What do you call this window?
Safari is not well fonctionnee this morning. After a few reboots, flushes the cache and choice swear words that my original problem has evaporated. But it does not lead to my current question: what we call this window?
A few minutes ago, it was not showing the list of Favorites and I had no idea how to do to troubleshoot it. That's when I realized that I don't know what we call this window. I * know is not a Finder window, since it opens during registration or downloading a file in Safari and not when I'm in the operating system.
Any help?

my friend told me while updatng windows via internet, virus attacks. is this true?
Hello
He's probably referring to the malware that can attack a system if no firewall is running the
the installation is complete. Happened a bit with Windows XP. Vista comes with a completely
Firewall active and should not have this problem. In fact, the problem was fairly well controlled
with the active firewall included with Windows XP SP2. Firewalls are active and enabled by
by default, before the network starts.I hope this helps.
