Window on taskbar opens & closes quickly [HJT Log]

Hi,
I have an unusual ( well to me anyway) problem. Every ~15-20mins I see a tab on the Task appear & dissappear quickly as if a window is opening & closing. The tab has no text. It is happening on 2 different pc's (XP Pro SP2 with all updates)

Both run virus software (Windows Onecare on 1 and Norton on the other) as well as MS Antispyware. I have have also scanned both with other online tools. No relavent info in the event logs.


Any suggestions on what the cause is or how to track it down

Thanks
Tony

Hi Tonyr
I am having the same problem and as of yet I can't figure it out. I also posted a HJT Log here. (See, Toolbar pop up)
If you find a solution or if any one knows what is happening it would be nice to know.
If I find anything out I'll let you know also.
Mark62 posted on some BHO's in my post, but you don't have them in you HJT log so we can rule them out.

Hi Geri,
I think my issue imight be slightly different . The "window" I see is on the XP taskbar ( To the right of the Start menu) where minimized apps are shown not on a toolbar in an application window.

After watching it today it also occurs every 15 minutes
