Hi All,
This problem not only occurs on my laptop but also on my desktop. Lets say i put my laptop on standby. When i open the lid again and it starts up i get duplication notification icons appear. For example i get two microsoft anti-spyware icons appearing or two safely remove hardware icons appearing. Ony my desktop sometimes if i close and application by ctrl+alt+delete i might get duplicate icons appear suddely. Any ideas about this wierd problem??

Thanks!

This scanner is an ActiveX applet. After a short delay in which your browser downloads the control file, you will receive a "Warning Dialogue" requesting permission for the scanner to run. Click "Yes" and the applet will pop up and scan. You will be alerted if any spyware is found. When a spyware or malware is found, you will be alerted and asked if you want to remove it. If no spyware is found, the scanner will disappear on its own.
If nothing happens, or if you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer, click here and choose either "Open" or "Run this program from its current location". Do not choose "Download". http://www.xblock.com/download/xclean_micro.exe
