  • I am disabled, so I need voice contact with someone in Support. An alien program has taken over Firefox and I can't locate the files to delete front he rogue.

    The program that has taken over Firefox is called "inbox." I have disabled its cookies, but now, of course, I can't use the Firefox no matter who had taken it over.
    This is serious. I can' find the files with any routine search of my computer files, so they must be hidden.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • How do I get rid of a search engine that has taken over Firefox?

    I have a problem similar to the "Abuchak" problem listed in your forums. This is something different though. When I am at Yahoo or Google, I click a link and it takes me to another search listing. Sometimes it takes me to various sites where Avast (virus proggy) tells me it has blocked a malicious virus.
    The last website it sent me to was http://64.111.211.188
    I can, however, highlight the website under the link and paste it in the address field and that works out, but that's a pain. This has been going on for 2 weeks.
    I have run Spybot, SpySweeper & Ad-Aware but it doesn't help.
    How can I keep this software from taking over Firefox?
    Please help. Thanks.

  • PCPowerBoost has taken over FireFox; how can I remove it?

    When downloading Adobe Flash, I got a bundle of other stuff (unwanted). I was able to uninstall all but PCPowerBoost 1.0.5. That seems to have infected FireFox. When I open FireFox, the search engine that comes up is Astromendia. I deleted that from my list of programs but I believe it's embedded in PCPowerBoost. I have uninstalled and reloaded FireFox but with the same result. How can I get rid of PCPowerBoost?

  • Firefox 9 has taken over Firefox 3.6.25

    I installed Firefox 9.0.1 in a different folder (program files>mozilla firefox9) rather than deleting 3.6.25 (program files>mozilla firefox) in order to keep the "old" version. Version 9 is not compatible with several of my add-ons. However, whichever version I start 9.0.1 comes up. Can I use the Windows XP control panel to delete Firefox 9 without damaging my 3.6.25 installation?

    Make sure that you use separate profile for each version and that Firefox 9 isn't running when you want to start Firefox 3.6.x<br />

    Otherwise you need to add the -no-remote switch to the command line in the target field.

  • Firefox has taken over my computer to the extent that I can't get out of firefox back to my regular homepage and moreover I can't even log out or shut down.

    When I try to log on as I have usually done I get a small window
    stating that an error has occurred and when I click on what should solve the problem a larger white window appears stating
    I should not close the window...although several times I have
    not close the window all I get is 2 blue spinning circles.
    I feel like Firefox has taken over my heretofore routine
    usage of my computer and I have lost control. HELP!!!!!

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • I recently updated Firefox and something called Fantistic Games has taken over my homepage and I can't get rid of it.

    I used to get a field of 9 options to open when I opened a new page by clicking on the + button on the right side of the Search tab. After I updated Firefox a couple of days ago, my homepage had been taken over by something called "Fantasti Games". I can't find it anywhere to uninstall "Fantisti Games". I now have Google come up as my homepage when I open Mozilla Firefox, but each tab that I open comes up with the "FantastiGames" search engine. I need to get rid of that from my computer and revert back to what I had before, which was when I opened a new tab, I got nine large icons on the screen that gave me the choice of common sites to go to (such as AOL, YouTube, Weather.com, Google, etc.). Please tell me how to uninstall "FantastiGames".

    This is embarrassing. It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the remove button.
    # Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Firefox Safe mode has taken over my computer, how do I turn it off?

    Something called Firefox Safe mode has taken over my computer, how do I turn it off?

  • Firefox has taken over almost all of my desktop and I can't remove it....

    Firefox has taken over three quarters of my desktop and I can't remove it. This is irritating and I will remove firefox if this continues,
    I have pictures of my daughter as my desktop and do not appreciate this.

    On any windows machine use "Alt+SpaceBar" to help you move or resize the window.
    Windows 7 (only) users can use WinKey+leftarrow (cursor keys) to reposition window to the left half of the screen and then you can resize or move from there with the normal methods. Works nicely if you for instance lost your window on another monitor or want to switch the window to a different monitor in use. (something to look forward to in the future as you are on Vista)
    Please refer to the following article for many more tips, more complete information on how to fix, and if possibly an extension is involved in the problem.
    * '''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window'''
    It is still possible to resize and move windows with JavaScript for those who lost the ability with Firefox 8.0 and above, but it involves a couple of extra steps covered in the above article.

  • Last time I updated firefox Yahoo has taken over. I hate yahoo and would like to remove it is that possible?

    when I uploaded the new version of firefox yahoo has taken over. It over rides everything and I want to remove it is that possible to keep firefox but remove yahoo?
    When I put a address in the address bar yahoo over rides it and it goes to a yahoo page.

    Hi All,
    Have just sorted this problem. Do the following:
    type into your address bar> about:config
    this will bring up the usual warning that it might void your warrantee. Click> I'll be careful I promise.
    in the filter bar at the top enter "Yahoo" without the quotes.
    At the bottom of the list ther'll be a string named "Keyword.url. Right click on this and select reset.
    While your in there if you like you can right click on any of the yahoo lines and select modify. Once once the box opens replace Yahoo by overtyping Google.
    Close the tab and that should cure the problem.
    All the best
    Mick

  • In the middle of an email composition, an address drop-down appears & I have to close the app. & lose my work. Or it will just hang up. This is new. What the Hell is going on? Has Microsoft taken over Firefox?

    Firefox has recently started hanging up in the middle of an email composition; I have to lose my work & restart the app. to continue. Or, it will drop down an address list which cannot be removed; same result. What the Hell is going on? Has Microsoft taken over Firefox?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Recently

    That is correct.
    That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period
