PC Help
I am on the PC this morning and a funny (well actually it isn't funny) thing is happening. I cant put my cursor on any of my icons on the desktop! They all just move away from the cursor like it is some kind of game. I can chase them all around the desktop but can't click on any of them.
Any ideas? I ran a maintenace program and did a virus scan (mine is not up to date) but nothing has changed and the scan showed nothing.
Help!

that'd sound like a virus to me... u can go to pccillin.com and use their online scan which is pretty good... either that or u'll have to go to lavasoftusa.com and use adaware as you may have somehow picked up "bonzabuddy" or another similar spyware thingee ...
good luck!

My Guess
I got a call about that exact symptom yesterday. Look here, slide down for moving icons.

"Bonzai Buddy"
What's the deal with Bonzai Buddy? I know alot of people that have it on their PC. Someone offered to send it to me.
