A random popup appears in Windows 7 titled as Information with a progress bar and a clock. The window sometimes says Please wait a moment..., and the progress bar moves very slowly and disappears.
I don't know the source of this popup. I tried to search regarding this popup on the Internet, and some people had this problem. It also has a question on Yahoo! Answers, but everyone told to scan for malware and viruses.
Is there any way to know the source process for this window/popup?
- The task manager shows nothing about this window
- The only tasks that are running are Google Chrome, etc.
- Right-click and left-click does not work on this window or its title bar.
Answer
You can identify the application by getting Process Explorer tool from Microsoft SysInternals.
At the toolbar, locate and use the following tool:
If you drag & drop it over unknown window, its process will become highlighted in the list.
What you can do then is to right-click that process and select Check VirusTotal to see whether the image is valid and well-known.
You can also double-click the process to learn about its EXE path, parent process or company who created it.
