my computer has been acting abnornally for about a week, first i lost my wallpaper and since then some times when i try to open internet explorer it just keeps opening copy after copy. one time it was 61 copies another time it got up to 93 copies before i finally had to turn off the power. also when i opened MS excel the cursor immediately started scrolling down the page and would not stop until i closed the program.
i have run adavert 2007, spybot search and destroy, smitRem and Mcafee virusscan almost continuously and the problems just seem to be getting worse.
MS windows XP
Professional
version 2002
service pack 2
McAfee virusscan
build 10.0.27
engine version 5100
DAT version 5179
DAT file created 12/06/2007
Adavert 2007
Spybot search and destroy
SmitRem
any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm getting desperate, my computer has become next to useless.
thank you
