I have an add on that keeps popping up called object browser. I have removed it several times but it keeps coming back. Any way to get rid of it for good?

I keep trying to remove it but it keeps coming back.

That's a potentially unwanted program. You can get rid of it by simply uninstalling the program, or using an anti-malware if all else fails.
First of all, try uninstalling the Object Browser program.
'''To uninstall the Object Browser program...'''
#Press the Windows Key+C simultaneously on your keyboard to bring up the Charms bar.
#Search for ''Programs and Features''.
#Click the ''Programs and Features'' search result.
#In ''Programs and Features'', find ''Object Browser'' and uninstall it from your computer.
#After uninstalling the program completely (and restarting your computer if you had to in order to complete the uninstallation), open Firefox, go to your Add-ons page, and remove the ''Object Browser'' add-on.
If that didn't solve your problem, try some anti-malwares.
'''To scan for Object Browser...'''
'''''ADW Cleaner'''''
#Download ADW Cleaner from its [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ website].
#Open the downloaded file to start ADW Cleaner.
#Scan for malware using the program.
#Clean any infections.
'''''Malwarebytes'''''
#Download Malwarebytes from [http://malwarebytes.org this link].
#Open the downloaded file to install the program.
#Upon completion of installation, run the program and scan for malware.
#Remove any detected threats.

  • When I close firefox, there are two annoying window underneath that I always have to close and they are always there again next time; how do I get rid of them for good?

    When I close Firefox, there are two underlying windows that I have to close every time. How do I get rid of them for good and prevent this from continuing to happen. Both windows were opened by me during viewing at some point, so they did originate from me.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

  • Is there any way to get rid of the audio message that I have unlimited minutes when I make a call? I want that 10 seconds of my life back :)

    When I make a call I get an audio message that I have unlimited minutes and then dial the number. Is there any way to get rid of that message? Because I really want to get back those 10 seconds back, Ha, Ha, not!

    Whoever thought this new search box GUI was a good idea was mistaken IMHO.
    I've used the method shown above to return it to the old constant icon/text display with instantly available drop down of my alternative chosen search engines. All back to how it was in the previous version. Yay!
    Displaying the chosen default search engine icon/text in the search box just seems a better and more sensible GUI feature to me than needing to hover over the box to show the same information (minus icon) . As for having to start entering search terms before the other search engine options become available - that is just plain ill conceived design.
    The old design is more user friendly and should be the default setting but if some users want the new GUI for the search box why not include that under Tools > Options?

  • Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

    s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message: 
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

    I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
    Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
    If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
    My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

  • My computer keeps telling me to authorize it, I have done so several times but it keeps telling me to

    I am trying to transfer movies I've purchased through iTunes from my Macbook Pro to my iPad. iTunes keeps telling me I need to authorize my computer to download the movies onto my iPad. I have "authorized" it several times, but each time I sync it, it continues to tell me to authorize my computer. How do I fix this problem?

    It may not be the computer that needs authorizing, but the iPad. Is your iPad using the same Apple ID as the computer on which you purchased the movies? On the iPad, go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and check the Apple ID shown there. If it's not the same Apple ID as the one used to purchase the movies, tap that Apple ID button on the iPad to sign out and then sign in with the correct Apple ID.

  • Yahoo installed a Yahoo tab in my Firefox toolbar that I DO NOT want there- how do I get rid of it for good?

    Yahoo took over my Firefox- help!
    About two weeks ago for some unknown reason Yahool basically took over my Firefox. All of a sudden it was my preferred search engine, Yahoo! TAB shows up in my toolbar (can't remove it) and in general it's been doing some goofy things. I swear I didn't give out any permission for this, but I hate it and it's driving me crazy (actually temp swithched back to Explorer). Tried uninstall and reinstall, but it's still there. Read somewhere that Yahoo hides it's files in hard to figure out places so it can't be deleted. Can anybody help me figure out how to get rid of Yahoo? (ESPECIALLY THE TOOLBAR TAB AT THE TOP) Many thanks!

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • My old Apple ID pops up on 2/7 devices. How do I get rid of it for good!?!? This has been occurring since we bought our iphone 5 and 5c.

    After I bought my Iphone 5, 5s, &amp; 5c all at different times. I go to update apps and it will show my old Apple ID. We have gone into all the settings and have removed the if from everywhere I can think of. Any suggestions.

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    thus, it appears that you have apps the need updates that were purchased for at least two different accounts.

  • Is there any way to get rid of the private feature? Or to store history while using that feature?

    I would like to be able to get rid of the private feature. It is too hard to manage kids browsing and this makes it all the more difficult. I would like to be able to get rid of this feature all together or at least be able to store the history while this feature is open. There should be some way to see the history.

    Sorry, the Mozilla developers didn't include a switch to turn Private Browsing off. Any hack that I have seen posted would affect the main security file and possibly cause a security risk (advice provided by a Mozilla developer). There is a Bug filed to disable Firefox's Private Browsing mode when Windows Vista and Win 7 Parental Controls are enabled. I made a comment in that Bug in Oct 2009 and provided a list of threads (in Dec 2009) from this support forum that discussed the requests from parents for either a switch to turn the feature off or compatibility with Windows Parental Control, The final result of that effort was a comment about the (small - "two per week") number of threads where this topic was discussed. There haven't been any comments or any progress made since last April toward fixing that Bug. ''Please note that not every Bug is a fault with Firefox, a good number of Bugs are requests for enhancement of existing features or for adding new features.'' <br />

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471658#c36
    IMO, don't let the kids use Firefox due to this Bug. Or install a good external Parental Control program that records browsing history, as the one that comes with Windows doesn't do as much in Firefox as it does in IE, because of this Bug <br />

  • My computer asks me to reboot prior to installation. I removed an earlier version. I have restarted my computer several times, but it keeps asking me to reboot. I cannot install 3.6.

    My previous version of Firefox would not update successfully. so I removed it from my computer. I was asked to reboot. I did. when I went to download the new version 3.6, apart from internet explorer trying to block it, it keeps asking me to reboot. The final screen, which will install, cannot be accessed. If I say, no I don't want to reboot, I cannot get anyfurther. If I reboot, the same thing happens again. Any ideas!

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I have upgraded to 3.613 several times but it keeps going back to 3.6. Crashes when I try to type in a new website.

    Upgraded version keeps reverting back to old version. Continually crashes if I try to go to a different website by typing in that website name. I get about 4 characters typed in and it crashes.

    Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
    From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
    Select Library from the drop down menu
    Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
    Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
    Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
    Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
    Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
    Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
    Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
    iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.
