There is an icon that flashes along the bottom of our screen periodically.
The icon is blank. We have no idea what process or program is causing this.
There is concern that it could be spyware. I have tried to run task manager
and see if it will capture what this process or program is, but it does not
seem to register it. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can go about
capturing info about what this might be?
