Nothing's gone wrong with my computer at all since I got it in October, which I was happy about.
But now...
Well since yesterday, a black box has been appearing, like a DOS screen. I saw it when I started up my computer, but my mum saw it at another time.
It has a cursor symbol like this: _ which flickers about all over the box. If I use the cross to close it, it says "End Now" or "Cancel". So when I choose "end now" it closes, but when I did this today it opened itself again later on.
The filename is msbb.exe and it is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\Paula\Local Settings\Temp
I don't know what it is or how it got there. Should I just delete the file? I've ran a virus checker and that didn't pick up anything as being wrong.
Another strange thing that happened around the same time as this started happening, is that while I was on the net, my computer disconnected from it's normal ISP, and dialled up to something else, when I looked at the connection thing it said something like "Connected to DIDI". So I don't know if these two things are related or not.
I've attached a screenshot of what the window looks like, hope someone can help. >_<
