Screen saver button - vanishes when clicked

Hi
I think I could have something malicious on my system. If left for a while I get a button on the taskbar with no icon just saying "screen saver." When i click it it vanishes.

I have AdAware and Spybot S&D which are both up to date but I've been unable to remove this thing. My antivirus software is PCcillin and that is also up to date. I'm running windows 98SE.
I've grabbed a HJT log and if anyone could spot anything nast in it I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks

Cannot see anything bad in your log. Do you have everything set to start in Msconfig? If not, do so, then reboot & post another log.
Also, there is a new version of hijackthis out now so you need to update before your next log.

Thanks for the response crunchie.
In Msconfig every tick box is selected in the config.sys, autoexec.bat, system.ini, Win.ini and startup tabs. Under the general tab "normal startup - load all device drivers and software" is selected.
I've downloaded the new version of HJT. I took a log when the button was actually on my start menu, nothing seems to show in the running processes. But there is a line that says"Extra button: (no name)," could that be something. When I looked again the text on the button had dissapeared leaving a blank button on the taskbar. Here is the log anyway if nyone can make sense of it.

Thanks
