Score 22


If you minimize everything (so as to not accidentally close the wrong application) then click into the empty space and press alt + f4 it will close that invisible application that's running.

The problem must've been caused by some sort of adware program, because I ran ADWCleaner and the problem was instantly resolved without the need for even a restart.




ANSWER 3

Score 1


I had the same problem. In my case it was a malfunctioning of the AVIRA virus scanner and the area was in the top left corner of my screen. It obviously tried to open an ad window but the script got stuck.

I installed another virus scanner, uninstalled AVIRA and now everything is fine again.

It took me around 4 hours to figure out what was actually going on.
