I have a lower case white i that is inside a blue (computer) mouse in my lower tray. It occasionally flickers(about every 3 minutes) and stays there(in the tray) for about a week, it then goes away for a few days only to reappear again. My computer is running slower than normal. I have ran CWShredder(found nothing), AdawareSE(only the normal cookies found) and Spybot(found nothing). I have not clicked the (i) yet, but when the arrow is on it, it says "increase your pc speed". Here is my hijack this log, if you need anything else let me know.......

I don't see anything suspicious in your log, but I also don't see an easy identification for anything that would place that icon in your systray.

Can you rightclick that icon and see which options come up?

Let me know,

When I right click it it says "open realplayer" and "about realplayer". I hope that helps, thnx..

Aha.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RealTray] C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe SYSTEMBOOTHIDEPLAYER

Then reboot and let me know if the icon stays away.

Should you want it back, HijackThis will make a backup in the same fiolder it runs from, so in your case that will end up on your desktop.
Click Config > Backups, select the one(s) you want and click Restore should you decide you want to keep it.

Regards,

[Bec42]

That got rid of it. I'm not worried about a backup because I never put it there to begin with. It would disappear for a few days then come back again, and move around in my systray. I appreciate the help......
