Why my browser is spawning invisible windows?
Operating system: OS X 10.9
To go about four months ago, I started seeing windows without title and not selectable spawning after my browser has been open for some time (i.e. after I visited a few sites). The number of these invisible windows develops over time, but is deleted if I close the browser and start a new session. He has persisted through many new versions of Firefox.
I tried disabling all the Add-ons. Still happens.
I tried to keep track of what sites caused the problem. No correlation.
Today, I uninstalled Firefox, use AppZapper - who should have removed everything - then installed a new. The only thing I imported were bookmarks in the backup directory in my old profile folder.
.. .and it goes again. Here is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/ojcODd1
Any help would be appreciated.
Default 'privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies': false, is generally true. and network.cookie.lifetimePolicy': 1, is usually 0.
I don't know exactly if this is the result cookies not removed, but here is the subject: entries in config that stand version 34.

An invisible window on my desktop. __
I have this strange invisible window on my desktop.I only found it because it was covering some of my icons and I could not click on them, after further investigation I could find (but not see) the invisible window by changing horizontal and vertical resizing cursor, I knew the window was ther, but I could not see, I could resize the window and even guess where the narrow X would be on the invisible window and close it , but it comes back.What is this window and I don't see it and get rid of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.I noticed exactly the same thing. I have my mouse over icons near the top left corner and I noticed on certain area like 1 x 1 inch or so I couldn't click on the icons below him.
It's so weird to have such invisible window covering part of the office. I do not, it is not normal behavior.
I don't understand what program could do it again. I have Nod32 latest scanned my system - no viruses.
Really weird.
I urge people to cover their desktop with icons and then start looking with the mouse if there is no area that prevents interaction with the desktop icons. We need to know what is the cause. Could be bug, could be a new spyware?
EDIT: POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Wow, just as I wrote this post, I found a possible solution to the invisible window on desktop.
Called Drive Manager Desktop Gadget is to start creating invisible window named Form1 on my Windows 7 64 bit. I don't know why it does, I can kill it in the Task Manager and gadget still works. Maybe bad coding?
In any case, after closing form1 application gadget or murder I can click again on the box office. I hope this helps others - try closing your Google desktop gadgets.

If your mouse pointer is in contact with the lower right of the screen (there is a small rectangular box it), he's going to hide open windows and show the desktop. This is normal.

using Firefox 11.0 on Windows 7 prof 64 bit, when trying to 'bookmark this page' in the bookmarks drop-down menu at the top of the browser bookmark pop-up window. When I move my mouse over the bookmark pop-up window to change the directory where you will store the bookmark, it disappears before I can do something? If I move my mouse near the yellow star on the right side of the window to the url, the menu bookmark can appear again, but it disappears when I move my mouse over it?

I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?
activate windows 7?
I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?
XP has been activated years ago? now, they say both need equipment to enable the garbage.
There is nothing wrong with your report that I can see - so you should not receive not authentic or notice of activation.
The notification came at one time and then disappear later?
If Yes, then it is probably due to a "race condition", where two programs or more are fighting for the possession of a file--in this case, it prevents the system WGA, checking the status of the operating system, resulting in the notification. A plus later re - test then clears the air.
The addition of SH Devolo may have been the straw that broke the back - is the amount of RAM on the system? XP SP2 requires at least 512 MB for a reasonable speed, so if your system has less, I'd say you are trying to upgrade if possible.

Why security essientials keep turn off windows Defender. ?
Why essential security keep turn off windows Defender?
Hello
Windows Defender features are included in MSE, defender of loading would be redundant.
Windows Defender antispyware =
MSE is antivirus + antispyware.
Then think about MSE as Windows Defender with more added (which is).
===========================================
Here's what I use and recommend:
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
(Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.htmlOr use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.I hope this helps.
