Yes buddy I know that this is really very much irritating because it keeps showing some balloons giving a regular gap. It is very easy to slap over this stuff! Just follow these steps:\n\n1. go the the control panel\n2. open the 'security center'\n3. see on the left side; there is a list of some blue colored sentences; the last sentence says "Change the way security center alerts me"\n4. click on it\n5. uncheck all the alerts options\n\nYou are done!

i have never seen this problem before - maybe you could be more detailed as to what it IS doing?\n\n//edit//\nafter seeing that picture, i believe i understand whats going on....play around with those dotted-line borders, and move them until you can see the taskbar window pane icons (the windows you have running and the windows you have up)\nbasically all that seems to have happened is that that specific part of the taskbar is being hidden due to the enlarged size of other parts (quick launch)\n\nif you still cant seem to get it, email me on superXero07@comcast.net, i should be able to help ya

It_girl92 is right. But you has forgotten something very important. Some people has this checkmarked and some does not.\nYou have to "RIGHT" click on the taskbar and now you should see the option "Lock the taskbar" if lock the taskbar is checkmarked please just click on it to remove the checkmark. Now that the checkmark is removed you can easily drag the taskbar back to the bottom as It_girl92 said.\n\nIf there wasnt any checkmark on the lock the taskbar you can just drag it.

Go to the exact location of it and delete it. As it says "win32" I think it is in Windows System

You can pass your mouse over "hotbar" and the menu should allow you to delete it.\n\nIf you really think it is a virus then use this:\n\nMalicious virus removal tool:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

Why not make the taskbar hidden automatically?
