Weird image on icons of downloaded files.

[Guest]

Hi, every time i download a file on firefox, i get this weird image on the downloaded file icon. It only happens when i download from firefox, not any other browser. Im on Windows Vista 32 and the firefox version 19.0.2. Here is a link to show you the image. http://
Its on all software files that i download on firefox, not just the one in the picture. The weird icon has been circled in the picture.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Hello, that icon means that you are file sharing. Right click the file and click share, then click stop sharing to take the icon off of an individual file. If you want to stop file sharing permanently, go to the start menu and click on the control panel. Then click on Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center, and click the arrow next to File Sharing On. Click turn off file sharing and click Apply.

The fact that you're file sharing, if you didn't turn it on purposefully, probably means that your default Windows Vista Firewall is off.

Hope this helps!
