Problem Summary: 6 point white star on taskbar; frozen toolbar, screen & icons

My computer takes around 20-25 sec to boot up & then a 6-point white star pops up in the taskbar by my clock & my computer immediately freezes.\r\n\r\nIt began two days ago, It suddenly froze and i noticed that a 6-point white star had appeared down in my Task bar by the clock. I put the mouse over it to see if i could see what it was but it wouldn\'t show anything, nor would it show anything else. its like the whole bar had frozen, i could not click on the start menu or any icons on my desktop. I Ctrl,Alt,Del and opened task manager and it instantly froze it up. The weird thing was i could still surf the web. I can ctrl-alt-del and choose to switch users then signed back on to the same account it would unfreeze everything for about 10-15 sec to let me open or close things then it would repeat the freezing process. But a 2ND star would appear and so on 3rd 4Th or 5Th. I have Vista ultimate 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.\r\n

Problem Summary: When i bootup my computer it take around 20 sec then a 6-point white star popup in the taskbar, then my computer freeze and task manager. Please help i don\\\'t know what to do :(

It began yesterday, I was doing my thing on my computer and all the sudden my computer seemed to freeze and i noticed that a 6-point white star had appeared down in my Task bar by the clock. I put the mouse over it to see if i could see what it was but it wouldn\'t show anything, nor would it show anything else. its like the whole bar had frozen, i could not click on the start menu or any icons on my desktop. I Ctrl,Alt,Del and opened task manager and it instantly froze it up. The weird thing was i could still surf the web, it would;d let me use firefox if it was already open.\r\nIf i ctrl-alt-del and choose to switch users then signed back on to the same account it would unfreeze everything for about 10-15 sec to let me open or close things then it would repeat the freezing process. But a 2ND star would appear and so on 3rd 4Th or 5Th. I ran my anti virus program (avg pro) and it found a Trojan along with a few cookies. It fixed them but the problem still persisted. So i resorted to perform a \"go-back\" to 2 days before. it ran its thing and went back 2 days but the star still showed up. I can start in in safe mode and it will work fine, i left eh computer off all day and just booted it and the star did not show up. This is fine with me, but i want to know what the heck it was and how to make it never happen again.\r\n\r\nSystem OS is Vista ultimate 64-bit.\r\n\r\nAny help would be great.
