Hello everyone,

When in firefox, randomly, all of the sudden, a log on screen for gmail pops up. It says enter username and password to log on to http://mail.google.com. Before this, I would have different kind of forms pop up that said something like "Log in to Gmail". Then it had the box to save the password in password manager. I gave my password to it once, but I don't know what is happening! (And, no, I do not have a Gmail feed in my bookmarks folder.) Here is my hijack this log:

You've got some programs I've never seen before, but seem to be legit (your shadow program, kapsules, winroll as well). Do you suspect any of those? I also noticed you have or have had an Apache webserver,(that's not usuall for a desktop computer, just curious...). As for anything that should be checked in HJT,... all the ones that say (file missing) at the end, should be checked.

Anyone else have any ideas why google's asking for a login? :confused: (this may be an issue for the Internet forum or general software...)

Edit: Usually, spyware would try to redirect you toward their site to gain revenue, but spyware leading to the gmail login?...

Never heard of this before. You could try checking the allowed popups. In firefox, tools>options>web features, check there's no sites you don't know. Weird tho.
 
Yeah, Those are fine. I run apache to test my php scripts, (although I have uninstalled Kapsules). I have the googlebar beta which incorporates gmail notifier. But it doesnt make sence why it said MAIL.google.com, it should be GMAIL.google.com, although that leads to gmail also. Well, as long as I don't see emails being flooded into my sentbox, I will assume I am safe. (But if anyone has any ideas....)
 
About the gmail notifier, It wouldn't be asking, because it has known my password because it has been saved in my pw manager. Checking where you said, buzz
 
i get rerouted to gmail if i use that url, so you're prob clean, just a configuration issue somewhere.

Edit: posted same time! I was referring to the mail.google.com url
 
Jeffro, I just spoke to Byteman, disregard what he said about fixing the "file missing" in Hijackthis, apart from this one.

Edit: and remove the disney site from the allowed sites (weird).

I think it is just a glitch in the gmail notifier, there are some wacked things going on in that program. and also, i think mail.google.com is a ligit mail site for gmail's login.
 
Gmail!

Hey guys. The GMAIL thing is quite strange yet I get asked the question to login to GMAIL through a popup window at every startup. All I have to do is press Enter and all is good (IE6 Popup). I think there is a change in the way you are asked because somehow Mozilla Firefox was selected as the default browser and therefore used by the GMAIL Notifier (there is an option to select IE). Anyway, try that and drop by again.

JAN :D
