| New Virus? - Teenage girl's face
Hello,
I am trying to find out if there is a virus out there that flashes a teenage girls face on the screen every couple of minutes. Has anyone heard of this before? How do I fix it?
I hope my computer is not haunted!!!
Thanks. |

Have you already scanned your computer with a virus scan and the newest virus definitions from your vendor?
Also try a free online virus scan. http://housecall.antivirus.com
Lastly I would look for trojans. Check out the cleaner: http://www.moosoft.com/
If all three come up negative then maybe you do have something new. Nothing I've heard of yet though. Maybe you're a lucky first victim!

I've never heard of anything like what you have mentioned , but it sounds like I wouldn't mind being a victim either

Welcome to techimo.
What O/S?
Ctrl + Alt + Delete in Windows98 would possibly give you a hint of what is running.
Maybe click on Start, Run and type msconfig and hit enter. Go to the Startup tab. This works in all O/S's except Win95/2000
Anything in the list you don't recognize? Post the items here if you don't know what they all are.
Cheers! | |

I once heard of a virus from where a SUV with mud on its wheels ran through the screen and left permanent tire marks on the screen on top of what ever you are woking on.
