Download of mystery

I noticed recently that I see my download arrow indicate something being downloaded on my computer several times a day, when I have not entered no download.  I fear that this could be a symptom of an intrusion, but couldn't find any files that have been added to my machine.  If anyone else notice this?  Should I take steps to prevent this?  I use NoScript and Windows Security Essentials and am running Windows 7.  Thank you!

You must use some plug-in for FF like an arrow is not a FF default

  • Why Mozilla Firefox can't find the last downloaded URL page

    Can someone please solve this mystery:

    • I edited a number of my web pages today and then download the whole site using FileZilla.
    • To access my web pages from a browser Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, I see the latest version of all pages.
    • To access my web pages of Mozilla Firefox, a number of old versions of pages is available, while some are the last downloaded version.

    The problem is that Mozilla is my favorite browser, so I that the problem be resolved.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Thank you - Roy Marnewick

    Hey Roy, it's hard to say.

    For visitors who do not all pages of the site being cached, they should get only what is currently available. You can emulate this by opening a new private window (assuming that you are not currently using a private window) and by visiting your site in this window.

    For visitors come back, what is supposed to happen is that if your site has sent a "last modified" as well as the page date, Firefox should ask the server if there is an update before displaying the cached version. It is very difficult to test, of course, because it is difficult to simulate in time...

  • Why Firefox won't let me download anything?

    Basically, I had a problem these days. I can't download anything on Firefox or another browser, I try to use. Files download without problem, and when he's doing so I can still see the files under development in the appropriate folders.

    However, when the download is complete, the file just... disappears. It's the same for every file I try to download, not just one or two. Ranging from games, music, etc.

    When I search upwards in the start menu, it appears, but when I click on it, he said, it is looking for the file, but I can choose to search for it myself, leaving me very confused. Go to the location of the file takes me to recent, where it shows the files that I downloaded as 1 KB shortcuts, but with the original file nowhere to be found.

    If I may note, after downloading these files disappearing always occupy all the space on my drive that they argued that they could not only 1 KB. In addition, about a week or two before this happened, my computer mysteriously started losing a lot of space on the C: drive, to the point where I got a warning for having such space low; even if I was not doing something. Not sure if that plays one any part in this regard, but I thought I would add that in any way.

    Someone here has a solution to this? I wish I had answers, please.

    If download hangs at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause may be an antivirus software that tries to parse the file and during this process the instance of Firefox crashes.

    To resolve the issue, try disabling the analysis as follows:

    1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
    2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page. A list of parameters must appear
    3. Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference.
    4. Double-click this preference to set the value to false.
    5. Then, try to download something and see if it still crashes.

    Please reply and let us know if this helped you!

  • How to prevent other sites to add links to my pages downloaded when I view in the browser?

    I have download (Dreamweaver) changed pages via CuteFTP to Seanic server. When I view pages using Firefox, links are "inserted" in keywords so that when I mouse-over, a small window pops up to an unknown site with an ad related using keywords. When I opened my page even in Internet Explorer, there is no link of 'mystery' appearing on the pages. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Hello cathyvers, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware/malware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from here and do a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  • Why does something start downloading when I activate Fire Fox when I updates for Fire Fox and Add ons disabled?

    When I launch Firefox 18 on one of my two laptops, it starts the download of 'something', I don't know what.

    1. I have automatic updates turned off Firefox.
    2. I have automatic updates for plugins and addons turned off.
    3. I have the automatic updates of windows disabled.
    4. I have automatic updates for Kaspersky Internet Security is turned off.
    5. I connect with a modem 56 k. I have monitor network activity and none occurred. My home page in Firefox is a blank page. I turn 18 Firefox and go no where but monitor my internet traffic and 2 minutes later, the download starts. I close Firefox 18 and download stops.
    6 activate another browser and no download occurs even 5 minutes after activation.
    7. of curiosity I went down a coffee shop yesterday, connected to their wifi and enabled Firefox 18. 89 89 megabytes later, the download has stopped. I have no idea of fricking which downloaded after that I enabled Firefox 18 but I went nowhere on the internet, just sat there and watched my Blankpage (homepage) and looked at the mysterious download take place.
    8 I log on the internet today with my modem 56 k and two minutes later the download starts again.
    9. I have an old desk with Firefox 3.6 something on it with Kaspersky Internet Security and it does not occur on the desktop.

    Given that this only happens with Firefox 18, it seems reasonable to consider Firefox 18 related and possibly a problem of security or privacy, but I guess it could also be a question of settings. I upgrade my Internet Security every two days. I scan my laptop regularly. It still happens. I can't use Firefox for a browser because half my paltry 56 k of bandwidth is being sucked by some mysterious unsolicited download that occurs only when Firefox 18 is activated.

    I appreciate your response, but now do not know if it could have been anything in this answer because...

    This problem seems to have disappeared, don't know why but I have a possible theory. It's only a theory on my part, as I am not knowledgeable about the inner workings of Firefox. When I installed Firefox 18 there all automatic update options enabled by default. At the point where I turned off their all, I guess it started to download updates for all plugins and addons, like java, quicktime etc. etc. etc even if I had not personally initiated these downloads and updates. My theory is that once these downloads had begun, even if I had turned off the automatic update, it would continue the download of updates which had started and would not stop until she had done this.

    I do not disable anti-phishing and site wrong detection stuff, but I seriously doubt the update for these items would have been 89 megabytes of data, but I could be wrong.

    So for now, I'll close it and mark it resolved and continue to monitor to see if I have any more "strangeness" lights up.
