Blank Popup

[Guest]

I have just recently started having a blank popup that will not go away.
There is no text in it, only a square box with the red 'x' that doesn't get
rid of it. I have to reboot XP to get rid of it.
Most recently, the popup reappeared while I was reading an email. There
seems to be no rhyme nor reason to why it appears.
Has anyone encountered this little pest?

your system:
