Hi Sam,

It's not something you want, that is likely supplied by some spy or adware
program. Use these to aid in removal:

Adaware www.lavasoft.de
Spybot www.safer-networking.org

This one can help you avoid these programs from being installed in the first
place:
Spyware Blaster: www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

This has to do with MusicMatch Jukebox (a legitimate program) processes
starting with Windows.

Go to Start>Run and type (without quotes) "msconfig" [enter]. This
brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find all entries relating to MusciMatch. Uncheck the boxes next to the
names, Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the
next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility.
Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this
again".

This should stop everything to do with MusicMatch Jukebox from starting
with Windows and you won't get the ShellIconHiddenWindow any more.
