be a clean-up program that deleted them. The ones I have now are:
Sarbash Labs. Appears in the middle of the screen, types out an
advertising message overseveral seconds and has a button that you have
to click to make it go away.
Improve Speed PC
Optimizer Pro
A window that appears and persists in the lower right corner without a
name saying "Reminder. Your Computer is not backed up. Backup your files
online today. Free computer backup Available." It has a "Backup Now"
button.
Sounds like you've gotten yourself infected with some kind of virus. Run
an AV program to detect/identify it, and hopefully remove it. Some AV
programs will give instructions or refer you to a website to learn how
to remove particular pests, depends what you have.
Followup set to mozilla.support.seamonkey.
I looked up Sarbash at http://sarbash-lab1.software.informer.com/ and at
www.sarbash.com
The guy is Ukranian, apparently legit, mostly offering video-related
software.
He does not offer backup software, he does not offer an optimiser.
http://www.spywareremove.com/removepcoptimizerpro.html looks more
relevant, specifically the part about removing "the rogue security
program PC Optimizer 2010".
As Paul G says - not a Mozilla problem.
