So this could simply be an application starting up and then shutting down right away.  Sometimes programs do that in order to accomplish something like quickly check for updates, etc.\n\nIt's a bad design on the programmers side, but it isn't necessarily anything malicious.  Run a spyware/virus check just in case, but I doubt it's a big deal.\n\nAlso, if you are curious, you can use the task manager in windows (hit Control-Alt-Delete just once) and you can see what programs are actually running at the time.  Most you won't recognize, but you can do some quick net searches to find out any ones that look odd.

DON'T DO IT!  It is likely a pop-up ad that is either spyware, or will take you to a spot and tell you to buy this special software to fix a non-existent problem.  These pop-up ads are total rip offs.

CTRL+ALT+DEL  It will bring up the windows task manager box.  Select the pop up program and close it.  You can also try the F4 key.

try using Process Explorer located on www.sysinternals.com.  It's a free stand-alone utility that acts like task manager but more powerful.  You may see the program running this way

Try pressing "Win + U" (Win is that key with a MS Windows logo on), and check on the list of tasks if anything strange is on...

If you have a myspace and stuff like that it's likely you have spyware on your comp.\n\nDownload Yahoo! Anti Spy, update and run a scan on it.  Delete everything that it finds (becasue they're bad stuff that do crap to your comp)\n\n\nAfter this, restart your computer, and if it still exists,  make sure you didn't "auto-hide" your taskbar.  Still happening?   Ctrl + Alt + Del, click File > New Task (Run...), type in "explorer.exe" and hit OK.  Remember to type it WITHOUT the quotation marks.\n\n\nSome other thing, please don't type like that people who do that scare me.

Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the Task Manager. There are tabs for applications and processes. The processes tab will let you know specifically what files are running and how much of the CPU processes they account for.

if you do contol/alt/delete. the task manager opens, from here you can view the programs and by clicking the tab, look at all the process list. If you are not familiar with the terms, they will all look strange but you can type the names into an internet search and see what they are doing.\n\nDon't shut any down unless you find out they are spyware, virus etc and then you will still have to take further action to remove them
