What is This? Help!!

[Amber]

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!

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

[Amber]

nope it didnt do a thing, still there

[PayItForward]

Sorry, that's all I know about PC's

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

Thats what I thought moose too, Ill try the virus scan. Thanks everyone!

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.

Ahh!! I got rid of it!! yay!! I kept clicking on it, and a little box came up and I "X" it out and its now Gone!! I am So Happy!!
Thankyou to everyone who helped!
