    Hello all,
    I'm running Windows XP Home on a Compaq Presario. 512 RAM, 160 GIG HD, 2.3 MHz processor. I'm not sure if I got hit by a virus or not. In my Add Remove programs screen I have an area that is quite long in the screen and goes from solid black to stripes of grey, green, black and white and back to solid black. I have run trend micro, AVG, ScanSpyware, Adaware, Spybot, CW Shedder, and a couple others. Does anyone have a clue what this is? I've never seen anything like it.

    Thanks In advance
    Kush

    I know the program Ringtone Ripper can cause that, do you have it installed?

    Thanks for the reply Steve.
    No. That's not on my machine. The only odd software I have is Any DVD. I has been stable so far but I'm wondering.

    Steve,
    is Ringtone Ripper spyware or something that could auto download from a site???? My step kid might have gotten into something.

    I don't think it is spyware, not that familiar with it. Has got to be some sort of program for ringtones for cell phones, I guess.

    Do a search for it on your hardrive.

    Also, is there a large gap of white space between the lines?

    I'm doing the search now. The large gap of white shrinks toward the middle of the entry and then goes back out as you go down.

    Nothing on the search. Could she have got started with a partial and stopped it in the middle. Doesn't seem like it but..............

    I think a search would have found something. It's just a guess, wait for some other responses / ideas.
