Every 15 minutes a blank icon pops up on the task bar - can't find out what

Spyware.

If you are not running something, head to www.spywareinfo.com and run the
online scanner. See if that helps.

Open task manager and watch it to see what process starts when the icon
pops up.

It's a result of some freeware or shareware you've installed.
