I am seeing a barcode on my computer monitor, is this a virus?

I am seeing a barcode on my computer monitor, is this a virus?
It is just in certain areas when I move my mouse. I have determined that it is not my monitor. Is this a software issue? I use Windows XP. I hope its not a virus!

Best answer:

I don’t know of any virus’ that do that.

    weird, but a virus scan and spyware scan wouldn’t hurt

    this maybe a problem with your graphix driver

    try turning down your hardware accerator

    right click any where on the desktop > click properties > settings > advanced > trouble shoot

    slide the bar down – see if this works

    also have you got you screen resolution to high try reducing it

    if this doesn’t work try uninstalling your graphix card

    right click on my computer > properties > hardware tab > device manager >

    click on the plus next to display – this should display your graphix card – right click on it – then uninstall

    when do restart your pc – when the pc restarts it will recognise new hardware and load the generic drivers for you graphix card

    if none of the above work try installing the lastest drivers for you graphix card from the web

    hope this helps

    Sounds like you may have an internal spyware on your computer. This can happen when you download certain programs like kazaa, etc. If you have the yahoo toolbar, run the spyware remover and get rid of them all. If you don’t have the toolbar, click on the link to download. This will get rid of that problem!
