So recently, i dont know when this started a black box has been apearing in the upper left corner of my screen.
It appears about every 20 seconds and only stays for about half a second. I was able to get it on a screenshot.
If anybody can tell me what this is and how to disable it, it will be appreciated.

Ok so the black box stopped appering but now it has started to do something else. I will attach a screenshot.

If not then use Revo-unsitaller Pro (it's a 30 trial but it will remove 32 and 64 bit software) to remove them completely through the advanced removal settings.

I fixed the black box issue, but now something new has started happening. I edited the original post to show more information.
