Google Popup
-
Why does a "Google" entry keep poping up in the task bar every few minutes? I have tried to click on it when it pops up but no response..I have watched the entries in the Task Manager but so far I have not seen a "google entry" appear. I dont see anything in the settings that would indicate this activity. Anyone know what this is and why it is happening?

@kylermd We ought to call them poop-ups not pop-ups.
Look in Settings privacy to see if there is any setting to disable there.
This may be a specific web page that is generating the pop-ups, so close it.

Thanks for the suggestion.. I just went thru ALL the settings and dont see anything that would be a a candidate for doing something like this. Unless it is hidden in some setting that would not be obvious. Nothing in Privacy that I see. I did notice that every time it pops up, the keyboard is inhibited so maybe it is some other app that I have than may be impacting V...will have to do some looking around in that area...thanks again

Ok, Found where it was coming from. It is an extension, FVD Speed Dial Extension. I also have Google as my search engine, thus the sync that was coming up was by Google. I changed the search engine default to Bing and the periodic google scans in the task bar stopped. Dono what was being done in the scan. I will start a trace later and trap the access and see what is in the data packet it is using. I will update when I have something to add.. Thanks
