Why does google chinese translation pop up when im writing emails? PLEASE HELP!?

When I am writing e-mails in Firefox a little google translation thingy pops up next to my words and makes it very difficult to get anything done. I try to go to option for the toolbar by right clicking on it, and EVERYTHING on the menu is in Chinese. I tried clicking random stuff in the menu hoping one would be exit, but I just end up opening up crazy google.cn searches.





why is google being such a bastard?|||Not sure, but I suspect you have some adware on your machine, probably (just a guess) from China. You might want to run some anti-malware scans.





If you have an anti-virus, make sure it has the latest virus definitions and run a scan with it in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. That often prevents malware from protecting itself. If you don鈥檛 have one, many people here swear by AVG (it鈥檚 free).





I suggest you also download Ad-Aware 2008 and Spybot S%26amp;D (they鈥檙e free), install them, update them and run them. If any of the above (or any anti-malware, for that matter) doesn鈥檛 seem to be able to run properly or get rid of everything it reports finding, try running it again in Safe Mode.





Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.





To get into Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking:





1.Log out and reboot your machine.


2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.


3.Select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.


4.Login. If the malware has changed your password, try logging in as Administrator. By default, Administrator has no password.


5.The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different.


6.When you're finished doing what you need to do, log out and reboot back into normal mode.





Note that even if the anti-malware programs get rid of the malware, they may not be able to reverse the effects. Search the Web for possible fixes.





Update and run everything regularly, not just when you think you already have malware.





Good luck.
