I keep getting pop up windows when I click on a website. I run Avast virus detection, malwarebytes and spybot but can't seem to get it to stop.

I'm running Vista

Hi shughes3,
Does this happen with all sites or just on a particular one? It might just that the website is in a "bad neighborhood" so to speak. Do you have the [[Pop-up blocker]] enabled in Firefox? That article will show you how to turn on the pop-up blocker and how to manage it as well. You might also want to take a look at [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]] although it sounds like you've got that pretty well covered.

    hello, you have various malicious addons present. please try these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

    When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Wendy

    Hello Martin,
    I have used this DLL before and wasn't asked to choose a codec. Maybe if you use all three functions (init, write, close), it works without problems. Here's a example that uses IMAQ hardware to acquire an 8-bit image at 30fps and writes each image to an avi file.
    There are utilities to examine dlls (see what functions are exported and what the dependencies are, but you can't see source code since it is compiles.) Check out QuickView or DependencyWalker.

  • Won't open Outlook Express compose window when I click on a website's Mailto link

    I have Firefox 3.6.10 running on Windows XP on my desktop.
    When I am at a website with a Mailto link and click on the link, I expect my Outlook Express compose window to open. This is because Firefox's Tools>Options>Applications>mailto for Outlook Express is set to Use Outlook Express.
    Unfortunately, clicking on this link merely takes me to Outlook Express, as opposed to opening a Compose window.

    If the server doesn't recognize that you are logged on then that usually means that the cookie that identifies you isn't send to the server.<br />
    If the cookie settings in Firefox are OK then make sure that an extension or security software on your computer isn't blocking the cookies.<br />
    If you use the Back button then Firefox may be loading the page from the cache.
    Do you still get the correct page if you refresh via F5 or Ctrl + F5 (bypass cache)?

  • Forgot password, but can't seem to get it sent to me

    I'm trying to log into email settings, but I've forgotten my password.  I've gone through the "forgot password" link a few times, and each time I'm told that my password has been sent to my device...but I can't find those messages anywhere.  I'm at my wit's end...where on earth are these messages going?  And why can't I get there?

    Welcome to the forums.
    What carrier do you have?  And are you trying to login via the Email Settings icon on your device (I think you are) or via your carrier's website?
    I forgot my password recently and was able to call the carrier to have them reset it for me.

  • I keep getting an error message when i click view headers. i am unable to view column headers and am unable to sort by sender.

    erro message when i try to view full header (cannot view any header)

    Assuming that you are referring to '''email''' ''(based upon your use of the word sender''), Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • TS4268 hi just setting up new ipad 2 and cant get imessage to work . when i put in apple id it says password incorrect have checked and reset but still wont work

    hi just setting up new ipad 2 but when trying to use imessage it says sign in with apple id which i do but password doesnt work. have checked it numerous times but no luck. any ideas ?

    The screen "Create Apple ID" is for users without an Apple ID (or someone who has forgotten their password).  Since you do not want to create a new Apple ID, you are on the wrong screen. 
    Go back to the Sign-In screen and then sign-in with your Apple ID (or start over).  The sign-in screen will have both fields to input:  Apple ID and then Password.  The Password screen may be a secondary screen after you input ID and hit Enter.
    Hopefully, your further forays into the Land of iPad will not be as disconcerting as your beginning.  I was also new to Apple (three years ago with the first iPad).  It was a bit aggravating at first, however, now we own multiple Apple computers, peripherals and IOS devices (iPads,iPhone,Apple TV) and really appreciate the functionality and usability.
