"Internet Gateway: Disconnected" icon showing next to the system
clock. What is this? Spyware, Virus or other?

This thing just showed up recently. It loads with Windows when the
Desktop boots on a Windows 98SE system.

PC is running eTrust antirus, which is right up to date.

Spybot 1.3 didn't pick it up.
Running Trend Micro's full online Security & Virus check didn't help.

Any thoughts? Spyware, Virus or something else?
