Need add-on after windows XP restore virus removal. have redirect problem

Microsoft technical support removed virus from computer, but said I needed a firefox add-on to get rid of the redirect that happens every time I do a search from any search engine

is it Mac OS X so much faster than Windows XP or Apple's Bootcamp slows down Windows and on a Windows computer Windows XP is fast
I don't believe it's either. I think it's simply Windows XP having problems. Windows XP should go like any PC with similar hardware. All Boot Camp does is allow a GUID partitioned drive to have a NTFS/FAT32 partition on it such that it appears as a C drive to Windows. That all it does. Additionally, drivers are supplied for Apple specific hardware.
I would check the state of your Windows XP installation.

  • On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it  a windows 8 issue?

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting

    I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting - is there anything in preferences I can change?

    The clipboard error means that the OS or some other application messed up when placing data on the clipboard.
    The reboot to open files means that something has gone wrong at the OS level (otherwise just relaunching Photoshop would work).  We've heard from a few other users with that problem, but never heard back from them what was wrong with their system to cause that behavior.  My guess is a bad driver or malware.

  • "Indexing is not running" after Windows 7 restore

    I recently had a laptop hard drive poop out.  I bought a new one and and accomplished a full restore from a fresh backup managed by Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4.3. I was initially impressed because almost everything is 100%.  Windows and Office had to be re-activated. System Restore had to have the "old C: Drive" deleted and the new one turned on.  But the uber-critical Windows Search (Indexing) is broken. Most of the options on the Indexing Options panel are dithered.  The event log is streaming the same three errors until I disable the service entirely.  Rebuild will not work.  Screen captures are available.  
    None of the stock "fix the index" techniques worked (I already have 2 hours into it using Google et al.).  This is going to require someone with intimate knowledge of how the WINDOWS 7 indexing system works and how to "reset" it
    In a maybe-related problem, I cannot do any System Updates either.
    Rebuilding this system is simple too painful so I need the restore to work.
    TIA.

    With your 2 hours of googleing, have you found this thread or tried the things they recommend to try?

  • After Window Crash & Restore Articles in Firefox print in small 4pt type reather than the normal 10pt-11pt type

    With Internet Explorer web articles print in normal size type 10pt - 11pt. With Firefox web articles print in small 2pt-4pt type. This started after a Windows crash & restore.

    The Packaged are already there on the server as the RHEL software DVD is copied on the server.
    Yes it was working before the crash, And Even after the Crash i.e
    after starting the server in Xwindows I was installing the rpms from RHEL6/Packages directory on the server even installed 10-12 rpms
      and was in the process of installing the sabayon rpm i 've inadvertantly issued or run  this command
      rpm -ivh *.rpm --force --nodeps  from RHEL software Packages directory.   
    and it ended up with Errors Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: BAD
       After that I could Not install any rpm from rpm or yum command.
       I 've  Downloaded the new sabyon*  and Other rpms from the net and tried to install them with rpm or yum command but
        got the same Errors Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: BAD 
       with yum am getting this error
       error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID ec551f03: BAD.
      I 've Tried searching on google as well for at least 10 hours but did not get any help from it so far.
      The Reinstallation of OS is not AN Option for me rightnow.
       Could you tell something which i could try & may be that works.
    Thanks

  • Plz help, "device not detected" after windows updates?? I have so

    I have An Audigy 2 ZS, and have the latest drivers. It has been working PERFECT, LAST NIGHT I had like 0 WINDOWS UPDATES, i dont' know if any of these had anything to do with this. But, I just now went to the icon in the task bar, and went to change SPEAKER SETTINGS to switch to HEADPHONES as I ALWAYS DO, I was surprised when the "unable to change the sound device to your selected device", you press ok, and it comes up TWO MORE TIMES, Right after each other.
    I DO HAVE SOUND, FOR NOW. I have read other mentioning this error, but I didn't seem to find any answers. I can't go to speaker settings, or Surround Mixer,
    OK, NOW I tried to go to GRAPHICS EQ, and an error came up that said "THE AUDIO DEVICE SUPPORTED BY THIS APPLICATION IS NOT DETECTED, THE APPLICATION WILL EXIT"
    What is going on?
    I went to device manager and it says that the device is working properly, and I DO have sound.
    I DON'T get it. And I'm not likeing this. This is starting to worry me.
    Does ANYONE know what is going on.. PLZ?

    Thanx for the reply. I just now fixed it. I'm not totally sure what I did. Earlier I had uninstalled the device from Device manager, and then restarted, and it installed the drivers from the CD. It didn't fix it. So, I ran the LIVE update here at creative.com and downloaded the version I had before, I guess because when i had ran the update before I uninstalled the device the update wasn't there.
    But, it started to update, and said something it had to restart the pc in order to install the update, and after it installed the new "creative audio console" it now works.
    the whole thing was strange since I dind't lose sound at all. Just couldn't access settings.

  • 1.Backup to External drive 2. CoverArt lost after Windows system restore

    I recently spent many hours searching for and applying cover art for my music which was mostly ripped before cover art was readily available.
    Because of this investment, I want to be sure my library is fully backed up. I want to use space on an external drive, rather than DVD's.
    I noticed as I added art, iTunes started acting sluggish. I thought it might be because of the new version or a recent Windows Vista update. So I decided to run system restore. I was appalled to discover that restore wiped out the art I had added. So I reversed the restore and the cover art returned. It became clear to me that the art must be stored in some other way than in the actual music file. I've searched the forum and found others who had problems with system restore, but no explanation of exactly what I should do if I want to proceed with a system restore. I use system restore several times a year and I have never lost anything in iTunes before I started adding cover art. I also never had a problem with sluggishness til I added a bunch of cover art.
    My library is large at 3000 items.
    Is there a way to compact or optimize the database to improve responsiveness?
    Is there a way to backup to an external drive? Is it just a file copy and export library file?
    If I export the library as an xml file before I do a system restore, can I then replace it after the restore and protect my cover art.

    To be completely sure what you're doing please take a look at your iTunes Folder and see what Vista stores inside it. To find it, go to Start>Computer>Hard Disk C>Users>Your Name>Music>iTunes>.......
    Please note there is an artwork folder PLUS a music folder!
    My guess is that your system restore point pre-dated the time you added artwork to your iTunes files. (Celebrate that system restore still works for you--I have not been able to successfully restore for over a year now--Norton Internet Security causes system restore failures for many Windows users! I've tried to do this using Windows XP and Vista--and I can never successfully restore anymore.)
    To fully backup your library, just copy the entire iTunes folder to another source--second hard drive, USB drive, or burn it to a CD or DVD, etc.
    If you're experiencing "sluggishness" it may be due to the amount of RAM on your system. iTunes needs a great deal of RAM to run smoothly. You can choose to: increase the RAM on your system, OR, turn off cover flow/album view and see if things run more smoothly.

  • Adobe Illustrator Not Working After Windows 7 Restore

    My Windows crashed recently and it restored to an earlier version. The earlier version did not have the Creative Cloud registered. So while I have all the files under the Program Files, they do not appear anywhere else. I thought of uninstalling but they are not appearing in the uninstall list. I tried to delete the folders (Adobe) but it didnt delete them all the way.
    So at the moment, I can't uninstall them, delete the folders or re-install the programs. I dont know what to do? Can someone help?

    Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, reinstall.

  • After windows system restore, most ipod data not copying

    I recently did a system restore on my computer using windows XP. When I tried to update my ipod, it said that 81 items were not transferred because my computer was not 'authorized' for them. All of the items were on my computer long before the system restore and were all purchased legally from the itunes store. So now most of my music, podcasts, and all of my tv shows won't sync to my ipod. I did a restore on the ipod, but that didn't help. Does anyone know what to do?

    Is the new memory according to recommended specs?
    there is no connection between battery and memory as far as i know. but while restoring OS to factory settings, it is advised that you keep original factory hardware (use old memory sticks etc.).

  • After removing malware Firefox is still broken even after uninstall/reinstall, yet other browsers have no problems with links opening multiple unwanted windows.

    I removed malware from my new Windows 7 pro 64 bit PC. I have reinstalled Firefox multiple times to try and resolve the problem, even deleting the Mozilla folder from programs on the C drive. Whenever I click on a link on a webpage in Firefox, multiple unwanted tabs and windows open up making Firefox virtually unusable. Resetting Firefox doesn't help. I installed Chrome and do not get these popups. The malware must have caused some damage related to Firefox that will not allow Firefox to function normally even with a fresh install. I would prefer to use Firefox.
    I don't recall the name of the malware.

    The cause is most likely the preferences file in your profile folder. That file contains your personal settings, so it doesn't get deleted when you reinstall/update Firefox. The reset feature also retains your preferences file.
    Instead of doing a mass delete of all your settings, you can try identify the culprits and reset them individually.
    # In the [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # Click on the '''Status''' column, to sort your preferences by status, and group all the ''user set'' preferences together. They should appear in bold.
    # If you see any preference that look suspicious, just '''right-click''' on it, and select '''Reset'''.
