Weird display on screen

by eminent87 . Updated 21 years, 5 months ago

Hi,

I have a fairly new HP laptop (about 8 months old) with windows xp pro and recently I’ve been gettin this weird on screen display that covers the entire desktop. I don’t know exactly what triggers it but it’ll start out small (2″x2″) and then gets bigger (4″x4″ and so on…) over time. Eventually, it’ll cover the entire desktop and you won’t be able to see anything on the desktop or click on any of the icon. The weird thing is the picture looks like some chinese character of some sort but when it’s full blown, you can see that it also says, “Look at me”.

I thought this was some kind of virus or spyware so I ran norton, spybot and ad-aware and was able to remove some spyware on the machine but the problem is still there. Antivirus scan came back negative. Has anybody had this problem before? Your help is much appreciated.
