    Hi folks. Does anyone know why i am getting this download automatically starting when i open WGT? It keeps opening every time i come on the site, and i just stop it in time before it loads fully. Im not sure what it is, but is only happening since this morning. It can be seen at the bottom left of this pic.

    Dont know what that is , but why are you having to always login ? I would suggest that you clear your flash and cookies and then log back in . Then check the remember me box and log in . Since you dont know what that is , I would say stay away from it .Clicking on it may cause far more harm than good .

    sed is the Linux based stream editor. It is not a virus and therefore NOT harmful to your system.

    I assume you are using a Linux OS by the look of this ?

    Any more questions you have re: it contact me.

    Isn't it the sequential executable dinger program* we keep reading about in here?

    Thanks for the reply Canine, but i am using Windows 8.1. This seems to be popping up on Chrome though, as i haven't seen it happen on Firefox yet.

    Believe me Lonnie, i have tried this many times. The site never seems to remember me when i open WGT, but im not bothered by that to be honest. Cheers anyways.

    Could it be this

    Chrome could be missing a file and keeps trying to download it. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling chrome to see if that works

    It sounds like Chrome is automatically clearing it's cache whenever you close it.  Have a look at this, it's actually showing you how to switch this feature on but if you un-check the box it should turn it off.
