What sort of "spot"?? A tool bar of some kind?
Right click it and see if there is a menu to turn it off.

Possibly we are getting toward the root of the problem. (Maybe)

Does this "toolbar" start up when you reboot?
Has it got a red X in the top right hand corner and mention sign on?
Is it MSN messenger maybe?

Go through the FAQs here on how to post a screen shot. Bear in mind that imageF1 is not here any more at the moment. If you can send a screenshot to anywhere and then post a link it will help.

That doesn't sound nice, take a screenshot as suggested earlier via directions in the screenshot FAQ (pressf1.co.nz) (the URL in that FAQ is old), upload the file to here (http://imagef1.x10hosting.com/).

Could be adware but we'll see.

Seems people don't know what you mean exactly,I most certainly don't.
Do as Sal says and all will be sorted.
