How to remove lavasoft secure search that overtook the homepage

I installed Ad-Aware Free A11 and Lavasoft Secure Search has replaced the standard google Search. After uninstal;ling the Ad-Aware the Lavasoft secure search remaned as a homepage and it does not show up in the program list in the control center that could be uninstalled! The taskbar disappeared too!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    how do i permanantly remove mcafee secure search bar

    You need to uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' which includes the Secure Search box.
    The program has its own uninstaller which you need to run called '''Uninstall.exe''' which is located in ''C:\Program Files\SiteAdvisor\6066''
    Follow the prompts to remove it completely from your system and then reboot.

    Never seen anything like it.  Do iPads get virus'?
    Thanks for any help.  I've never used this before.
    Linda

    There are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why can't anyone tell me how to remove all those little "!" in the left column all at once or at least sort them so I can mark them and then delete them?

    Why can't anyone tell me how to remove all those little "!" in the left column all at once or at least sort them so I can mark them and then delete them?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
    If, on the otherhand, you've been cleaning up your media from Explorer rather than iTunes and just want to eliminate the now broken links, use Tunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

  • How do I create a filter that bypasses the in page and goes directly to spam rather to delete?

    How do I create a filter that bypasses the in page and goes directly to spam rather than to delete?

    From your question I'm going to guess you are talking about Mac Mail.
    If you are talking about a RULE then the "Perform the following actions:" would be to select "Move Message" to mailbox "Junk" instead of "Delete Message."
    If you are talking about something else then please give more information.

  • How to remove an unsollicited advertisment that cannot be removed by usual steps.

    This afternoon, an ad for skin care products appeared on my screen while I was getting ready to schedule an airline reservation. I tried to delete it by clicking the red circle, by pressing the delete key, by closing the folder, by turning off Firefox, by closing down Firefox, by clicking a forced closing of the program and finally by pressing the start button on the MacBook Pro, causing the entire computer to shut down. After waiting several minutes, I opened the computer again but the uninvited advertisment still filled the desktop and prevented every effort to remove it. I tried activating another browser (one I have not used before). The browser was activated, but the unwanted solicitation covered most of the second browser (Opera).
    I do not fully recall how I finally escaped the advertisement, but it involved an attempt to force quit the Firefox browser which worked. Then I was able to use the Opera browser to make the airline reservation and send in this complaint and request for guidance.
    The URL of the offending advertisement is"healthy-consumer.com/news/skincare-secrets-exposed/?&c1=323exit" followed by a string of additional wording: "exit."
    I don't know how I can use Firefox browser again, given the horrible impact of this URL intrusion. Do you have any suggestions?
    I would also like to file a complaint with any police or governmental agency responsible for dealing with such harmful invasions of our computers. Can you offer any guidance.
    My email is: [email protected] My user name is: spring719. Thank you for any assistance you can provide in this matter.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

  • How to remove Yahoo! search engine

    I have two yahoo search engines appearing in the search box menu. One is Yahoo and the other is Yahoo! (with the explanation mark). It appears the Yahoo! has hijacked my browser as I am unable to remove it by using the manage search engine option. While it appears to be removed, when I close Firefox I get a message that says a program blocked its removal. Please tell me what I need to do to remove this bogus search engine as it redirects me to what appear to be legit Yahoo pages saying words that I never typed could not be found. Interestingly, the redirects do not occur for all websites I visit.
    Thanks, Tony

    Use most or all of the listed programs. Each works differently.
    If one program misses something, another may catch it.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
