Why won't google or any other search engines load?

A coworker of mine has downloaded Fastbrowser search, and I have gotten rid of it (I think), but now, no search engine other than Fastbrowser search will load! I can't even access my gmail account now because it has completely blocked Google. I've deleted the addon thingy, removed the file from my control panel, and just about everything, but to no avail. I just want my Google back!!!
I am using version 3.0.15 (Can't or won't update for some reason) on Windows XP

Never mind. It seems like the problem is fixed after logging into the administrator account, logging into and out of Google Drive, and logging back into my own account. I have no idea how that fixed the issue, but it it did.

When I try to go to google or any other search engine, The browser freezes and I can't click on anything or go to another tab.

When I do a search on google or bing, the browser loads the page but it freezes and I am unable to interact with anything. The spinning "loading circle" in the tab just keeps spinning. When I try to close out and launch an older version of firefox, I have to end the process in the process manager.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Check System Preferences - Accounts
Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work. I used to be able to do this.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Certain websites i.e.google, yahoo, or other search engines are not found in my server. Why? They were last week. I can only access different countries' google search engines. Error 404 comes up repeatedly. Can anyone explain how to fix this?

search engines and other websites are not found in my server although they were about a week ago. Now Error 404 pops up every time I try to access the websites or search engines. I am not entirely sure when it started exactly, but if there is a way to fix it, I would be very glad to hear it.

Will my iWeb website be shown in google or any big search engine?

I am thinking about making a website and I am wondering if I make one with iWeb if it will show up in Google, Bing, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Aman Routh. As much as I love eBay, it is not my idea of a search engine. I had actually deleted Firefox from my programs, but, within 2 days, I re-installed with the same problem. Thanks to you, I have google again.
I hope you have a lovely weekend. Regards, Trish

Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?

Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?

How about some details on how you made the disc. What sort of media did the project contain? What brand and type of media did you use? What burn speed did you use?
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

When i click on the new tab I dont get the google page but some other search engine, how do I change it back to google?

My home page is the default Google page but when i click on open new tab and it loads some other search engine's site instead. How do I change that back to Google? I've checked for any random add-ons but that doesnt seem to be the problem...

Does that still happen is you disable the RadioBar Toolbar?

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
