unknown flash object?

Just looking at my firebug and there is an odd looking flash object in the code which I can't see in my 'view source code'

Code: Select all

<div id="_GPL_e6a00_parent_div" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; z-index: 2147483647;">
<object id="_GPL_e6a00_swf" width="1" height="1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://savingsslider-a.akamaihd.net/items/e6a00/storage.swf?r=1">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
<param name="flashvars" value="logfn=_GPL.items.e6a00.log&onload=_GPL.items.e6a00.onload&onerror=_GPL.items.e6a00.onerror&LSOName=gpl">
</object>
</div>


is this legit?

thanks

Have you found it on homepage?

Yes only in firebug. I can't see it in Firefox 'View Source' or in default.php

I found this, it looks like malware but weird as I am just working on localhost on a mac. It doesn't tell me how to remove though so I'll keep searching...

Found it, it was some Firefox add-ons that mysteriously appeared. Managed to remove them. Sorry I jumped the gun a bit there!

No problem. Closing the topic.
