Hey Guys,

OK, hard to explain problem here but i'll try my best!.

OK i switch my pc on, everything is great!, leave it for about 4 to 5 hours and then when im doing stuff like on MSN messenger or playing windows media player my explorer starts going real strange.
I try open up My Computer and it comes up all mucked up like the bit with File, Edit etc dissapears.

I try load up internet explorer when i click it i just hear the error sound but no errors come up. there loads more things which happen, but the only way to solve it is a restart.

Its really bugging me,
anyone got any ideas at all?


Many thanks,
Miles

It sounds like you have a virus. Have you done a virus scan lately?
