I think you have an infection.... need some scanning.

I've had that happen a few times, as well.

Try Control +Alt+Delete

If that will not shut you down, you'll have to turn off and reboot.

Sometimes this happens when you need a cold reboot. Do you leave your computer on all the time?

I'll say this...one thing that is really bumming me out! Mozilla Firefox does this to me every time there is an upgrade:
If I have one window open on the tray, and then hit new window in File... the new window opens and HIDES the first one! So then I still only have the new window on the bottom tray! If I get busy, and forget that first one, it sits there forever, lost. I had that happen once when the first window was "loading" and it crashed my computer over time. I couldn't continue here or navigate or anything!

So look and see if you have a hidden window. I don't know what causes this, and have not found an answer yet.
