I get ads on websites that aren't there when I use IE or a different computer.

When using Firefox on Facebook, I get ads that are all over the place on facebook and other websites I normally visit nearly daily. However, using Internet Explorer or other computers and visit the same websites, I don't get the ads issues. I've also had Facebook log in to my account and they don't see the ads on their end either. Therefore it must be in my computer side somewhere. I've tried to delete EVERYTHING involved with Firefox and tried to redownload it. But its not solving my issue. I've deleted cookies, history, temp files, everything, and nothing is getting it to work proper again. But again, works if I don't use Firefox or if I use a different computer. My 3 programs that search and destroy all spam, viruses, malware, adware, etc. are not solving my issue either. Please help.

I actually did one other thing I hadn't done yet....I had opened the "Add-ons" section of Firefox, noticed there was an add-on I actually never placed there, called something like "Shopanywhere.com" I believe. Once I disabled it, restarted Firefox, reopened the Add-ons, and then removed it. Restarted Firefox once more, now the ads are gone completely. Did another clean sweep with my 3 awesome adware/virus protection programs and have no more issues. Thanks for the help!

McCafee plus leaves a window about "secure search" on websites, it's not there when I use I.E..

It's a large box, it appears in many windows after using Firefox to access a website. If I close all windows and go back to my desktop, it remains there blocking my view of my icons.
I can't make it go away.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

I keep getting a file (pixel.cgi ) that wants to download when I use certain sites (Groupon/ Thomas Cook).

I keep getting a file (pixel.cgi ) that wants to download when I use certain sites (Groupon/ Thomas Cook). I have scanned my mac for virus but none can be found.

A CGI file usually runs a server side script with specific parameters and there is usually data appended to the link to specify that action.
It that GET or POST data is missing then you may get a download prompt to save the file instead.

I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content. You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?
