Finding a Disappearing Application in Windows?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the program-execution-audits dept.

siuengr asks: "I have a computer that has a window that pops up every few minutes, but disappears before I can figure out what it is. I have run every virus program and spybot cleaner I have, but they do not find any problems. How can I figure what is causing this window to pop-up all the time, when it doesn't stick around long enough to see anything about it? Is there any software that tracks what applications have ran over a period of time, even if they are not currently running?"

    It might be a better solution

    Press the "turbo" switch and run your PC at 8mhz instead of 12. The window will stay on screen longer, giving you enough time to see what it says.
