Hello Mako,

AppBar Bullet isn't necessarily malware. Some programs have the ability to make an Appbar, like a 3rd party clock program (as an example). It gives you to option of docking that application's screen to the edge of your screen. Window's Sidebar is a good example.

If you right-click on the program's icon in the Notification area, it may have something like an "anchor" option to put a window on the edge of the screen, and an option to close the "anchor" when you right-click on the docked window.

What icons/programs do you have running in your Taskbar's tray area?
