Please help me remove Sweetpacks from FF and my PC. Sweetpacks INSTALLED ITSELF on my PC laptop.

Sweetpacks showed up on my Windows XP SP3 laptop with a Centrino Duo chip and 2GIG of memory.
I'm trying to get rid of this crap. Their instruction for Firefox is to go to "Tools, then Options, then Setting's???? I do not have a search engine setting, under Options, on my FF browser. Plus everything I've read about this software leads me to believe there may still be numerous hidden or invisible files in Firefox collecting my every move, and in other software on my laptop as well.
There isn't a search setting on FF Options to select a search engine. I know I can select it in the upper right corner search box however, every time I try to add a menu bar, Sweetpacks insert's itself as the search engine. I downloaded Spyhunter, ran an it, and removed 2371 malware files. It still didn't remove all of the Sweetpacks junk...........HELP!!!

Try to reset prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page that refer to Sweetpacks.
*Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for sweetpacks or sweet via the Search bar at the top of the about:config page.<br />
*Reset all sweetpacks related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can also try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

    It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

    Explore Settings > General > Accessibility. Around page 128 of the User Guide is probably appropriate.
    The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.

  • Can somebody please tell me what 'genius' included 'family' in reminders, and, made it so i cannot remove it.  I have NO family, and, i find this particularly hurtful and disrespectful.  Can somebody please help me remove it.

    Hi EmmeElle,
    Is it an iCloud reminder or a third party reminder like from an Exchange account(maybe your company provides this service together with mail etc..).
    In the first case you should definitely be able to delete it by right click->delete or via https://www.icloud.com
    In the second case there might be a browser based settings page from your company or the provider of the service (i.e. Exchange) itself. Otherwise you can go to your System Preferences -> Internet Accounts and deactivate reminders for this account. WARNING: this also deletes all other reminder lists and reminders from this service on your mac.

    Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

    So I looked up the info on OWC as suggested and found the correct memory to upgrade but not sure how much to get and which option? I wanted to know how much space I have available to upgrade so I don't buy something that's more than what can be used. I'm not sure if I need 4GB or 8GB of ram? Also there are two options with every memory choice for instance:
    8.0GB PC3-10600 1333MHZ SO Kit (4GB + 4GB) w/Lifetime Limited Warranty
    Same Day
    $78.79
    8.0GB PC3-10600 SO-DIMM 204 Pin w/Lifetime Limited Warranty
    Same Day
    $82.79
    Not sure what the difference is in the two and which I would need to purchase? Thank you for all your help!

  • CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE ITUNES SO I CAN RE INSTALL IT!

    How Can I Remove and Unistall Itunes From My Computer I Went To "Add or Remove Programs" and Clicked Itunes "Change/Remove" and nothing happen! its still there same thing for quicktime and im trying to unistalled them because i dont have any were in my computer to click itunes to open! so its like i dont even have it but i cant download it till i remove that one on the add or remove program section but i cant because nothing happens CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE ITUNES! FROM THAT LIST!

    Well, you can do what I did. You can click onto "Start" and then "My Computer". From there, click onto Hard Disc Drive "C". A window will open that shows the folders that are present. Click onto "Program Files" and then another window will open. You should see both I-Tunes and Quicktime there. Right click onto each one and then click "Delete". That should work. When it's done, restart your computer.
    If it doesn't work, hit the "control/alt/delete" keys at the same time and select "Processes". If they show up there, delete them from that list first and then repeat the above procedure.
    Good luck. By the way, check out my post on "People with Problems, Read here". You'll find that there's many of us here that cannot make our I-Pod's work correctly because the software for them is HORRIBLE!

    Hello sydney235,
    You may need to update your MacBook Air with your new Apple ID password.
    OS X Mountain Lion and later: Open the Messages app, select Messages > Preferences, then click the Accounts icon.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID password, click Accounts and enter your current Apple ID to sign in.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID password, click Accounts, then select your previous Apple ID from the list of accounts. Click Sign Out, then click Sign Out again when asked to confirm. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in.

    There's another possibility, the "-L" option to ls(1) causes ls to follow symbolic links. I suspect someone has aliased ls to "ls -L" and that would give the results you see. try giving a full path to ls, ie "/bin/ls -lid qa_ftp ../QA" and see if that gives the same result.
