There is a strange icon sitting at the top of my screen, and when I go to click on it, it disappears. It is followed by jumbled letters that change as Iat is?
She is followed by the jumbled letters that change as I type anything. It of annoying, because it appeared last week and I seem unable to control and do not know why he's here.
This seems suspicious. It appears only when you're using Firefox, or it stays on the screen even if you minimize or close Firefox?
Because this could be generated by an add-on, here's my method hunt and cleaning of unwanted modules. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.
(A) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program (XP: Add/Remove Programs). After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. (XP may not have sorting of columns, but you can try the sorting with 'last run' box)
This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.
B open Firefox page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
- in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
firefox.exe "about:addons"
In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Remember that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
Any improvement?
If you have extra time:
(C) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.
Success?

Screen flashing right at the top of my screen (Windows 8)
Hey everyone, I have a question about my monitor/screen on my laptop. My laptop is a Compaq CQ58 running Windows 8. Whenever I'm on my laptop (especially of office) there is this thin white line on the top of my screen flashes constantly. Sometimes it is imperceptible, but sometimes it's really, really bad, (covers at least a quarter of my screen).
I have no warranty, and I wonder if this is an issue that can be fixed easily without hassle.
Thank you.

Icon bar at the top is not there.
I recently had to replace my hard drive and I installed my computer, I realized that the bar that used to be at the top of my screen which held the icons for recycling bin, internet Explorer, windows media center, etc is missing and for the life of me I can not understand how to get it back. So can we recover it and if so how?
If it is above > look in the start menu > programs > software Dell > Dell Dock > or re-download.
If another brand computer > look in their software > under start > programs.
See you soon.

Hello everyone, after doing the upgrade of software to the new 6.0, all of a sudden I now have a bar at the topof my screen, between the "speaker" icon and the search icon, it shows the messages in this blue bar when there are messages.
BUT... all of a sudden this morning (one week after my upgrade) there is a small green icon in the middle of the bar, and the Green has a number next to it. I can't tell what the icon is, I have never seen this in my life AND I have no idea what means the number next to this icon. The number has STARTED OUT at 88 this morning and now the lunch hour it has a 62 next to the green icon.
I have no idea how to do to post a photo or a screenshot of my phone here or I post a screenshot if you know EXACTLY what I mean.
EVERYONE knows that little green icon with the number beside it? If then... What's to be average or what the purpose of it.
Also, if someone could tell me how to post a screenshot of my phone, I'd be happy to put a picture of it so that you know exactly what I am referring. Thanks in advance for any help.
LOL, no problem enabling, it is easy to forget things like that, especially if you stay on computers or forums throughout the day, sometimes the paragraphs tend to mix together.

Until I upgraded to your latest version, I was able to view several sites at the same time in the toolbar at the top of my screen. Now, I can view only one at a time, and it is extremely annoying.
You can use one of them to set toolbars to display.
- Firefox menu button > Options/preferences
- View > toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden menu bar)
- Right click on empty toolbar space

How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours
Hello, welcome.
The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/migrating-Vista-using-Windows-easy-transfer.htmlFor both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:1. click on START > run2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom rightDO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN5. click on START > run6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.7. type chkdsk /r and press enter8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume9. allow the system to plan restarting10. restart your computer11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

However, as the Ps work the tiles on my screen and the icons at the top and to the bottom of the face are so small I don't see the correctly.
Can I enlarge these and the layers on the right to a box size readable?
