Safari goes to MacCleaner without prompting it.

Safari goes to MacCleaner without prompting.  Is this a virus? How do I reset? Can Safari be deleted and reinstalled?  What is best way to get it to stop?

You are welcome.
You may want to be more careful of the sites you use for downloads. There are a number of them that have recently started loading a bunch of crappy adware into their download. So when you install the download it is installed to your Mac along with the stuff you wanted. A site to check into about download sites to boycott is http://www.thesafemac.com/boycott-cnets-download-com/

  • Could you play a live stream from safari to apple tv without going through itunes?

    could you play a live stream from safari to apple tv without going through itunes?

    There is no way to stream Safari content, with or without iTunes, to your AppleTV.
    The only way would be to use a mirroring feature given that you have an AppleTV 2nd gen or newer and a 2011 or newer MBP running mountain lion.
    If not, some third party software like AirParrot can also gives you way to mirror your MBP display on the TV.

  • How do I prevent auto-login? I never EVER save passwords, yet FF logs me into gmail without prompting for login.

    I never save passwords - never have, never will. Using evil IE, Gmail works correctly in that it prompts me for ID and password for each new browser instance. Yet when I open gmail with FF, it goes straight to my inbox without prompting for ID or password. I use gmail in "always secure" mode. Cookies are enabled, of course, just did not expect my password to be saved and loaded from a cookie. How can I rectify this problem?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have this issue too. I have never asked to be "always signed in" with gmail, yet sometimes it will sign me in automatically when I open my Firefox browser. I try clearing everything I can clear ( even though I've said NOT to save my password or sign in automatically), but it still happens. It's not even consistent - sometimes it will happen and sometimes not. This is very frustrating. I share my computer and I do not want automatic sign in anytime! >:o(

  • IPod Nano 7g will jump songs randomly and start voiceover without prompting.

    This has been happening for about two days now. The iPod is fully charged and I have restored it several times. Without prompting and without pushing buttons, the iPod will start jumping to random songs, going back to the beginning of a song or podcast, and the voiceover will begin.

    In Settings > Music turn off Shake to Shuffle and Voiceover.

  • How can I update my Safari 5.1.10 without updating my OS 10.6.8 to Yosemite?

    How can I update my Safari 5.1.10 without updating my OS 10.6.8 to Yosemite?

    It may seem a bit irrelevant but I also have a question, regarding Safari 5.1.10, just a bit different one that I asked some time ago and will try once again: If I'm a Lion user, can I update my Safari 5.1.7 to 5.1.10? 5.1.7 came with Lion 10.7.5 I'm currently on.
    Much appreciated,
    I.S.

  • How to auto-store files without prompting 'save as'. Adobe X/Adobe X Pro

    We have a database program that we have a lot of dokuments on. We have a option to print all documents on each case, and we want to "print" all these documents (word 2003) to the PDF printer and store the files on a pre-defined adress (Example: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\StoreHere\)
    We have the "Printer" set as PDF printer as standard, so every time we press print we are prompted to where we want to print the said .doc file. So how to we avoid the prompting and make a setting a standard?
    This is OK when its 1-5 files, but when we have 1000 .doc files, things gets very tiresome.
    TL;DR: Print .doc files to PDF reader which will auto store any and all .doc files as .pdf files into a pre-defined adress without prompting "save as".

    You posted in the wrong place. This is the Reader forum and the Adobe PDF printer is a part of Acrobat...
    But anyway, to do that right-click the printer and select Printing Preferences, then go to the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab and click on the Browse button next to the "Adobe PDF Output Folder" drop-down. Select the folder where you want the files to be saved and click OK.
    That should do it...

  • Shut Down Without Prompt

    Hello. I have a Mac Mini connected to a TV. Although I have a wireless keyboard and mouse for it, I usually use a remote, or connect via VNC. I would like to be able to shut it down by just pressing the power button,  like you can do on any PC, but instead,  when I push the button it asks me for confirmation. Is there a way to have it just do a clean shutdown without prompting me? Thanks.

    Hi Diane, follow these instructions to the letter, especially the part about leaving it in sleep mode without power for at least 5 hours:
    1) Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    2) Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
    3) Disconnect the power adapter while the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
    4) At this point, save your work. _Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low, the computer will automatically go to sleep._
    5) _Allow it to sleep for five hours or more._
    6) Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again

  • Report execution without prompting user id

    Hi,
    Is it possible to execute the report using Query designer/Web Application designer without prompting for User Id and password for selected queries?
    If possible, please let us know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    This is possible with workbook and by creating a macro which has the auto logon code. Create a workbook on the query and you need to create a macro and call the function 'sapBEXgetConnection'.
    With this you can specify the user id and password to workbook and when ever workbook is refreshed the logon will be done automatically for specified user id and password and data will be retrieved.
    Hope this gives you an idea.
    Regards

  • Firefox 3.6.9: Goes to sites without being asked, often just a new tab. Takes 2 "try agains" to get to a link; I have Windows XP Pro. I'm not tech-savvy :)

    9/12/10: More details: Firefox 3.6.9 goes to sites without my clicking on them (Google-Analytics, Wordslife, a gossip magazine, among others.). Google-Analytics and Wordslife appear as an address on a tab only; the gossip mag. appears when I minimize another site I'm on. I get a lot of "Firefox can't connect." I click "Try again." It usually does.
    I have Windows XP (Pro, I think), Norton Internet Security and Ad-Aware. I use Outlook Express and g-mail. I have an account at Yahoo mail, but I rarely use it.
    Also, my husband just swtiched us to a different router, but he hasn't experienced these problems.
    Copy and paste ALL the info. from Troubleshooting? Holy cow! Okay :)
    I am not tech-savvy, so I hope I'm clear on the problems. Thanks for whatever help you can give!

    Hello giamflo,
    I would recommend disabling your Norton 360 security. Navigate to device manager and right click on the USB Mass Storage driver that has a yellow exclamation mark and select uninstall. Make sure the BlackBerry smartphone is not plugged in and restart your computer. Once back up connect your BlackBerry smartphone before opening BlackBerry Desktop Software or re enabling Norton 360. Let windows install the drivers once you connect your BlackBerry smartphone and test with My Computer to make sure it was successful.
    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Export to Excel without prompt filename

    Hi, when I export to Excel on my PC it doesn't prompt file type (.mht by default), but it prompts for file name, what becomes annoying when you have to export lots of results. I want to export standard transactions results to Excel without prompting file name, it works like this in other PCs with older versions of SAP GUI. My SAP Gui is 7200.1.0.1050. SAP GUI, it works like I want in 7100.1.1.1028, but I can't get how to set it up.

    It might be a couple which you can easily delete
    By design, you can only export items and if you plan to export attachment or attachment url's. See some ref links here:

  • Opening external files directly?(without prompting)

    Hello,
    I'm making a DVD menu in flash. It will open several kinds of files. .mov .avi . ppt . pdf etc.
    But i want to open those files directly, without prompting. When i try to open non web files, a popup window appears, as shown in this screenshot: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5188/testtemp.jpg
    Can i remove it?
    I tryied to open the ppt file in the example with this ActionScript 2.0 code:
    on(release)
    getURL("estudo_01.pptx");
    Regards,
    Felipe

    If you're publishing an executable you need to look into the FSCommand functionality and use it to "run" an exec command against your files. Using getURL prompts the system to open the file using the browser, and naturally the browser wants to download the file first.
    Alternatively you can publish (if you have CS4 or up) a native executable using AIR 2.5 that can run simple load and execute the file but that's most likely more complex than just using FSCommand in your current project.
    Here are a couple of links to help you out with that:

  • When I click on show pdf in a browser then safari goes black. What to do?

    When I click on show pdf in a browser then safari goes black. Other browser like firefox work. What to do in Safari?

    Have you installed any PDF plugins or Adobe Acrobat Reader?  Schubert-it's PDF Plugin and Adobe's Acrobat Reader both may need updates to work properly in Safari.  Double check if you have either which version needs to be installed.

  • Goes into shutdown without command

    machine goes into shutdown without being commanded to do so. machine has been cleaned and all motherboard and card connections have been renewed. not sure if it is a hardware or software problem. have run 3 different antivirus and registery cleanings. can anyone advise? machine may run 15 minutes, 1 hour, or a whole day before malfunction occures. boots right back up like there is no problem. no error messages, blue screened once, but i think i caused that. geek squad was a waste of time(?!?). no other quirks occur.

    Hi:
    I doubt it is a software problem.
    If you have not done so already, carefully inspect the capacitors (can shaped objects) on the motherboard for bulging tops/leaking electrolyte.  If you find one, that is probably the problem.
    If they all look OK, and you have more than one memory module installed, remove all but one and run the PC with the one chip in the required slot.
    If the PC shuts down or whatever, remove that memory module and replace it with one of the ones you removed.
    Keep doing that until you have tested all modules by themselves.
    You may be able to isolate a flaky memory module which for the most part runs OK, but has its moments if the PC runs fine with all but one or two modules.
    The only other thing I can think of that it might be, is the power supply has some kind of fault. 
    I don't know of any way to test that though.
