I am running windows XP, and lately strange things have been happening on my PC
Desktop icons just up and disappear. The only one I have noticed doing this consistently is my shortcut for internet explorer (IE). When this happens, it the IE shortcut is also removed from my start menu. I believe other icons have disappeared from my desktop as well, because every so often I notice an empty space on my desktop where an icon look like it used to be. It it hard to tell which ones however, because by the time I notice, they are already gon, of course.
My computer also seems slower than it should be at times
I know this all sounds like I have some sort of spyware or virus running on my system, but I have run numerous system scans with Ad-aware and Norton, and come up empty handed.
This is kind of worrying me, so if anyone knows what might be going on, please share the wisdom!
