Clueless in Seattle

As I was typing my previous post, a little message popped up from the
systray in the lower right corner of my screen.

But before I could finish reading it, it popped back down out of
sight.

It said something like "File Download Completed" but I didn't have
time to note the name of the file or the folder it had downloaded to.

I'm concerned about this because I don't recall starting any file
downloads this morning.

So, how may I re-display this message so I can try to figure out what
is going on here?

Doubt if you can redisplay the message or that it would do you any good.
You might be able to identify the file:

Go to Start - Search and search for files created by date for the last
day (the best resolution you can get). When the listing comes up, sort
by date/time and check around the time the file came in.

Oh, in case it's some kind of malware, make sure you have "Show Hidden
Files" and "Shoe System Files" turned on before you do this.
