Bizarre computer behavior
Windows XP SP 3I woke my computer up from Standby.The desktop background slowly degraded to a solid color.Every window I opened displayed little of the data it was supposed to - text, places for input, buttons. Hovering the cursor sometimes caused data at that location to display while the cursor was there.Whenever I opened a drop-down menu the computer rang like an old telephone.Doing an input to a window sometimes caused the program to lock up.The above were true for Windows Task Manager also.I was unable to Restart, so I powered off and back on. Same behavior. Finally I was able to Restart and everything was back to normal. But then it happened again. Restart - back to normal.This seems like odd behavior for Nastyware, but I've done some scans (MalwareBytes and Avast) which found some things, but I don't know what to do with them other than quarantine.I may revert to a System Restore Point, but I'd like to know what's going on. If any techies have thoughts please let me know.1 person got this answerI do too
