Postaleads has attached itself to my mozilla, how do I get rid of it?

A company called Postaleads has invaded my Mozilla. It is a "sales" window that appears anytime I am in a site that might sell something. Of course Postaleads is no help. I really wish there was some way of suing them for invasion of my computer. I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of this announce. Thank you

hello, you may have malicious addons present. please perform all these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
    Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

  • Firefox has been hijacked by Babylon Search, how do I get rid of it/

    I did not add Babylon Search. I deleted it from Add & Remove programs. It's gone from the list, but is still in Firefox. I removed it from Add-ons in Firefox. But it's still there. I've run ConboFix, but it's still there. How do I get rid of it?

  • VIDX Has taken over my browser. How do I get rid of it?

    Hello - I have been trying to get rid of this VidX virus that has seem to take over my browsers... Pop ups all the time - Re-directing me to SPAM pages.. its a mess!!
    The way I think I got it, was by downloading some "update" I thought I needed to get my videos to play on this blog I watch reality shows on..
    anyways - I found out it was a phony, becuase pop ups started to happen the minute I finalized that "INSTALL"
    I have the "AppZapper" I tried getting rid of it in there, and it did, from the "Applications" folder - but the pop ups never stopped happening.
    Attached are some of the stuff that's been happening on my browsers... and it says "Ads By VidX"

    Downloading software from untrustworthy site caused adware to be installed. This can occur when downloading anything from software aggregator hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or others.
    Don't do that. If you want to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, go directly to the source - usually the developer's own website, or the distribution source authorized by the developer.
    In general, searching for software by following the first Google result is a bad idea. The top ranked results will include one or more of the untrustworthy sources above, for the simple reason that Google gives first preference to sites that host Google's advertisements - and since Google tracks your search history and knows what browser and equipment you're using, you'll be targeted for garbage Mac apps that will result in even more misery if you were to install them.
    To fix your Firefox popup problems, go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions. Remove "VidX" as well as anything else you aren't absolutely certain is required. Do the same with Plug-Ins and Services.
    Don't use AppZapper to delete anything either. It's not necessary and you might delete something required. Merely deleting the VidX app from Applications by dragging it to the Trash is enough.

  • New nano uploaded or has songs I didnt pick! How do i get rid of them???

    Just plugged in the Nano I got my husband for Christmas, and there's a library of HIDEOUS songs that we didn't buy, upload or otherwise ask for.
    I THOUGHT I got rid of them when I deleted the library in Itunes, but its still on the Nano and I want them to GO AWAY!
    I tried reading the online manual but I am still lost. Any ideas on how to get these things gone???
    And even better how to not get unwanted songs on there in the future?
    Bridget

    There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
    If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
    Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
    You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod.
    If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
    This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, these settings can be found in the summary screen.
    If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
    Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.

  • I keep getting a message at the top of my e-mails screen saying the nessage I am looking for has previously been moved or deleted. how do I get rid of it

    When I open Outlook to view my e-mails I get a message at the top which says--the e-mail I am looking for has been removed or deleted and shows a "Close" button. It is annoying more than anything else but I can't seem to get rid of it and I don't know where it is coming from.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    See Outlook support for help with that issue.

  • A program called pc keeper has attached itself to my Mozilla Firefox, and I am no longer able to use it. Even uninstalling and reinstalling is a no fix.

    Yesterday I discovered a pop-up attached to my Mozilla Firefox, it was essentially a white box, with a grey bar inside, which I dangerously clicked as it would not allow me to close or access my Mozilla. Clicking the box revealed an ad for something call PC Keeper which now also shows in my remembered links as being in a second window. I was forced to shut down my computer to close the Mozilla, making all my links unavailable to me, and ultimately had to uninstall it from my computer. I attempted to reinstall a new version, but, again found this PC Keeper attached to it, it's white window firmly locking everything up, and forcing me again to uninstall the program. Please, find me a way to once more have my Mozilla without this PC Keeper.

    You seem to have an idea that a virus will break your laptop, which isn't true. Viruses do not cause physical damage to a computer, anything they do is software related, all of which can be undone.
    I think that you may be leaving your Firefox profile intact when you uninstall Firefox, is that true? Are you checking the box "Delete user data" when you uninstall Firefox?
    Don't just give up, this is something we can resolve if you will just work with us :) and i promise, your computer will not be damaged and you won't have to buy a new one. I've spent 6 years removing viruses and never had one so bad a computer had to be replaced

  • Babylon search??? has attached to my firefox and I can't get rid of it. There is a back tab with firefox and a front and dominant one with babylon. Help

    i have no clue what babylon search is. it has taken a tab in front of firefox. i am terryfied since I use your browser for sensitive info.

    Any search toolbar and changes to search engines can take place by downloading and installing software; usually "free" software from the internet. Babylon can be downloaded and installed by itself or as a "ride-along" when installing/updating some software from the internet. Always look for an opportunity during the installation to un-check boxes that will install "ride-along" items that you do not want. Firefox installation does not include such "ride-along" items.

  • The Bing web browser has ijacked my Firefox browser. How can i get rid of it.

    I downloaded some wallpaper images from Bing. Which i can no longer delete. Then out of the blue Bing took over as my browser

    I am just guessing here but possibly Bing has reset your homepage, or has installed some sort of application/toolbar.
    To reset your homepage see: [[How to set the home page]]
    To look for unwanted addons use Tools -> Add-ons and disable &/or uninstall anything that is unwanted.

  • I installed a music downloader Imesh which has taken over my Firefox browser, how can I get rid of it?

    I installed a program called iMesh to play music on my computer via the internet. When I used Firefox now the search windows have been taken over by 'iMesh Web Search' and they don't bring up the same lists when I searched Firefox previously; e.g. it is very difficult to get 'Hotmail' to come up. I have uninstalled the iMesh program from the computer (not just deleted the icon), but my Firefox remains invaded. Please can you help?
