Default Cursed cursor

No help from other XP group so trying experts here.
When changing pages or any other online update I am briefly seeing a small
page with a "do not enter" type circle over it briefly replacing my cursor.
Actually I believe the page has already displayed prior to it appearing.
There seems to be no effect but it being new it worries me. I recently ran
ad-aware and spybot so I do not think that is it.

Any idea of what it is?

Mel

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
