Why when i play any game my game window is minimizing by itself?

Question

Hi! A couple days ago I noticed that when i play any game my game window is minimizing by it like when you do alt-tab.This is very annoying and although I tried a sweep with my antivirus nothing was found and I do not know what can be the cause.
This happens several times during a game and is very annoying especially when playing on multiplayer as when my game is minimized I waste a couple of seconds to get it right back the way it was.Any help would be apreaciated. Thx in advance

I also have another problem; 3 days ago I found that a program( I suppose) has installed itself in my PC and starts with Windows at startup and now I cant get rid of it. I cant find it at "Add or remove Programs" , I also cant find it when I use msconfig and i see at taskbar (right, next to clock) a flashing symbol of a question mark once then a symbol like a "no entry" for vehicles. The symbol flashes between these two and when i point my cursor there is no description and if i use "customize notifications" function i see "no title" at that symbol
Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

the icon without a name in my right taskbar I told you about opens this webpage when i click on it: "http://www.spylocked.com/?aff=334"
which is an antispyware application. But i cant get rid of that damn icon.I tried everything you told me but with no success.

Re: SPYLOCKED
Please download SmitfraudFix (link below) and save to desktop

If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (normally C:), and launch from there.



Please print out or copy this page to Notepad as you will be in Safe Mode and unable to refer to this page.



Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)
Double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.

If that is too much trouble then click the second link and follow the instruction there.

I had this on my computer and removed it easily.

Answer 2

I had the same problem with my computer and it was pissing me off. Download the virus software and use it to scan and it will show you where the files are.

Then go into the registry editor and look at the entrys it tells you and delete the entrys.

Go into the run menu in the start menu and type into regedit then delete the entrys and its should start look for the run key.

Delete the folders you can it says in the virus scanner then restart and unistall the program and it should be gone but make sure the delete the rest of the programs in safe mode.

Go to start, run, type in "msconfig" without quotes, click ok. On the top right, click startup, then click disable all, or use http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php to find out what you want to disable. Scroll through until you see your antivirus software, and check that. Click apply, click close. Restart your computer.

NOTE: Your computer is probably infected with spyware or some other virus type. Using msconfig this way should also fix your additional problem.

Answer 4

Try Spybot Search and Destroy - sounds as though you have a grayware infection which Anti-Virus prog may not pick up.

Download it (free) install and update it-then best to run in safe mode., if infections found click on fix problems

Reboot - turn off system restore - turn system restore back on and manually set a new restore point.

Check to see if problems have been dealt with.
Good luck.

Answer 5

Your PC is infected. Clean out the malware.
