How to remove do searches virus

DO SEARCHES has hijacked firefox. how do I remove it

It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

    You shouldn't disable Spotlight completely; Apple's App Store relies on it to keep track of updates to software you've downloaded and permit you to update them when they're available. Instead, in Spotlight preferences, uncheck everything in "Search Results." Spotlight will still run for OS and App Store purposes but won't be useful for your search needs any longer. Instead, check out EasyFind in the App Store. It's fast, flexible, and will search external drives Spotlight hasn't indexed.

  • How to remove latest java virus?

    How to remove latest java virus manually as reported in the media?

    There is some incorrect information being presented in this thread.
    Neither your system nor Java is  updated daily. XProtect on 10.6 or above may get automatic updates as they are pushed out by Apple, but not necessariy daily. I have seen a week or more go by without any, and there have been none for the latest Flashback attack.
    There are now Java updates for 10.6.8 and 10.7 to patch the vulnerability that is currently being exploited. This Trojan does not necessarily require your password or any user interaction for infection.
    Use Software Update to see if there is a Java update for your OS.
    The github Flashchecker is inaduate as it depends on outdated definitions.
    Try using this one, which is most certainly more current.

    Please describe the problem you are experiencing, and the equipment being affected by the problem.

  • How to remove the search bar in the tab strip?

    My latest firefox update includes a search bar IN THE TAB STRIP on top of the page (not the one in the navigation toolbar). It takes up too much space for the tabs and it is useless (since there is already a search bar below it in the navigation toolbar). How do I remove it?

    I was able to fix the problem in Safe Mode. It was an extension disguised as a Firefox original part, named itself as "firefox default tabs." I am not sure how I got it since I have not downloaded anything recently. My Kaspersky did not block anything as well. But, huge thanks!

  • How to remove ICQ Search from Firefox

    Are you an ICQ-user? Have you ever wanted to have your own search engine instead of theirs? Even when you uninstall the ICQ Search Toolbar in "Add/Remove Programs", delete the extension in Firefox's Add-ons and restart your browser, it still not completely gone! You may not have noticed this, but the simple reason is that ICQ.com doesn't actually care what people do and don't want running when you install their instant-messaging software onto your computer...
    Luckily, you're not alone in this regard and there is a solution if you follow these instructions carefully:
    1) Type in the address bar "about:config" (without quotes). You will receive a warning here about changing advanced settings, so don't uncheck the box and just click the button to proceed.
    2) In the filter bar, type icq and press enter.
    3) Change the '''browser.search.defaultenginename''', '''browser.search.defaultengine''' and '''browser.search.order.1''' to Google.co.uk
    4) Change '''keyword.URL''' to http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy-zb&hl=en&source=hp&q=
    This is the default string for a keyword search through the address bar in Google, but if you use another search engine, type a word into it and simply copy the string created for that, minus the word itself!
    5) Right-click to modify "extensions.testpilot.surveyAnswers.broken_extensions_survey" list and copy it to notepad.
    6) Delete the ICQ Toolbar Parameter -- carefully make sure you observe how each parameter is listed so you get it all.
    7) Copy and paste the new parameters list into the Modify box.
    8) Close all Firefox windows, and then open them again.
    That's it! Unfortunately Firefox doesn't allow you to fully delete the ICQ parameters from the about:config area - perhaps that requires ICQ's uninstall, or a complete reinstall of Firefox - but with this information you should have your search engine back to normal.
    Unless you properly know how the rest of those functions work, I also suggest you don’t modify them.

    See attachment. Select Bueno search engine and click Remove.
    If it keeps coming back you've probably got some unwanted program on your system. A scan with a good AV and a Malware scanner ([https://www.malwarebytes.org/ Malwarebytes]) is recommended.

  • HELP! How to remove Yahoo search from firefox 36.0.1? HELP!

    I guess I made a big mistake upgrading to FireFox 36.0.1! Nothing but grief since trying to remove the Yahoo search from this version.
    Didn't appreciate this version removing my default Home page tabs to use on startup. Looks like they are gone forever - not happy!
    I have tried many if not all forms of advice to remove this yahoo search from my home page to no avail. I even uninstalled it and made sure I got a non Yahoo version from the Mozilla site. Still no help.
    1) I have tried changing keyword.URL via about:config - no help
    2) I have tried changing the Search - Change Search Settings - no help
    3) I tried bringing up a single tab with Google and using General options to Use Current Page - no help
    4) I tried the same using many other tabs without Google - no help
    5) I have removed Yahoo and others from the Search options - no help
    6) Uninstalled and reinstalled a "CLEAN" version from Mozilla site - no help
    7) Retried 1 thru 5 above again - no help
    8) Checked the Shortcut Target in Mozilla FireFox Properties - no help
    Get the idea? No matter what, Yahoo comes back every time I open FireFox. Which means I cannot use a set of tabs as my default any more. WHY????
    Looks like it may be time to severe my long time use of this browser since the beginning with NetScape in the earliest of days with PC's. Too Bad.

    This worked. The problem is the user.js file was changed. See below:
    User.js file overriding preferences
    If you don't have any of the above programs installed, or if you followed the suggestions and single preferences still aren't being saved, you may have to edit Firefox's configuration files yourself. Don't panic, it's pretty easy. Here's how to do it.
    Open your profile folder:
    Click the menu button New Fx Menu , click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
    Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
    Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
    Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Exit Close 29
    Open the file user.js with a text editor (like Notepad).
    If there is no user.js file, these steps won't help you.
    Remove the lines for the options you want to be able to change. You can delete all the lines if you want to be able to change everything.
    Save the file and close the text editor.
    You should now be able to change your Firefox settings.

  • How to remove Mac Guard virus

    how do you romove the Mac Guard virus???

    Babowa and Barry,
    I undertsnad what you guys mean.
    Please look at the definition from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware
    Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, scareware, crimeware, most rootkits, and other malicious and unwanted software or program.
    Therefore, Malware is a concept that includes computer viruses.
    I surely know the difference among Trojans, viruses, worm, spyware, etc. But I usually would like to calle all of them as " Virus" because I think "Virus" has been a general and popular concept for all computer threats.
    Anyway, the most important thing here is to remove the Mac Guard infection and I just wanted to offer you guys some more information. If you think it is not ok with you, just ignore it. Just like all of you here:  I offered you the information and it is your choice to accpt the information or ignore the information.

  • How to remove default search button in search module

    I am a neophyte with code and css and normally work with Muse. But I am currently trying to customize the appearance of the search module so that it works with the website it will be serving. I have  accomplished a large part of what I've been attempting, but have hit a snag in removing the default search button (CAT_Search). I've placed the image I want to use no problem, but it is contained in some weird gray beveled box with the original 'Search' text overlapping my image.
    I have been making the rounds of tech support, tutorials, and every documented article on the search module and can find nothing that address this specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am enclosing the what I've done so far below.
    Thanks!

    Hi Ramandeep Nanda,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I followed a slightly different approach than the one mentioned in your post.
    I have not used any client side javascript attributes.I got the inputListOfValues Component from the launch listener event ( launchPopupEvent.getComponent() ) and in the launch listener i am setting richQuery.setModeChangeVisible(false);
    It is hiding the button now but only for the first invocation of the search dialog, it is not working.
    More specifically, for the first invocation of the search dialog, Iterator facetNames = inputListOfValues.getFacetNames(); is not returning the child components and hence the button is not being hidden.
    Any idea why this might be happening?
    Thanks,
    Vikas
