My desktop shortcuts keep moving around without me touching them. My system seems a little bit slower. I've ran everything but nothing found, this includes avast antivirus, spybot, adaware, hijackthis, and a registry cleaner. Also my entire music library was moved from my d: drive to my c:. Any ideas what's going on?
