1373076 2014-04-19 10:40:00 every so and often I sometimes get a random "autoplay" dialogue with the heading "(G: ) (or similar) system reserved" which flickers in and disappears which is annoying when typing as it interrupts, when I look through the disk manager it says it doesnt have a drive letter and is thus hidden in explorer but somehow it randomly shows up with a drive letter and tries to autoplay the "disk" then all of a sudden realises it is meant to be a hidden drive and hides it. Does anyone know what is going on

cautious surfer, avast and malwarebytes,
edit: seems to be more apparent when there is no internet connection. rootkit or perhaps just an amazing co-incidence ?
