XI Wiki
This reminds me of iframess, out of nowhere after I installed Audiosurf, I got this little thing in the corner of my screen.
I can't click it, right click it, etc. It just stays there. It's not a part of the desktop wallpaper as I changed it multiple times and it just stays there. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be ? AVG hasn't found anything yet, and I don't wanna be keylogged

Re: Is this a virus ?
I'd rather quit FFXI than reformat this machine.

Only visible when in Windows?

Re: Is this a virus ?
I'd honestly reformat, that looks shady imo.

Re: Is this a virus ?
It's fine, Wafik. Notice it started appearing after you installed the new ATI drivers :3? Yeah, it's on their forums as well if you want to double check. If you want to get rid of the block, youll have to 'hide' the ATI catalyst center icon on your taskbar on the bottom right corner. It's just a side affect, and only appears on the desktop and not on any other windows, so it doesnt really bug me.

Re: Is this a virus ?
If it's an ATI thing, then Waffles might want to try a different driver, it'd probably fix the Audiosurf issue too.

Re: Is this a virus ?
It's the newest driver that was released a few days ago. Not sure how much the driver increased his performace, so switching to the few months older driver may not affect him too much.

Use that program and find out what's running. Then use autoruns to stop it from loading up. After the next restart, delete the files.

Re: Is this a virus ?
I see this icon from time to time on my second monitor in the lower right hand corner and I think nothing of it. It comes and goes and no, I don't have the C8.1s.

Re: Is this a virus ?
I too got the same thing after getting the new Catalyst 8.1 drivers and freaked out a bit. It's gone away now but glad to see that it wasn't anything fishy.
