What can I do with offensive ads that pop up on Facebook while using Firefox?

I have several problems with Firefox. When I am on Facebook there are several adds popping up on the sight for adult web sites. This is very offensive and what if a minor was using Firefox the same ads would appear. I also can be on any web site and and the page jumps to a new page for and ad. I do have a anti virus and malware remover so I know this is not my computer.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning 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 their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife.  I restored it to original factory conditions.  Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7.  What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife.  I restored it to original factory conditions.  Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7.  What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional except for the fact that you cannot updrade the iOS above version 5?

    Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.

  • Can someone help with a div that pops up when you hover over a button?

    I made a div that pops up (stacked on the rest of the page) when you hover over a button (gigs). It works in the safari preview but when I test it online it doesn't. It's above the logo instead of blocking it and on the left site instead of the right. And when you open the page it isn't hidden like in the preview. Does someone know what is wrong?
    The test page: Stuff

    Below code, onclick of 'GIGS' shows pop-up window. You then have a 'close' button which when clicked closes it.

  • What can be done with SpeedGrade CC that can't be done with a combination of effects in just Adobe Premiere Pro CC?

    SpeedGrade CC certainly makes it easy to adjust colors and whatnot, but can it do anything that Adobe Premiere Pro CC cannot do by itself (such as through lighting effects, multiple color correctors, etc.)?

    [oops]
    when I say "it's just useful to test Xlets", I don't want to say it does only minor things. I understand all the MHP stuff is complex to implement, so don't take it bad, I just expressed myself the wrong way :)

  • What can I do with Adobe Flash Upgrade required issues and facebook.

    I have Windows 7
    32 bit processor
    130 GHz
    IE 9.05 upgraded
    Adobe Flash 11.2.202.228
    I do not want to change to a differnt browser to fix this. I am not able to run some YouTube files if sent through email and any items that use flash on face book both ask for me to update. I uninstalled adobe and all of its products as well as deleted all internet files and cookies. I than re-installed Flash and rebooted and I still get the message that I need to update Adobe Flash and it will not let me view the information.
    I am not sure what to do next as this has been an issue for a long time.

    I know you mentioned that you deleted internet files and cookies, but can you try specifically deleting Flash cookies to be sure?
    How do I clear my Flash Player cache and settings?

  • I/O timeout all the time on console - what can I do with my hard drive? Macbook pro late 2011

    My macbook has been extremely slow for a while and after looking on this site I discovered I should look at the console - and noticed I had I/O timeouts all the time which I gather are a problem.
    What can I do with my hard drive? If I back it up using time machine and erase the disk with zeros will the problem continue if I simply restore from time machine?
    Or should I invest in a new hard drive - but if I buy a new hard drive is there something on my computer that will wreck that one as well? i use final cut pro/studio a lot and it's got to the stage where I can barely use it - do I need a 7200rpm hard drive? My current one is a 500gb 5400rpm.
    I have 16gb of RAM in but since upgrading this from 4GB it made a difference to the speed for all of two seconds then the computer returned to its normal slow speed.
    Would appreciate any help on this issue as I'm not particularly technical.

    I wouldn't worry too much about what the Console logs are showing... although I/O timeouts, if related to reading/writing to your disk may be a problem. I would have to see the whole Console message to know for certain...
    Your hard drive is sure to be slowing you down with FCP. Your best bet would be to upgrade to an SSD, if you can afford it. It's the only way you're going to see a real speed increase in FCP as so many large temp/cache files are written to the drive.
    If you can't afford a SSD, you may want to look at a 7200rpm SATA III drive (if your MBP supports SATA III - which model do you have? 2011 or later, I'm assuming, since you note that you've 16GB of RAM?).
    You should also update your OS to 10.7.5 if your profile reading of 10.7.2 is correct. Won't help speed, but will be more reliable -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582.

    I'm very sorry for your loss.
    Hope you manage to get the moisture out, you can pull teh device apart and shave off the rust and corrosion you see buy purchasing a mobile repair kit, however rust spreads in a matter of months..
    If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.

  • My iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen,  no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

    my iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen,  no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

    Hey there Galileo,
    It sounds like your iPhone screen is solid white and you cannot do anything with it. Take a look at these steps from the following article about that kind of issue:
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • TS1363 What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either?

    What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.

    I have Sony camera DSC-HX400V which does not have raw program. Pls explain what can I do with lightroom 5 with jpeg only
    Arieh Gertler
    [email protected]

    You can do just about anything with a JPEG image that you can with a raw image. The advantage of working with raw is that it is possible to work with more extremes in exposure. More highlights and shadows can be recovered in a raw image, but there is a lot that can be done with JPEG images as well. All of the library functions and keywording and all the other features of Lightroom can be used on JPEG images just as easily as they can be used on raw images.
    Having said all that, you might be more comfortable using Photoshop Elements. Both programs have trial versions that you can use for 30 days to decide which one or whether both will work for you. It would probably be to your advantage to try them out and decide for yourself.

  • FAQ: What can I do with Revel on a Windows based computer?

    Q: What can I do with Revel on a Windows based computer?
    A:  You can access your Revel account through a browser on a Windows based computer (or any computer with a web browser).
    Revel clients are currently available for iPad, iPhone and Mac, Android, and Windows 8.
    If you are on the browser version of adoberevel.com, you will notice that it does not offer editing capabilities. If you run Revel this way, you do have some options for editing and getting photos to revel:
    The browser version of revel at adoberevel.com does not provide an editor, however,
    you can edit in Photoshop Elements 11 or Lightroom and upload to Revel from there, use older versions of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or any other editing program and save the photos to your hard disk and then upload to Revel.  You also have access to the Photoshop.com Photoshop express editor if you are not a user of Elements or another editing program.

    What operating system are you using and version of photoshop elements?
    How much free space does your hard drive have?
