  1. Hi, I hope someone out there might recognise this icon which appears in my tray until I hover over it whereupon it disappears! It's a little worrying - I have scanned with Spyzooka and Avira and nothing shows up. All the others I can explain! I managed to capture it in a screen shot but have no website to post it on, so here goes with a description: A grey sphere with a red and yellow lightning strike through it top left to bottom right Yours hopefully McCourtie

    Mystery Tray Icon - could it be a virus or spyware

    Hi, Just to "close the loop", I discovered what the mystery icon was - Stardock Impulse - I was uninstalling something else and recognised the icon - random eh? It seems to be a digital downloader that I had installed along with Fences - a desktop organising widget. Having no need of the so called advantages of Impulse, I uninstalled it and behold! No more pesky disappearing icon. Thanks again - your explanation will doubtless come in useful for some other problem in the fuure ... McCourtie

    Mystery Tray Icon - could it be a virus or spyware

    Myke, Thanks for this - I've had a quick look and I can see where to search so will explore carefully when I get a chance and I'm not supposed to be working (as now!) I haven't needed to delve down into this level of s/w before, so will tread carefully. Bring back DOS - I think I understood some of that 25 years ago ... McCourtie
