This actually happened before but then disappeared when I did updates for Windows 10. Popped up when I came out of Firefox on to the desktop again. Checked for Windows Security updates and got a full upgrade which took 1hours .30 minutes.

And the again it popped up on desktop. I have no idea what it is.

I just close Firefox down when it pops up. Also the last time it was Skype it popped up after I opened to see if my brother was online.

I did Google it, and it mentions Firefox, and Verizon these are from 2009 and 2013. Linux,Microsoft and Chrome it was happening on all back then. They said its Verizon's fault but they don't seem to want to fix it. There was no answer given on how to stop it popping up???

I was not sure whether to click Yes or not. I mean I just close down Firefox and it pops up on the desktop. I did hit the X to close it yesterday and so far its not come back up. I actually believe it was Hotmail was the last one I was on yesterday, but others before when it popped up before. The weird thing was when I did updates for Windows 10 the last time weeks back it disappeared until yesterday.

The weird part is its only after you close it comes up. I have been getting loads of spam WhatApp messages on one of my Hotmail accounts, but just block without playing.
