Browser Annoyance
See attached. Note the very light gray background bar across the bottom.
This pops up almost EVERY time in FireFox; I'm not sure if it happens in IE or Chrome.
Every time it is different; usually an Ad for something.
How can I get rid of this?
If I click the X it goes away for that url, that instance.
Then it comes back again with the next time.

If it happens only in Firefox, you probably enabled some add-on. If it happens in all browsers, you probably have accidentally installed some 'helper' program. You might be able to remove it from the Control Panel if you can figure out what it is.
That is a brower extension that installs from a streaming video website. In order to remove it you have to edit your extensions.
In linux the file location is :
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/pro
In windows the file location is :
c:/Document and Settings/(your username)/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profi
in this location you should find a folder for each extension that is installed in firefox.
Please delete the one associated with ilivid

Definitely, if you are not using that thing, get a rid of him.
The same for Yontoo, btw Symantec says this about Yontoo:
http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2012-052923-1931-99
so you can see Yontoo is a potentially unwanted application that installs a browser extension to display advertisements
And finally I also do not know PlayBryte and if you did not install for some reason put it away. Then restart your browser and check if it helps

According to Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?Name=Adware%3AMSIL%2FPlayBryte , PlayBryte is probably the one putting that on your pages so it needs to go too.

I removed PlayBright, Yontoo & Sweetpacks.
So far that stuff is gone.
If it's still gone tomorrow, I'll award points.
