Strange pop up

Seajay · 09-02-2011, 06:05 AM

Question .... is anyone besides me getting a ''pop up'' in the upper right side of the screen? It is black with white writing mentioning something about Google. I can not catch it to copy it because when i touch it ... poof its gone but it comes back occasionally.
Is it just me or is anyone else seeing this gremlin and how do we get rid of it pls.
Ten cents to the person with the answer to this question..... I will pay you the next time I see you ........(maybe)... (if you will take a check)....(a two party out of state check that has been run thru the bank once and rejected for N.S.F)
Thank a vet for your freeoms and fly the flag on 9/11......JUST DO IT ....

That sounds like you might have installed "Ghostery."
Ghostery sees the invisible web - tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons. Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity. It is a program that works FOR YOU by blocking spyware. Many people think it is a good thing. Look for a little Ghost icon someplace on your toolbar to turn it on or off.

Just for the record, if you are using windows and a pop-up appears that you want to capture, try holding down the "Alt" key an pressing the "PrintScrn/Break" key at the same time. This should capture the most forward window, and in this case hopefully the pop-up, only. Then you can past it into a file and save it.

Save your .10c. This one is on me. I wouldn't want you to deplete your piggy bank.

Sailor Man, You must be seeing things. This is the only black and white pop up that comes up on my screen. I will collect my 10 cents soon.

Ok guys. I want everyone to know that Wayne the Marine is just ''showin off'' and ''actin' snart'' by givin' us all this complicated stuff about ''holdin'' this'' and ''peckin' on that'' and hopefully you will get ''whatever'' to stick on your screen so you can scrape it off with a pocket knife or somethin'. And you can bet your stripes the next time he sees me he will want his TEN CENTS for the good suggestions he gave.....SOLD.. us on this link.

Note to Don. See me at the Rally and i will write you a bad check......lol....
