Conduit, Babylon, Screen Size

vansboy

Hi All

Friends laptop is proving a problem, so assistance greatly appreciated!

the actual internet pages when (Firefox) viewed is2cm lower than actual screen size, so the screensaver from starting is showing in the space above web pages. If this makes sense.

Also we dont have Google as our default, instead it's Conduit, then Babylon appears, plus lots adverts to e bay 7 other places, when we go to look for just about anything.

So please let us know hpw to fix this!!!

Thanks in advance

Here we go:
Easy one first - Firefox not taking up full screen

• click and drag the corners or edges of the firefox window to fill the screen or
• Right click on the toolbar at the top of the firefox window and select Maximise or
• Click the middle of the three buttons at the top of the firefox window

Remove Conduit look here the first should work


Remove Babylon look here the second link should work


Finally tell your friend to be careful and uncheck boxes that want to install search bars when installing software.
