How to unhack a browser

My fire-fox browser is hacked. When I open a tab to search a web site it redirects me to different sites and I am getting POP up tabs to advertisement sites. I have tried several types of malware removal programs and they find nothing. I am using windows XP service pack 2 and the version is ..[ Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 ].. Please help me remove this problem I dont want to use any other browser because this is so much faster and easier to use then IE Please help Cork.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

If you can't fix it with the above listed scanners then you need to ask advise on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the Popups_not_blocked article.

How can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?

Hi ,
how can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?When we configured security in web.xml , during the first request the container is asking for the authentication credentials once they are provided it go's on. but when the user gives a fresh request from the second window within the same browser that time it is not asking for authentication. How can we overcome this.Is there anything to do with server configurations?
How can we make the container no to keep the things or act like session?

Ya... I am taking a small example need not happen always but a kind of possibility i am thinking off.
once the user sign out and just left without closing the browser and a friend (suppose not a good friend ... just kidding...) of that user may open the same jsp or file .This time the security is breached. If that feature or property exists....
I know what you might say ... the user will log-out before leaving where a programer might invalidate the session at the time of log out.
Consider the case of a bad Programing or just a programer might forget to invalidate,At that time as a application administrator how can he solve that issue.
Thanks.......

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. User clicks button
2. Save As dialog displays
3. User chooses location
4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
Background:
I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
Concern:
1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
FYI:
I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
Yes but that's only part of it. Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
Yes.
<?php
/* This short script forces a file download.
 For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
 You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
 with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
 Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
 file on your server.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
// the filename
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
readfile($Path2File);
?>
Name this file zip2download.php.
Add a link to your HTML page:
<a href="zip2download.php">Download Zip</a>

how do i open browser in java application ? ( for show javascript in java application)

You can run any program from java by doing

The real question is why would you want to.
I would suggest you rethink whether running Javascript from Java is a good idea.

How to reinstall safari browser in my emac power G4 running classic?

how to fix my start-up not open classic and how to reinstall safari browser?

There is no Classic version of Safari. The earliest version of Safari came out in 2003 and could run on Mac OS X 10.2. In order to run Safari and Mac OS 9 side by side, you need Mac OS X 10.4.11 or earlier installed to have Classic.
Mac OS X 10.3 was the first to include Safari prebundled.
Your 10.4 installer discs include Safari, which you can extract with http://www.charlessoft.com/ Pacifist.
Your eMac installer discs include the restore application to reinstall Classic environment:

How to disable private browsing in ios7

How to disable private browsing in ios7
On an iPad

Hi Apache Mal,
That's a mystery to me because it seems to work on at least some iPads! My experience is with iOS 7 on an iPad 2 and it has the private button right down in the lower left corner of a new tab window. It shows as a little light-blue box with the word 'Private' on it. I don't know why your experience is different. Thanks for letting us know.

How to maximize a browser window?

Can't seem to figure out how to make a Safari window fill the entire screen.
Or how to vertically or horizontally tile Safari windows.
Or a keyboard shortcut to maximize a window I'd hidden previously.
Or how to get my browsing history to display in a convenient always-on-screen tab. Or even how to access the History dropdown menu without using the mouse constantly, which used to save me so much time and hand/arm movement.
...All things that were remarkably simple in IE and that I took for granted until a day or two ago.

Hello par:
Sorry, incidentally, for my snippy post. It was 11:30 last night, and I think I was tired. Apple users who have been through the bad and good times tend (me too) to be a bit defensive (and yes, superior) to any comparison of Apple software to the stuff from the behemoth from Washington. As a bit of background information, Microsoft used to support a version of IE for the Mac. They dumped that about three years ago. Many of us (me too) hunted for options and I fell in love (figuratively speaking) with Safari.
I use Firefox once in awhile as an alternate browser. There are a very few web sites that do no play well with Safari. The developers either do not write to standards or, worse yet, use code that is Microsoft-specific. Firefox is pretty friendly and has a feature that, when you first install it, allows you to import all of your bookmarks.
F9 allows you to show all of the open windows at once (ones that are hidden under other windows.
F10 brings all windows (except the active one) to the front.
F11 hides all open windows.
I am the world's slowest typer, so I use the mouse extensively (for me, oddly enough, it is faster).
One nice thing you will find about software written for Apples (OS X) is that code is not shotgunned all over your system (unlike Windows). When you wish to uninstall something without an "uninstaller," a simple "find" will locate all the pieces of the program. Then dragging to trash dumps it. By the by, while I am giving gratuitous advice, do not delete any system software unless you are sure it will not harm other parts of OS X.
I am like you in the sense that I avoid cluttering up my iMacs with a whole bunch of code. In my case, (touching wood) I have not had a software problem for a couple of years. Apple's pre-release testing has significantly improved.
P.S. Ask away if you have questions in the future. You will find, I think, that this is the best on-line community anywhere - and virtually everyone is a volunteer.

You can simply say "I want an animation to play before it decides which page to load" and we'd get it. So you want to show your logo animation.
Use the tutorial link I gave you and look at the code. It is a full example of browser detection using both actionscript and javascript. ActionScript needs JavaScript to get the information on what browser it is. All of the information and code examples are there to show you how to detect the browser.
Spanish translation:
Usted puede simplemente decir "yo quiero una animación para jugar antes de que decida lo que se cargue la página" y que sería para nosotros. Así que usted quieremostrar su animación de la insignia.
Utilice el enlace tutorial que te di y mirar el código. Se trata de un ejemplo completo dela detección del navegador utilizando tanto ActionScript y JavaScript. ActionScriptnecesita JavaScript para obtener la información del navegador que es. Todos los ejemplos de la información y el código están ahí para mostrar la forma de detectar el navegador.
