Hi,
First off, thank you in advance for any help/suggestions you may have.
Earlier tonight, after running a Virus Scan on my PC with Symantec AntiVirus, it came up with one trojan and a piece of spyware or two and after the scan, auto deleted them. For a While my PC worked fine, but about 2 hours later, after I did a disc cleanup as my PC was also down to under 1.5 GB of space, my PC started to lag really bad to the point it was just before a full freeze, so I closed out of what I could to try and stop it before it froze, to no avail.
After I restarted my PC, it seemed to load up fine, until all the basic applications and Icons on the main screen loaded (Running Windows XP) then within about 10 seconds of the finished icon images loading, the screen appeared to artifact or such and freeze, where Keyboard and mouse ceased to work.
I already tried safe mode and seem able to get in via that route fine (It was my desktop image that seemed to cause the artifacting), but have no clue what to do from safe mode to attempt to fix, other then to back up what files I can etc.
If I can get my mom's PC to load any time soonish, I'll have a crappy Digital camera picture or two of what my desktop looks like after it happens for a betterish idea of what I mean about the screen.
Edit: Also, if you need more details, let me know and I'll do my best to provide them.
