Which Windows version do you have?
Is your Windows fully activated?

Hello Koos! Sounds like your spelling checker is also like to be having problames.

Are you using Windows 7? Windows 7 automatically changes your wallpaper every ten minutes.

if you are not using Windows 7, then maybe another wallpaper changing program is doing it?

you take it to your local computer shop and they must spray a detergant on it and should maybe put a condom on it then it should be sorted

Lol, no.


Run Spybot Search and Destroy.
Do you have antivirus? If you have update it and do a full computer scan.

There's nothing you can do now... might as well throw away the pc.

At first I couldn't tell if he was kidding. I have had a similar spyware before though. It would prevent me opening up any anti-virus software, and would pop open the run command and type stuff like "I am a virus... muhahahahaha" and "Format c:\" etc. Was a bstard to get rid of.

That sounds like a nasty one!

Koos, it is a bit old but have a look at:
