Just got this strange new icon next to my clock on the taskbar i am running windows vista 32 bit. When i right click all i get is an exit button, when i click it dissapears

<---- this is a snapshot

[Mancow]

Nobody has ever seen this?

[Jacee]

It's not really big enough to see what it is

[katabby]

I think its for spysweeper or one of the other antispy programs.

[Jacee]

It's not Spy Sweeper or SuperAntispyware.

Doesn't it give you any clues if you right or left click it?

When I right click it all it says is EXIT.


Nothing else to it

What about when you hover over it?

When the icon is hovered over it displays (DISCONNECTED)

OK, so it's some sort of 'networking' thing. doesn't sound like an actual network connection, but I suppose it oculd be something like ActiveSync. I have that on my home PC and IIRC when my PPC isn't plugged in all it shows is 'not connected'. Don't recall what the right-click menu says.

Have you got a camera or any ir program installed

What type of computer is this icon appearing on? It is too small to make out for sure, but it rather resembles a battery. My laptop has something that looks like that when I am running on battery power. It shows battery life before shutdown.

Yes i have installed the Minicam pro rev. 2 but I had to uninstall because it was not compatible with vista. Wow you hit it right on the dot. But how do I get rid of it??


Thanks,
