Mysterious Black Box

On my desktop there is a mysterious black box, I can re-size it but I can't close it. Here is a screen shot of it:

yes that worked sweet I learned something new, but I hope it doesn't start up again when I restart my computer, if it does do you have any ideas?

It looks like an orphaned window from Command Prompt.

What happens if you right click it?

check task manager for unknown processes

I am most interested in the orphaned command prompt reply, note I didn't find any unknown processes that were obvious and right clicking it does nothing, I don't think it had anything to do with Messenger. Closing it with Alt F4 did work and it did not start up again after a restart.

probably a left over spawned when an install needed to register something. as long as its closed no problem

Start menu search box. Type msconfig, hit enter. Go to startup tab. Check what is starting with your pc. Use regedit to find any offensive key(s) if any and delete.

After, scan with Malwarebytes.

This black box is due to GTA IV Rockstar Social club.

Both I and my friend had this issue and noticed we both have the game. I also noticed that you have it. Once we ended the process for it the black box disappeared.
