Hi. I'm running a Viewsonic with xp operating system. It is set to turn off at particular times if it is not in use. It did this this afternoon, and a while later I turned it back on. Except it didn't. The screen remained black and displayed a small image which looked like a face, in as much as it was square, and contained two dots for eyes and two horizontal bars for a mouth. I have attached a photo. Beside the square was a single pulsing bar, a few pixels across - ie like a cursor in DOS. When any key was hit the suare would go to the top of the screen and then reappear at the bottom left. I re-booted, (by turning it off by the power switch) and it did the same thing. I did it again, it did the same thing. I turned it off, and using another computer found your forum. I think it is/was a virus because of the idea that the square is a face. However, in oder to write this, I wanted to make sure I got the sequence correct, I turned on the computer, and it booted normally. I'm currently doing a full scan to see if that picks up anything. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening/have happened? I would be very grateful for any response.:confused:
