Pop.mircx

I have an instance of Internet Explorer regularly appearing on the Task Bar with no visible window.

When I right-click the Task Bar and choose to maximise the window it appears as a blank window with no toolbars, etc. and no way to find out why it has appeared - no information whatsoever.

The title it shows in the Task Bar is a hyphen ( - ).

I can close it, but it reappears after a short time ( I haven't timed it yet).

At the same time a cookie is created with the name ddm@pop.mircx.txt. I delete this regularly but it also reappears.

I have a broadband (always on) connection.

Can someone tell me what is causing this, is it 'dangerous', and what can I do about it?

It worked.

I had run Spybot and Ad-aware 6 smart system-scan several times.

When I ran the 'customised' Ad-aware scan it showed 4 bugs with 36 'pieces'.

I deleted these and, so far, have not had a repeat of pop.mircx.

Many thanks for your help.
