Open Up the HomePage of a Certain Engine Site, Such as Yahoo....
Proceed to go to the email section...
Then start logging in ID and Password....

Then all of a Sudden, The Page will close on it's own and go down to the bottom task bar....

It is some kind of a HighJacking Bug... Non- Threatning, Just Irratating at times....

Ran AVast, and some others to try and capture it.. Any Ideas on How to rid this Out of My CPU?

Thank You...

Use Firefox :P

[sorry couldn't resist]

Hard to say how to remove it, without knowing what it is. Take a look under "Tools" -> "Manage Add-ons" in IE, and see if there is anything unusual in there.

Run ad-aware and SBSD. This can help you not only in this but also with other problems i didn't noticed.
There are more Spyware/adware scanners but these two are the best by far..

Thank You for Your Response, Was over at Mozilla, Getting a New Browser, Trying to understand the features in the New ****pit... Seems to Fit Rather Nicely.. I guess there are just bugs within the IE... Hoping at this Point that this New Browser will act as a Shield against a Not so Alarming, But at times Troublesome Bug.. It is going to take me a while to go through and see what Mozilla, Thunderbird, etc.. Can do It was kind of like swimming from the booie to the Sea Plane....

Thanks for letting me know , the time frame within his system.. Yea I am In Northern California, Near the Foot of Mt. shasta.. Just the only time that bug would hit is when I would log into My eMail @ Yahoo.Com.. Not All the Time , Off and On.. sometimes that is what got me to thinking it was just irratating...

Sometimes when you log into an account such as Yayhoo or MSN for that matter and the page is not fully loaded and you try and access e-mail it could move the whole thing to the Bottom , when this happens can you highlight it back to active and go on with your business or does it lock you out? and what Operating System are you Running on the Computer with the problem?

I am trying to learn from the Forum.. What I have noticed is that when a problem occurs with someones Cpu, One of the first questions asked is What OS are they running, Why is this important?

What are the different types of OS?

Thank You,

It is pretty simple actually diff operating systems have different Built in Tools to be utilized also have certain inherant probs that can be isolated if we know what os you are using . So If you in turn tell those that are trying to help you for the exhorbitant price we charge here it will save valuable bandwidth and most probablly Fix your problems

MtnClimber, you are posting (basically) the same question all over the forum. If it's not the same question you lead into the same question eventually. Post a new thread in the beginners area and we will answer your questions. But this is the 3rd or 4th question about the differences of Operating systems.

THREAD CLOSED!
