Does anyone know what this icon is?

I recently began seeing a strange yellow icon in the task bar. It shows up after I play a game. It disappears whenever I touch it with the cursor. Could it be a remanent of the uninstall of Webroot Firewall? Has anyone else seen this?

 

What game do You use? It maybe is a normal gamefile

 

Oblivion. I've never seen it before.

 

Hello,
How about you hover the mouse over it and not actually click it.
Maybe there's a tooltip.
Mrk

 

I think it's not a virus. But you may scan your computer

 

Scanned it and had no positives. Just to be sure, I restored an older clean image. No problems now. I probably was just something left over from a removed program but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the replies.

I have a somewhat similar phenomenon regarding an icon that disappears when I point to it. When I boot up sometimes, a "HP" (or Hewlett Packard) icon appears on my system tray. It disappears on its own after about a minute when the system is booted up. When I move the cursor over to it before the minute is up, it disappears every time. I think it is related to an internal routine to contact the HP website to obtain system updates if they are available. On a few occassions, I do get a pop up window asking to contact the HP site to check for updates. Since I was never able to click on that icon, I cannot be definitely sure if they are related or not.

 

Looks like the AC3 codec icon to me

 

Are you referring to this?

Does the game generate Dolby stereo audio?

 

looks like the AC3 Filter icon to me also. mine is in the control panel and not the task bar.

 

hmm... looks like (that yellow icon, i mean) a plate of 'sunny side-up' eggs -duo that has gone cold to me!

You have scanned it with 'microwave'... ye say?? Hmm... definitely no harm to gobbled it up! ....hehehehe.
