Context: I have three web browsers installed on my Windows 10 computer which are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Problem: Whichever browser I newly open, they all start with this website:http://007eecfcfedlkh.jumpkj.chuairan.com/index.html
How it happened: I clicked a link on a website yesterday and it automatically downloaded several applications and automatically installed themselves without showing any instructions to install them.
Thing I have tried: I have reset the browser On startup setting to open my homepage, but it still opens with the aforementioned weird URL.
Thing that may help: Opera browser is very considerate cause it has this option regarding the On startup setting, which is Ask me when Opera is started by a shortcut specifying an URL.
Analysis and need your help: Usually, I start a browser by clicking on the shortcut in Windows start menu, or the shortcut in desktop. This worked normally until the problem appeared. According to Thing that may help, this hostile URL must reside somewhere. Where can I find this unwelcoming shortcut on my computer? How come this shortcut can attach itself to every web browser on my computer? What is the next step I can do to resolve this problem? Is this kind of a virus?
Usually when that happens, you'll have to:
reset the browser settings (or at least reset the startup websites on settings)
go to the browser .exe, open it's properties and remove any flags that were added on the path.
I think you shoud uninstall these applications first.

Lately Firefox Storage tab in it's Web Dev tools is not working correctly for me. When there are changes in the localStorage, the data displayed in the tab doesn't update, not even when I refresh the page. For it to work, I have to close Web Dev tools and then reopen it.
I tried using a fresh install of Firefox without addons, tried both Linux and Windows, tried in virtual machine, and still won't work, so I'm guessing it must be due to some recent update.
To reproduce the problem:
Go to any website
Open Web Dev Tools (F12)
Go to Storage tab
Right click Local Storage file and delete all
Refresh page to check if Storage updates
Anyone else having the same problem? Glad if anyone can help.
Whenever UwAmp restarts itself (for example, when I modify php.ini or switch to a different version of php) it often crashes whatever Chrome pages I have opened, whether they are pages that I'm testing on UwAmp or something completely unrelated like Facebook. They go blank and I have to reload them. Sometimes it closes Chrome altogether, I have to restart it and I get the message saying that Chrome closed unexpectedly. What gives? Is this a known bug? Is there any way to prevent it? How and why does UwAmp even have control over Chrome? This is on Windows 10 x64, UwAmp 3.1.0, latest 64-bit Chrome.
Thanks!
EDIT: It just closed Notepad++ on me, so it's not specific to Chrome. There's also a message that pops up sometimes within UwAmp, saying that the process couldn't be killed because access was denied. Maybe UwAmp is trying to kill the wrong process? It also happens when I manually click the "Stop" button.
That's an issue I encounter too. If I exit UwAmp, sometimes it force closes another program (Firefox, qBittorrent, Spotify...)
I had reported this issue to the developer, but got no reply.
So, I guess we'll have to live with it.
When you start your session/computer, open first all the other softwares you wish to use (chrome, firefox, aBittorrent, Sportify or whatsoever). Then at the end, open uwamp.
It shouldn't crash down other softwares when you stop/start apache/mysql, or when you close down uwamp.
A workaround is to open uwamp.ini and change the AUTO_RESTAT_CONFIG_CHANGED to "0".
This will disable uWamp's auto-restart feature during server configuration changes.
I am working on Google Cloud Platform to develop a project in API.AI, I have an integration (in API.AI) with Google Actions (for Google Home or Google Assistant), they provide me to see my progress as real time in web-simulator, that you can find here:
https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator
I am trying to START the web-simulator clicking on START button, then I get a window pop-up but after open, it closes, I try and try again but I obtain the same result, I cannot open the web-simulator. I have allowed the popup windows in my browser.
Of course I have completed all steps to start web-simulator...
I don't know what is happening. Someone can help me? Thank you, have a good day.
First, are you using a compatible browser? Try it in Chrome if you're
not already using it, as Chrome is a Google product, and so is the
web simulator.
Next, are you using any Ad-Blockers or
Script-Blockers like NoScript? If so, try disabling them, as they
could interfere with the operation of the tool.
If it still doesn't work, try going to an Incognito Windows by pressing the
three dots button and opening a New Incognito Window. Go to the page, and log
in. This will ensure that no cookies are interfering.
At this point, if you're still having issues, try a different browser.
(Either Firefox or Opera)
I am currently working with a classic ASP web application. What I'm wondering about is how it knows which browser to launch, I've looked over everything and am unable to find anywhere that it says to Launch Firefox in order to open the application. If i have firefox uninstalled, then it launches Chrome, however, when I hvae both Chrome and Firefox, then Firefox launched even if I have Chrome set as my default browser. Anyone have an idea?
your asp code has no connection whatsoever with what browser is used, it's browser independent. in order for you web app to run, you must open a browser FIRST, then go to the url of your web app, which will then fire off the asp code. It would be a huge security issue if i went to a web site, and it decided to open a different browser on my computer!
if you want to set Chrome as your default browser, follow these instructions:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95417?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
for firefox - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-change-your-default-browser-windows-10
for IE - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17435/windows-internet-explorer-make-default-browser
Your default browser is a different setting than the "open this file type with this program" setting. If double-clicking an .asp file opens in Firefox, then that's the latter type of setting.
To change it, right-click an .asp file, choose the "Open with >" option, then "Choose default program...".
That all said, 99.999% of users will never have occasion to double-click an .asp file, because most of us don't use web servers as our normal everyday computers.
I have a web application that uses IIS, but when I try to debug it VS just locks up and gives me the hour glass cursor icon. No browser window opens, nor does an instance pop up in the Task Manager. VS says its Running / not "Not Responding", but I cannot interact with the IDE. Can't Ctrl-Break to stop or anything.
I was able to run it before, and I'm not aware of any system or IIS changes that could cause this. I've disabled source control and I've tried launching the app in both Chrome and IE but it still behaves the exact same way as described above.
Has anyone else encountered this? The only threads I could find just describe general slowness in the IDE but otherwise its functional. The recommended fix was to disable the source control functionality, which as I said I already tried.
I should note that I don't seem to have an issue running & debugging winforms applications. I also just created a web application and was able to launch it in Chrome and get to the homepage. Also, it doesn't make a difference if I have a breakpoint set or not.
This solution has 4 different projects. If I set a different project as the Startup Project, it does run and launches the browser but it just gives me a 'file explorer' sort of view where it just lists the files in that project's directly which is obviously not what I want.
Edit; If I manually open a browser tab, try to navigate to http://localhost/myApplication, VS pops up and asks if I want to attach process w3wp.exe to IIS APPPOOL\myAppPool. If I attach, it opens a new tab in Chrome and my application runs. But unless I do these 2 steps, it does not run.
