You probably have (probably unknowingly) installed some adware. The Safe Mac provide a script for safely removing unwanted adware:

Ads and tab pop-ups in random places all of a sudden?

Before today, i started getting these Ads in random places; google homepage, under youtube videos, etc.
Also on when i click on a website that are least likely to have popups such as this website, a new tab opens with random websites such as dominos or mac cleaner and all that crap. How do I stop this? This doesn't happen in firefox but I use safari most of the time.
Is there a way to uninstall and then reinstall safari?
Thanks for your concern

1. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
    download free AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
    http://www.adwaremedic.com
   Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
   Once scanning and removing the adware is done, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
    and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
Safari
2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.
3. Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Press “Remove all website data” button.
4. Restart the computer and empty the trash.

How do i get rid of price finder pop ups on my mac?

I am getting price finder pop ups every time in shopping on line or even just browsing the web. Does any body know how to get rid of the price finder pop ups?

This is because you installed recently a third party software, please don't install third party software unless you are absolutely sure of its origins and how to get rid of them. Remember, Macs are not inmune to virus, specially adwares

How can I get rid of excessive commercial ads and other pop-ups?

Quite recently I have been facing severe pop up annoyances on all my web-search browsers (including Google Chrome and Safari). It has come to the point that I rather surf on my little iPhone 5s than on my Apple MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display (Year 2013) Every second mouse click opens up a random tab with advertising/commercial and the usual stuff. Adding to that annoying in-site popups appear on most of the sites all the time. Even when i click the closing cross or the buttton "close this ad" it will just re-appear the next time the page reloads (latest at my next click). It made it so annoying to use my Laptop that I try to avoid working with it in the Internet. Especially with Uni restarting I would appreciate any Help or advice.
Kind Regards,
Lion

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

Thank you!

Your brother may have downloaded and installed something known as "adware." To see if that's the case, visit thomas_r.'s The Safe Mac website and look at the Adware Removal Guide page. You may also be able to use his Adware Removal Tool to get rid of the junk.

How to I get rid of Untrusted site pop ups

My question is two fold
1. Why do I get an Untrusted site pop on on sites that I know
are secure like I Tunes, and other sites that I've been using
for very long time. I never ever had this problem with the older
versions of Fire Fox . These pop up windows started after I
downloaded the new FireFox 3.6 . I can use my laptop and go to the
same site 's on the other office PC we have and my laptop with out
any problems and no pop ups.
2. Is this a problem is coming from Fire Fox so I can stop the pop ups
from happening or is it from my security settings in my firewall
My Anti-virus program is Panda Internet Security 2011
Can you give me answer to these 2 questions
Thanks for your help
Terry

Lagging, freezing and video pop ups

I have recently notice a lot of lagging to my laptop, a lot of freezing where it says "not responding" then will finally load the page, and video pop ups that I am unable to find the location they are coming from. I have ran several virus programs and I am still having the issue.

I experienced the same thing.
(freezing website, not the video pop-up)
Try an adblocker to get rid of those pop ups...
In PaleMoon(a FF derivative) I didn't have stalled websites so far.

I switched initially to get back the old, non Australis UI but it seems many websites are much more responsive than in FF.

Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

Pop-ups (custom animations) work in PPT presentation, but don't in published presenter PDF

Pop-ups (custom animations) work in PPT presentation, but don't in published presenter PDF. I created a file in PowerPoint 2003 that allows the user to click on words in a graphic and have definitions of the word pop-up. This only works in the PPT presentation, it does not work when I publish the file to PDF using Adobe Presenter, version 7.0.5, build 7588. Any suggestions?

MKO,
That's not entirely surprising. Unfortunately, what you're doing cannot be replicated or executed properly in Presenter content, because trigger functions are essentially Active X controls native to the PowerPoint environment. And that's the problem: Active X commands are totally ignored when your deck is converted during the publishing process.
So what to do?
You have 2 options, and neither are "clean" solutions because each represents a bit of homework.
Scenario 1: what you could do is create a series of hidden slides that are associated with / correspond to each of the text elements you have on the first slide. You'd have to assign hyperlinks to the text boxes and then point the hyperlinks to the associated hidden slide. The upside here is that if you have to edit any content after-the-fact, is that you can conduct such edits directly in PowerPoint. But there is a drawback too; namely, that if you have to keep track of slide views, hidden slides are not tracked at all by LMSs (including Adobe Connect), so you'd have to come up w/ a formula for counting the number of visible slides so your presentation will mark a "complete" on the LMS.
Scenario 2: create a Flash interaction that effectively does the exact same thing. The drawback to this I hope is obvious: if you have any content edits, then you're forced to edit the file directly in Flash. The good news here, however, is that this solution only requires one slide, so you can effectively keep track of slide views if that's something you need if the course is deployed on an LMS.
Again, perhaps not ideal, but the above does represent alternative solutions to what you attempted to do in your sample deck.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
