Template 7 without ad and strange box ?

I am in the process os creating a site for a friend and am using template 7
http://www.thomaswillems.de/crownold/
all ok so far, just 2 little questions:
1.- what is this little square in the upper left corner of the explorer - white square with a little dot in it and how to get rid of it ???

2.- would it be possible to remove the footer in any way ? I know its not allowed, but cause its a free template is there a special low charge to remove the free flash templates text and link
- for a few dollars I would thinkk about removing it - ;-)

if you want to send me a quote, you can do by email to willems@internet.lu

thanks
Thomas
