The Yellow Triangle.

Hinatachan · 08-22-2007, 03:21 PM

Recently a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark has appeared on my toolbar... It doesn't seem to have caused any problems, but it still is worrying just being there...

It does nothing when clicking (left or right) on it, thus I cannot provide any more information on it...

Some help would be appreciated..

Thanks very much!

(P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it!)

Is there a balloon message that comes up when you hover your mouse over it?

Hinatachan · 08-22-2007, 04:04 PM

No, thats what puzzles me, it just appeared recently, and doesn't seem to tell me anything.

Have you restarted your computer after it appeared?

Hinatachan · 08-22-2007, 04:11 PM

. . . Oh yeah.. I haven't tried that yet. Hehe...

I guess I shall - I shall be right back with the answer.

Feelin' kinda silly now - it's gone... For now..

But it's still a sort of worry as to why it was there.

Seems to me like MS wanted to tell you something, but then changed it's mind

If it wasn't doing anything and you could notice any changes in the operation of your computer, then don't worry about it.

=) I'll get back to you if things take a plummet for the worse..

Thank you very much...!

Hi,

It sounds like a malware or a trojan, I had and seen them in the past, I would scan for Malware, Spyware, Trojans other virus, I would use online scanners that what i did and they removed it, I used Mcafee online scanner and Panda.

Then i would do a HighJack This Thread just incase.
