unknown download

For no reason I download something using my full bandwidth, 9 MB.

I looked at the IP address and can account for each site that I'm connected to.

This isn't day of M$ oft.

Occurs when you navigate to different sites. Random at the start.
Only started after upgrading to Firefox v 13.0

Still works very well.

Mark as resolved.

  • Windows - unknown download update?

    I recently installed updates on my laptop and now I have this unknown download in the background (I have a bandwidth on my computer monitor). I did a scan of my computer using free software (Internet security 360) and nothing was wrong. so far, I've never installed windows 8.1 (my current edition is ' windows 8 ') because I never felt that he had to and I wanted to save bandwidth (I measured to the internet).

    No idea what it could be? The Task Manager shows "service host" 7, 4, 16 and 9 by taking the most powerful disk and memory, as well as 'system' itself. I currently write mobile so I could not be able to respond quickly to the posts here, but if you need more information, thanks for posting here.

    Now, I disable automatic updates, once again, better to control the use of bandwidth.

    Thank you

    Since it is a connection counter, Windows Update [automatic updates] downloads that priority updates.

  • Address for new tabs bar loses focus after you type the first character

    All new tab to open switches focus to the bar address (which I do), but as soon as a beginning by typing, I can get more than 3 or 4 characters before it loses focus, and no other keys are entered.

    I have a load of search keyword set up, rather than using the separate search bar, so I can't for example, quickly hit Cmd + T to bring up a new tab and then type "im [keyword]" to search Google Images directly.

    The problem is now that I can get the first letter, perhaps the first, but cant type anything else because the address bar loses focus.

  • No headphone or speakers not connected - if I internal speakers

    Hello

    The other day my laptop has been rather slow so I asked my friend for help. She looked through my downloads and would like to know something, and neither he nor I knew what it was. He had something to do with audio. It has been deleted and thinking that it contributed to the slowness of my laptop. Now my sound doesn't work! The speaker in the lower right corner just icon a mute symbol on it and when I go he said "without headphones or speakers and plugged" and if I click it, it opens a window of analysis saying that it is the detection of problems, which gave me hope because I thought he could detect a problem, but then he said "Troubleshooting could not identify the problem." "  I'm stumped after stopping again, it restart three times and a lot of research on Google. It's happened a few times but only nearly months between when I just restart it and it goes back to normal, but this time by restarting it has not resolved the problem and the removal of the audio something unknown download gives me a reason to think that he can be paid to whom? (I have a Dell Inspiron with 8.1 to Windows, an operating system 64-bit and x 64 based processor)

    Thanks for any help!

    CHOW,

    Hello Eleanor Baker.

    Start by using the Windows system restore (type in the search box window system restore or go through the control panel and click on recovery). If you can find a dated Restore Point before when the audio software has been removed, use it. You won't lose any of your files by doing this.

    He does this is not convenient or does not help, the other thing you can do is go to the Dell support to your model page, click on the button drivers, select your OS 8.1, expand the Audio category and download and install the audio driver that will be there.

    Unfortunately I can't point you directly on your support page without knowing the name of full model of your laptop, but you can follow this link where there will be links to all Inspiron models. Find your model in the list and click the link. (Alternatively, you can enter your service tag.)

  • Downloading from the Internet - unknown Publisher error message

    Hello

This happens only for the last few days, but it is appears on each download, I tried to restore, but it goes back in only 5 days.

    Help, this is really frustrating.

    AFAIK, you can disable this Panel-online internet options. Did you check that?

    But my personal opinion is that Firefox would be the best ;)

  • I tried to download the new version, but my security asked me if I really wanted to download from an unknown source. If I was about to be scammed, or why firefox is not recognized by my security system?

    I received an email saying it was the reporter that I was using an outdated version, and I wanted to download the new version of firefox. I clicked on download now. I am running windows 7, if I get a backup it box. I save it. so I open run it. When I click Run, I received a message asking if I want to run something from an unknown source... then I hit Cancel.

    I don't think that Mozilla will send e-mail to its users and ask them to update to Firefox. I have never received such and I have been using Firefox from the day that it was released. Users will have to use its built-in or from its Web site update. This email is probably a scam. You must remove it immediately.

  • Impossible to download anything, message from unknown Publisher

    whenever I try to download anything, I click on 'run '. It starts to download, through the progress bar, it and then "Unknown Publisher" appears. Click on "Run" and the download stops. I recently installed a regestry clean program "regestry mechinic" and he ran. could it have made my ability to download. If so, is it possible to fix. Thanks for any help that might be out there.

    Running a registry cleaner can be very dangerous, and Yes, that could cause problems. You can restore the registry from the backup that you made before using the vacuum cleaner. If you do not have a backup, reinstall Windows.

  • Cannot download Mozilla FireFox. Microsoft says its an unknown Editor, who is in!

    In early April, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox. For two weeks, that it worked perfectly. Then when he offered some Applications, I have investigated them, but decided to not choose any. When I tried to leave the page to go back to my MSN home page, however, I couldn't do it. So I restarted my laptop, thinking I could start again. But no, I had returned to the Aps page yet. This happened twice more, closed for five minutes and I tried again. Success! But I was still furious with Firefox, so I downloaded Google Chrome and then uninstalled Firefox.

    After struggling with Chrome for another two weeks, because it does not work well with a relatively weak signal of blue UBS, I decided to go back to Firefox. Went on the Mozilla site and downloaded the same version I had before. But when I tried to install it, Microsoft intervened, claiming that she was of "Unknown Publisher" and could be dangerous. If I wanted to deal with the risk, however, I was able to proceed with the installation. But when I tried to install it, Microsoft says that it is corrupted! and refused.
    Then, I went through my files and found the icon of Firefox I had installed in April, he dragged on the desktop and tried to install it. However, Microsoft says again, it was from an unknown Publisher and could be dangerous, etc. And when I tried the same Firefox I had before, Microsoft has again refused, saying, corrupt! "
    It's exasperating recent history concerning my attempts frustrated trying to install Firefox. Mozill Firefox has been around for many years and is well known, then how dare Microsoft argue that Firefox from an "Unknown Publisher" and then claim that downloading the same who worked before was "corrupt"!?
