I "allowed" Java Deployment Toolkit, it made me upgrade java, and now there are ads everywhere

I was doing homework on masteringgenetics and there was this box in the top left hand corner that said to allow java deployment toolkit because some of the content on the website needed it so I clicked "always allow". This then took me to java's website to update java and I was gullible so I did. Now there are random ads on most websites I go to and if I stay on there it takes me to some random website. I've tried disabling all plugins, uninstalling java, uninstalling then reinstalling firefox, but it still happened. It doesn't happen when I use google chrome so I think it's a firefox thing (actually now it's happening on chrome too).

Oracle may be bundling other software with a Java update, so always be careful when installing or updating programs like Java and Flash and look carefully for any check boxes to installs such unwanted extras.
You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs (sort by installed time) to see if any suspicious software shows up.

    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching your billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations."

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • I just downloaded adobe and java and now when  I browse i keep getting about trusting the website

    I just downloaded Adobe and Java and now when I use Safari I keep getting a notice that the website is blocked .
    I am not  sure if I installed these applications correctly. Can I un-install them?

    You can't install either of those on an iPad.

  • Just updated Java, and now Firefox doesn't even start. Tried rebooting, resinstalling, and still nothing. Sadly, had to resolve to IE... any suggestions?

    After clicking on the firefox icon, the cursor changes briefly to the "running" mode, but nothing happens afterwards. If I open the task manager, Firefox.exe is running, but I can't use it.
    Please help!!! I love Firefox, and can't stand having to use IE!!

    I think I figured out Firefox, I went under Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox.
    I only have one account on my computer. Honestly I don't even really know how multiple accounts work. I've never played around with it. I already allowed Java - should I disable it?

  • Imported po has been done and down payment made last F.Y and now want cance

    Please help me for below scenario.
    Our client was created Imported PO and down payment made in last F.Y and now some reasons they want to cancel the PO and create new domestic PO with same PR.
    But down payment was cleared and accounts are audited they don't want to reversal the down payment.
    How it is possible to cancel the PO without reversal of down payment.
    and i reversed the DPR remain down payment is same and tried to cancel the PO line item but it is showing below error.
    Diagnosis
    You have attempted to delete or block an item that is not yet closed.
    An item is regarded as closed if:
    o no GR blocked stocks exist
    o all down (advance) payments made to date have been taken into
    account
    o the quantity delivered is the same as the quantity invoiced
    o all delivery costs have been taken into account
    o the quantity delivered is the same as the quantity issued (only in
    the case of stock transport orders).
    Please provide me the posible solutions urgently.
    Best Regards
    Ranganadh

    Dear Ranganadh,
    For closing/ cancelling the PO, main prerequisite is "There should be no open transactions against that line item."
    So unless you reverse/ cancel the downpayment, you can not delete the line in PO

  • Does Firefox 8 allow java and google tool bar???

    '''Will fire fox 8 address the problem of enable java console for scrips and google tool bar ''' If not we wish to remain with fire fox 7
    we were able to enable those extensions thank you.. [email protected]

    Yes, The Norton Toolbar does support Firefox 11 ([http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-11-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/679053 http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-11-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/679053]). Unfortunately, the Google Toolbar was discontinued by Google, so upon upgrading, it may or may not work. [http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html].
    You can however read [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/google-toolbar-not-compatible-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/google-toolbar-not-compatible-firefox], which offers several alternatives to the Google toolbar so then you don't have to continue running an insecure version of Firefox for one extension.

  • Are changes made in Yosemite mostly cosmetic or there are great performance difference over Mavericks

    I find that Yosemite is availabe as free upgrade for the Maverick users. Should I upgrade to the new OS X or shall continue with my existing OS. Shall I lose in terms of performance in that case. From the review it appears to me that changes made in Yosemite are mostly cosmetic in nature -- what the experts say about this.

  • My monitor made a weird noise and now it won't turn on.

    What's up guys, how is everyone doing?!
    So i walk into  to my room today and I hear a weird, dull buzzing noise coming from my 27" Thunderbolt Display. I then proceed to turn on my MacBook Pro, which it is connected to and the noise gets much much louder! i checked to see if it was the speakers... It wasn't...
    so I unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in.... Now it wont even turn on..... The charger port doesn't work either so I'm guessing that it's getting no power at all.
    Has as anyone else faced this problem? What should I do? Please help!

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
