When using my browser every now and then a small browers window opens. It's
about 1" X 1" and it appears in the lower right corner of my screen.

It's doesn't show a url when I put my mouse on it. The only thing I can do
it close it.

Any know what this is?

Thanks.

Hi,
This sounds like a malware problem. Download and run CWShredder, Ad-aware,
Spybot (in that order.)
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the security tips and other important information on that page.
