I've run Spybot and Defender and AVG and they find nothing.
I've tried killing tasks and processes, but still this tiny square

If you change desktop background to (say) Santa Fe Stucco, does it disappear?

Have you recently updated your video driver? If so try rolling it back to
the earlier version.

That's great to know it's that and not a virus or something - thanks again!
