Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Here's the example:
WING

MAJORITY
Thanks

If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
That particular page should resemble the following:
The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.
Try it:

When I open a web page I want a new tab to a potential new page to pop up so I can open another page without opening another broweer

On the old firefox, when I opened a web page I could click on an unopened tab to open a new page. Now I have to go back and click on the browser again to open an entirely different page.

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if this didn't help.

Can email be kept open in the background when you open a web page?

Can email be kept open in the background when you open a web page?
Thanks, that helped.

If you mean using the mail app - yes it can be kept open. You do not have the multiple open windows feature in iOS like on a computer so you still have to navigate back to the mail app via double tapping the home button or by swiping to switch apps if using multitasking gestures.

Firefox opens ok, but crashes when I open a web page

I upgraded Shockwave and Flash today, and since then, Firefox will crash when I open a web page. Firefox itself opens fine, but opening Gmail or Facebook causes it to crash with a windows error saying it has crashed.
Im using...
Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7
Flash player V10 plugin
Shockwave V11.6

This is very consistent, happens within minutes? In that case, I suggest this test:
To see whether one of your extensions is the culprit, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

When I open a web page, the page is grayed out.

When I open a web page, the page opens, but is completely grayed out and does not respond to touch. When I touch the icon that inidicates the number of open web pages (from previous visits), it does not respond. What is the problem? It was working yesterday, and my internet connection is fine.

Using the Motorola Atrix w/ the laptop dock, when I open a web page with Firefox I have to hit "Ctl +" three times to make the page fill the screen. Is there any way to set up so pages open the right size?

I'm using the Motorola Atrix smart phone with the Laptop Dock. When I open a web page with Firefox I have to hit "Ctl +" three times to make the page fill the screen. Is there any way to set up the Firefox browser to open the web pages the right size in the first place?

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension:

Or the NoSquint extension:

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db

Relaunch Safari and test.

Can't get rid of the # when adding text

I'm trying to edit a document in Indesign. I started by doing a Pre-Flight to correct errors and have one left I can't get rid of.
Originally the Text Error was for a font that ID could not find so I changed the font to what was already being used for other text - an included font - Charlamagne Std Regular
When trying to type text into a text box the type jumps to just above the text box where the pound sign (#) sits.
When entering type, even after positioning the curser inside the text box, it jumps the text to right before the pound sign, on top of the text box, and adds a pink box under the text.
I have attached a screen shot to show this. How to I get rid of the pound sign and pink box to be able to simply type some text in the text box (that the pink box is in)? Thanks!

@dkg62 – to make clear what's going on, select the text frame and show us another screenshot.
There are at least four cases where you can get a text like that. All cases imply, that the font you'd like to use is missing. I simulated this by formatting text with a font weight that is not available by a character style.
1. The most likely case: There is baseline shift applied; here in my case 9pt.
All other cases are academical, because the pink highlighting is aligned with the text:
2. Text frame options, baseline set to a fixed value (zero in this case)
3. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is just the standard default. You can see a second #-end of story sign inside the text frame.
4. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is set to fixed (zero in this case). The second #-sign inside the text frame is shifted above because of the fixed value of the baseline option of the text frame options. And obscured by the pink highlighting.

X6 how can i get rid of toolbar when i load camera...

when i try to use the camera there is a toolbar on the right hand side- flash, options etc- how can i get rid of this??
have tried tapping and sliding it......................
thanks

I may be wrong and if I am I stand corrected but as far as I know you cannot get rid of the side toolbar. Much the same as you cannot get ride of the toolbar on compact digital and DSLR cameras.

Can't get rid of ads popping up and open up every few minutes.

Every few minutes i get pop up ads and/or windows that open and play music or videos. I can't get rid of this and it's using all of my internet and slows it down a lot.

You should check with a mal- / adware scanner. 
There are several scanners for example Malwarebytes or CCleaner. 
I myself like and use Malwarebytes, see for info and free download https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Can't get rid of Ads in Safari or Chrome

I have a 13" late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display and I let my brother use it to try and mod his GTA V so he downloaded a whole bunch of programs and files and didn't bother to look at the options so now I have a bunch of ads whenever I use Safari or Google Chrome and I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of them. For example when I went to type in my password to log into the apple communities, I was brought to another website. I deleted all the junk he downloaded and I've uninstalled Chrome multiple times. I am currently beta testing OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Any suggestions to remove the ads?

I called Apple and they found the solution. Open finder and in the top bar of the screen hit go. Go into the computer and click Macintosh HD and open the folder named Library. Find the folders LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons. Go into both folders and delete anything that may be suspicious. Mine was com.vsearch.www or something like that. Empty the trash bin and restart your computer. That should fix the problem.
