How to remove highlighted word ads on web pages. Tried everything

Hi everyone. Haviing a problem with highlighted words ads on web pages. Tried everything. Went safari / preferences / extensions. Removed everything. The problem remains. Can anyone help me on this one?

you may have Genieo installed
see
http://www.genieo.com/faq/#q20
Note that, if Genieo is installed, using the recommendations that Genieo themselves provide on that page will not remove it. They cannot be trusted, and their uninstaller is known not to remove everything. Proper Genieo removal instructions can be found in my Adware Removal Guide.
I don't believe this is a Genieo problem, though. Genieo usually just hijacks the search engine. It doesn't cause the random underlined words that cause ads to pop up. That's going to be caused by some other adware, probably also described in my Adware Removal Guide.

    after every highlighted word it can also be seen a green symbol.
    waiting eagerly for your replu

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

    HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

    Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page.  Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page.  Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

  • How to remove links pointing to the same page?

    I have PDF documents with Links which point to sections referenced (e.g. link of text "Section 2.2" points to the actual page number of "Section 2.2"), but as the links are created from cross-references during rendition from Word to PDF, there are cases that the destination page number and source page number of the links are the same (e.g. links of text "Section 2.2" on page 9 are created with the destination of page 9 which is the actual page number of "Section 2.2"), I want to remove all these links, but I don't know how to get the destination page, I check the API reference and find that "PDLinkAnnotGetAction" may work , but I don't know how to use it, could you check me codes below and advise ? Your help is really appreciated!
    PDPage page;
    ASInt32 i,i2;
    AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
    PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc (avDoc);
    int pageNum = PDDocGetNumPages(pdDoc);
    for (i = pageNum - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    page = PDDocAcquirePage(pdDoc, i);
    int annotNum = PDPageGetNumAnnots(page);
    for (i2 = annotNum - 1; i2 >= 0; i2--)
      if...
      PDPageRemoveAnnot(i, i2);
    My Product Information:
    Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Windows

    Start by reading the PDF standard (ISO 32000-1) to understand Actions vs. Destinations.
    Then for each annot, you'll want to see which it has (and in the case of an Action, if it has more than one).  Then you need to parse the action or dest to see what it is and where it goes.  If you don't like it, then you'll delete it.

  • Opting out of targeted ads on web pages

    I received an email today annoncing I will received targeted ads on web pages, and that I can go to the Verizon site to "opt out".  I can't find where to do this.
    Please note I am not asking how to opt out of emails from Verizon.
    If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.  I have no interest in being "targeted".  Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I received the same email and I am very distrubed.  The thing that bothers me even more than being targeted for ads is how Verizon is purposely making it difficult if not impossible to find the Opt Out Page.  As soon as you click on the link it SHOULD take you to the Opt Out Page.  It would be VERY EASY for Verizon to set it up this way.  But Verizon is requiring you sign in first - once signed in - it does not take you to the page - you have to search for it.  Their web site is NOT USER FRIENDLY!  I searched for the Opt Out Page, then searched for a way to email or chat with a rep at Verizon.  I couldn't find any of it. 
    Shows a very big lack of integrity and customer service.  Will be looking for another carrier to do business with. 

  • How do I enlarge the font on web pages

    how do I enlarge the font on web pages so that it stays that way all the time

    Funny thing today Thomas,
    Someone had a link to your site which you mentioned your first virus, the WDEF, and I chuckled as we both had the same experience all these years.
    Anyway Thomas, I call it as I see it and like any IT professional, use the best tool for the job.
    Did you know Steve Jobs used Linux on his renderfarm at Pixar?
    So really what the problem is people's sensibilities, which they shouldn't be worried about because like IE, because of Safari being included on hardware, automatically is the first browser of choice and in no danger of losing market share on Apple hardware.
    However if Safari isn't quite cutting the mustard for a particular person's needs, like this person's situation, they should be informed of a alternate solution.
    Safari doesn't have nearly the amount of customization as Firefox nor the zillions of add-ons to solve just about any issue.
    If people decide not to take my advice that's their choice, and they choose not too, but likely, just in this case, will come to realize the same problem I had with increasing Safari's text size and distortion of web pages.
    Soon as Apple starts paying attention to their needs of their hard of seeing customers better, like myself and others, then I will most certainly recommend Safari over Firefox. 

  • HT4356 How can I airprint part of a web page?

    How can I airprint part of a web page using iPad and Safari?

    Copy (or cut) the area you want to print, and paste it in to a new document.
    Or take a screen shot (by simultaneously holding Shift + Command + 4 keys) of the area you want to print, then print the resulting screen shot file (which appears on your desktop).

  • Best Practices Question: How to send error message to SSHR web page.

    Best Practices Question: How to send error message to SSHR web page from custom PL\SQL procedure called by SSHR workflow.
    For the Manager Self-Service application we’ve copied various workflows which were modified to meet business needs. Part of this exercise was creating custom PL\SQL Package Procedures that would gather details on the WF using them on custom notification sent by the WF.
    What I’m looking for is if/when the PL\SQL procedure errors, how does one send an failure message back and display it on the SS Page?
    Writing information into a log or table at the database level works for trouble-shooting, but we’re looking for something that will provide the end-user with an intelligent message that the workflow has failed.
    Thanks ahead of time for your responses.
    Rich

    We have implemented the same kind of requirement long back.
    We have defined our PL/SQL procedures with two OUT parameters
    1) Result Type (S:Success, E:Error)
    2) Result Message
    In the PL/SQL procedure we always use below construct when we want to raise any message
    hr_utility.set_message(APPL_NO, 'FND_MESSAGE_NAME');
    hr_utility.raise_error;
    In Exception block we write below( in successful case we just set the p_result_flag := 'S';)
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN APP_EXCEPTION.APPLICATION_EXCEPTION THEN
    p_result_flag := 'E';
    p_result_message := hr_utility.get_message;
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    p_result_flag := 'E';
    p_result_message := hr_utility.get_message;
    fnd_message.set_name('PER','FFU10_GENERAL_ORACLE_ERROR');
    fnd_message.set_token('2',substr(sqlerrm,1,200));
    fnd_msg_pub.add;
    p_result_message := fnd_msg_pub.get_detail;
    After executing the PL/SQL in java
    We have written some thing similar to
    orclStmt.execute();
    OAExceptionUtils.checkErrors (txn);
    String resultFlag = orclStmt.getString(provide the resultflag bind no);
    if ("E".equalsIgnoreCase(resultFlag)){
    String resultMessage = orclStmt.getString(provide the resultMessage bind no);
    orclStmt.close();
    throw new OAException(resultMessage, OAException.ERROR);
    It safely shows the message to the user with all the data in the page.
    We have been using this construct for a long time for all our projects. They are all working as expected.

  • ER diagrams in word docs and web pages

    What are the best ways of getting ER diagrams displayed in Word documents and web pages? The output facilities from Designer seem a bit limited unless I am missing something.

    True, the diagrammer is a modelling tool, not a drawing tool.
    To get your diagram in word however you can select & copy the entities in a windows fashion to word (Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V).
    If you want the contents of the repository in html on the web you should try ODWA (Oracle Designer Web Assitant)!

  • How do I highlight selected text in the Pages, Keynotes?

    How do I highlight selected text in the Pages, Keynotes?

    To answer your question foor your iOS Device using Pages or Keynote for iOS: You can't highlight as you might in many note taking apps for iPad, etc.
    The best you can do at this point is to change the selected text's color by selecting the text > Style Menu (wrench) > Tap on the Font > Tap on the Color Box to reveal choices.
    If you would like to join the chorus of folks wishing such a feature were in Pages and Keynote, you can leave feedback for the people at Apple:

  • I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page.  everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?".  does anyone know what to do?

    I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page.  Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?".  Does anyone know what to do?

    Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
    Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them.  Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.
