davey Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) What forum icon is showing in the url address bar on your machine? Mine shows a green tear drop type. Mine looks like this.Take your pick.Either a malformed soccer ball or a magnified "virus". It only does this for Piriform icon displayed in my browser.It looks like Humpty's in my Favorites list on the Start menu. davey P.S. I linked up to Piriform on another PC and I get the new green pear icon as normal. I rebooted this computer and now I get get the "soccer" ball even in Favorites on the Start Menu. I reset from 32 bit to 16 bit and back again,still the same. I ran TWEAKUI icon repair,still same thing. All other URL icons are normal. Scary !!! Spooky ???

Moderators Andavari Posted March 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've never liked favicon's therefore I've disabled them in Firefox's configuration. Here's the instructions on how to disable them. I simply see this plain icon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted March 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2008 That icon to me looks like a cows coat design, or even a Gateway computer box. I can't even imagine a virus or form of malware doing something so lame as making a change to a favicon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even imagine a virus or form of malware doing something so lame as making a change to a favicon. I'll go along with the coat design. Maybe that's what a pear looks like when it's rotten. Maybe a plot to bring back the "old" pear? Thank God the new pear doesn't have a bite taken out of it!!! davey P.S. Update:When I go to Piriform.com,I get the new pear icon.When I come to forum.piriform.com I get the "Gateway" box. I have changed my mind Andavari.You are correct Andavari it is the Gateway icon. Thanks. Now, where have those other guys been today with this computer??? Off for a visit to the History folder. P.S.S Update : Checked out the History folder.Found nothing unusual there. Checked out Temporary Internet Files.Found the forum with the Gateway icon and found CCleaner with the Google icon. Ran CCleaner and logged back in at the forum and Voila new green pear icon back again.Something Hiccoughed today. Windows did what it always does and does it's best to keep right on running."Somebody" can clean up later. Today it was me and CCleaner!!! Problem?What problem? We got no stinkin' problem!!!
