I noticed a strange program running in the topleft corner of my screen (see the image here http://www.geocities.com/johnl_regina/funny1.JPG) I was able to drag it somewhere else (see this image http://www.geocities.com/johnl_regina/funny2.JPG) I can't close it, I can't figure out what it is. I've used the task manager to close a bunch of processes but none of them closed this thing. Does any one know what it is? I don't even know how to describe it so that I can search for it on the internet. Any help will be very appreciated John

Hi, is your desktop set to display web pages. Try this, Right click on desktop and select properties, select Desktop, select Customize Desktop, select the Web tab and then uncheck anything that is selected in there by removing the tick mark, click ok to finish.

 I'd look in on all of them,someone should know what this thing is.Just "Covering" 
it up like will only lead to trouble futher down the road if it is indeed Malware.

Good idea; thanks.
I run an anti-spyware program fairly regularly.
I know it's not enough but I didn't think I was being so lax that I would pick something 
up.
I'll post back here if I find anything
