Answer 2

That sounded to me like a virus file.

However, googling that file name reveals somebody who solved the problem by updating his graphics drivers.

The fact that it only triggers after a certain length of time makes me think that it is actually a faulty screen saver file (and the problem occurs when your monitor goes to screen saver).

Uninstall the screen saver (using Add/Remove programs if possible) and get a more reputable one!

If this doesn't help, try a virus scan.

Answer 3

Hi there ...

ouch, yeppers, it's a virus. Anything that has an .exe at the end is prob a modified virus made to look like a legit app. that ssflwbo.scr is actually a screen saver called FlowerBox. it's not executable. I'd run an antivirus program to detect that .exe file and delete it.

Hope this helps

I was told to restore my computer to factory settings and leave the windows updates of for a while. I t worked for me you should try it. I was told a virus was affecting some windows software. For more informayion you should contact windows or you're computer brand.
