config.hidden_window - what's that about?

Question

my uncle just called to ask me about this message. it seems when he shuts down his computer, something that his running in the background is closed and as it closes this message flashes. all he has time to read is config.hidden_window
it didn't ring any bells with me... anyone here have any idea what this could be about? i don't know what kind of security he's got, but my only guess is that it may be spyware. he's running windows XP, and it's a fairly new computer.

Yup, sounds like Spyware to me too. My site has information regarding the removal of items from the start menu where it may be hiding. Hope this helps.
