Why won't these pop ups go away

I tried downloading untorent and once it was open I said screw it to learning how to use it and threw it in my trash and deleted it. After that I can't stop getting popups! I use google and a pop up comes up at the bottom ,other sights I go to they pop up on both sides of the window. Also a whole new window opens for some gaming sight or if I use netflix then it jumps to a new tab for some random sight. For example I click on a movie or next for the next page then it opens a whole new tab to some random sight. I don't know what to do please help :/

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

    That's normal right-click behavior, if it's happening when you left-click, the first thing to check would be whether the setting got reversed in System Preferences > Mouse.

  • Firefox won't open pop-ups even though pop-up blocker is off.

    Hello,
    I'm a website designer using ff 3.6.13 on XP sp3 platform. FF is very temperamental with pop-ups so I shut off Pop-up blocker. Regardless of blocker being off, pop-ups are still blocked on a site I'm working on. Until recently, these Pop-up links used to work well in FF. They still work great in Chrome and IE.
    My Firewall program does not have pop-up blocker:
    An example of the pop-up is located on the "download" link at the top of this page listed below:
    http://www.technologymarketingcenter.com/resourcearchive/how-not-to-execute-guerilla-warfare.php

    There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:
    http://solutions.marketingmedley.com/
    There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

  • I just updated my firefox today and now when I click on my popups or additional windows they pop up full screen. They used to pop up much smaller how do I change my settings so that these pop ups will be smaller?

    This happens when I click on my links they pop up as the full screen not the size they used to show up. I have tried other browsers and the pop ups have not changed in size like Firefox. I will be more than happy to provide screen shots to fully demonstrate my concern.

    I believe this is more about the default settings of the pop-ups. I have tried the 3 methods above and they have not solved my issue.
    As I have stated before this issue is not happening with other web browsers.
    Mozilla is better compatible with the program I am running.
    It seems you know your way around Mozilla so pleas help.
    P.S. I have taken screen shots and attached them to a word doc so I could best illustrate my issue with commentary and arrows but it will not save to my post. I have even tried posting it as a PDF.

  • Why won't these slices work?

    Wondered what I'm missing...made a sliced images remote
    rollover banner in Photoshop/Image Ready, brought it and its html
    into DW 8, tested that html in a few browsers, worked great, then
    brought in appropriate (I thought!) code from that html into my
    index page's html, tested it, no go! No rollovers...(supposed to
    rollover the various wireless devices and a word pops up).
    http://www.enhancedwireless.net/indextester.html
    Here's what it should look like (I used layers for this one)
    http://www.enhancedwireless.net/index.html
    Problem is I need to use the sliced remote rollovers version
    because my layers version uses png's and MS IE won't read png
    transparency properly...forgetting the IE workarounds, could
    someone tell me how I can get my slices version to work.
    Thanks much

    Sorry, not a Firefox support issue.

  • Why won't these videos fit on a 120min 4.7Gb disc?

    There have been situations in which when I am using 120 min 4.7GB DVD+R discs, that iDVD tells me that the video/videos I insert onto a project exceeds the macimum duration of the disc. It doesn't make any sense when I drop a 1 hour and 30 min.,700mb .avi movie onto a project and it tells me that. Why is this happening?

    iDVD mpg-2 compresses everything. The size of your raw content in MB isn't significant - what IS significant is the running time in minutes. iDVD can put up to 60 minutes of content on a single-layer disc in 'Best Performance' encoding mode or up to 120 minutes ion the 'High Quality' of 'Professional Quality modes.
    BTW, 4.7 GB is the advertising capacity in decimal form; as far as a computer is concerned, the capacity is 4.37 GB.

  • Why does Yahoo's pop-ups still popup even though pop up blocker is turned on and no exception for them?

    On Yahoo's page two thing happen... 1.) Ad will all of a sudden become whole page ad and 2.) continually get a facebook for yahoo pop up usually upon opening a yahoo related news link

    try disabling the pop-up blocker entirely and then see if you are able to bring up your contacts.
    In order to turn your Pop-Up Blocker on and off in Mozilla Firefox, please do the following:
    1. In Mozilla Firefox click on the Tools menu, then select Options.
    2. Click on the Content tab at the top of the "Options" window.
    3. Then go to the Block pop-up windows option, and remove the check mark.
    4. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
    If it permits then it will mean that the problem is indeed with the Firefox pop-up blocker only.
    In case it still does not permit opening on contacts then the issue is because of something else (do you have any toolbar installed eg yahoo toolbar)
    Try and let us know what were the results ...

  • I tried to delete a calendar while in the app, but now it says the action is not supported in the server. Why won't that pop up stop popping up?

    I tried to delete a calendar while in the app, but now it says the action is not supported in the server? There is also a pop-up that appears every 30 seconds to tell me about the error.

    Probably better to be posting this in the Calendar forum.

  • Why won't these flash hyperlinks work?

    Please check out this page:
    http://www.urbanministries.com/index_3.asp
    See the rotating flash. I have links in it that pop out after
    the image is completely on the screen "Read more" and "Watch the
    Trailer." I know Flash has read the links as links because if you
    right click on the words, it has "open link in new window" I
    thought it was because I had the text as "Static Text." But when I
    tried a test and changed one product's frames to Dynamic text, the
    links still didn't work.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Shari
    My guess is that you used Dynamic Text to make Text Block
    link.
    Change it to Static and it should be fine.

  • Firefox is warning me of a new download, but every time I click the download button it reads I have the latest update....How do I stop these pop-ups messages?

    ? Details of what??

    Hello bernadetteweibel, your user agent(in your More System Details) said that you have 23.0 version of firefox (your user agent : User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0), try to download and install the new version :
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

  • Why won't these files run on my Archlinux?

    I wasn't really sure which category to post this in.
    Anyway I'm trying to run the files in the bin/ directory of the archive I've uploaded here:
    http://www.filedropper.com/jaglinuxtools
    On Archlinux all I get is:
    bash: ./aln: cannot execute binary file
    and so on for the other three files.
    I can boot up a live CD of another Linux distribution (kubuntu in this case), mount my Linux partition, and run the files from the same directory, and they all behave as they're supposed to.
    What's the deal here?  I'm sure my permissions are set up correctly in Archlinux. I've chmodded the files with an a+x on my machine and I even setuid/setgid on the suggestion of someone from the Atari Jaguar forums.  That archive has the original files with unmodified permissions, by the way.
    Anyone have any clue why this isn't working on my Archlinux?  Does it work on any of your Archlinux setups either?

    Actually come to think of it, back when I was running i686 the files did work the first time I used them, but I did a pacman -Syu shortly afterward and after that they started giving this error about not being able to execute them.  It would make sense if the official Archlinux kernel options were changed to exclude this type of binary between my upgrades at that time.

  • Why won't these tasks finish

    This is my debug results from my package. All my Data flow Tasks run a stored procedure with different parameters and when complete send the attachments to email recipients. But some are not finishing. when I go to any of the incomplete data flow taskd and
    hit the run button, all the other ones turn green and the job completes.
    Can anyone else experienced this and could someone tell me what parameter to switch?

    What is happening is one of the file copies occurs after the oledb send to Excel so the file copy over writes the data in the Excel table for just the one task.
    When I disable that copy task, the copy Excel DFT task hangs in the final task.
    This is what I am attempting to do:
    1) Copy 6 blank template files to a directory
    2) Run 6 DFT's that populate the empty template files
    3) Email the 6 Excel files as attachments
    My plan:
    Sequence container for 6 copies which are connected to each other
    Connect the 6 DFT's and send email when complete
    What do I need to do differently?
