I have the bizcoaching virus. It's only a problem in firefox. I'm on a mac. I can't get rid of it. There's nothing related in exts. or plug ins to delete.

There's a lot of info of destroying the virus on a pc, but can't find equivalent for mac.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

There is a particularly intrusive BMW app advert that pops up when playing Words with Friends that I can't get rid of. There doesn't appear to be an exit option (most unethical). Any suggestions on how to get rid of the advert out ther?

How Do I Get Rid Of The "Other" Data Stored On My iPad

I have a Yahoo search bar acting like an App tab that I can't get rid of. There is no option to unpin when I right click on it.

I have a yahoo search bar which was installed during a download and installation of SIW.exe a system information application from http://gtopala.com/. It was the freeware version which is add based software. However I didn't expect that the search function would be such a nusance and interfere with Firefox's functions.
The search bar is acting like a App tab that I can't move or get rid of. Ther is no option to unpin the object when I right click on the bar or to change it in any way using the 'group your tab' function to the right of the tab tool bar.

Reply: Cor-el > Excellent!! Thank You. In Tools, Add Ons, Extensions there was a Default Tab enntry which was the culprit. Am running W7 so the XP Tools, Options, Advanced , Use Hardware acceleration when available, wasn't of much help here, however I did fix a problem on another computer running XP with that same fix. Thank You very much! HD

When I am using Premiere elements 13 I get a message that pops up "that there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive", this also happened 3 months ago How can I get rid of this again?

When I am using Premiere Elements 13 I get a message that pops up "There is no disk in the drive" I click on it and it keeps coming back "very annoying", but about three months ago it happened to me and I was told to change the file name from OldFilm.AEX to OldFilm.AEXold. Well now the file is back in Folder OldFilm.AEX. Here is a screen shot the files are highlighted.What should I do now to correct this once and for all, or can I? Thank you for your time.

I would do another rename to disable or just delete all the OldFilm.AEX and OldFilm.AEXOLD in that NewBlue Folder.
If you do, please let me know if that OldFilm.AEX regenerates itself the next time you open Premiere Elements 13.
Here is the strange story...at least from my Premiere Elements 13 Windows perspective...never had the No Disc error issue
Here are some details to sort through trying to figure out why you have 2 OldFilm.AEX file in the NewBlue Folder.
1. The original OldFilm.AEX file of Premiere Elements 13 has the date of 9/4/2014 (just before the version was released on 9/24/2014).
After the 13.1 update is done (whenever date), that OldFilm.AEX file has the date of 1/31/2015. I first saw notification of the 13.1 Update
release early in February 2015.
2. Now in Premiere Elements 13.1, if I take my OldFilm.AEX (date 1/31/2015) and disable it by renaming it to OldFilm.AEXOLD, close out of there, and reopen
the program, the OldFilm.AEX is not seen to regenerate. The OldFilm.AEXOLD remains there as its lone self.
3. So, I am thinking that your OldFilm.AEXOLD in the screenshoot is "original equipment" that you disabled to get rid of No disc error.
Why the OldFilm.AEX is there also is not clear, but the dating on it suggests that it came along with the 13.1 Update.
Bottom line: let us try the deletion or disabling one more time and see what happens.
Looking forward to further reports on your findings, as your time permits.
Thanks.

I'm trying to delete all the songs from my iphone to free up space. I've managed to get rid of most of the (one at a time which is a real drag) but some are left and I can't get rid of them. Next to the title is the cloud with an arrow

Can someone please tell me how to delete songs from my iphone. When I swipe the song the delete shows up but when I touch it a cloud with a red arrow pointing down appears, when I touch it a circle appears when I touch it the cloud comes back. they just won't go away. Please help.

I did get rid of a few after I set the iphone to not show music which was in the cloud but I still have 2 albums that won't go away. Any more suggestions? Thanks for your help.

I have 5.43gb of storage on my iphone taken up by other, what is this and how can i get rid of it?

My iPhone is 16gb and i have no music, 500ish photos, and about 10 apps I had to delete everything off it because i couldn't take any photos because i had no space! How do i get rid of the storage other is taking up?

I would probably suggest backing up them photos to your computer and then performing a restore on the phone which will wipe everything off and start again.
Instructions for restore can be found here:

HT201493 When trying to edit one of my "friends" on the Find Friends App. I noticed I can edit pics but not information, one of the numbers I have is wrong, it showed up when I added my daughter and it's not hers, I can't get rid of it to put hers in.

Is there a way to edit numbers and addresses on Find Friends? I have been trying to fix a problem with my daughters iphone mobile number listed on my iphone. It brought up a number I believe she used for a social site but won't let me enter her actual mobile number. I contact her through her iphone using her phone number.

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

My Thunderbird has been hacked by the Home Depot thieves. And it is now full of often sleazy ads that I can't get rid of. Thunderbird won't ban them. Right?

Do I have to jettison my Thunderbird account. I'm a victim of the Home Depot hackers, and my mail is filled daily by often vile trash. Thunderbird won't ban this crap, as Gmail does. What do I do?

Thunderbird bird is email client software not an email provider. Talk to your email provider if you want something banned.
It helps to understand how email works before complaining about the wrong thing and looking foolish.

I have a program named facemoods that has taken over my search and comes up on its own, can I get rid of it?

When I open Firefox it opens normally then a program named Facemoods Search inserts its self infront of Mozilla Firefox. Then it takes over the search bar. Can Facemoods be removed ?

Is the Intego Task manager an important component for virus protection or can I get rid of it?

Is Intego Task Manager a legitimate virus protection program for Macs, or can I get rid of it? It seems that every time I use my computer it is doing a computer scan and it seems to slow things down.

Remove the Intego product by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version, the procedure may be different.
Back up all data before making any changes.

How can I get rid of the "Reset Search" app?

I have a Macbook Pro and I run Mavericks OS X 10.9.5. There's an application in Launchpad called "Reset Search".See picture 1. I know this is part of the "Install Mac" adware, but I still can't find a way to get rid of it. I downloaded Adware Medic to try and remove the adware but it said that it couldn't find anything. I also tried a manual removal following the steps from http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/, where it says to remove the file "/private/etc/launchd.conf" but I can't find that file anywhere. I'm scared to continue because it says, "Failure to properly remove this file, if it is present, will result in your computer freezing and becoming unable to start up!" Also way before I knew this was adware I reset the browser settings a few times using the pop up. See Picture 2.

Problem description:
Accidentally downloaded the adware “Install Mac” and can’t get rid of it because I can’t find any traces of it, except for the “Reset Search” app on Launchpad.
