A question about a virus......
« on: June 26, 2010, 10:30:44 PM »
Ok, this is weird. If I let my computer sit Idle for a few hours, instead of going into screensaver mode it will make the screen entirely black and play random stupid videos in the center of people doing everyday things. Is it malware? add ware?

Check your screen saver first to make sure nobody changed it.
