I believe i have a virus, i was talking to someone else and they said it might be something with a dos prompt? im not that great with computers so i am not sure. but this is the story so far...
about six months ago i started having problems with my lap top, any time i would try to click on a program to open it, like internet explorer instead of opening a black box would pop up for a second and then disappear and the program wouldnt open. Slowly it started to happen to every single program i have on the computer to the point where nothing would open just a black box that pops up for a second.
I recently decided i wanted to fix the lap top, and when i restarted the computer as soon as the desk top loads a whole bunch of these boxes pop up for no reason without me opening anything it must be 20 or so of these black boxes that pop up and then quickly disappear.
i tried installing a norton antivirus but once i put in the cd and click on install now the same thing happens, a black box that pops up and then quickly disappears. i tried restarting the computer with the cd in and clicked the start from cd, it says it finds no virus but there has to be something.
i have a dell latitude D810 lap top with Windows Xp, any ideas?
