Safari has pop ups with any click of the mouse

When either on Safari or Google chrome no matter if i click a link or click anywhere on the page or even in a box to type ill get a pop up overtime. it sometimes is mackeeper but thats not installed. my popup blocker is running as well so i know that. it may have been from going on unkown sites but every click i have no matter what site i have another tab that will pop open

Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Annoying pop ups with every click

    When connected to the internet, I keep getting ridiculous pop up ads with every click. The tech guys at the apple store deleted some apps but nothing has change. Can someone please tell me what's wrong and how to rectify it? I must say that there is a zip cloud thing, not sure if its an app on my laptop, I think I might have downloaded it accidentally. Could that be the problem?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of today, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the word something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
    "ZipCloud" is some sort of cloud-storage service with a doubtful reputation. The OS X client is sometimes distributed along with malware. Although ZipCloud may not be malicious itself, it should be deemed suspect by virtue of the company it keeps.
    To remove ZipCloud, start by backing up all data (not with ZipCloud itself, of course.)
    Quit the application, if it's running, and drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.autostart.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Trash.
    In the same folder, there may also be a file named
               com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.notify.plist
    Move that to the Trash as well.
    Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash.

  • Adverts open with every click of the mouse

    Every time I click my mouse to open any link or click anywhere on a safari page, it hasn't got to be a link, a new page opens with different adverts.   Any reason as to why this is happening?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked

  • Unable to select an image with right click of the mouse

    When in Library mode using grid view, right clicking on a thumbnail does not select the thumbnail, and previously selected items remain selected. If you then try to delete the item, you can inadvertently delete multiple items that you did not intend to delete and not the item you wanted to delete.
    Right clicking on an already selected image or one of a group of selected images works and all selected images can be deleted. However a right click on a non selected image should should drop any current selections and select only the image clicked. (This can be verified in Bridge)
    I am using Lightroom 1.3.1 in Windows XP SP2 with 2 gig of ram.

    Have you switched your mouse buttons i.e have you changed assignments to your mouse buttons in the control panel?
    If not, then clicking on an image will select it, CTRL-Click will select non-contiguous images, SHIFT-Click will select contiguous images.
    Right-clicking will show a context menu. (and the context menu will change if you have single multiple images selected: e.g if you select two images you will see a menu item Open in Compare that is not there if only a single image is selected, Delete Photo... becomes Delete Photos... etc)
    Also, in grid or filmstrip view you will see up to three levels of brightness on the frames around thumbnails:
    -lightest frame: the active image i.e. the one that will be opened if you go to develop mode, or will be used as "source" for synchronize command etc
    -medium: other images that you have selected.
    -darkest: images that are not selected.
    Selected images will also have a white frame immediately around the thumbnail.

  • Bugs? Pop-ups with raw footage appearing after Adobe Flash Player down-loaded.

    Hello! I am confused about what is appearing with my downloading Adobe Flash Player. I have used it before without problems but then I had to download it again to start holiday photos about 10 days ago. I immediately received pop-ups with raw footage (porn) on it. The ads said they were by 'bettersurf,' and 'done...' (something, I can't remember.) They would just pop-up in the middle of anything I was working on. I contacted Windows because it had a logo that looked like Adobe but it said that the windows media player needed to be updated. I'm good on all of that - no need to update. The only way to make it stop (I even blocked the sites from access, had the safety controls on 'strict' and parental safeguards on) was to turn off Adobe Flash Player. Well, I need to get the cards done and so I downloaded it again (with some difficulty I want to add even though I followed instructions to a 't'.) Sure enough I am getting pop-ups from the same ad company as before. I haven't yet seen porn but I'm suspicious. My system is 11.9.900.152 (64) Windows 7. Hopefully I have that right, I think that is the first no. When I check to see if Adobe Flash Player was downloaded correctly, etc. it verifies that it is. Can somebody help me? My daughter is young and I watch her when she is on the computer (I'm actually sitting right with her the whole time,) so I am positive she hasn't downloaded something wrong. And I want to add again that my settings are on strict, pop-ups turned OFF....and the pop-up regarding updating windows to have the flash player work correctly looks very much like a legit site - but I know it isn't.
    Thank you so much for any words of advice.

    You're infected.
    Those ads DON'T come from Flash Player (or Adobe), but they DO use it to display.
    Run a thorough virus scan, and download TDSSKiller to look for "adware".

  • No pop-ups with partner determination in Interaction Center Web UI

    Hi,
    We are working with SAP CRM 7.0 SP06 and have the following problem.
    In Interaction Center Web UI, when we create a sales order, the partner determination is triggered. But no pop-ups are shown to choose the right business partner. When we use Web UI for different Role (not Interaction Center), then we will get pop-ups to choose.
    So partner determination is alright, but pop-ups are not working for us in Interaction Center.
    I know when using SAP GUI Interaction Center, you have to implement SAP Note 487734 for getting the pop-ups. But this note is not relevant for CRM 7.0 and Web UI.
    Do you know what the problem is?
    Regards,
    Emile

    Hi Naga,
    In customizing go to:
    Customer Relationship Management => Interaction Center WebClient => Business Transaction => Define Business Transaction Profiles
    Then for your Business Transaction Profile go to 'Business Transaction Dialog Boxes' and mark the 'Allows Dialog Box' field.

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I have recently gotten many pop-ups with my blockers on.

    I thought this was from a virus because it started when we found a virus or infection "acer arcade" a week ago and it was very hard to get out of the computer. I got everything out and the computer says it is totally clean of viruses but I am still getting pop ups with my blockers on. Is there something the computer can't see or is there something i need add on from firefox??? The pop ups come about every 5 minutes and it is very annoying!!!

  • I bought pages on the app store and have math type installed. However I am do not have the option to "Insert Mathtype Equations" either with right click or the drop down menus at the top of the screen.

    I bought pages on the app store and have math type installed. However I am do not have the option to "Insert > Mathtype Equations" either with right click or the drop down menus at the top of the screen. I also have OS Lion installed if this makes any difference. Please help!

    I assume but I can't check that MathType rely on the standard iWork applications location which isn't the one used by the mac App Store.
    Create a subfolder named iWork '09 in the Applications folder.
    Select the iwork applications which you own then drag them into the iWork '09 folder.
    You will be asked to type your password. Don't worry, it's normal.
    It's required because the System must store the infos describing the new location so that, if a new revision is delivered, mac App Store will be able to find the apps where they are.
    When this will be done, try to re-install MathType.
    I guess that this time it will behave flawlessly.
