Pop ups keep appearing when I go to different web pages.

A couple days ago, pop ups started to appear when I went to different websites. They show up as long white boxes on the left and right side, as well as on the bottom of the browser. When I click to exit them out, and sometimes when I click other links, a new tab opens up saying that I need to download a newer version of something. I have tried uninstalling then installing Firefox and it's still there and I have restarted the browser in safe mode and they still show up. All of my add-ons are disabled and I have scanned my computer using my anti-virus software and nothing has been found. I don't know what to do about this, if I can't fix it I will probably go back to just using Chrome.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br>
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br>
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Firefox crashes when we go to different web pages, but not specific to any specifc ones, just web pages in general. How do we correct this issue?

    When we go to different web pages, we get an onscreen message stating firefox has stopped working. Most of the time firefox does restore the pages and tabs, but sometimes it does not. How can we fix this problem?

  • How do you turn off the mail preview pop ups, that appear when you open mail since downloading iOS 7?

    Since downloading iOS 7, whenever I open the mail app, I am getting pop up previews of all the unread mail that I have asking me if I wish to either dismiss, or read the message. When I have quite a few emails, this can be an annoying, & time consuming task, which is totally unnecessary, as because I am opening the mail app, of course I am going to read or dismiss the emails.

  • Safari keeps crashing when loading large data on web pages

    I have owned my iPad 3 for more than a year now and I have never encountered this problem but ever since I have updated to the latest iOS version(7.1.1), my safari keeps crashing on my community site where threads have maybe over a 100 comments in them.
    Now whenever I open a thread page on Safari, it loads for a few seconds then crashes, to make things worse for me is one in a while when it crashes, it reboots my iPad. I have seen several similar questions asked by other people regarding safari crashing when loading large amounts of data and got help saying that there's something wrong with the CSS. or something but I never got any idea on how to resolve this bug.
    Can anyone tell me how do I prevent my Safari from crashing everytime I open a thread? Any solutions? Because I am getting really ******.
    (Ps: I have already tried other browsing apps such as Google Search and Chrome, they still crash. I even tried letting it load half-way and then stopping it but it isn't going well.)

    I have restored my iOS devices a number of times in order to resolve issues and it has gone very smoothly every time. I am not going to lie, it takes a fair amount of time to backup, restore the iOS and then restore from the backup, but it could very well resolve the issue.
    On the other hand, it may not help at all. Restoring the software is a standard troubleshooting measure And that is why it is recommended when other suggestions aren't working. But before you restore, there are a couple of other things that you could try,
    Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will not lose any data when you do this, but it does take some time to enter all of the device settings again, so be aware of that.
    Another thing to try is to erase the device and start over. This is different than restoring to factory settings. Reads rhis for more information.

  • How can I get Facebook game pop-ups to appear without having to downgrade Firefox as I need version 6 for work?

    When I try to send back a gift in a Facebook game, there should be a pop-up that appears to allow me to do this. However in the newest version of Firefox, I can not get these pop-ups to appear and I have to have version 6 to be able to work from home. So how do I fix this?

    This might be because your settings are configured to block pop-ups. To fix this:
    1. Go to: Firefox > Options > Content
    2. Untick the 'Block popup windows' option
    3. Click 'OK'
    '''If this was the answer you were looking for, please click 'Solved' -- Thanks.'''

    Press WinLogoKey+R to open the Run... dialog box

    Right-click on the iTunes.aifc key and click Permissions... to see what is going on. My current permissions for the iTunes.aifc key are shown below: Giving Administrators and/or yourself Full Control should be enough to let the installer make changes. Alternatively you could delete the key and let the iTunes installer recreate it.

  • I changed my apple ID but the old ID keeps appearing when trying to log in

    I changed my apple id and password, but the old id keeps appearing when trying to log in

    Did you create a whole new Apple ID or change the email on the Apple ID you had previously? There is a BIG difference. Ocean20 explain quite clearly the problem you are likely having.
    Let me explain it this way. If Apps were money, it would be like opening a bank account (your Apple ID), putting a bunch of money (apps) in that account, then opening a new bank account (Apple ID) and wondering where all your money (apps) went.

  • Iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand colum

    iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand column? Does anyone know why this happens and what i can do to resolve it? I have tried deleting a file which i saw recommended but it hasn't made any difference

    Its possible that the page files, or individual image files are corrupted and you may have to consider rebuilding the page.
    Some people find that they can't even delete the page due to the fact that iWeb crashes as soon as they select it.
    If you have carried out the trouble shooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
    ... and the issue is still not resolved, I do have a method of deleting such pages which does work when I try it despite the claims from others that it is not possible.
    If you really have to delete the page you can post back here.
