How to Remove Adwares From Mozilla Firefox

Adwares are programs that show advertisements when you use them. Some paid software offer a free option with ads. Most of the legit software removes those advertisements if you pay for that software. They are usually not harmful to users. But, There is also malware that installs these programs without your permission. One time I was trying to install some software and it installed some extension that showed ads on the browser. If you want to remove that adware, remove the software that came from.

How to Fix Subtitles Not Showing Up in KM Player

If the subtitles are not showing, there are two possibilities. The file may be corrupt or KMPlayer is not configured correctly. First turn on subtitles - Right click in the KMP window, click on Subtitles > Show/Hide Subtitles. Now the subtitles are activated. If you have subtitle file, it should be showing now. But if there is no subtitle present or is not configured properly, it won't work. The easiest way to setup subtitles is to rename the subtitle to same name as the video file and keep them in same location. For example, if the video file is test.mkv, then the subtitle file should be named test.srt and kept in same folder. If the subtitle file is in another location, right click on KMP window, Subtitles > Load Subtitle... and browse for the file. Now the subtitle will run. If you have any problem following this, you can leave a comment.
