PC is blocked after doing a manual or automatic update of my anti-virus SW (VIPRE) when firefox is open. No issue with other browsers or is firefox is not active

I just switched over to Mozilla Firefox letest version 3.6.13 (before I used Google Chrome). It's running fine BUT ....
if firefox is open and at the same time there is an (automatic or manual) update of my anti-virus SW (I use VIPRE) the update is done but afterwards my PC is blocked. Looking to the running processes I see that "System Idle Process" takes 98%. I can't do anything else with my PC, it reacting VERY slowly. To stop it I have to END firefox using "ctl-alt-del". It makes me nervous.
With other browsers (used IE and Google Chrome) or in case I dont use firefox there is no issue at all.

    What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
    What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

    Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • After recent upgrades Firefox prevents links in several websites from working whilst there is no such problem with other browsers - help please.

    Since a recent upgrade of Firefox links in several websites no longer work. They used to be fine and I loved Firefox. The problems do not exist with other browsers e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome. More specifically, on talktalk.co.uk the links to news items do not work, nor do those to "My Account." On Barclays.co.uk the link to print my statement doesn't work - similarly on MBNA.com
    There are several suggested solutions around the internet but all are complex, none so far have worked and I don't see why I should need to carry out the suggested tweaks. Firefox used to be great - now it isn't. The problem seems to be with the upgrade. Please help me to get my Firefox to where it should be.

    Thank you but please don't waste any more time on this. I have done as I said I would - removed and re- installed Firefox, cleared all cookies and caches (CCleaner) - still doesn't work. As I said at the start, the problem is not confined to Talktalk - it applies to several other sites and links. The problem does not occur with Internet Explorer nor with Google Chrome so I am now using those.

  • Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

    Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

    That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
    In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.

  • Does a Mac don't really need an anti-virus? Is it really a virus free?

    Does a Mac don't realyy need an anti-virus? Is it really a virus free? If not what is the recomended anti-virus for MacBook?

    Thomas A Reed's site provides everything you need to know.  I just want to re-affirm one part (and this is also on Thomas's site)... just because OS X is fairly resistant to viruses, that does not mean you can do whatever you want without any concerns.  For the most part, you'll be safe if you don't actually authorize something to be installed (with a few exceptions).  You won't typically need to worry about getting a virus just by visiting a website or opening an email.  However, once you give authorization for something to be installed, it can do pretty much anything.  We've done a great job as a community at touting the security of OS X (and it is very secure), but that has led a lot of less technical people to think that they can do anything without worry.  If you download something through a torrent site (or other unknown source) and install it, you've given that application full access to your system.  Even if the program you download appears to be what you expected it to be, additional malicious code could have been inserted and you would never know.  I also like to point out that the concept of torrents unto itself is not bad.  Plenty of companies distribute their software via torrents.  It's particularly useful for smaller companies as it can take a significant amount of bandwidth demand off of their servers.  However, you should only use the torrent link directly from the developer's site, not from a torrent search engine. 

  • Does anyone know how to update the software on an iPhone 4 when there is no software update button?!

    Does anyone know how to update the software on an iPhone 4 when there is no software update button?!
    Many thanks.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS version supported by the device’s hardware.

  • Has anyone else had Messages and Mail lock up and then crash after doing the iOS 8.2 update? Rather, has anyone else had Messages and Mail lock up and then crash for the first time a day after doing the iOS 8.2 update?

    I have a 64 gig second gen iPad mini that I updated to iOS 8.2 yesterday with no initial problems. You're probably thinking all's good right? Wrong.
    All was good until about an hour ago. When I saw a text notification on the lock screen I swiped right thinking that it wouldn't act any differently from the countless other times that I've done that same action...little did I realize that it would lock up once unlocked. To clarify, when I say "locked up" I mean frozen with nothing on the screen except for the basic design of Messages.

    Not experienced an issue with my iPad Mini, and I've been running iOS 8.2 since it came out.
    What troubleshooting have you tried since the device froze? Is it still froze? First step would be to try and power off the device. If that does not help, then perform a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The device will reboot, and it will have no affect on your data. That should correct things, but if it doesn't, then the next steps are a restore from backup, and if necessary a restore as new.

  • After installing last Security Update 2014–002 i've had problems when trying to open some apps, as they close unespectedly. Boom, Audacity, Dropbox are some of these apps...

    Yesterday (april 22) I install the last Security Update 2014–002 from the Mac App Store. After rebooting the computer, I haven't been able to run some apps I use frequently, such as Boom Device, Dropbox, Google Drive, wich didn't show in the menu bar anymore and don't run even when clicking on their icons; or apps like Audacity (open source sound editor), All2mp3 (sound files converter to mp3); and other apps bought from the Mac App Store, as Funtastic Photos. This problem affects even applications as Word, Excel and Powerpoint... I think the problem has reached it's highest levels and I would like to know what can I do in order to reverse my iMac to a "normal" life... I should say that I haven't had any problems with any of the several Web Browsers I commonly use...

    I have the sam problem with Firefox and Word. Annoying, please help me. Word does not open at all(still Excel and Powerpoint do, Firefox get a lot of problems, and shuts down.

  • Will not load and function. Does having other browsers installed prohibit Firefox from working? i.e. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Opera?

    I downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. It locks up before it can load any Web site. I removed Firefox for similar reasons once before but now trying to reinstall. I have Windows 7 64 bit system with I.E., Google Chrome, and Opera installed. Why does Firefox fail to function?

    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.

  • SCCM 2012 R2: Forefront Endpoint protection via automatic updates only work when manually triggering automatic updat rule

    Hi,
    I followed this manual to configure forefront endpoint protection on clients: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6106-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-6-adding-the-endpoint-protection-role-configure-alerts-and-custom-antimalware-policies/
    Now in short: everything works fine ... as long as I trigger the audomatic deployment rules.
    Current situation:
    1. ADR ran fine (3:30 this night)
    2.Software update group is NOT ok
    3.I run ADR manually (right click on ADR, run)
    4.software update group is ok (green icon)
    Then virusupdates are succesfull. This means that clients only update their virus definitions when I manually run the ADR-rule.
    I'm missing something here.
    Please advise.
