when Apple last updated their instructions page. If you would prefer to manually remove the adware on your system, you can find much more up-to-date instructions on The Safe Mac's adware removal page.

Amost every page I open, Firefox asks whether to enable Flash player. How to get rid of this nagging pest ?

Amost every page I open, Firefox takes a line off my netbook screen to ask whether to enable Flash player.
How to get rid of this nagging pest ?

downloaded 17MB flash installer from Adobe website.
This download did not run properly, reporting that it had some error.
Still plagued with FireFox queries about Flash.
Don't much care about having flash plugin in FireFox.
Prefer to download a flash file, scan with virus checker, then play it with VideoLAN.
So I disabled Flash plugin to "Never Ask" but still the noxious popup
"FireFox has prevented the outdated plugin "Adobe Flash" from running on helpx.adobe.com. Continue Blocking ? Allow ... X"

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. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. 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.

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.
