It is quite certainly not a hacker tool, since that would never add an icon on the task bar to show that it was running. If you ran all these programs to test it, you're probably as safe as you can get.

Could you describe the icon a bit? some programs like GATOR (which is considered malware by most) use an icon to seem ore legit. also run services.msc and/or msconfig and you can see what's starts on your computer. (start->run->services.msc) post anything that looks fishy, there are a number of people here that can identify whatever you have running.

I recognize that Icon as the XVID (or is it DIVX) anyway, it's the icon for one of those two, it should come up when you play an AVI movie and sometimes has trouble disappearing on its own as many icons do. it's not spyware or anything malicious, but it is annoying to me since it steals focus from windows media player.
Sep 26, 2007 - 09:11 AM
by the way, your machine is pretty clean. one small optimization you may want to make is if you're not using file sharing, disable the computer browser service (you probably won't even see a difference)
Sep 27, 2007 - 10:56 AM
The version of XVID (See CODECS) that was being used ran as an add-on for windows media player. Whenever the user watched an avi file that utilized this codec, a tray Icon would appear that resembled a film reel. However, with windows media player closed the codec would stop running but leave the icon there. the icon would later disappear when hovered over with the mouse. This disappearing act seemed suspicious since there are a couple of spyware programs that do leave icons in the task bar. GATOR and SPYAXE to name a few. Chances are, icons that disappear from the tray are processes that have quit.
Sep 24, 2010 - 10:23 PM
some programs like GATOR (which is considered malware by most) use an icon to seem ore legit. also run services.msc and/or msconfig and you can see what's starts on your computer. (start->run->services.msc) post anything that looks fishy, there are a number of people here that can identify whatever you have running.

A private investigator can find out fast because they have GPS tracking devices to track your spouses location. They can get phone records such as deleted text messages. They can monitor their computer usage. The use hidden audio and video devices. They can send in female/male decoys to test their intentions. A private investigator will get the truth quick. for confidential consultation emailmtravis039@gmail.com
