CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP WITH THIS COMPUTER PROBLEM
Does anyone have any idea what this symbol is on my desktop? Mushroom cloud in picture.
I have had this machine back at the shop like 3 times thinking it's a time bomb virus. They have put in a brand new hard drive twice with fresh install of windows, updated bios etc!
On each occasion it's came back it's been like a brand new machine yet this symbol seems always to appear after about a week and then machine goes sluggish again till a point where it's taking longer than Scott's computer to boot up, where mine is the new intel i7 processor Asus G20 gamers machine and Scott's is a basic Acer i3 processor machine mine should take seconds
Its this atomic mushroom cloud that im worried about it appears after a week of a fresh install of windows when you restart windows or turn it on and only lasts approx 5 seconds. When you click it it disappears and opens the pc page
Got me properly baffled cos am thinking it can't be a virus now must be something installing on the machine that i don't know about maybe? But i cannot find it!
Clearly you cannot upload pictures on this forum?
