Hi, a couple of weeks ago I noticed a small alert icon in the system tray. I dont know what its for, double clicking it does nothing, right clicking does nothing and if you hold your mouse over it for a description nothing comes up.

My computer is running normally other than icon. Does anybody know what this is? Here's a pic of what I'm talking about:

did you look in msconfig, startup, to see if something listed there throws up the alert??

I found out what causes it, its not spyware or viruses. Its nVidia..... Yeah, for some reason every now and then when the graphics driver dosent load correctly, it reloads and gives me an alert which dosent seem to disappear... Oh well, its only intermittent so I guess I'll just put up with it. Thanks for the help!
