What the What???

Recently I have been getting random black boxes popping up on my screen,
All over the screen, no verbage or image, just a black square.
They flash around for a bit, then disappear.
Only on this BB.
Adware?
Malware?
:confused:

Anyone else having this issue? Any changes to software or browser? What platform and browser are you using to view the site?

Not me!

Wonder if it’s a weird ad that’s only getting partially blocked?

Nor me either.

OP, browser? platform? Do you have an ad blocker or AV installed?

is there a square fly on your glasses?

I google searched “random black boxes popping up” and it appears to be an issue with HP

FWIW, many of the computer vendors like HP don’t run out of the box Windows directly from Microsoft. They may make “tweaks” to it to support specific hardware or bundled software features. Would not surprise me that something did or didn’t work one way on one vendor vs another :wink:

:lol: No square flies. My singular Floater is more squiggly-shaped :rolleyes:
BUT:
I am using a HP desktop & Chrome browser & did install the free Adblocker. but this Black Box only ever happens on COTH, no problem on other sites.
So far it is a minor & infrequent occurrence {shrugs} - seems like an incompletely-blocked ad to me too
