ChuckFinleyWhy am i getting unwanted Washington post news updates on my desktop?
I've looked and cannot find any WP downloads, links, open pages, etc. to explain where this is coming from?
A little tile slides out from the lower right of the screen with news flashes.

ZSMICHAELI do not know the answer to that one, but it would annoy the hell out of me.

You, sir, are a genius!
Man, was that buried deeply... That was like having to go down to the cellar to find the instructions, with the lights burned out, using a flashlight to find the instructions in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard'.
