Control Alt Delete Goes Crazy Replicating Itself

[Guest al]

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

1. What is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is

clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

 

Be sure the computer is clean:

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.
