I really did not expect to find Ads on My facebook wall or main page since I had not seen them before ,then a few days ago wham!! I got them crawling everywhere I can't find my friends posts with out scrolling long time lol Some one out there must know whats going on.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Privoxy: cannot get rid of google & facebook ads, or social buttons

Hi all,
I wanted to give privoxy a try. For starters, I'd like to do some adblocking, so I followed the wiki instructions for adblocking with privoxy. In particular, I used the privoxy-blocklist script the wiki mentions to download and use the following adblock lists:
easylist
easyprivacy
fanboy-annoyance
fanboy-social
fanboy-antifacebook
malwaredomains_full
void-gr-filters (for ads in Greek sites)
Also, again as per the wiki, I added
{+block-as-image{Facebook "like" and similar tracking URLs.}}
www.facebook.com/(extern|plugins)/(login_status|like(box)?|activity|fan)\.php
platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button?
plusone.google.com
in my /etc/privoxy/user.action file.
Although now I have adblocking working, I can't get rid of google ads, facebook ads, or social buttons (e.g. facebook like, etc).
I googled around, and tried all sorts of things. For instance, the following guides did not work for me:
http://www.willamowius.de/privoxy.html
http://superuser.com/questions/668608/c … th-privoxy
Any suggestions anybody?
EDIT: I'm using privoxy 3.0.21-2 with firefox 30

Are they textual ads, or pictures?
Textual ads are harder to get rid of - this is where greasemonkey is useful.
Thanks.. Though adblock plus would get rid of those. Also I wonder if installing privoxy and greasemonkey
slows down my firefox.. All in all, for ad blocking, I'm thinking of going back to adblock plus.

I have numerous Apple IDs how do I get rid of them and just keep one?

You can't get rid of them. Just stop using them.
Sign out of all the ones you want to stop using on all your devices and computers, then sign in with the one ID you do want to use.
Note that if you have iTunes or App Store purchases tied to any of these accounts, those purchases will forever be tied to that ID and you will have to sign in using that ID to update apps purchased under it. You cannot transfer purchases from one ID to another.

I have an app on my phone that has a glitch.i want to get rid of the app so that i can re install it,but when i re istall,it comes from the cloud and still has the glitch. how do i remove an app from my cloud

I have an app that i want to get out of my cloud,can i do this ????? It has a glitch and wont work and when i come to re install, it comes from my cloud along with the glitch. Can anyone help ?

When you tap the iCloud download symbol it's downloading a fresh copy of the app from the App Store, not from your iCloud account. (Your previous purchases aren't stored in your iCloud account, they are stored in the App store and can be redownloaded from there.)
If the app still has a glitch, try contacting the app developer. Perhaps there's a problem with the app running with iOS 7.1.

I want to get rid of smart suggestor ads from firefox 16.0.2 on macbook probut can't find them in add-ons.

On firefox 16.0.2 on a macbook pro OS X 10.8.2. Smart Suggestor Ads appear on top of my google search results. I did not install the Smart Suggestor add-on & I can't find it anywhere on my computer. I suspect this is something else. How do I get rid of it? Thanks for any help.

this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your system. please go to tools > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally or don't know what purpose they serve, etc).

How can I get rid of the Unwanted ads that are appearing in my e-mail display

What appears to be the first e-mail is actually an ad. If I click on it it takes me to a website that is trying to sell me something. I can't get rid of it.

I'm sorry, can you please respond with more information? I don't really understand your problem. Please try using another browser (Safari, Chrome) to do whatever you were doing. If the problem continues, then this refers to the website that you are connecting to.

I wanat to get rid of the firefox ads that appear on my screen at start-up, and remain there. I want to get rid of ads, not have more show up from firefox!

I have been requesting help for this for the past HOUR. Firefox is placing ads on my screen at start-up (and they remain there) to get firefox on Android (I don't have a cell phone that uses it), and to go to the firefox site with information on how to use..........I have used firefox for years.........don't need this, and when I go there since it seems to be forced on me, read what is new, and try to close out...........it is back again when I open firefox again. If I keep getting ads from firefox, I will change to another browser!

Firefox 4+ versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it (no internet access needed to load that page). 
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session button and the snippets then set another page as the home page like www.google.com used in Firefox 3 versions.
You may be seeing a similar ad on the Google site to install Google Chrome. 
In that case use the close X on that ad to close that pop-up and it should stay away unless local storage gets cleared.

I want to get rid of the alert box that keeps coming up that says the server at .... is taking too long to respond

I would rather it just keep trying to connect rather than continuously pop that stinking box up. It's very annoying

I want to get rid of a sound signal that plays whe...

A couple of years ack I recorded a sound on one of the older versions of skype that callers hear when they call me and I'm offline. It is a really stupid sound and now I want to remove it. The problem is, I have no idea how I added it and after all the updates I am not even sure the function to remove it still exists. I really want to remove it now. Please help!

It could not be opened, therefore it wasn't in the computer,

I don't get that... at all. It's like saying "I can't clean up a mess that was never made."
If it wasn't on the computer, there IS NOTHING to to delete, so what are you looking at that IS on your computer?

I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

How can i get rid of the "macshop " ads that keep appearing on my browser, as i keep the bobups blocked and cookies of third parties and advertisments blocked as well

Lately every time i open my browser Safari Version 7.1 on Macbook pro with retina display IOS X 10.9.5 i keep getting these ads from "macshop" also the pages keep directing to files fetcher and i don't know why it keep doing that although i have blocked popups

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

How do I get rid of the letter B that keeps showing up when I hit tab?

I don't know where the letter B came from but everytime I hit tab it pops up. I have tried a few things:
-Preferences
-Keyboard
-Set lists to none.
Any other recommendations?
Thanks.

You should go to the Apple Store and get it checked out.
That's weird. Never heard of that one before.

How can I get rid of the calendar icon that's showing on the top right of my screen?

I can't figure out why the calendar icon is only showing when locked? When I unlock it it's not telling me I've missed anything and the icon isn't there so I can't figure out where's it coming from to delete it. Help!
Solved!

Try a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

On my windows 7 laptop, after trying two suggestions, I cannot GET RID of yahoo as the Firefox search engine!!! Help Please!!

For two weeks I have been fighting to remove yahoo as the search engine with Mozilla Firefox. I am running the newest version of Firefox. I followed information I found online and fixed my desktop. The same information will not work on my laptop. The path was (about:config) (type keyword.URL in the filter box) ( on the string that appears, right click on keyword.URL) (select modify) ( type in the url of your choosing, choices are given) and that is supposed to fix it. It did on my desk top not my laptop.

After months, I think I figured it out...
I was frustrated because I like to use the url bar as my search engine, which is not fixed using the link posted by jadeye.
Try this...
* In your address bar, type in: “about:config”
* Inside of the filter search box, type in: browser.search.defaulturl
* ctrl click and choose “Modify”
* Type in: http://www.google.com/search?lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Do the same process with: keyword.URL and use:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
I think those steps finally fixed it for me. F-ing Blingee / SearchCanvas. What a racket.
