cant minimize or close..

[Guest]

There is something really wrong with my computer. I ran all the virus stuff and nothing is showing. I think it has to do with the desktop. When I minimize or try to close something..it will...but then a copy of it stays on the desktop (screen). Then eventually when I try to right click with my mouse, I cant. And when I try to open up a webpage..it freezes up. I have to shutdown...and thn it works for a little bit...but eventually the problems are back. Do you have any idea what it might be?

You should get anti-spyware software (SpyBot AND AdAware)
and use them regularly (both have free versions). And keep
them updated !
