Question

I am running Windows XP with all the service packs + patches, Norton System Works 2002 and Internet security.

Computer is connected to net through a broadband router.

Periodically, (every 3-4 mins) a small icon will appear and disappear on the system tray, far to fast to click on it , bit it looks like a small white triangle, what the hell is it!

When playing Colin McRae 3, the game will freeze momentarily at least once a stage as the icon appears and disappears on screen.

I have run a virus check, and Ad-Aware 6, and closed down all unnecessary processes, but it is still there!

Any Ideas?

Its the email scanner built into "Norton System Works 2002". Check in there for options etc, I think you can disable or hide the icon.
