Every time I open Internet Explorer a little 3 pixel
wide window opens in the top left corner of the
screen. I'm not sure what its doing up there but I
think it may be the reason for some other
problems I'm having (eg. Limewire will not open
and webpages load slow.)

I ran a free version of MacScan (Engine v2.0 /
Spyware Definition v2005004) with no detected
spyware. I don't own any full versions, but I can
already tell that this problem must be related to
this little micro-window that regenerates every few
minutes after I close it.

What is the easiest way to fix this problem?

I've been screwing around with it for a couple
hours with no luck. For some reason I haven't
been bothered by the mini window, but I still can't
open Limewire. I can't say what's the cause of this
is.

I attempted to download java updates suggested
on other msg boards, but then realized that they
are old updates that I must already have.
Reinstalling Limewire doesn't do much, and after
running clamXav (free virus scan) I see no results.

PLEASE HELP ME... I am going absolutley insane
agonizing over this. Something is really wrong
and I think it's giving me an ulcer...
