Aaaacccckkkkk!!! Bugs on my COMPUTER SCREEN!!

Aacckkk!!! Get it off!! Get it off!!

The birds flying across the ocean on the Delta banner across the top of my screen look like bugs marching across my screen.

Tiny little black bugs.

It is starting to make me itch!

And as if that isn't bad enough the theme song from the Twilight Zone is coming out of my monitor in the middle of the night and the Fodors guy is hiding under my bed. HELP!

GoTravel, I consider you one of my Buds. I'm just joking. I can't figure out why some computers have these weird banners and others don't. But I think it has something to do with differing versions of Windows.

jorr, Peter is standing over your shoulder...watching...waiting....

When you reply to a thread, above the Fodors logo across the top of the screen is a Delta banner depicting birds flying over the ocean.

The size of the birds and the movement out of the corner of my eye made me think they were bugs marching across my screen.

The tagline is "Discover beaches at a bargain".

They look like BUGS!!!!!

Hi GoTravel, I don't have any, birds or bugs!! How annoying that must be. I hope those little birds fly away and leave you alone! Take care.

They're called "Macromedia flash". You can exterminate them if you use MS Internet Explorer. Choose "extras/add-ons" in the menu and deactivate an add-on named "Shockwave flash object". Kill those ... bugs!

If they happen to be Java-Bugs, it's going to be difficult. If you switch them off you'll be switching of much of the menus and data-base access possibilities too...

Anyway, reboot and try again. Most of those adds will be "flash".

Hey! They went away!!

Now it is "Come to a place with a Low-fare Promise"

Looks like flatland with some mountains in the background.
