Guest al Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I am beginning to have a problem with using Control Alt Delete. It replicates itself to the point where I have 10 sometime 15 windows open. This evening, it replicated itself and caused my desktop icons to flash on and off. I eventually had to unplug the computer to get it to stop. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance -- al

If you think it is clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this? Be sure the computer is clean: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware 2. If the computer is clean, what happens if you use a different keyboard? If you have the old-style ps/2 keyboard (round connector), make sure you turn the computer off before unplugging it and connecting a different keyboard.
