Getting rid of this extra Window on my Desktop

Factual Questions
1

When I boot my system, there’s usually a Window open on the Desktop that is placed on the top edge of the secondary monitor of my two monitor system. The top of the Window is off screen, and I can only reach it by reconfiguring my monitors to raise this one’s window up higher on the virtual desktop, so it doesn’t line up with the Primary monitor any more. Then I can close this window. Otherwise, I don’t know how to close it - it doesn’t appear on the task bar. But this way of getting rid of it is kind of a pain, including fiddling with restoring the monitor position so the two screens line up again.

The window’s title is gcasDtServHolder and it has partially overlapping buttons that say “systrayshow”, “systraynormal”, “systrayscanning”, and “systrayupdating”. It also has pictures of what looks like a cross section of Planet Earth, sort of a red and yellow and black bullseye that’s the section of a sphere, with some of the sphere’s surface extending behind.

Any ideas what this is, or how to avoid having it, or how to get rid of it without adjusting the monitor position twice?

It’s part of the crapplication known as Microsoft Antispyware. Uninstall that, and it should go away.

That’s the sort of thing you can Google for good information on. It appears to be from the MS Windows antispyware application, and other people are reporting the same bug. An obvious solution is to turn it off, and use a third party anti-spyware app.

You’re right, Googling the label on the window produces lots of references to discussions of a bug in Microsoft antispyware. I’m trying uninstalling it. I already have another antispyware program running.

Thanks!

It’s interesting what nonsensical strings you can usefully Google. I wanted to know about how alternating current power grids are used to convey accurate time, and googled the number that equals 60 Hz * 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute. Got lots of hits.
