just joined and was wondering if someone could help me with this annoying little problem. I have this yellow flashing question mark/"X" on my toolbar. nothing happenes when you click on it, and about every five minutes a small window pops up saying...system has detected blah blah blah. you get the point. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Dan
