Strange error msg?

[jeffjmr]

Lately, consistently, when typing information into an online form, I get an
error window that is mostly blank. The exclamation mark in the triangle is
there in the upper left-hand corner, next to it is a line that reads
"MSG_EXTRA_3", below it is a checkbox with the checkmark, and next to the
checkbox are two blank buttons, pushing either of which closes the window.
Nothing else is in the rather large window. Opening task manager with the
window still open (it is happening repeatedly right now as I type this
question) shows a blank task line with a window icon only in the left column
of running programs tab. Nothing unusual in the processes window. I can't be
sure but it seems less likely to happen if I type slowly.

Any ideas?

Sounds like spyware/malware. Do you have any Anti-Spyware software installed? If not you can get one here:

Once you download and install, have it run a scan. It will tell you if you have any spyware and it will let you remove it.
