Why are ad videos all of a sudden popping up on firefox?

I keep getting little video boxes in the bottom corner of my screen when I'm web surfing with firefox. Why? What can I do to stop them? I hate them! Very Very Annoying! thanks

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

    Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
    I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
    I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
    also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

    Welcome to the forum.
    I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
    Good luck,

  • I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 225GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything, Help!

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 250GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything.

    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed.
    I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.  Seagate Backup Plus Right now the 1T is more than the 2 & 3T drives
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB $99.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    USB 3.0 is 10x faster than USB 2.0
    Thunderbolt is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
    Format new drives with Apple's Disk Utility rather than the software that come with the drive.
    My plan was to rid a lot of the stuff I have on my computer (to a hard drive) anyhow once it had backed up.
    I wound't necessarily backup those files to Time Machine. I would copy to the external drive then delete from computer. Only backup to Time Machine the data you would want to restore to your Mac if there was a problem. The backup will go much faster this way. Time Machine backup is slower than just copying data in my experience.

  • HT202020 Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone 4 not supported by Aperture.

    Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone not supported by Aperture?  That's weird.  I expect that since both iPhone and Aperture are Apple products, file support should be seamless between the two. 
    Also, iPhone 4 does not appear as Camera Model in the metadata of the unsupported video file in Aperture .  But other videos I have taken with the same iPhone 4 appear in Aperture and the Camera Model appears correctly.  Why is that?

    Have you done some cleaning and cleared caches on your Mac? Maybe the  com.apple.xpchelper.cache file is missing. Check the folder /System/Library/Caches/
    Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion https://discussions.apple.com/message/19304702#19304702
    If this file should be missing, you need to restore it from a backup or reinstall it by reinstalling your system.

  • Why are my videos not playing the right way up

    Why are my videos not playing the right way up

    I took four video clips while on a trip this week.  Two are oriented the right way (playing wide on the device and imported correctly).  The other two are Tall and not oriented right.  Orientation is 90 degrees to the right.  I don't know why this is happening on occasions.  Even some pictures I took did the same **** thing.  It's weird.  And I can't figure it out.  The camera is held the way I want the pictures and videos to be recorded and played but something internal is turning these videos and pictures 90 degrees clockwise.

    I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.

  • Why is my line all of a sudden going over data usage?

    @Please excuse my ignorance,  but  all of a sudden, my line is the one going over the data usage limit and I don't understand why, aside from using Facebook, which I've been using all along.   I would have thought the overage would be due to my son.
    I don't think I'm doing anything different.
    I also find the plans to be confusing.  I thought with the new Edge plan,  I would be saving money, but I'm not.
    I'm paying way too much for a phone plan, even with my discount.
    What the heck am I doing wrong?   Do I need to sign out of facebook  each time or is there a way to clear it?????
    I don't know.....I'm working too hard to deal with this crap.
