Ducins Window

We have a floating "black" window all of a sudden coming up with a tool bar
across the top...it has the Microsoft "puzzle piece" in the upper left hand
corner...it comes and goes by itself...what is wrong and how do we get rid of
it??

Can it be a Screen Saver...?...

Turn off Screen Saver (R-Clk Desktop, Properties, Screen Saver--
None)

Ran into this same situation yesterday on a client's machince.

It is a DOS window that opens, with the name DUCINS~1 on the top bar
and no visible content. The window closes in a few seconds.

This computer has been cleaned of all spyware and virus checked with 3
different AV programs.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this would be appreciated.

GG reports it has happened in France & on some WinME machines. It may
have to do with a firewall-- Norton or Adoron.

According to a Google search, it's only just starting to be seen by
others, also. Considering the spate of computers going haywire I've run
into in family and client machines over the several weeks, I'm beginning
to believe in a conspiracy-controlled, coordinated attack of grand
proportions. But then, days spent fixing balky machines and nights spent
debugging scripts, with little sleep in between, can make one just a wee
bit paranoid...

"The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat

This is very strange to google this problem and the posts are all
within the last couple of days. I have Win98 and Norton. No
commercial firewall. The only thing I had done recently was slide in a
new card to hold a memory card, but judging from the posts above this
probably has nothing to do with it.
Weird.

Are you running Norton 2002 or 2003 with Live Update enabled? That
seems to be the common factor among the reported instances of this
problem.

Try shutting off the Live Update (remember to check manually for
updates every two or three days!!!!!!) and see if that clears up the
problem.

I am also trying this on my client's machine. They have Norton
SystemWorks 2003.

Good luck.
