It sounds like some sort of spyware.

At some point you installed a program called "Transparent Icons". It seems to be a startup program that is running in the background. The free trial period has run out. You must either remove it or pay for it. First look in your start/programs list to see if it is listed and has an uninstall program. If not then go the add/remove programs control panel and remove it there.

You apparently have the transparent icon program installed. You can remove the message by uninstalling it (Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs) or by purchasing the program (info on this may be in the start, programs list.

i think it may mean your computer has a virus, unless you installed a demo of that software, and that may be what is causing the message. You may want to run a virus check just in case, ecspecially if your computer has been running slow. Also, you may want to go to "start" and "search" to search "transparent icons". If something comes up, unless you purposely downloaded it, you probobly want to uninstall it immediatly. That is all the advice i have to offer, other than the chance it may be spyware, in which case you need to download spyware removal software. One place you can get this from is: www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx - 19k I hope everything works out with your computer!

You are using a program that is sharewhere, and they want you to buy it since you have had it installed for a period of time. It is usually not too much, but you can just uninstall the program and then reboot and then install it again and that will go away until the trial period is over again.

If you never knew about the program, remove it via the ontrol panel. if you knew, either buy the program or crack it! (cracking it is illegal though - as is using someone elses cracks!)
IF YOU DIDNT KNOW IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK FOR VIRUSES OR SPYWARE ETC!
