What is this weird search box?

This randomly popped up a while ago, I do not recall installing a search bar? Here's a picture of it http://gyazo.com/c927527320b23f67d813501ee553ebf0.png I heard it was an adware called Complitly, but while attempting to uninstall it, I couldn't find the program "Complitly" when I went to the control panel to uninstall it. What is this and how can I get rid of it? I'm running Windows 7, and Firefox, of course.

Try getting rid of it with ADWCleaner. Here's a LifeHacker article on it and it's completely safe: [http://lifehacker.com/adwcleaner-removes-toolbars-and-other-malware-in-one-cl-734204747 http://lifehacker.com/adwcleaner-removes-toolbars-and-other-malware-in-one-cl-734204747] http://lifehacker.com/adwcleaner-removes-toolbars-and-other-malware-in-one-cl-734204747

  • What is this weird black outline???

    What is this weird little black outline surrounding the things I select? It's very annoying and I want to get rid of it. I know I got it when I mistyped a keyboard shortcut. It's happened before but I caught it immediately and got rid of it, and now I don't remember what keyboard shortcut it was. Please Help!
    Below are some screenshots of what it looks like and where it has appeared, but it's showing up everywhere and driving me crazy...

    Hi Josh and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The shortcut you want is Command F5, which enables Voiceover in System Preferences>Universal Access.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • What is this weird box?

    So I opened up idvd and this weird box showed up, I have no idea what it is or what it does. I want to know how to get rid of it. I've tried restarting it and it didn't work. How can I fix this?

    Hi
    It is called TV-Safety area and was a function when making DVDs that was to be played on old CRT-TVs (not flat screens) and as they only show the central part of the picture (called over-scann) one needed a guid to not let text and other things disappear outside the TV-frame.
    BUT THERE ARE one more thing to this.
    Even if it should not be nessessary to keep inside these borders there are sort of BUG in iDVD so if texts, pictures etc touches this bodraries or pass it - RATHER often an ERROR MESSAGE appears that there is
    MULTIPLEXING ERROR
    So by keeping all well inside this area - It will be so much easier to get a good and functioning VIDEO-DVD as result.

  • What's this in the box?

    I have a lovely new iPod. Just one stupid question so far: What is this thing in the box? The little white thing, looks like it's some sort of protector for the dock port? What am I to do with this?
    Thanks in advance!
    ibook g3 now cadidate MBP owner plus a new color ipod!   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Thanks Jeff but I don't think that's it.
    It's not like a plug for a hole, it's about 4" x 3/4" and has a long hole in the middle. Looks like the ipod is meant to sit inside of it and have the cord plugged in but the ipod cannot stand up or lie flat in it. Perhaps it's some sort of adaptor, clicks into something, maybe that the old thicker ipod sat in but it does not fit in the dock of the old ipod, the new one sits in there just fine.
    I'm stumped as to what it could be that Apple thought we were all going to need it.

  • What is this blank dialog box that extends from the address bar?

    I just downloaded the Aol version of Firefox and this blank dialog box drops down from the address bar. I am then unable to do anything with the page.
    What do I do to get rid of this thing?

    Disable the AOL add-on until AOL fixes it.

  • What happened to the search box in toolbar in PDF Reader X

    Hi,
    Can anyone help on how to get the search box to show in the toolbar as had in previous versions of reader? There dosn't seem to be option to activate it in preferances. Seems idiotic to remove it, used it lot ot search documents, etc.
    If it's been removed does anyone have link for verison 9.4?
    Thanks in advace for any help

    The workaround described here only enables the search button.
    As I understand, there is no way to still have the search box (or search field) in the toolbar.
    As others wrote, at least for me it is a fundamental feature to be able to search for something with Acrobat (Reader).
    Being able just to write the word to search, was so easy.
    So, WHY, did you remove this feature?
    For this reason, I switched back to Version 9 (wich is not easy if
    you have Acrobat Std X installed; you first have to uninstall Acrobat Std X, install Reader 9,
    and then reinstall Acrobat Std X again).
    Sorry Adobe, but this is an IMPORTANT step backwards, which is absolutely not acceptable.
    Please, never remove a core feature (I really couldn't believe it, at first, and thought I am too stupid to find the right way to enable it).

  • What's with this weird floating box on my screen spelling out everything I'm doing? How can I make it go away?

    A floating box has suddenly appeared on the lower left of my screen with white text on a black background telling me about whatever my cursor is hovering over at any given moment.  It's driving me nuts.  I'm sure it must be part of Help or Info, and it probably just takes a simple keystroke to get rid of it, but I can't seem to find that blasted keystroke!!  Please help.  [OS X 10.8.4; Mac Pro]

  • What does this empty error box in iPhoto 11 mean (other than the QA on this app is non-existent)

    Barnd new MBP OOB experience.   More iPhoto issues.  This time I tried to email a photo to a friend from within iPhoto.  When I hit send I got the following error.  (Tried to attach photo of empty error dialog box but to no avail.) So you will have to take my word that I got a pop up box with what appears to be an iPhoto error icon and no text.)  Any idea what it means other than iPhoto continues to be the shoddiest app in the mac portfolio from a QA perspective???

    Repaired Permissions.  Same Dialog box.  Can't email from within iPhoto on new MBP. 
    Why was I using it?  Because that was my OOB experience with the new MBP. 
    Also I didn't realize I could use Image Capture with my iPhone.  Image Capture is not available as a choice in iTunes.  But perhaps that's what is meant by sync with a folder which I am now doing.
    If so then correct, its not compulsory nor is it needed and now it has been eliminated.

  • What is this little grey box in the bar ruler of Logic Pro 9?

    What is the little grey rectangular marker above and to the left of the green triangle? It moves around like an auto punch or loop marker. I think it was causing my project to export a 17 minute long mixdown when the audio files end after about four minutes so I want to get rid of it. Thanks.

    You can not get rid of it!

  • What is this weird sound when I shake the device?

    @Rana80 As above you would be best to speak with your local Xperia Care team as your handset would need to be assessed by a service agent sorry.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    The sound may be coming from the camera. If you shake the phone you might hear a slight sound from the camera which is normal. But if it sounds like something is loose in the phone i recommend that you contact a service location to have it checked.

  • If I delete a message using delete key, AND the "Find in this message" box is open, should the focus switch to the search box, or remain in the message list?

    If the "Find in this message" search box has been left open, but I have selected a message in the message pane, if I use the delete key to delete the current message, the focus moves to the "Find" box. It took me a while to figure out why the focus did not remain in the message list so I could delete the next message. I can regain the desired behavior by closing the search box, but it would be nice to not need to. This is on a Windows 7 OS. I should check to see how it behaves on a Linux box.

    Hi,
    for the Points 
    Sometime I think I would like it if I could delete an iMessage completely.
    Other times when reading them on my iPhone I wish to leave them until I can answer them with something that is on my Mac.
    It seems that as a device or a Mac that is off line can "catch up" on iMessages sent within a few hours would suggest that the iMessages are held on the server for a period.
    It would be handy for different levels of "deletion".

  • Weird Black Box/Cursor Issue

    Greetings,
    I fell asleep watching a movie last night and when I wkoe up I had this weird Black Box issue that I can't get rid of. Normally I can come up with search terms to find an answer to the problem but I'm not even sure how to describe this. There is a Black Box outline, generally where the cursor was last, and, in the lower left corner, a black text box with a white outline and white text. At the moment the Black Box is around the Close Button for Firefox and the Black Text Box says "close button". Sometimes it will give a "command-shift-whatever" needed to activate that button. WHen I shift to a finder window it will tell me I am Currently on a Browser etc. Ad Nauseum. As I shift around it will highlight (with the black outline) whereever I am and continute to give me useless advice!!! How do I get rid of this?!?!?!?!???
    Thanks for the time!!!
    Geezer

    BINGO!!! That solved the problem!!! Course there remains the mystery of *HOW* those button got pushed while I was sleeping.
    Thanks Dominic!!!
    Cheers,
    Geezer

  • Weird dialog box in iTunes during podcast downloading?

    Hi
    Has anyone seen this weird dialog box while updating a podcast feed? I've seen it several times now, with iTunes 6.0 and 6.01. This is what I mean:
    http://www.xs4all.nl/~eur/pics/dialogboxitunes.png
    is this just a bug?

    It looks like a lag in your OS completing the display of the dialog box
    how many apps do you have running? does this happen all the time?
    you might want to add more memory to your machine/machines..
