    Hi ,

    I recently see this window often

    http://www.tagtile.com/please-wait.gif

    while browsing gmail. I am not sure whether it is a gmail work or any other thing is going on.

    Have any one of you seen such window while browsing or anything. Actually this stays 1 or 2 seconds. Luckily i could capture it quickly. Moreover, i also could not determine what time it appears or how many time it appears.

    I also feel that i see this window while checking my gmails from IE.

    Thanks for your help,

    Regards,

    Vijayrajesh

    I havent seen anything like that. But I am pretty sure it is not from gmail. Gmail messages never has a pop-up
    but only advises you to go for basic html functional mode if your speed is slow.

    just my 2 cents

    Format c:\...

    It seems like you have some nasty trojan... Are you using firewall and antivirus?

    Yeah it seems some kind of virus. Reinstall your OS and install good antivirus. That's all :)

    Yes, I am using Nod32 and zone alarm firewall.

    I see this popup only in IE while using gmail.

    Is there any possibility of getting this popup from any toolbars of IE?

    Thanks for all friendly messages. I shall try to reinstall the system,

    Regards,

    Vijayrajesh

    Thanks all,

    I found that this window comes from spybot software, i have. I hope you all know about spybot software.

    This software displays this dialog box,

    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/versionhistory/17.html you will see a log of "please wait" in the list.

    Thanks all, my mind is free now. :)
