Exclamation What the heck are these?
My mam was working on Excel and she saved it, then closed it. Not long after she closed it, 4 of these little pop-up things came on screen. I didn't close them, because I wanted to know what they were. I opened up Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), and the programs running were the following:-

- Notification Wnd for RNAdmin
- UPnP Notification monitor
- motMpbtn
- MPWnd - Hooker

I think UPnP means Universal Plug and Play, but that's about it.

I hope they don't have anything to do with a virus, spyware or even hacking. We have Avast AntiVirus installed and Windows firewall on so I don't think it's due to a lack of security. Also, one of the windows was quite big (about 1/2 the screen but in the center) but had no name at the top and was totally blank. This is going to drive me crazy if I don't find out what it is.

Please be nice and tell me what it is :]

Alex.

I googled for RNAdmin and it seems to be Real Player related.

lol i googled these and all it came up with was you threads lol. are you sure you spelt it correctly? and i have to say the Windows firewall is hopeless! download COMODO i recommend it out of the free ones also download Spybot Search and destroy, update them and scan... preferably in safemode Avast! is good. did any of the popups have names? titles? were they selling you something? did they say you have a problem?
