    I'm having some trouble with my comp again. I turned off my firewall settings and forgot to set it again and ever since I did that I have this Red Dice thing that pops up ever 5 seconds or so on my taskbar? tool bar? The area right next to where it shows the time on the bottom right corner and all the programs that are running. I tried clicking on it to see what it is but it wont do anything. It just says it'c called "Skinkers Software".

    Also normally when using a computer and scrolling you should just have an arrow but mine has an arrow and the hourglass thing right next to it at all times. I believe this is a problem associated with Skinkers Software as well. I think this is spyware or adware, something along those lines. Has anyone experienced the problems I am having. If so any help or remedies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Asian, the toolbar on your PC that contains your Start menu is called the Taskbar, while the place where the clock and smaller icons reside is called the IconTray. More than likely you should be able to right-click or just click that one program, and see if it quits. You can then add it to your firewall as a blocked program, and it will no longer return.

    I am hoping you did some research for this program on your own. What did you find out about it?
