Redirection when browsing

Sometimes when I am clicking on web pages in Safari, a new widow will pop up randomly and redirect me to a random site. This new page though isn't like a normal safari page-its shorter and stretches to both sides of my screen, which makes me worried that there is a virus or bug or something on my computer. The redirected page takes me to Google Analytics sometimes, and another site called upperup.com or something, which I have no idea what it is. Does anyone have any advice/solutions as to what I can do to protect myself? I contacted Google but they haven't responded. Please help if you can. Thanks.

It is possible you may have acquired a 'tracker cookie'.
You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
(Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)

  • Office Web Apps: WordViewer redirects when opening in Word

    I have installed Office Web Apps on a SharePoint 2010 farm and it works fine. However, when I have a Word document open in the browser and click "Open in Word" the Word Viewer control redirects the browser back to the document library. Can I somehow
    configure it to stop doing that? I want it to stay on the same page.
    /Andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    I think it was by design so that you only had the document open with one set of features. If you open a document in the Word desktop application, and introduce content or functionality to the document that will prevent other authors’ ability to
    edit the document in Word Web App.
    For example, don’t use permissions features such as editing restrictions or marking the document as final. If you want to restrict access to the document, use the permission features where the document is stored (SkyDrive, Office 365, or SharePoint).
    Also, If another author saves the document with unsupported features before you have saved the document in Word Web App, you might not be able to save your work in Word Web App. If you have Word 2010, Word 2013, or Word for Mac 2011 you can prevent losing
    your changes by opening the document in the Word desktop application. Click
    Open in Word, copy your changes from Word Web App, and then paste them in the document in Word. When you save the document in Word, your changes are saved on the server.
    That said I will send an email out to our DL to see if there is a relatively painless way to modify the behavior.

  • Folders disappear and come back when browsing micr...

    Dear all,
    Have searched the forums extensively but cannot find the solution to the following problem:
    Windows XP SP2
    PC suite 6.84 10 3
    Nokia 6233
    Micro SD 64MB (came with phone)
    Bluetooth connection to ACER 803LMi (working ok)
    When browsing the phone via PC Suite, all files and folders on the phone memory (C-drive on phone) can be seen and used. However, when browsing the 'Extra' folder on Micro SD card (E-drive on phone) and clicking on a standard subfolder (pictures, music files, etc), then all these folders disappear one by one and directly come back after disappearing. I can't however for example see the music files in the music folder, although they are there when playing them on the phone.
    In addition, it happend also when using the pc suite 6.70 rel 25 that came with the phone but it still also happens with 6.84.
    Hope someone can help or redirect me in case I missed the topic if already discussed.
    thanks,

    Hi Miksu,
    Yes, when I tried to copy music with PC Suite, it created a new folder 'Music' and that shows in the phonebrowser including the files in there. I then also changed the destination folder in PCS to the standard 'Extra - Music Files', however it then created a new folder 'Music Files' and didn't use the folder already there.
    I'll try to copy some new files in all subfolders under 'Extra' and let you know the outcome of what the phonebrowser does. I'm merely a somewhat senior end-user (understanding what is said in the forums) but not really the go-into-all-technical-details guy. I'm really happy with this phone and don't want to crash it already.
    Maybe this topic however can help others.
    thanks again,
    Coffey

  • Screen Goes Black and Hangs when browsing by Artist, Album, Song, etc.

    I'm having a fairly huge issue with Front Row:
    I can play video files (although their is a moment of hangtime between selecting a video and the video actually playing) and music files (if I choose the "Shuffle Songs" option), however, when I choose to browse my music by artists, albums, songs, genres, etc. my screen goes black and stays that way until I hit CMD+Q over and over until it finally quits. Furthermore, when I do play music via "Shuffle Songs" and quit out of Front Row, the music continues to play in the background and cannot be stopped, paused, etc.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me fix this? I love Front Row and use it all the time and it would be a shame not to be able to anymore..
    Thanks in advance,
    Corey

    I have a similar problem. When browsing music the screen goes to black or just freezes on whatever was beeing displayed for maybe 30 seconds to a minute before continuing. It happens quite often. I am running the latest version of Front Row on a brand new Mac Mini. I have a very large iTunes music folder (about 830 gigabytes of uncompressed AIFF files) running on an external FW800 drive. I tried repairing permissions and a number of Front Row and a few iTunes files appear in the list. However, when I run repair permissions again, the same files are still listed so obviously if they need to be repaired, it's not happening. I tried repairing the volume (no problems found) and repairing permissions from the Install disc but the result was identical.

  • TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

    my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
    I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

    Is there a way to hide them so that my kids will never see them when looking for new apps?

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • Firefox don't close when "browsing and Download History" is deleted on exit

    Firefox doesn't close properly in about 50 % of cases. When closing FF, the window closes but the process firefox.exe isn't terminated. When trying to open FF again you got the error message "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." After terminating the process firefox.exe in the windows task manager, FF can be started again.
    Error only occurs when under "Options/Privacy/Use custom settings for history" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" the option "Browsing and Download History" is selected.
    All other options selected or not don't cause the issue.
    I switched this option it several times. When "Browsing and Download History" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" isn't selected, the error doesn't appear.
    Reproducible regardless if "Remember my browsing history" and "Remember download history" are selected or not.
    Reproducible:
    - after new installation of Firefox (Firefox 29.0.1 german, Windows7 64-bit)
    - with different profiles, even with all addons disabled or running in safe mode
    - with new profile with no addons or dictionaries installed
    - with windows firewall turned off and deactivated antivirus program
    - with hardware accellaration on and off
    I know the issue has already reported at bugzilla.mozilla.org and described at
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997918
    https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/997670
    I want to describe the problem more precisely:
    It only occurs when "Browsing and Download History" is delete on exit. The other option at "Clear History when Firefox closes" don't cause this issue.
    Is there any other solution then to turn "Browsing and Download History" off?

    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
    be caused by the clear history settings.
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

  • Can't find photos on iPhone when browsing on computer

    I manually backup all the photos on my iPhone 5s once every couple of months, but recently came across a problem.
    -I'm running IOS 8.1.2
    -I've historically used iCloud and Photostream to back up my pictures, and then I'd occasionally copy pictures to a backup hard drive by browsing/copying them via Explorer from my Windows 8.1 workstation.   I have not yet turned on the new "iCloud Photo Library" beta feature.  I thought about it, but it immediately warned me about losing all pictures on my phone, and I wanted to back them up first.   And this led to the below scenario . . .
    I tried backing up my photos to a hard drive for the first time in a couple of months today, but ran into a strange problem.   (Probably first time since upgrading to IOS 8)
    I only have about 300 pictures on my phone.   When I plug my iPhone in via USB, I can browse the iPhone memory like a flash drive.  I go into the DCIM folder, there are a bunch of subfolders that contain pictures.   There are a number of pictures on my iPhone that I don't see when browsing this directory.  The are all more than a couple of months old.
    I CAN see the "missing" pictures when browsing my phone via the Photos app.  They're both in the Photos/Moments section and also within the Albums\iPhone from my Computer section.    I'm assuming these have been backed up via iCloud, but don't see any way that I can retrieve them so that I can backup manually.
    I do have the iCloud control panel installed on the workstation.  It is logged in successfully, and the photo stream and iCloud Photo Sharing options are all active.   The local iCloud directory (e:\iCloud) that I've set is empty though.  No pictures reside there at all.   I also have a Windows 8.1 item on my "This PC" panel for "iCloud Photos".  I'm not sure if that's using the same directory I just mentioned, but it's empty as well.   Finally, I went to the default Windows 8.1 "Pictures" directory as well.   Also empty.
    Is anyone familiar with how to access pictures in iCloud and download them manually?  I'm assuming that's what needs to be done.

    I am having this issue too.  Have you happened to find a solution?
    I can transfer them via airdrop to the computer, but that takes a heck of a long time.

  • We have 2 iphone 5s sharing the same apple ID.  When browsing Safari on one phone it automatically sends a link to that page to the other phone.  How do we turn this off please?

    It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones.  I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

  • When browsing a new library that I created, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle the image appears. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles?

    When browsing a new library that I created and exported onto an external hard drive, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle, the image appears, but all the other rectangles remain empty - no image. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles? I am viewing this on a second computer (an older intel duo iMac), not the one I created the library on (a MacBook Pro). Both computers have Aperture 3.2.4 installed. When I return the external to the MacBook, all images appear in browser rectangles. What's happening on the iMac?

    You may have a problem with the permissions on your external volume. Probably you are not the owner of your library on the second mac.
    If you have not already done so, set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag on your external volume. To do this, select the volume in the Finder and use the Finder command "File > Get Info" (or ⌘I).
    In the "Get Info" panel disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick, open the padlock, and enable the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do this.
    Then run the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" on this library and repair the permissions. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while you double click your Aperture Library. Select "Repair Permissions" and run the repair; then repeat with "Repair Database". Do this on the omputer where you created the library and where you can see the thumbnails.
    Then check, if you now are able to read the library properly on your iMac.
    Regards

  • Just bought new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I have my hand on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. What gives?

    Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?

    From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click.  Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not show PDF thumbnails when browsing

    When I am browsing through PDF files to open one of them in Adobe Illustrator CS5 it does not show the thumbnail.  When I am browsing in Adobe Acrobat it does show the thumbnails.  If I have Adobe Acrobat open and am browsing through files and the thumbnails are showing then if I open Adobe Illustrator and browse for a file the thumbnail does show up. 
    How can I get Illustrator to always show the PDF thumbnails.  I have to frequently browse through thousands of PDF files and it is imperative that I can see the thumbnail for these PDF files.  I primarily use Illustrator to edit PDF files.
    The computer is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit edition.  Thumbnails barely work when browsing files through Explorer.  Some thumbnails will show, but not very many of them and it is extremely slow to load the thumbnails that will display.

    Bob,
    So I am assuming you are talking about viewing the files using this method first:
    To use the 32-bit version of Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
    Click Start, click Run, type the following in the Open box, and then click OK:
    Drive_Letter:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
    Note The placeholder Drive_Letter represents the drive where the x64-based version of Windows is installed.
    Please let me know if I am missing what you are saying here.
