Framed

Something odd has been happening on my desktop computer.

At intervals (it appears to be once an hour, at about the :45 mark), a small, empty, and transparent frame appears on the (primary) monitor; it grows rapidly, to perhaps 20% of the screen, then vanishes. The event takes less than a second, so I haven't been able to catch what process is involved.

Should I be worried?

ETA: I now find that, for that split-second, it also grabs focus.

Something similar's been happening to mine, too. A small DOS window shows up for a second or so then vanishes. It happens once not long after I turn the computer on (I turn mine off when I'm not using it) and sometimes it'll do it one more time after a while. I'm thinking about calling my computer guy next week and asking him about it.
