    After operating for some time, my HP 8776C running ME (OEM ver 4.90.3000) desktop icons become unstable when the pointer approaches them---if you're fast it is possible to click on it to open that program, but if you're slow, then the icon jumps to some other part of the desktop in no discernable pattern. If this sounds like a nightmare, it is. Rebooting solves the problem temporarily, but it returns.

    This phenomenon, I believe, started after downloading some children's programs, but that is unclear to me (I don't use this computer).

    I've updated the ME version and my VirusScan program (so I don't think it is an offending program) and I've updated the Logitech Marble Mouse software, to no avail!!

    Anybody have any ideas?

    Thanks

    Please do a search in the Security / Virus forum. It's a virus.
