What is rewardzone and why do I get it with every exit of Firefox, requiring an additional two steps to close?

When I ose Firefox, another screen pops up as the screen I''m working on closes. It is from something called "rewardzone" and I have to close it (one step) and then answer that I want to allow it to close (step two). Just started in the last couple of days. How do I get rid of it?
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Sony Vaio
Firefox 19.0.2

Thank you for your response. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast as my primary troubleshooters and they didn't pick up anything. On an as needed basis, I used Super Malwarebytes, Malwarebytes, stinger, Advanced system care, and downloaded and used Microsoft Safety Scanner. None of them showed any signs of malware or a virus.
Just all of a sudden, I noticed when I signed off Mozilla Firefox that I had another window open that remained on my PC. First it was for Rewardzoneusa.com and now, occassionaly, Brazilwoman or something like that. In both cases, I select the red X to close the application & Window, then I'm asked to confirm that I want to allow the page to shut down. A Real Pain in the you know what.
I have even run a complete uninstall & reinstall of Mozilla Firefox. The problem doesn't appear every time I run Firefox, but enough to be a real pain.
Thanks for Trying.

  • When I try to log on to Facebook, My iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190. What is it and why do I get it?

    When I try to log onto Facebook, my iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190, but I can log on on my HP desktop. What is code 190, and why do I get it?

    I was using the FB app that came with the iPad. What I eventually did was.
    1. Held down both home key and on-off button until iPad shut down, then rebooted.
    2. Uninstalled FB app.
    3. Went to App Store and re-installed FB app.
    The iPad had numerous problems. My son saw my plea on FB as I was accessing it through my HP computer, and he walked me through it. While he was at it, he taught me how to disconnect auto-correct. I am not certain that I want to keep that off, but everything is working the way it is supposed to  the way it was in the beginning. 
    I am curious, though, as to what ears to the problem in the first place. After checking various sites, it seems that a code 190 has to do with windows not Apple.
    But thank you for the response.

  • What is Fast1 and why is it installing along with Adobe Flash?

    I just updated Adobe Flash and when that was done, I found that File1 Package Manager had also installed and had launched and was in turn attempting to update other software.  Pressing "cancel" did nothing, and when I went into the Task Manager (using ctl-alt-del) and clicked on "end process" I got an error message that I did not have authorization to end the process.  Eventually it ended on its own, but WTF?  It looks like malware: downloading, installing, and running all without my knowledge or consent. A full system scan with Microsoft Security Essentials, but I'm not sure if that would detect malware.
    This seems to be something new, i.e. when I Googled it, there was almost nothing out there about it.  I did find one forum on which mine was the first question, and several other people responded that they had the same experience.
    One of two things would seem to be going on.  Either the adobe.com web site has been hacked and malware is riding in on product updates, or the Adobe corporation has agreed to install Fast1 along with its products and just isn't telling its customers.  (I was very carteful to watch for boxes to uncheck as I went through the update.  There weren't any.)

    Question: What is file 1 package manager ?
    A: “File1 Package Manager (Ant App service)  is a program developed by Helios Technologies. The software adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. The specfic verbage from the file 1 wesite ( http://www.file1.com/ ) states---
    "File1.com Package Manager is a handy tool for managing all your programs  within one space. It provides a user with a list of programs already  installed and those available for installation. With Package Manager you  can easily upgrade, install or uninstall all of our proposed software  on the site. File1.com is a freeware guide that provides the best free software which  is absolutely safe. It means no additional programs you do not know  about, no malware, spyware, or viruses. "
    Q: Why is file 1  installing with adobe flash?
    A: It shouldn't if you are downloading and installing manually from the adobe.com. If you download adobe from a third party website this could be the reason. If you are on a shared computer, it may have been downloaded to your computer to obtain many of the free software it offers. If this is the case File1 may have auto updated your adobe flash
    Extras:
    You can uninstall File1 Package Manager from your computer by using the Add/Remove Program feature in the Window's Control Panel.
    A.   
    A.    A. On the Start menu (for Windows 8, right-click the screen's bottom-left corner), click Control Panel, and then, under Programs, do one of the following:
    1.    Windows Vista/7/8: Click Uninstall a Program
    2.    Windows XP: Click Add or Remove Programs.
    B.  When you find the program File1 Package Manager, click it, and then do one of the following:                                                                    
    1.Windows Vista/7/8: Click Uninstall. 
          2.Windows XP: Click the Remove or Change/Remove tab (tothe right of the program).

  • What is isp and why i keep getting disconnected from the internet every 10mins?

    my internet keeps failing on me, and the isp is red then the rest is yellow only the 3 top wifi settings are green. i solve the problem by clicking on diagnostic but can only stay on the internet for less than 10 mins then get disconnected again. can anyone help me fix this problem permanently?

    Connect your Ethernet cable from your modem to your computer, power the modem off/30 seconds/on and wait until it's powered up, then turn on your computer.
    If you get kicked off again like that by your IPS at regular time frames (and WiFi is good), it usually means there is a problem on your end.
    1: Malware
    2: Excessive or exceeding monthly bandwidth allotment (it is Oct 26th)
    3: Unpaid bills
    4: Insecure network (others doing bad things, malware)
    5: P2P files sharing, illegal device online
    6: Important ISP email wating your attention for something important
    7: Broken device (like a defective router) or another issue. Could be a lose wire blowing in the wind and disconnecting.
    Process of elimination, calling your IPS resolves many of them, get a new router/modem, then you focus on if it's your computer, the router or lines from your house to the pole. If all that's clear, and others are reporting the same issue, then the ISP will come take a look at the wires in the neighborhood, send a tech to your house to check the lines/connections.

  • TS1368 what is an error 502 and why am i getting it

    what is an error 502

    I can't. It comes up with another error every time I try. Also, all of my other Adobe Products work fine, so I'm curious about how this is just becoming an issue now. From what I can tell, it is installed on my computer -- it's just hidden and/or blocked from working. It is harder than hell to find.

    If it really isn't there, then quite a lot of applications may fail. You best download and install it.

  • Android.process.acore?  What is this and why does it keep not working?

    Help: I've had my Lucid 3 phone since May and this phone has been the most confusing thing to operate.  I'm currently having three (3) issues:
    The Wi-Fi is not working...I keep getting the symbol refreshing.  I can't turn the Wi-Fi on or off.  I read "Turning Wi-Fi on..." when I go to the setting for Wi-Fi but this has been going on for 3 hours.  C'mon!  My Wi-Fi at home is working great; that's how I'm writing this post. Help!
    To add to the misery: I keep getting a pop-up notification that reads: "Unfortunately, the android.process.acore has stopped."  What is this and why does it not work. The phone's been getting this message for a week now...help!
    Last concern: I'm still not getting multimedia texts (particularly pictures).  The data and Wi-Fi were on...well, that's when the Wi-Fi was working (please refer to complaint #1 above).  What the heck?
    This phone is terrible news and I can't wait to replace it.  In the meantime, the phone needs to work. Help.
    -Salo

        We certainly want to clear up all the confusion and have a working phone in your hands, srodezno. Let's take this one issue at a time:
    1. How long ago did this trouble with WiFi start? Are you able to connect to any alternate WiFi signals other than the one at home?
    2. Do you get that notification when you access anything in particular? Did it begin when you updated or installed any application?
    3. Are you still able to access other data services (web, apps, Play Store, etc) while the WiFi is off/not working? Are you able to send the MMS messages?

  • What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

    What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up

  • In "about this mac/storage" what is "other" and how do I get rid of it.

    My hard drive is showing that I have 212g of "other" on my hard drive.  I have cleaned out everything I can, and this number continues to rise.  I have purged my internet stuff, deleted downloads and I am showing only 36.15g of apps, 63g of music, and 50g of movies.  What is "other" and why is more than half my computer's hard drive using it?  iMac 2.5g core i5 with 12g ram, 500g hardrive (2012) mountain lion 10.8.2.

    "Other" is everything that doesn't fit into one of the other categories.
    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste (command-V) into the Terminal window. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
