A message offering to let me "Get 3ivx!" has got onto my system somehow - how can I delete it?

Please, tell me more.

What have you installed recently?

[Morbiato]

I think the only recent addition has been an update to Adobe Lightroom 1.1

PS. Message comes up when iPhotos starts

Since the message reads "Get 3ivx" I would assume that uninstalling the 3ivx-codecs and rebooting will get rid off it. The 3ivx installer should also function as the uninstaller. Or look for the codecs in /Library/QuickTime or /Library/Components and trash them.

You can install Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime® components instead for playing DivX and other unofficial MPEG-4 derivates.

Thanks a million Tetenal - did as you suggested and am now free of the advert!
