I find this strange, I noticed when I'm in middle of tying or just let it idle, I saw the icon in lower right side sort of blink for half second and that when my menu bar grey out (sort of lock out) that is till I hit the Mouse button and it take out of that..

Why does it do that?

Also in the past, I noticed my Web browser was scrolling up and down and sometime my mouse cursor would move away from the buy button on Amazon.. I think my computer got hacked, but that impossible because I got top internet security and also I got VPN.

Let me know what going on.. Thanks xswordsmanx

uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.4 with a Full Version Installer

___________________________________________________________________________ go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.

Monitor in Task Manager. Should stay below 2 gigs. If excessive then do below and monitor and change if need to...Test and go up again , go back down, it will eventually get a zone you and it can live with.

Go to the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.

Note : Hardware Acceleration is for Video Card, Monitor to see if remain off or to turn back on. ___________________________________________________________ Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech :
