I think i have a virus but my scanner isent picking up anything. The computer is fairly new and has vista 32 bit (what ever that meens) ill admit i do do some filesharing from time to time but nothing hard core. What happens is every so often the screen will flip out. when i run my mouse pointer over my folders and icons they will get highlighted like normal but will stay highlighted the start menue will open but it will be blank while i know that the buttons are there cause i clicked where the icon was supposed to be and it locked the computer. On really bad occasions what will happen is ill try to open somthing and all of the windows that i have open will flash on and off when im in firefox sometimes the webpage will almost copy itself to the menue so it looks like i dont have a menue untill i run my mouse over the buttons and they will appear? Does any one know what is going on or what type of virus it is??!! Help me please!

umm, this is kind of hard to explain but you dont have a virus, you are just having trouble with your computer.
also did'nt your vista computer come with windows live onecare antivirus and computer security?
if it did you have nothing to worry about, and the reason why sometimes you cant see your buttons is because you pressed a button on the keyboard, this will fix if you press the exact same one im pretty sure its the f11 button, at the top.

Hi. U've got a problem with Vista and u're knowledge, I think. Vista is on 64 an 128 k. Now the versions are beta. Try Vista in autumn or winter. The problems u have are from bugs from OS not from virus. Companies regarding AV are prepared for virusus on 64/128k but all are on benchmark. watch your back. Later u'll recognize I was right. Luck.

I think I agree with coolkid, although you could try a system restore from before you had the problem if you can get to it. otherwise maybe try a virus scan in safe mode. good luck

Did you scan for virus? if there is no virus after you scan update the video card driver or replace it.
