My netbook never did this until today when Firefox did an upgrade and now the netbook is the same as this computer.

Thats his web browser. I was wondering if he could use the snipping tool found in W7. That way we could all see what he's talking about.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Can you use the Snipping Tool to take a picture of what your seeing?

Never used that before, but will see what I can do - tomorrow.
Will need to move fast as the purpleish window only comes up for a few seconds. The on on the RH bottom of my screen is there all the time.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't know about W7 but on XP you just hold control and hit print screen. Then you can paste the clipboard to paint and save it as a bmp file.

I finally figured out what this is. It is part of the Firefox Ghostery addon I installed. No matter what I do, I can't seem to stop the tracking programs, but this addon lets me know whenever I am being tracked and gives me the option of blocking them. OK, I need to block them one by one as they pop up, but every day I get rid of at least one tracker. My blocked list is getting longer.
