This is a picture of my desktop. I was trying to change the picture when all of a sudden my anti-virus popped up so I just moved it to the chest. But then it added that strange bar on the left side of my desktop that I've never seen before and I don't know how to get rid of it.

Does anybody know what it's called or what I can do to remove it?
Thanks.

[serverguy]

You can't right click on it and select close can you?

Or drag it in to the middle of your desktop and then close it?

[SpeedRacer]

Upon running the HijackThis check, I got an error:



Should I click "Yes" and proceed to the next instructions?

And no, I cannot right click on the box and it is not in the Task Manager.

[SpeedRacer]

I apologize for double posting, but after running the scan, my avast! Virus Protector went off but I clicked "Move to Chest". Just in case that changes anything.

[evilfantasy]

Click no then run HijackThis again and see if the entries are still there or not. Try to fix them again if they are there, if you get the error again just continue on and we will try again later.

Don't worry about SpywareGuard for now. If we need to you can uninstall it until we are done.
