I keep having this advertising bar pop up. I have followed all instructions to get rid of it. I have uninstalled it and selected disable ads. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3 times. This is only happening with Firefox. Now, I am not showing the InfoAtoms in the programs, but it is apparently still there hijacking my Firefox every time I open it. I use Firefox for a class, but I am getting very frustrated with this advertising bar. Please help me get rid of it.

See:

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

'I am also having this problem with InfoAtom and no mater what I do I can not get rid of it, plus I can not find these guys either. Has anyone found a solution yet? I can not use the tabs nor can I use Firefox correctly.

I reset Firefox to its default (see Firefox Help), and then in Control Panel of Windows uninstalled InfoAtom itself, as well as a couple of other questionable items that were installed without my knowledge at the same time. In Control Panel, it doesn't give you an option to uninstall, but you'll get to it by clicking on "Change." I tried disabling it through Firefox first, but that did not work. This way I know it's gone, gone, gone! And it really does seem to be gone.

In case InfoAtom is still watching this thread, my feedback is thus: My problem with InfoAtoms was that it was somehow installed without my knowledge, under the radar of my anti-virus, which should have asked me if I wanted to allow changes from that company. Then I started noticing all the ads, which I dislike. Then that there needs to be a message board on how to get rid of it. Fooling with this took some real time out of my morning.

Thanks for your help, MJoy. We'll be releasing a fix later this week to change the "Change" option to "Uninstall" in the add/remove programs. We'll look into the disable issue you're seeing in Firefox.
