Why my system tray showing a new icon and the message "Windows manages this network adapter. Click here to use ProSet/Wireless' when I have a NetGear adapter

Help!  I'm not a computer guru.

Today I noticed a new icon in my system tray and when I place my curson on it, I get the message: 'Windows manages the wireless adapter.  Click here to use ProSet/Wireless. "(I have not clicked on the icon so I don't know what would happen if I did.)   I recently downloaded Explorer 8 from the Microsoft site, but except that I have not changed anything with my computer.  I have the NetGear wireless software on my computer, so I was surprised to see ProSet/Wireless.  Also, the ProSet/Wireless will now appear in "programs".  Is it possible that someone is hacking my computer wireless and succeeded in putting the ProSet software? On this subject, or is it something that is connected with Internet Explorer 8?  Either way, I'm running Windows XP and have Norton 360 protection.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

What computer brand and model do you have?

What model Netgear wireless network card?

It is highly unlikely that anyone who has maliciously installed Intel Pro/Set on your computer (especially considering that he is even not manages your network card).  Also, it is not related to IE 8.  If I had to guess, I assume you have Windows Update configured to install updates "optional equipment" as well as "Critical" updates.  If you do, change this setting.

Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK), expand the "Network adapters" section by clicking on the +.  What devices are listed under network adapters?

    With all due respect, you are incorrect. You simply did not notice before D drive. D drive is a logical drive. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to prevent it from the show. However, simply disable the system for D drive restore.

  • 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

    With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

    After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
    DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

    Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.

  • V37.0.2 has the new icon on the toolbar above (it looks like server), how can I remove?

    Hello

    I upgraded to v37.0.2 and now the toolbar above (the one with the URL, search inside), the new icon on the top toolbar - extreme right (it looks like server).
    Please see screenshot.

    I went to remove it by following my usual method of an editing toolbar
    (1) by clicking on the icon for line 3 horitzontal (settings I think its name)
    (2) then you click Customize
    (3) then drag and drop the unwanted icons out of the toolbar.
    But unfortunately the man disappeared when I went in this mode. So couldn't do step 3

    In general, if I want to remove something from a toolbar, I do these 3 steps. But it does not work for this new thing.

    How can I remove this new thing that I don't want that?

    Sorry, I agree that the icon.
    A "tooltip" appears when the cursor is positioned on this icon / button?
    Or what appears when you click the small arrow to the right of the 'separator '? The menu could tell you what the icon is linked to.

    In addition, a list of your installed extensions may be useful to identify what it is.

    my phone does not work after last update itunes on my phone connection with my pc, it shows only i tunes icon and the application of itune on my pc does not work

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

    Once iTunes to work properly, you should be able to fix your device.

    Hi DianeCosic,

    What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

    We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

    In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

    Please, let us know if we can help you.

    Thank you!
