I downloaded some freeware recently on my mac and now all my chrome urls have nova.rambler.ru prepended.
I've never had a virus or trojan on here so I have clue where to even start.
I've done search after search but everything is for PC or tries to sell you some sort of anti-virus software.
Any help would be awesome.
Your Chrome shortcut may have been affected. The second solution in this article mentioned how to fix it. Of course, ignore the downloads on this page.
Go to Google Chrome shortcut by right-clicking on its icon and selecting Properties.
Delete the additional argument at the end of the Target section.
This may do the trick.
Also, remember to check your Hosts file and make sure nothing suspicious is added there.
If the malware can't be removed, try some free anti-malware programs like Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner.
Hope this help.
first of all, install another Browser (Firefox)
export your Favourites if you are afraid to loose them ("Bookmarks", "Bookmarks Manager", "Organize" and choose "Export to HTML files")
exit from Chrome
go to the "Applications" folder and drag the Chrome icon into the Trashbox.
Then click on the "Go" button on the upper Finder tool bar, choose "Go to Folder" and write this command:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome
select all the Chrome folders and all the Chrome files displayed (you are inside the Chrome folder that is still inside your OS) and drag all of them inside the Trashbox
Now Chrome is completely uninstalled from your OS. Now:
open Firefox, download the Chrome.dmg file from the Chrome official site and open it
drag the Install file inside the "Application" folder
launch Chrome
Now you have a "virgin" and "clear" Chrome installation. Then You have to:
sign in with your Google account
import your Bookmarks (but I think they will be already there after I have logged in)
uninstall Firefox if You want or use both of them if You want.
Probably the hosts file is affected. The shortcut should also be checked. I recommend you to scan your Mac with the latest version of Bitdefender antivirus (you will find a nice review, here). What is interesting is that Bitdefender also checks the hosts file (probably affceted) for any unusual change.
You can use it in "Trial" mode for 30 days, so you don't need to pay anything.

I'm making a non-elevated software installer for Windows 10. The installer saves the application into C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\MY_APP_NAME folder. It also creates a shortcut in C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder. The shortcut correctly appears in Start Menu, but it never appears in search results.
I tried rebuilding the search index and ran Start Menu troubleshooter with no luck. I'm from Poland and thus Cortana is disabled on my machine.
I investigated other shortcuts in that folder and found that some applications appear in search results while others do not. For example, a link to SourceTree appears in search results while a shortcut to R-Link 2 Toolbox do not appear there. Both SourceTree and R-Link 2 Toolbox are installed into AppData\Local folder and both shortcuts are saved to AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\. I don't see any difference between their shortcut files. Yet I can find SourceTree in search results while R-Link isn't there. This behavior isn't related to spaces in the app name. I tried renaming my app not to have a space in its name and this changes nothing.
Is there something I should do to register my shortcut for indexing?
It seems the problem was related to indexing issues of the Windows OS. It seems sfc /scannow command solved the problem and now indexing works correctly for all menu folders and apps.
When I type few commands like this:
$("#popup").click();
var x = 1;
x;
the commands are simply copied to the prompt window.
They are not executed !
What is wrong with my Firebug (Firefox) addon, please ?
Firefox v 43, Firebug v2.0.12b1
but with Chrome everything works fine
According to a thread in the Firebug forum, this may be caused by a conflict with other extensions. The extensions named there are:
Wappalyzer
Ghostery 5.2.1
The easiest Xdebug 1.2
Skype Click to Call
A Greasemonkey script
Nimbus Screen Capture
1Password
Coupons at Checkout
So, if you have one of those extensions installed or a Greasemonkey script running, disabling it and try it again.
If that doesn't help, I suggest you follow the steps described in the Firebug first aid page and report that bug. The steps are:
Open the Firefox Error Console (Ctrl/⌘+Shift+J). Any errors related to Firebug? Copy them and remember to include them in your report.
Create a new profile, install Firebug, reproduce the problem. Still a bug? Report the problem, else
Return to your previous profile, open the Add-ons Manager via Ctrl/⌘+Shift+A or Firefox menu button > Add-ons or about:addons to disable all extensions except Firebug. Solved? Enable the other extensions again one by one until you find the buggy one and report it, else
Open the troubleshooting information via Firefox menu button > ? > Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder, open prefs.js in a text editor, copy all lines containing extensions.firebug into a separate text file, reset all options (via Firebug icon menu (upper left corner) > Options > Reset All Firebug Options), reproduce the problem. Solved? Report the problem attaching the created file, else
In the profile folder go to firebug/, move the file breakpoints.json (if it doesn't exist, go to step 4) out of that folder, reproduce the problem. Solved? Report the problem attaching your breakpoints.json (Attention: breakpoints.json contains the URLs of all breakpoints you set, so make sure there's nothing, that shouldn't be public), else
In the profile folder under firebug/ move the file annotations.json (if it doesn't exist, go to step 5) out of that folder, reproduce the problem. Solved? Report the problem attaching your annotations.json (Attention: annotations.json contains the URLs of all pages you enabled Firebug for, so make sure there's nothing, that shouldn't be public)
Especially when using an sftp drive (but this problem is also an issue with local drives, although thankfully not as frequent), the folders in the sidebar just keep spinning and spinning, and the "Open Anything" dialog therefore has no files to choose from.
"Project > Refresh folders" does not work in most cases.
I've resorted to restarting Sublime manually, which works most of the time, but it's getting to be a pain to have to do this every other time I switch projects.
Is there any better way to "force" the folders to refresh?
This problem is the reason I asked this question:
How to save project state before exiting in ST3 on Windows?
The SublimeRestart plugin doesn't work on Windows until this project-state-saving problem is solved. However, even if it did work perfectly, it would still only be a workaround for this really annoying non-refreshing-folders issue.
My workaround on Windows, FYI: After loading a project, when the folders don't refresh (don't load even the first time), I have ctrl+f10 bound to "File > Exit", and f10 configured into the shortcut that I launch Sublime Text with. So two reasonably-quick (although additional!) button presses.
Open Sublime Text.
Select Preferences from the top menu and click Key Bindings – User. Here you will see a JSON file that should contain an array of objects (initially the array is empty). Every object will represent a shortcut.
Add the following (new shortcut object) entry into the array (between the brackets):
{
"keys" : ["f5"],
"command" : "refresh_folder_list"
}
You should be able to refresh the folders with F5.
Try to Install this package:
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SideBarEnhancements
Open the package folder. Main menu -> Preferences -> Package Control: -> Package Control: Install Package
Search the keyword: SideBarEnhancements
Enjoy it
After you install this plugin, you will see the refresh button in your sidebar option:
I have added this myself the other day. I constantly work in an environment where files in the project are changing before I can see them.
Goto 'Preferences' menu -> 'Key Bindings' -> 'User' which will open a JSON file, add below code, save and close that file.
{ "keys": ["ctrl+f5"], "command": "refresh_folder_list" }
It will work like charm 100%. Thanks for asking this question.
This isn't going to be a very useful answer but it documents some early behaviour in Sublime Text that would solve your problem, assuming you need no later features from Sublime Text 2/3 (a big assumption indeed).
Sublime Text 1 had the handy feature in the folder context menu to "Refresh folder". This cause an immediate indexing of only the specified directory (and subdirectories) which was a boon when using networked drives over high-latency connections.
This was deprecated in Sublime Text 2.
Version 1 is available here or by direct download here. It's not clear that these will be available indefinitely though, so this isn't necessarily a long-term solution.
There's a bug in FireBug: I accidentally clicked where the line numbers are, which sets a breakpoint. So I clicked again to remove it. Now it's breaking there every single time. And I've tried setting/removing a breakpoint, but it doesn't work. I've even tried clicking the pause icon, which I see suggested elsewhere, but it does nothing -- it doesn't even change. I've even tried setting it to be a conditional breakpoint that is always false so it should never fire. No cigar. I even tried uninstalling FireBug and reinstalling it!
(Please note that I am using FireBug 1.7.3 with FireFox 3.6.25, and have to for a reason, and cannot upgrade.)

How can I remove all breakpoints?
Do I have to uninstall / reinstall?
Try this:
In Firefox, go to URL about:support
Check the Profile Directory
Open containing folder
Go into folder firebug
Delete breakpoints.json
I am having the same issue with Firefox 79.0. Since the breakpoints.json does not exist anymore in this version (how does firebug keep track of its breakpoints now?), I tried
In Firefox, go to URL about:support
Click "Refresh Firefox"
This resets everything to default (language etc.) but also removed "ghost breakpoints".
I think I managed to fix this for newer Firefox versions, that, as was mentioned above, don't have the breakpoints.json anymore.
Open the Profile folder
Navigate to the storage\permanent folder
Close Firefox
Delete the indexeddb+++fx-devtools folder
The deleted folder will be generated again, so don't worry.
You'll probably lose some configuration on the devtools, but it's better than refreshing your entire browser.
For a couple of days I had noticed that the "script" tab of firebug had not been working. I ignored it because I wasn't working with javascript at the time.
Then the day came I was going to need that script panel, which still wasn't working, so I decided to reinstall firebug.
And now, when it's installed, it's just plain gone. No icon that I can see, neither on the bottom bar nor the top bar. No mention of it in the tool menu. The only evidence it's installed is an entry in the extensions list and a file in the extensions folder.
I've tried googling but have not fond anything that sounds like my issue.
I'm using firefox 6 on Windows XP.
For some reason, Firebug changed it's toolbar button (and removed the old one) from the old bug to a blue default cursor over a width, short box. Right-click on a toolbar, select Customize, and look for the icon next to the bug at the large picture of Firebug at top of this page:
