unwanted small 'popups'
hi ...
i use windows 7 on my computer but because my question is to do with the internet, i'm not sure whether i should put my query to firefox(mozilla) or to sevenforums.
i'm sure someone will tell me.
this only used to happen on the odd occasion but now, it's almost daily and very annoying.
when i'm on the net, all of a sudden, what i can only describe as a long, narrow 'popup' appears and attaches itself to either the extreme left or right edge of the window. they all appear to contain roughly the same details, namely links in the form of icons to facebook, twitter as well as to a couple of others. don't know what the correct name is of these things.
the 'popups' can't be moved or deleted ... i've even tried using ctrl+f5 but without success ... and they also cover over any words etc. that appear at window edges. scrolling isn't any good either ... they remain locked to the edge!!
for the record, i've never used facebook, twitter or other similar programmes so i want to get rid of it before my frustration goes into overdrive.
i would very much like to hear from anyone who is or has been in this position and hopefully solved the problem.
cheers ... michael.
