The ad takes over and I can't get rid of the horrible voice that talks about electronic cigarettes! How do I kill it?

When I go to a bookmarked web page your ad page comes up. If I click it off it continues in the background. It is usually about an electronic cigarette. It continues forever. The only way I can get rid of it is to set my volume to mute. It is really annoying!

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

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I can't get rid of the error message

    I just purchased a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from Blackberry's website. When I launch the Desktop manager I get this message: "Before you begin, verify that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." The troubleshooting posts I've seen on this forum include many tips (the ones I've tried are below). One in particular I can't do is "The desktop manager is showing "disabled."
    -Make sure that the user has gone into the desktop manager and selected options > connection settings > detect."
    ... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the options menu in the BB Desktop Manager.
    I have tried the following:
    uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
    moved the cable to the USB port in the back (after trying both the ports in the front) of the computer
    restarted the computer many times
    hard booted the phone by removing the battery
    plugged in, removed, and replugged in the phone.
    Also:
    The phone is installing correctly when I plug it in, but the software still doesn't seem to see it.
    In the Device Manager, the BlackBerry is showing up under Portable Devices. Double-clicking on it gives me the reassurring "This device is working properly." message.
    The Com1 port is working properly also, according to the Device Manager.
    Double-clicking on the device manager icon to get the properties shows that the Com1 port is "disconnected" -- when I try to configure it it just pops back to the disconnected state.
    If someone has an idea or something I haven't tried I'd sure appreciate it!!
    Thanks!

    Solved!

    Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
    You can check your USB drivers this way:
    Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
    Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
    Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
    Click on the Driver tab
    Click on the Driver Details button
    You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
    So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
    From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
    Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
    Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
    Hope this helps someone.

  • On certain pages, a big circle with an arrow inside it takes the foreground in the bottom left corner, and I can't get rid of it.

    This image is something new on my screen, probably since the last Fx update or so.
    I think this big-circle-with-an-arrow-inside may be a sign indicating that I need to download something, or that something is available for download. I see it on sites featuring various media, such as on some of Amazon's digital music pages and also on some of IMDb's pages.
    Further regarding any downloads, I don't know if this circle refers to a plugin, or a media file, or if, in fact, either.
    I have no idea what the circle with an arrow is trying to tell me, nor do I know how to get rid of it. It takes over the forefround of the corners where it resides, rendering any links beneath it inoperable. At the very least, I would just like to make it go away.
    Thanks for any help you may offer :-)

    Thanks for your interest in my problem. I'm sending along a screenshot.
    FYI, when I tapped on the arrow, a new tab opened at the following location:
    chrome://fvd.single/content/fennec_streams_list.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fdmusic%2Fcloudplayer%2Fplayer%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dnav_youraccount_cldplyr%23searchSongs%2FsearchTerm%3Dgood%2Bvibrations
    The page at this address is empty (all white) except for a small blue bar in the upper right corner that says "Download 5.3 1MB."
    Again, my thanks.

  • I was using the 4oD app on my iPod touch and when I went to watch something on it it froze my internet access and I can't get rid of the message "This movie could not be played". How do I fix this???

    Please help!!

    Have you tried resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My f-secure found the following harmfull item and I can't get rid of it. Can anyone help?

    user/sarah/Library/internet plug ins/conduitNPAPI plug in/contents/MacOS/conduitNPAPI plug in.

    Back up all data.
    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/Internet Plug-Ins
    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 may open. If it does, move the indicated item to the Trash.
    More importantly, you should remove the useless F-Secure product according to the developer's instructions. It does nothing to protect you from any real threat. All it does is waste your time and slow down the computer.

  • Can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

    In iWeb 2009, can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

    You have to put them on the server where you are publishing your site to. Where are you hosting your site? If it's a MobileMe account then you have two options:
    1 - put the photos in a folder, name it "Pics" and put that folder in your iDisk/Pictures folder. Then use the following URL: http://homepage.mac.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/.Pictures/Pic/FileName (don't forget the period before Pictures).
    2 - put the "Pics" folder with image files in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/FileName.
    If you're hosting on a 3rd party server it would depend on if you're using a domain name or not. I'm not familiar with 3rd party servers so Wyodor, Ethmoid or someone that is will need to point the way.

  • Why does the keyboard take over and type c's all across the search box (no hands involved)?

    Why does the keyboard take over and type c's across the search box (no hands involved)?

    There are only three possibilities. Either a dangling hand hitting the c key, or if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected and something is pressing a key, or you have some bad harware.  Eliminate the first two, and if you still have the problem, take it in for service or replacement
