There are adds and pop-ups everywhere they shouldn't normally be, how do i get rid of them?

when i go on tumblr, a blogging website, i get theses adds at the top of my page that lag my browser. i also get little square adds every few posts, down my dashboard. im not sure if its because i downloaded something bad, or a virus, or i don't know. but everything in general is lagging. these adds, pop up on every site i go to. they are super annoying! i ran CC cleaner, and it didn't work. I'm trying to avoid a system reboot....again. so, i need an easy solution to avoid getting these silly things.

You didn't mention which security software you run, but you may want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
Meanwhile, within Firefox, disable ALL newer, nonessential, and unrecognized extensions here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Any change?

  • I downloaded a "free" program online and now with EVERY mouse click I get a pop-up Ad or Ad window opening. How do I get rid of them?

    I downloaded a "free" version of FLIP4MAC, and now I have Ads popping up with EVERY click of the mouse... How do I get rid of them?  
    And no, I haven't turned on TimeMachine yet, so I can't "turn back the hands of time." 
    Also, I cannot simply "block pop-ups" because other sites which utilize pop-ups are necessary to my daily activities.
    Oh, and I have an iMac 24", Early 2009 with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory RUNNING OS X Yosemite.

    First try
    Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac
    Next:
    Adwaremedic: Removes all known adware from your Mac

  • I took off my screen protector, and it left bubbles in the actual screen! How do I get rid of them?

    I put on the screen protector and noticed it had some bubbles so I peeled it back to fix it. Well, what I though was an air bubbles in the protector, was a bubble in the screen!! This WAS NOT there before. How do I get rid of the bubble that is in the iphone?
    Thanks!

    zinkiew,
    Why don't you go to the "Screen Protector Mfg" web site and see what they say about removing the residue mark. Most all S. P. sites have a section on how to clean the screen when you take the protector off.
    That said have you tried a damp soft cloth?
    You can also try a piece of "Scotch Tape"... press the sticky side of the tape on the bubble mark and then lift it off. You may have to do it several times to get it all.
    Their may be some solvents like alcohol that will remove the mark if it is glue residue from the protector. But make sure you check with Apple before you use any solvents. Some solvents may attack the Oleophobic coating on the iPhone screen.
    You can also Google for a solution to your problem. I have seen several "How to" articles to deal with the issue you are having.
    Just so you don't do something to make things worse I will repeat my caveat - Check with Apple before you use anything but a damp soft cloth.

  • I have an older I-Pad and have daily recurring spam.  Always the same and some going back to January. I delete them every day and they delete them in the trash folder but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of them ?

    I have an older I-pad and have recurring spam. How do I stop it ???  I delete it every day and then delete the trash folder but it keeps coming back.  Thanks.

    For those kind of mails, unsubscribing doesn't work. they're breaking the law trying to scam you, they're not going to respect unsubscribe. Unsubscribe only works with real companies. Such as unsubscribing from Gap company mail etc. Spammers can actually use the 'unsubscribe' as a confirmation 'hey, there's a real person here, hit em hard'
    I'm not really familiar with g-mail, but most mail programs have filters you can set up, such as telling it 'everything with dating in the title, send to the trash' etc.
    You can do some research on that or have someone help you with some hands on help.
    If that e-mail has ever been used for e-greeting cards, or given to enter contests, etc, your address is out there. You will never get rid of it totally.
    If it's really, really bad, sometimes what you have to do is abandon the address and get a new one and only give it out to people you want to contact you. Don't  enter it on websites, or use e-cards or things like that that are spam collection mechanisms.

  • Suddenly there are multiple copies of the same ibook on my bookshelf. How do I get rid of the extra copies?

    I have purchased several ibooks from the bookstore over the last several months. Suddenly there are multiple copies of several titles. Not coincidentally I am have trouble downloading newly purchased titles. I am receiving a message that there is insufficient space when there is, in fact, 6GB+ available. How to proceed?

    Quit iBooks completely and reboot the iPad.
    From your home screen -Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the iBooks app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go back to iBooks and see if the duplicates have disappeared.

  • I updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. the fox is gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

    Last week i downloaded Filezilla to edit my web page. When i did so, the firefox page looked weird -- there was no fox. The page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. So i updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. The fox is still gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

    Sorry this is really your only support option. The live chat support option was closed down last year.
    Maybe attaching some screen shots will help us understand your problem. I am not sure I understand about ''the fox is gone'' & ''he page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. ''

  • I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

    i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

    Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
    So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
    To change that select:
    Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
    Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
    It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
    Menu > View > Hide Layout

  • When I close firefox, there are two annoying window underneath that I always have to close and they are always there again next time; how do I get rid of them for good?

    When I close Firefox, there are two underlying windows that I have to close every time. How do I get rid of them for good and prevent this from continuing to happen. Both windows were opened by me during viewing at some point, so they did originate from me.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

  • There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

    There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • On my ipad, there are dozens of "recently purchased" songs supposedly available for download from iCloud.  I don't recognize most of the songs - they could have been downloaded 6 years ago by my daughter.  How do I get rid of them?

    So there are all these songs, from ADELE to Zapp and Roger.  I don't recall purchasing any of them.  Some of them were clearly purchased years ago by my daughter, who now has a different account (and doesn't know the current password to my account).
    They do not show up anywhere in iTunes except on the iPad.  They are not downloaded to the iPad - but I don't want them to show up in the purchased index.  How do I get rid of them?  Do I have to join iMatch or whatever to do this?
    Also, this may explain why we're being told our iCLoud storage is full - there are actually hundreds of these unwanted songs.
    Any ideas? 

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Look here for help on managing iCloud storage.

  • What are the boxes that appear when I scroll over them at the top and bottom of a Pages document, and how do I get rid of them?

         While types a blank document on pages, there are "invisible" boxes at the top and bottom of each page, and they only appear when I scroll over them. Does anyone know what these boxes are, and how i can get rid of them from my paper?

    Those are the Header and Footer spaces. You remove them using the Document Inspector. Uncheck the "Headers" and "Footers" checkboxes shown checked here:

  • What are the '- -' entries in the AGG operator and how do I get rid of them

    Greetings
    Environment:
    OWB Client 10gR1 (10.1.0.4) on Windows XP Professional
    Repository 10.2.0.2.0 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
    Target schema 10.2.0.2.0 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
    Several times now in different maps I have modified input and output columns in an AGG operator only to have a bunch of '- -' show up in the Operator Properties. They obviously are causing problems when the PL/SQL is generated.
    What causes them and more importantly how do I get rid of them without deleting and redefining the entire AGG operator?
    I've done that in the past when this has happened previously but I'm tired of that and hope there is a more elegant solution.
    Thanks very much in advance for all the assistance.

    I think this happens when you remove the ingrp field without removing it from the outgrp field and group by or having clause first.
    If you remove it from the outgrp, then remove it from the group by/having, then remove it from the ingrp, it shouldn't mess it up.
    It is one of those quirks of OWB that I've just grown to accept. I wonder if this was fixed in 10gR2.
