Why is searchqu keeps coming as my home page?!
Hey,
I don't know why but suddenly my home page changed from google to "searchqu.com\406" , is this some kind of a virus?!
What should I do to remove it?
I will appreciate any kind of info.
thanks.
It looks to be an add-on installed alongside other software and i would recommend removing it ASAP.

Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store
Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.

Since I downloaded Mozilla Firefox on my new computer, Babylon search engine keeps taking over my home page. I have deleted it from my computer and have installed Google as my home page - It has just done ANOTHER hostile takeover and completely kicked Google off. Babylon doesn't even find the right things I search for. It is horrible - is it a virus and how do I get rid of it?
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

My network symbol keeps working on my home page even when I'm not doing anything, I know there has been problems in the past with this so has it come back, help it's killing my battery!
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -

TS3276 why the emails keep coming into my inbox after I delete them?
My emails keep coming into my inbox after I deleted them. Why is that?
It sounds like your ISP's Mail Server is an IMAP type that retains the Mail on the Server. You need to go into your Mail> Preferences>Accounts> and set the Mail to Delete from the Server, after a set amount of time.
Hope this helps -

I am trying to make Yahoo my home page. I go to tools and put www.yahoo.com as my homepage and but once I restart my computer the home page goes back to something else.
Hi drendah,
Out of curiosity, what page keeps showing up? You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]] and follow the steps to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps! -
hi,
why the hell there are adds every where now? it was not the case earlier? and why the hell every time i change the home page to be the default one, the min i restart Firefox it came again to the same silly page i don't know from where the hell it came from?!?!
it was a very pleasant experience to use Firefox, but not anymore, i like it even its heavy on the machine and stuck alot lately!!!
the crash reports NEVER managed to be sent i don't know why!!
come on guys, you can do better than that!Hi ajag,
Sorry you are having problems, but probably some adware or malware.
Thanks for including System Information. I am not familiar with "''Vonteera Free Ads''" However it is apparently adware. Take care with advice followed from internet searches I would for instance NOT try the YAC site or tool.
Using the Firefox addons manager and the Windows Control Panel remove any obvious unwanted toolbars or programs. Then scan with multiple and fully up to date tools.
*''' General method: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] '''
Please follow the advice in the link immediately above and then do the full scans as mentioned lower down in this post.
I note you have a ''user.js'' file that may need attention separately.
Post back saying what you tried and what the results were.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

The site is called doresearches and i never used this site.

every time i open firefox this site appears despite its is not in my home page.
this is a new computer and it happened after i did sync with my android device.
thank you very much for firefox :)hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

New Tabs appear as :Blank, why don't they open in my home page every time?
I have set my home page to the standard Google Ireland search page and this works fine. But when I open a new tab, it opens as a blank tab every time.
The TAB section under TOOLS does not allow me specify what I would like a new tab to open as....
It just opens a blank tab every time.

Why does clicking on "Preferences" (to change home page) shut down Safari?
What can I do to prevent Safari from immediately shutting down when I click on "Preferences" in an attempt to change my home page? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi Mark
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sounds like the Preference file is corrupt.
In the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari. Open the preference file. If no crash you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ). -
