    This (attached) seems to have been "placed", and left, on my PC by a website (http://mysolarbackup.com/) or one of its pages.

    It's on the desktop when I minimize my browser (as shown in my pic), and it displays on top of browser windows as well.

    I colored-in the yellow & black exclamation point "sign", because it would lose it's color each time I took the screenshot.

    Is it considered "malicious", please?

    Thanks in advance,

    Simple answer, don't know as there is no info to go own from a screen snapshot. Delete the Javascript and flush your Java cache.

    Other alternative, run the cleaning procedure so we can properly check for malware.

    Flushing the cache was a cinch (I think??) - that means the Temp files stored in Java, correct, please?

    But how do I "Delete the Javascript", please?

    Yes the Java cache can be consider temp.

    Find where the file is located and delete it. Empty your Temp folders and delete any unncessary files from your Desktop. That is the best we can tell you unless you run the malware cleaning procedures and attach all the logs we need to evaluate your system; however this does not sound like a malware problem.
