This Sounds Like

An email issue, as posted above, can you provide more detail? What email client are you using?
 
disappears after a split second

the message pops up and goes away after a brief second, if i could i would have wrote down what it said.. All it it is a small rectangular message pane with what looks to be like a yellow triangle with a "!" in it and it goes away before i can even look at it. I use apple Mail and use gmail and yahoo when i surf the web on safari and access my various email accounts. it has been happening for the last few weeks to a month and I've ran norton antivirus and onyx to maybe clean out a damaged file or something. nothing seems to work, i am worried my hard drive might crash.
 
Same for me

I was even thinking about keeping Camtasia or some video screen capturing to see what it said.

Has anyone figured out why this random message pops up?
 
exact same problem

hi guys, did anyone solve this?

I'm having the exact same problem and its really annoying to say the least.

its like a slight taint on an otherwise perfect machine.

no idea what to do.

any solutions so far??

Idk if it was from my browser but I haven't had this issue in a couple of months. *knock on wood.. Switched back to safari. was using Chrome
 
Did anyone find out what causes this? I get the flashing warning box too, and also use Chrome.

What video capture program can I keep on to capture this to see what it says?
Thanks :)
