I get warning from Avast that hxxp://208.91.197.132/bthome/BlackthorneB2Shade_GB.bmp is part of Firefox and that this is a problem.
Whenever I am shopping on Ebay, I get this message:
hxxp://208.91.197.132/bthome/BlackthorneB2Shade_GB.bmp
A warning pops up from Avast that says that it's part of Firefox, that it is malicious, and that Avast prevented it from causing a problem. When I tried Googling this, I got strange URLs in other languages and not ONE in English.
I am running Windows 7 and all the latest updates on a 6-month old Toshiba laptop with Intel processor. I am running Avast 2014.9.0.2021 and it says "Everything is Fine."
All help would be appreciated
I am glad you also posted on Avast's forums, when I did some research on the topic not much came up either.
If this keeps happening, maybe run a virus scan? It looks like you have ad block, so you can also block the script in Firefox on the page. However that only seems like a temporary solution.
Try these, running many may catch something another scanner did not: Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/disinfection/5350 Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

TS3992 I'm getting messages from Apple that iCloud backup is full but it shows I have 3GB left
I just started getting emails from Apple that I won't be able to send or receive messages thru my account because I have exceeded my storage capacity. When I go to the iCloud settings and go to manage my storage I see I have 3.1GB remaining. I called Apple and they said I need to clear out my folders in mail. I told her it says I only have 376mb of mail in my backup. She told me I needed to clean out all of my folders, which I pain stakingly did but I get an email this morning telling me I have the same problem with storage but I still show over 3GB left in my storage. Has anyone run into this? What am I supposed to do? I feel they are making me upgrade before I need to.
I just got the same e-mail. My account seems to be sending and receiving emails without issue. I think it was an error. I received a warning and an exceeds e-mail in the same minute, but am only using 20% of my allocation.
I'm not giving it much credence. -
I am getting message from MacPro that my start up disc is full - but I can't find this "start up disc" and can't figure out what to do to help situation. I've been making a number of imovies, which generates junk files and material that I should toss in the trash, but it is not clear to me what items I can toss and which items I can't toss. Can you help? Using the imovie "help" support the system showed me under the menu item "go" where the "start up disc" should be - but that wasn't actually available on my menu! Thanks for your help!

I'm experiencing a similar problem with an LG Flatron monitor which my MBP no longer recognizes. I've tried installing all the updates listed above but have not been succesful. Everytime I get a message saying that this software is not supported on my system. Can anyone tell me why I can't install the updates?
Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

When trying to open a PDF format using Adobe XI I get an error message that there's a problem opening the document (57)
Hi chasore,
Are you still facing this issue?
Is this issue happening with all the documents you have. If yes, i would suggest try uninstall and reinstall. Or if the documents are located on some shared drive try to copy them on local machine and test again.

When I open I Tunes on my lap top I get a message saying that this version of I tunes is corrupted and I need to re install. If I re install will I lose my music library already created in I tunes?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

i never got this message until i upgraded to firefox5. it also gives warnings about excessive cpu usage
Windows puts up messages that this is too much - also it crashes, gets stuck and moves like a very slow turtle
I am trying to remove the McAfee toolbar, having uninstalled McAfee, the toolbar remains - I suspect it is intruding space and time wise as I have AVG already
