Whats this icon that keeps popping up in my taskbar?

Question

The thing thats on the taskbar but its at the right, where it shows the programs running. It says OGG Directshow filter or something. And I can't find it in my computer. And I know that OGG is a file type. But, it always pops up when I open my second drive, and sometimes while im doing other things. And its getting annoying cause it doesn't stay there, it turns on and off real fast, and pauses at times, then goes away. How do I stop this?

Answer 1

It is the ogg vorbis directshow filter or codec and CAN be related to the parasite Weird Trojan. (Ogg Vorbis is a music codec like Mp3 and is needed for decoding, ie listening to music made with this codec)
