When I am working in any program or on-line, every few minutes Start
menu suddenly pops up and then, in quick succession, a series of about 6 or 7
what seems to be random windows that would normally be accessed from the
start menu. It ends with the home page of a program or some other screen
such as Windows Explorer. The whole system then freezes up. By hitting
Ctl/Alt/Del I can select 'end' to get rid of the unwanted screen, and then I
can close the other screens. Sometimes I can simply resume with what I was
doing, but other times that program closes automatically. It also messes
with my desktop, rearranging the icons and adding new short-cut icons or
duplicating existing ones. It has switches the bar which is usually at the
bottom of the screen to the top or side.
I have run my Norton Anti-Virus and Spyware Doctor programs, but nothing has
been detected. I have also run McAfee Stinger with the same result.
I am very cautious about what sites I visit and what I download, and with
the above two programs running, I cannot see how a virus may have slipped the
net.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be, as it is truly driving me crazy.
Many thanks.
