How to stop a pop up - Goodgame Empire

While browsing the net, from email to facebook to youtube to forums, I get the same annoying pop up - Goodgame Empire -(http://lp.empire.goodgamestudios.com/?country=us&pid=248&camp=1&gid=12&cid=785514&tid=18668003%A0).
A new tab will randomly open every 10-60 seconds, it seems to be triggered by me if I scroll down on a page, or select another tab, or click the address bar etc, but also just randomly as well. So far, while writing this it has opened about 15 new tabs.
I have searched google and haven't found any answers, I'm not a computer guru but I can do basic things. So far, I have deleted my history, cookies etc. Still pops ups. I tried blocking the website, still pops up. I downloaded some add on for firefox and it seemed to fix the problem about a week ago until today it started again, and I can't remember the name of the add-on and I don't know where to find it. I also ran my McAfee antivirus program and Malwarebytes and they found nothing.
I am out of ideas on how to fix this, it is extremely frustrating, please help, and remember I am not a computer genius.

What is
*Vgrabber1 Community Toolbar <br />3.16.0.3
and
*Yontoo <br />1.20.00
(They show up in your post's ''More system details'' aside. )
Those are both is getting hits on a websearch I just did, as being malware. So for starters I would uninstall both of those. There should be options on firefox to uninstall them. Of course malware does not always uninstall easily, but lets start with the basics.
* see [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
* and if you have problems [[Cannot uninstall an add-on]] <br /> and [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
Try following the advice in the above two articles, then post back with how you get on and any problems you encounter.

How to stop automatic pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi"?

Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567552 Bug 567552] – Fonts on External drive are activated by Firefox, and preference to not ask again is ignored

How to stop sales pop up add

My company owns the license for the version of Adobe Acrobat that I am using. However, every time I open a PDF a pop-up sales ad asking me to either
purchase the software or continue the trial comes onto my screen. I would like it to go away. Any help out there?

This is NOT AN ADVERT. Rather it is telling you that your license is not being used, so you are still running a trial. When the days are up, it will stop working -- so now is the time to sort it out.
If you have a regular retail license, you just need to sign in with your Adobe ID, TO ACROBAT. Then it knows you have the subscription.
If it's a company volume license, contact your license coordinator for the right steps to follow.

How to stop a pop up window if the session expires

Hi
I have a situation wherein i have my jsp page. in that i have a button on clicking it a pop up window will open to take a input parameter.
Now what we want is that if the session is not valid than the pop up shud not open.
Currrently what is happening wen the session is not valid the popup gets open and in that popup a login page is coming.
The logic for pop has been put in a javascript code which gets executed when the page was first loaded . So even if i put a logic for checking the session before the popup opens it wont work. So what can be a possible way i can do it?
I am writing a scriptlet to check the logic for valid session.
function changeLimitFunc(count)
     <% if ((request.getSession(false)== null)) {%>
          return false;
     <%}
     else {%>
popUp('');
          openedForm.target = 'change_download_limit';
          openedForm.submit();
<%}%>
and in the page which geot loaded the same code appears like
function changeLimitFunc(count)
     popUp('');
               openedForm.target = 'change_download_limit';
               openedForm.submit();
this popUp is amethod where we are createing our popup.
please help me out to resolve it

I have written this javascript code to block the popup
function changeLimitFuncUnopened()
if (checkIfValidSession()) {
          popUp('');
          unopenedForm.target = 'change_download_limit';
          unopenedForm.submit();
          else {
          return false;
function checkIfValidSession() {
<% HttpSession httpSession = request.getSession(); %>
var lastAccessTime = <%= httpSession.getLastAccessedTime() %> ;
var maxInactiveTime = <%= httpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval() %> ;
var date = new Date();
var time = date.getTime();
if( (maxInactiveTime > 0) && ((time - lastAccessTime) > (maxInactiveTime * 1000))) {
     alert("Session TimedOut. Please Re-login!!!");
     return false;
else {
     alert("inside else true shud go");
     return true;
The code is working fine and blocking the popup. But I am not sure if this will be a correct fix.

>> then I get a completely blue screen.
That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the pro

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.
Jay

I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:
