  • How to stop popups and adware

    How to remove Only Search.com from homepage and stop popups and adware?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    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 string of characters, 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 it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string 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 string 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 string 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; it doesn't vary. 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 stop popup window using phone layout for display - Responsive HTML5, RH11

    Hello,
    I'm using the new Responsive HTML5 output in RH11. For some of my hyperlinks, I want to use a pop-up to display the linked topic. In the output, the pop-ups work, but they are automatically displayed using the phone layout, with the associated navigation buttons at the bottom, the help title, and so on. I don't want this - I just want a plain popup window. So, I tried to add a Screen Profile, set to 400 x 500 pixels exactly (thinking that this is bigger than a phone, but smaller than a tablet). I also added a corresponding Screen Layout. In the popup properties, I set the popup size to be 400 x 500 pixels. I guess there is something else I need to do to get this to work... but I don't know what that is. (I tried creating a new Window on the Project Set-up tab, and I tried creating a different master page. These things didn't work.)
    Can anyone tell me if what I'm trying to do with these popups is just a bad idea and it won't work well with certain browsers?
    Thanks!
    Alexandra

    I am confused as the responsive layouts are one size fits all, that is the point of them. You have one layout that morphs according to window size.
    Screen Profiles are only used within Multiscreen HTML5 layouts where you can map screen profiles to different adaptive screen layouts, such as desktop, tablet and phone. That mapping does not apply to responsive layouts.

  • How to stop popups after each field

    This is probably a really dumb question...
    When I test a form, for each field after leaving the field it brings up a box with the past entries in it. So it takes 2 key strokes to
    leave each field.
    Unfortunately not knowing the name of this feature it's hard to figure out what it is so I can turn it off.
    This happens for number and text fields.
    I don't think the users would ever want this. If they did it'd be in only a few cases.
    Anyone know how to turn it off?

    Hi,
    to change that behavior open the page attributes of your page. Go to section "Security" and set "Form Auto Complete" to No.
    Regards

  • How to STOP Acrobat Pro DC popups?

    I purchased Acrobat Pro in 2014. Now I keep getting Acrobat Pro DC popups. When I followed the instructions from the forum and clicked the button to "license" the software (that is already licensed), the number was not recognized.  How to stop popups?

    Hey [email protected],
    Since you are using an Acrobat license, you cannot use the same serial key to activate DC version.
    Please refer the following link to disable those pop ups:

    Hope that helps.

  • Popups on safari and chrome

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Having an odd issue. Frequently, when I go to Safari, I see a popup that goes away in a few seconds. Looks almost like an app download, but disappears in a hurry and then goes to site I was last visiting. I'm stumped how to fix (popups disabled, etc)

    Having an odd issue. Frequently, when I go to Safari, I see a (what appears to be) popup that goes away in a few seconds. Looks almost like an app download, but disappears in a hurry and then goes to site I was last visiting. I'm stumped how to fix (popups disabled, etc.)... Goes away so quick I'm not even sure what it's about...

    Thanks for the update! Next, and this is like a last step for me, but I would quit Safari one more time, then clear all the Safari data from the phone with this info and then test it out again:
    Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Clear information from your device
    To clear your history and cookies from Safari in iOS 8, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Clear History and tap Clear Cookies and Data.
    To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.

  • How to stop the Company Code popup window in MIRO!

    Hi,
    When User logs in the system and enters into the MIRO transaction, he is asked to enter the Company Code first in order to proceed further. I know that once you enter the company code then the system does not ask it to enter again during that login, however, it will asks again whenever User login the system again!
    Can someone tell that how to stop this Company Code popup window in MIRO, so that the system should not ask for the Comp Code whenever User logs in and enters into MIRO? I think there are some entries maintained in the User Master for this!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It is Necessary for the user to enter the company code for which he need to process the Invoice.
    First think is if the user knows ,that he is only going to do for one company code.then
    in the T code SU3.
    In the parameter TAB
    you can make the Default value for the parameter ID BUK as your Comany Code value ( Eg 1000)
    so that when ever the user does the MIRO ,it comes with that company code only.
    and if he want to do for another comapany code ,he has to use the option of Switching the comapny code.
    so this is user dependent and has to be made for all users.
    Note .the above setting works only you have entered saved and logged off and log in again.
    also ,this value gets defaulted you all the comapny codes in all screen.
    Hope so it helps.
    Regards
    Anjanna.

  • How to stop safari on ios7 from remembering history?

    How to stop safari on ios7 from remembering history?
    I hate to continually delete my history. Is there a way to stop it or set it to delete it on its own every day?

    Hey Bigchins!
    I have an article here that can address your question for you. The feature you are looking for is called private browsing, and it is explained here:
    To enable or disable Private Browsing, turn Private Browsing on or off.
    Private Browsing in iOS 5 protects private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari doesn't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
    Note: While Private Browsing is enabled, the Safari bars appear black or dark instead of blue or gray.

    I have tried unchecking the "Automatically check for updates" in the Software Update control panel. Of course, then you have to remember to check manually periodically for security updates etc. So far, the annoying banners seem to have stopped, but maybe just because I have not waited long enough for them to come back.

  • How do I stop popups from coming up I have it checked in the box already but still having problems

    How do I stop popups from coming up? I have checked the box for popups already.

    My computer is running slower also! The popups are ads & it says hide ad & when I do it opens it up.
    If these ads have a black border on one side with a square "Hide Ad" button with an 'X' in it, then you are infected with the Downlite adware, at least. You may have more than one piece of adware installed.
    If the instructions in the Adware Removal Guide that Kappy referred you to are too tough to follow, that page also has a link to an Adware Removal Tool that will automatically remove Downlite and anything else for you. If you don't want to trust some app that a random guy online referred you to (which is perfectly understandable), the manual instructions will do the job just as well... you could always have a tech-savvy friend help you follow them.
