Everytime i wan't to turn off my pc a program named "[hidden window]" pops up (well not the program itself but windows says it can't close so i have to do it manualy or wait till it's done loading).
It seems to be connected to the internet because the IE icon starts flashing a few times when this pops up.
I scanned my pc with norton and ad-aware 6 but i didn't find anything (exept a few files that shouldn't do any harm - says ad-aware).
I had this for a while now but it's starting to get annoying. What can i do?
Edit: NM i got a new computer. I didn't expect to get it for a while but i did 
New question: how can i let my FPS go over 60? I can't remember how to do this! :oops:

First of all don't believe ad-Aware. It could still be spyware.
I would advise running msconfig to see what programs are run at the start of the pc, and if there are applications in there that don't sound right. Especially look in what directory they are installed, and what filename they have. Some filenames can be quit clear that they aren't created by official company's.
If you find any program, you could try to delete them directly but best advise is to run windows first in safe mode.
If it truelly is spyware. My best advise is also trying out HyackThis. Note: if you use HyackThis is comes in handy if you actually know what your doing, since it isn't able to see the diffrence between good and bad.
Size doesn't matter.

I use stuff like that when i program things that need a monitor. It may just be a window thats open so when you close the program it still runs in the tray.

No strange named programs are running.
And i don't really like hijack this because getting the log file checked takes weeks...
