Your system is compromised by malaware and who knows what else.
Run an online scan eg trendmicro.com
Install, update and run Adaware, Spybot, MS Defender - all of these
PS you are using WinXp yet you posted to a Win2k group?

normally when the System adds an icon in the System Tray and you point
your
mouse cursor on it, it tells you the name of the program it belongs to
with
text information but there are these two flashing icons on my systems tray
that I consider very annoying and are getting on my last nerves.
One keeps popping up saying Security Alert: Spyware and another keeps
coming
up with these offers to download Spyware scanning and removing software. I
don't know how the hell these things got into my system tray in the first
place (yeah I know they get there through net surfing)
I know that I can remove them through the registry but I have not since
been
using Windows known where in the registry System Tray items are stored.
I'm sure someone here in the communities knows this for sure. I am using
Windows XP- Service Pack 2- Media Center Edition. any help is already
appreciated.
