Dear Google,

Thank you for your reply.  I have attatched a picture of what my
problem looks like.  I encounter these difficulties when i open gmail
notifier, I am not recieving error messages, it happens all the time
and it is the first time this has happened to me ever.  I have
Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106, I also use FireFox Version
1.0.6  .  I use Microsoft AntiSpyware and Ad-Aware SE personal, and
Xoftspy.  I do not have any toobars installed on my computer.  Thanks
for this oppertunity, and i hope the information i have given you can
help solve this problem.

~Michael~

At least it sounds like Gmail cares.  Sometimes I send in reports to certain companies and the never reply

Uhh, thats obviously automatic...

It's doing that because the piece of code that hides it has been removed or it is being blocked from executing. That bar is supposed to be hidden. That bar is the actual Google Notifyer program. That’s how the Notifyer stays running in the background. There are many programs that do this. I have a program to unhide these hidden programs but its no super wow when you unhide them, there usually just a blank bar like that one or a blank form.

here is another email they sent me:

Hello,

Thank you for your response. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue
may have caused. Gmail often doesn't function properly while some
third-party security and/or anti-virus applications are enabled. Our
engineers are working diligently to find a solution to this problem.

In the meantime, we suggest disabling Microsoft Anti Spyware, AdAware, and
Xoftspy for testing purposes, clearing your browser's cache, and
attempting to log in to Gmail again.

If disabling this software resolves the problem, but you'd still like to
use it in conjunction with Gmail, you may want to contact Microsoft,
AdAaware, and/or Xoftspy support teams for help customizing your settings
so you can still access your Gmail account after reenabling the software.

If you continue to experience difficulties after following the above
steps, please respond to this message and we'll investigate the issue
further.

Sincerely,

The Gmail Team
