Remove google

hello. i have decided i do not want to trade privacy for convenience anymore. i have a think pad 1 android tablet and i want to completelty remove all google stuff. no apps... no accounts... no search history (you can find decades worth of your search history on your google dashboard.) im willing to completly erase everything on this tablet and start from scratch.
since ill be throwing it away anyway if i cant remove google im open to anything.
on some other forums ive heard trolls bash people like me as needing 'tinfoil hats' i think thats insane. you wouldnt want your coworkers to know your medical searches' your love emails to your spouse or your location at 2am on a friday. why do you think google should know?
i think privacy is entirely reasonable. i wish i hadnt waited this long.
thanks so much.

If you want privacy root and remove google, but lenovo should stick with google!

My macbook's performance is quite slow and it freezes I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips?

I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips? I contacted a support member but unfortunately my warranty has run out, he suggested that may be a result of putting the mac into sleep constantly, and not shutting down and that there may be files i can clear to remedy the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Regards.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

How do I remove google chrome from my IPAD air

I have a pop-up ad for Battery Doctor that has frozen google chrome. I do not want to click on the "OK" link on the ad. The url associated with the ad is http://secureandroid.mobi, which does not work. Is there a way to remove google chrome?

Give your device a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. You'll see a silver apple. Let go of the buttons and let it reboot. Then once it restarts, to delete chrome, you can hold your finger down on that icon until they all start to wiggle. you'll see a white X in a red circle.. Tap on that and follow the prompts and you can delete chrome.
But if you don't want to delete it, you can go into the settings and see if you can remove chrome's history and cache, which should remove that popup that's bugging you.

Your question presupposes a conclusion that will only mislead you and others into pursuing solutions that are likely to exacerbate whatever problem exists.
Please describe the problem you are experiencing, and the equipment being affected by the problem. Your question was posted in the Power Mac Discussions area while your equipment profile indicates a Mac Pro, and a version of iOS inapplicable to either of them. All that information conflicts with itself, so please resolve those discrepancies.

Howto remove google search as default on address line

Firefox defaults to google when typing a search query on the address lines. How can I remove google and replace it with Ixquick. I removed google from the manage search engine list, but it still works on the address line.

Change search engine in address/location/awesome bar:

type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button''' i'll be careful i promise'''
then type in the bar '''keyword.url'''
then '''right-click''' on it, select '''modify''', type https://ixquick.com/ (for ixquick), click '''OK''',

How can I remove google custom search bar from about:newtab page

When I open Firefox or a new tab I have it set to about:newtab which is great and all. Just recently I noticed a Google search bar on the new tab page though, that it immediately sets my cursor to. I prefer typing in the normal address bar at top. If I don't think to take that extra tedious step to click on the address bar before typing it opens to Google Custom Search Engine. Which does not have the images, maps, etc tabs along top. Making a simple task of researching something or other purpose just that much more annoying to do, because I'll have to type into the address bar anyways.
So I was hoping there is a way to remove this annoying Google Custom Search Bar from my about:newtab?
Or at the least make my cursor start in the address bar, not the Google Custom Search Bar.
This is a screen-cap of the Search Bar. http://gyazo.com/d75ccdea9b9d0bb4a3d347664be73771

How do I remove google redirect virus??? I can't get onto any sites that will offer help - as they're all "redirected!!"

I've got a GOOGLE REDIRECT VIRUS, and am not able to enter any websites that will give removal information - as I'm being REDIRECTED! I need to know the name of the file to remove...and where/how!!! Any/ALL internet inquiries for assistance are....being redirected/hijacked. HELP.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== yesterday.

This malware is actually in your add-ons. Go to Tools in your browser and click Add-ons and see if there are any add-ons that you didn't install. Mine was called '''XUL Cache''' that added itself. I uninstalled it and the problem was gone but the addon can have different names.

Removing Google Search History

Hello.
I use Google as my home page on Safari, and usually use it to direct my browser to where I would like to go. I have been a fan of Google remembering things that I've typed into my search bar, so that I only need to type a couple letters and I can select from the list.
However, I let my little brother use my computer for a bit, and he proceeded to type every pokemon's name he could remember into my google search bar, and proceed to other pages from there. Now, my google auto-suggest continues to suggest pokemon names whenever I type into it.
Is there any way that I can make Google forget things from the pull-down menu? I don't mind resetting all of it, if that's what has to be done.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Go back to your Google Home Page. In the upper right select "web history". If you are not logged in, the next screen will let you do that. In the Web History page you'll find options about history, including removal of some or all of the entries. Proceed from there.

How to remove google loop trogan

Hello,
My husband's Mac Book Pro seems to have gotten a trogan that initially showed up as a google loop. It is not making him a happy camper. There is information out there on removing this but we are not sure if it is safe information. So I came here for the first time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help us clean up this situation and secure his computer?
Thank you!

What is a Google loop? Could you describe the behavior you are seeing in more detail?

How to Remove Google AdSense?

I have about 50 pages on all of which I've placed Google ads (usually 3 per page).
How do i remove the ad source code without going in manually through 50 pages?
I've been trying the "Find And Replace" feature, but the problem is that the each ad has a different id eg. google_ad_slot = "4990234046"; and the next one will be: google_ad_slot = "4990234047"; . All of the code is the same, just the ad slot number varies. Is there a script for this?
Can anybody help me?

I have modified your code to: <script type=\"text\/javascript\">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
or on this:
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
Can you try and modify it more?

Please can you advise me how to remove Google everything, as I do not like it and I did not want it. Many thanks

Google everything has suddenly appeared and I cannot find an easy and understandable way to remove it

If you don't like "Google everything", why did you ''(or somebody with access to your PC)'' install the Google Toolbar extension??

DM Removes Google Talk when adding other applications

I installed Google Talk directly to the phone via the blackberry website. The problem I have is that if I try to install another program through DM 4.7, it removes the Google Talk modules from the phone.GoogleTalk does not appear in my application list on the phone or in DM.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
Is there a way to backup the Google Talk modules? I tried 3rd party applications backup in the device switch wizard but that only backs up every other software except Google Talk!
My device software is 4.5.0.160
DM v4.7
Any help is appreciated

The problem is that it doesn't show up in the application wizard. I can't use app world either because I don't have a blackberry browsing plan, just email and instant messaging and mobile browsing through my provider (Telus).

I want to REMOVE Google Update 1.3.21.153 plugin.There isnsn't any remove button!!!

I'm using Firefox 19.0.After installing Google earth plugin i noticed that it also installed Google update plugin.
So after uninstalling Google earth plugin i expected to uninstall the Google update plugin too.
But this didn't happen,and there isn't any remove button.only enable /disable button.
This is major security risk...unacceptable.

the plugin file named npGoogleUpdate3.dll is usually located in ''C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Update\<versionnumber>''. you can delete it manually to get it out of the list of installed plugins in firefox.
please direct your complaint about these pervasive tactics to google. as far as i remember the google updater is also silently registered as auto-start program and as scheduled task in the task planner once you install any google software...
