HT4650 Object browser adware removal for mac. HELP!!!

Hello,
I've been getting many popup ads and stuff on the internet and it's really been bothering me. Its really common in places such as youtube and other websites that I go to. I use chrome, if that helps.
This is what it looks like
I've looked it up and people who use windows can download programs such as "Adw Cleaner", "Junkware Removal Tool", and "Malware-bytes" but there are no download options for mac. Is there any programs for mac that can get rid of these or any other options? Please help, Thank you!!

That's what is in the first reply

    Using "Search Discussions" with the term "Help Viewer" you will lead you to numerous posts which refer to Troubleshooting Help Viewer by Dr. Smoke.

  • OpenFile fails in Word for Mac: "helper application missing"

    The OpenFile command in Word 2004 for Mac stopped working on my machine: it threw up am error message "Helper application not present" and froze Word. This was occasionally a real problem, since the same thing happened when trying to download a Word file from a website. But it was in general not critical, since I could work around it by clicking on files in Finder, or on the list of recent files at the foot of the File menu. I assumed that, when I updated, the problem would resolve itself. However, I have now updated Word 2004 to Word 2008; updated Tiger to Leopard; and finally migrated from my original Powerbook to a new iMac. However, the problem has not gone away (though the error message no longer appears). What can I do?

    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and completely unrelated to Microsoft Office.
    You should really consider posting issues with Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products as they would be focused more toward the issue than an Apple forum and there are Microsoft appointed MVPs there to assist.

  • TROUBLE WITH WD PASSPORT FOR MAC : HELP ME!!?

    When I plug my WD My Passport for Mac into my MacBook Pro, a message saying I hadn't ejected it correctly shows up and then my Mac freezes up with another message over the top of that saying I have to restart my computer? HELP?!

    Effectively you should find help on the WD sites.
    It can be something with the power (try another usb port), it can be formatted incorrectly, the smartware should not be installed (uninstall it), etcetera.
    Try following: before connecting the drive, open Diskutility and then connect. If Diskutility sees it before anything happens, click it and then click the "eject" button.
    Then disconnect and connect again.

  • Messenger for Mac Help!!  (I don't know if this is the right place to ask)

    Hi everyone.
    I have Messenger for Mac, and I think you know already but I've been trying to get rid of my messenger accounts at the log in screen and I've tried everything!!!! it's not working at all!!
    It's nothing like Windows computers with their msn and I don't know how to delete mine!!
    PLEASE HELP ME!
    Also, I have Mac OS X v. 10.5.5
    So I hope that helps.

    Rename each file to end in .rtf, and then open TextEdit. Save three new documents to your desktop with the same name as each file the Finder reports as being in use, and then overwrite the existing documents. Throw away the TextEdit files.

  • Users of Word for Mac:  Help on Two Issues!!

    I downloaded some fonts I wanted to use in my Word for Mac document. Download went fine and the fonts are happily nestled in the Fonts folder. However, when I open Word, they do not appear on the Font listing. Any thoughts as to how to get them over so I can use them?
    Also, I wanted to use the Fonts to create a logo that--ideally--would be a half circle of text over the design. Simple enough, I thought: just go into Toolbox and pull down the styles (like you can in Windows) and choose the style I want.
    No such luck (we are dealing with a Mac here so everything is special) but suddenly a "special styles" toolbox appeared with exactly what I wanted--the ability to format a font to a 180' half circle, mirror image text and some other stuff that seemed interesting!
    When I went back to the document to format the text the "special styles" toolbox disappeared, never to be found again. Sigh...
    Any ideas? Oh, yes, there is a 180' in "Word Art" but I can't get the downloaded fonts into there, so that isn't really a solution.

    Okay, here are the details: Word for Mac 2008 Ver. 12.2.8
    Yes, I did post to the MS Forums.
    Still no answer from either MS or MAC forums.
    Sorry, but this doesn't strike me at that tough a question, hence the *****. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who uses Word for Mac and I'm equally sure I'm not the first one to download a font that didn't load into Word for Mac. The answer is out there somewhere....

  • Excel for Mac help

    I run the latest version of Microsoft Office for Mac. A few weeks ago I noticed that when I went to open an existing Excel file it said it did not recognize the format. It only happens with a few certain Excel files, not all of them.
    I went and created a new spreadsheet last week, made changes, and saved it. Now when I open it is says: "file format not valid." I saved it as an .xls originally and now it won't let me open it. I really need the info on the sheet.
    Any ideas???

    As you know the file formats of Office 2008 are not backwards compatible with previous versions of Office unless you download a converter of some sort from Microsoft.
    I suggest you investigate this on Microsoft's website.

  • Voice over and windows messenger for Mac help

    Hello,
    I am using VoiceOver and would like to use Windows Messenger for Mac but I can't seem to get VoiceOver to read the contact list for messenger when I use the control-option-shift-down arrow to interact with the contents of the window it skips the contants list and goes straight to image behind it.
    Is there a way to have VO read the contacts list in windows messenger or is it just not a compatiable program for VO?

    Here is the wikipedia article on aMSN. The article also includes a link to the aMSN website. It is a multi-platform messenger application that interoperates with Microsoft Messenger.

  • Problem with Adware - Firefox for MAC

    I keep getting adware pop ups from cpxinteractive adware. Anyone figure out how to remove these?
    I'm running Firefox on my Intel based MAC. Firefox version 5.0. MAC OS X 10.5.1.
    Is Safari better at blocking adware and spyware programs?
    Help!?
    Thanks, Jim

    Hi Jimmy
    Is Safari better at blocking adware and spyware programs?
    Not necessarily. I call it about even.
    A good Safari add-on for effectively blocking sites/ads is PithHelmet.
    For issues affecting Firefox (latest version is Beta 3), please post here.

  • Preview in browser internet explorer for mac

    I use a Mac running Leopard and use Safari as my web browser.
    When I try to "preview in browser" in DW, Internet explorer is not
    available. Can I run it on mac and where do a get a compatible
    version--and preferably without spending a lot of $.

    internet explorer for the mac hasn't been supported by MS for
    years. Honestly, it's not worth even looking at it.
    To view your work in IE for win users, consider getting
    something like VMWare Fusion or Parallels or just simply using
    BootCamp (which comes with Leopard), to install Windows XP/Vista
    onto your Mac.

  • ITunes for Mac, help may not display subjects.

    Most of the time help gives a message, The requested subject cannot be displayed.  You must be connected to the internet.  Everything else gets the internet okay.
    Sometimes restarting iTunes makes it work, often not.
    Apple care has no answer for this other than "trash iTunes and install a new copy".  Changes nothing.
    Mac restart may get it working, or not.
    I found that typing a word in the help search box and hitting enter will, most of the time but not always, cause help to display a bar titled Connect to the internet.  Click that and subjects will display as they should.  So far that has worked every time.
    Another thing, when bringing up help from the menu bar, the help window shows a spinner titled "loading help content", or something like that.  When it does that, subjects will display.  When it doesn't work that "loading" and spinner doesn't show up.
    I have two Macs both of which behave the same.  iTunes for Windows has not had this problem for me.
    Anyone know of a better fix or work around?

    Chris CA,
    You say:
    Your problem is an OS issue (Help) not an iTunes issue.
    Post over here ->https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
    This solved my question 
    This helped me
    However:  All other app help work fine, only having problems with iTunes help.
    I spent some time testing them.

  • ISync for Mac - Help please!

    I have a Nokia N70 and am trying to update my contacts from my Address Book. I have up-to-date OSX 10.4.10 and iSync 2.4 and the phone is being recognised, so a good start! My problem is that my updated Address Book entries are not being transferred, somehow an old version of my Address Book is being used by iSync.
    I've tried restarting the Mac, clearing all contacts from my phone and sync-ing again (repeatedly), but I still get the contacts from the old version of Address Book loaded into the phone.
    I'm not a Mac expert, can anyone smarter than me help please?
    Thanks for your time.
    MacAndy
    PS Any tips on useful software for making the N70 otherwise more compatible with music and any other areas would be very welcome.

  • Msn messenger for mac help????

    when sending files, the transfer is considerably slower on my mac using mac messenger than if i were on a windows pc on windows messenger sending files
    any reasons or suggestions for this? how to resolve this???
    this is a long problem of mine and i would much appreciate ANY help

    Since Messenger is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on Mac/Windows compatibility.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • Internet browser of choice for Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    Having trouble with Yahoo mail, says I need to update my browser. But when I run Software Update on my MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB memory (running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, Safari 5.1.7 installed), it says my software is up to date. So what Internet browsers do some of you with similar machines run?

    I use Firefox, becasue I never put in the time to learn how Safari controls temporary/permanent cookie storage.
    Firefox also has a large selection of add-ons to prevent javascript running or "tracking links" inside web pages, etc.
