desktop icons going crazy

The icons on my desktop, without any warning or previous problems, started moving on their own. They stack up ontop of each other or move to other positions on the desktop when the cursor gets near them. (Just trying to "capture one" to click on it is hard.) I have not installed any new software or hardware. I closed all running programs via Close Program routine except explorer & systray and unchecked auto arrange. Sorted by name that seemed to clear it up for about 5 minutes then it started again. Help please

 

These are the symptoms of the Magistr virus, after it has been on your PC for a couple of months.

If you have a antivirus, you are either not running it, or not keeping the definitions up to date.

If you do not have one, run this oneline version.
