On my desktop there is like a big white box in front of my screen.
It wont go away! I tried changing my background but its stays!
Could it be a virus?? I need help!:confused:

Try completely turning off your computer and restart it, see if that helps.

Hm...when I saw it I had the same idea as PayItForward. I assumed it was just from a program you had shut down that left its "window silhouette" [yes, poor explanation....I don't know any other words, lol] on your desktop...I had programs do that on my old computer. If restarting it didn't work, I have no idea. Maybe it is a virus, then??

That's what I thought as well. Do you have an antivirus program? If you do, try running a Full System Scan, that should catch any virus and then you'd have a better idea on how to fix it :)

One last thing. my stepmom suggested right clicking on the box and checking it's "Properties", maybe you can reset your wallpaper or something there? Just a thought.
