Yellow Triangle with Black Exclamation Point
I'm sorry for posting this here because the problem in question in on a Windows XP System, Fully Updated, If you can't help me here maybe someone can point me to an appropriate (similar to this) forum
This is my wifes computer and in the Task Bar every so often a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point will pop up. If I click, right click, or just hover over it, it will disappear. Nothing special seems to trigger it. I showed my wife and she says she HAS seen it before as long as 8 months ago. I do the maintenance on the computer but do not really use it although I think I have seen the icon once before in the past but it quickly went away
Security on this computer includes Norton Internet Security 20011, Malwarebytes, Supeantispyware, and spywareblaster. I also have Norton Utilities but do not really use it for maintenance although I know it is always running. I do weekly or more scans and don't seem to really come up with anything major. My wife does not surf the dark corners of the web just mostly checks email (does not open attachments) reads the paper and shops and well known sites.
I do not see any errors in the event viewer or and conflicts in the device manager. I have researched a little online and explanations seem to be all over the board. It does not seem to effect the PC in anyway so if is not harmful I am not really worried or concerned at tracking down EXACTLY what it is again as long as it's not harmful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I should also mention that I WAS having Internet issues tonight as well, but a reboot on my modem and router seemed to fix this. I found a picture online of what the icon looks like.
