pop.mp3

What is this and why is it downloaded when someone wants to chat with me on Facebook.

I understand it is something peculiar to chrome which is my browser.
I am using micosoft vista.

Is it something I need to worry about and can I stop it happening

Thanks

Looks as if Chrome does it when you receive a new message. One suggestion solution

You have to turn off the option "Play Sound for New Messages" in Facebook Chat options (at bottom right : Chat > Options).

i think it only happens when your sound is activated too.

A very odd and annoying bug, but the only bug i have fund for it so it not too much of an issue, especially as my pc is on mute 90% of the time.

Oh if that is all it is I will turn it off then. Thanks for that.

Edit: I have done that. I don't ever remember turning it on.

You just need to install Adobe Flash. I had the same issue. Once you do that and restart Chrome, it'll 'play' pop.mp3, rather than download it every time someone says anything!

Well I have Adobe Flash anyway. I don't need the sound to be switched on. It never was before so hopefully that will solve it. I am just relieved that it is not something malicious
