    WTF, in my PC CS slowly everytime I open the colour window thing it drifts up towards the top of the screen till I can't get it down like in the pic.

    WTF am I supposed to do, I tried changing the res of my screen and restarting PS but to no avail.

    I think you have a virus as you were having issues earlier. run some scans.

    Yeah, I removed all spyware and adaware, but if I do get rid of the virus how am I supposed to get it back down?

    formatting is always fun :)

    I do it once a month just to be sure that I dont get anything on my computer.

    He was referring to my comment about me formatting my hard drive on a monthly basis. The term 'image' he used means backup a few files that i know ill need and when im done reformatting, just install that all over rather than starting from scratch.

    Ok scanned with Norton AV 2005, deleted 7.2k files and problem still there.

    Everytime I open the window and close it and open it again it has moved 1 pixel up.

    Reinstall?

    if you had over 7000 articles, there is a high probability you had more and they were hidden away. Dude, lay offf the porn a bit. if your that badly infected, it is time for a complete reformat.

    throw the computer out the window <_<

    no, really tho...

    backup everything you do not want to lose. I suggest writing it onto a cd.

    after that, but in your XP disk and press a key when it says "press a key to boot from cd" then you'll see a blue screen with Windows on it and a bunch of other crap, wait until it gets done loading.

    do I have to run you through the setup? Pretty straight forward. just delete your partition, and redo it. then you'll have a clean slate..

    But if I don't backup/save/whatever anything and then reformat will everything on my hard drive be gone?

    I found out the only way to fix it is to reinstall PS. Should be under control now as I will always keep it down.

    yes reformating removes all programs. if you have 7200 files with viruses in them me thinks too much porn aswell lol. REFORMAT YOUR PC cause there is bound to be more if you found 7200. lol.

    But I have 70 GB of programs, files and pics, WTF I am not backing all that up AND THERE IS NO PORN!

    Well, the problem is pretty much fixed, all I have to do is not let it drift up, and if for some reason it does, I just reinstall PS...
