HI,

From time to time, a phantom screen comes up on top of the screen I am currently using. I can just close it but would prefer to be able to eliminate it.
The screen happens on Opera, Firefox and Chrome and has a long url ending in "AAAAAAAA"

Any ideas on how to attack this problem?

Chris,
Sounds like you have some kind of malware.
There are many utilities around to remove these pests but
without more details of the problem it is very difficult to
make a recomendation.

Try starting with a program called Malwarebytes.
Its free to download.

See how that goes and we can take it from there.

Uh Huh, sounds like you got something lurking in there.
Another good one is McAfee Stinger, I use both at work.
