I downloaded a power point online and some plugin-container now pops up. I deleated the powerpoint but the plugin container still pops up. It is slowing down my computer. I opened FIrefox on my mac while holding down the option button for safe mode but the plugin is still showing up and now I cant get out of safe mode and my toolbar is missing with all my websites for work. Please help!
