Multiple applications on the taskbar.

[Lakshmi Jagarlapudi]

Hi,

I am having att comcast broadband internet connection at home(Gateway
computer with Windows XP OS.).

I have been noticing for quite some time that there are some applications
which pop up with
regular intervals of time on the task bar. When I click on them they neither
open up, nor maximize, minimize
,restore or do any thing. HOwever they just be lying on the taskbar. They
dont show anything on thier
title bar as well. I think my system's performance is affecting because of
these and a lot of other popups
are also appearing because of these applications. Is this a virus?

Did any body face the same kind of problem. Any suggestion to resolve this
problem are greatly appreciated.

Expecting an quick response for this problem.

Thanks,.
