I have the ad blocker on. Why won't it won't stop the Mozilla ads?

I want >NO< Mozilla ads. Can't you can't arrange that? Please! I've already been working to waste far more attention on this than I should have. >NO< Mozilla ads should be the default, not an automatic waste of time.
This problem started with your latest version. If it can't be stopped with this version, may I please have the old one back?
One thing your decision-makers don't seem to realize is forcing time grabs like this on customers ANNOYS them.
Moreover, Mozilla should pay its volunteers for having to take the bleep for its inappropriate decisions.

At the moment, you are the only one. Please run
most or all of the programs below.

Every time I click on a web page an advertisement or MAC Keeper page opens up. I have pop-up blocker on. How do I make this stop?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

I updated to Firefox 4 and now I don't seem to have the Mozilla weather program, which I had before. Can't remember the name of the weather program.

I can't remember the name of the Mozilla weather program that was on my computer, but it's no longer there now that I've updated to Firefox 4.0.1. I don't know how to get it back!

You ''may'' have created a customized Google home page. Try this address and when you find your customized page, you can make it your home page:

Some of my desktop documents now have the Mozilla logo on them & when I open the doc "new tab" keeps running across the top of the page

Once I made Firefox my default browser, some of the documents saved on my desktop have the Firefox logo on them. When I opened the document, the top of the window has all of these "new tab" quickly and continuously running across the top, up to 131 before it stopped. So, how do I remove the logo from all of my documents?

If there is currently no file handler application that handles PDF files then the Firefox updater/installer registers Firefox as the default application to handle PDF files and thus they get a Firefox icon (Bug 452254).
You can right-click a PDF file in Windows Explorer and use the open with dialog to change the default application to the Adobe Reader or your preferred application to handle PDF file.
If the icon doesn't change to the icon of that application then you may have to change the icon on the desktop via other means.

I know I have a virus.. Why won't safari accept my downloading of the anti-virus app? What do I do?

How can I download a anti-virus app?

First, what is the problem you are having that makes you believe you have malware? Be aware that, in my experience, the vast majority of people who believe they have malware on a Mac actually do not.
Second, what do you mean that Safari won't "accept" downloading an anti-virus app? What are you trying to download, and from where, and what specifically happens when you try?
Finally, note that there's a lot of bad anti-virus software out there. You need to read my Mac Malware Guide to learn more about the threats and how to protect yourself, and if you choose to use anti-virus software at the end of all this, you should use one of the programs it recommends.

Hi Amish,
I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

Keep getting a sign stating that I must have quicktime to play my videos when I already have quicktime downloaded. So why won't the videos play?

I downloaded the newest version of the itunes, but I had to delete the old one and quicktime. So after I downloaded the new itunes I downloaded the Quicktime 7 so I can play my videos, but I get a message stating "This movie requires Quicktime, which is installed but failed to initialize. Uninstall quicktime and reinstall it." I've done it twice. I also get a message stating "itunes.exe has been to run in compatability mode for an older version of windows. For best results, turn off combatability mode for itunes before you open it." The system that I have is XP and it's on the list of programs that it functions with.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

I have a gray screen and why won't it load my OS?

Ok this is the deal I have been at this for three days. I ran a disk verification and told me that my hard drive disk needed reparied. I tried to repair it said to get as much stuff off that I can disk can't be repaired (it gave me a gray screen, with apple logo, and a bar at the bottom). Since Maverick just came out I thought I would get that OS from another mac I have and make a bootalbe flash drive. I have read how to do this did it manually and did it with third party software. When I start the mac and hit option key the only thing it showed was my mac HD and lion recovery. So I thought well I would just recover with lion then try bootalbe flash drive again. So I erased my Mac HD and then went into reinstall lion. It got all the way to the last ten min and flashed an error (did not give me an error code, just told me to start over. So I need to know what I am doing wrong or why the usb drive is not showing up with the maverick install. If you could help me out I would appreciate it very much (I have never had so much problem with a mac and I have had one since the 80's. Here are the sites I have already gone to and tried.

I hope someone can help me out there. I have also did all the apple support with the gray screen of death and I did and was able to retrive a lot of my files back. I also erased my hard drive and did another check and it said it was fine.

I forgot to add I have a macbook pro late 2011 edtion and of course I was running OSX Mountian Lion (10.8.5)

I have a new MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message (from all different programs) that they would like to access the keychain "login". I have run keychain repair, and it won't stop!

I have a new MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message "Mail would like to use your keychain "login". How can I make this stop? I have run the keychain repair utility.

Hi,
With the Finder as the Front app go to the Go Menu > GO to Folder.
Copy and Paste the bold text below into the text field
~/Library/Keychains
Highlight the Keychain.
Use the CMD + i Keys together (Keystrokes for Get Info from the File Menu)
In the Info Panel that appears check the Ownership and Permission bit at the bottom.
Example Pic
Unlock Padlock
Check your Shortmname Appears (the (Me) one).
Open the Cogwheel icon
If it is Greyed Out to "Make "Shortname (Me)" owner then you are the Owner.
Check you have Read and Write Permissions.
You may need to check the Ownership and Permission on the ~/Library itself (you can do the same Get Info on Folders as well as Files)
If you don't Own it then, when you have changed that also Apply to Contents.

I have tried on two occassions to downlaod firefox 4 and it will not download, I am using a dell desk top windows xp pro and have firefox 2 already installed, why won't version 4 download?

When the screen prompts me to run the download program, everything seems to be going right, but once the program goes through it's paces, I'll check the firefox version in my program files and it still says I only have firefox version 2.

The file version is 4.0.1, but the product version is 2.0.1. See screenshot.
You already have v4.0.1 installed.
You might want to consider disabling the Zango plugin you have installed because this app will likely download other spyware without your knowledge. See this Wikipedia article on the subject: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zango_%28company%29 Zango]
You can disable it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins. You'll find it in there.

Mail won't stop checking some accounts

Anyone have this happen before? Mail won't stop checking a couple accounts I have. They are accounts we use every single day, run off our own server. They will check fine on other macs, but not this iMac starting a few hours ago. I have rebuilt the boxes, deleted all mail from the servers and updated to 10.5.4 just in case. Still the same thing.
I have to force quit, then once restarted it will grab new e-mails before it craps out and just sits there spinning on accounts again.
Ideas? Thx.

I'm experiencing the same issue with one of my POP accounts as well.
I've tried the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu as well as rebuilding the Apple Mail Envelope Index, but it's still attempting to sync.
Has anyone found a resolution to this issue?

I have the ad blocker on. Why won't it won't stop the Mozilla ads?
