It sounds like a remnant of an app that did not fully close or one that was uninstalled but the login startup process was not halted.


Something unwanted seems to be running in background. The hard part will be identifying that in Activity Monitor. Do you have apps set to auto start? If so, disable them all and see if it goes away. If it does restart then one at a time, restart, and see if the box comes back.
