    Is this a virus? [​IMG]


    The problem is the image in the top left corner of in this case google.maps.
    It occures in many places:

    • the login page of windows 10. But only when entering the password.
    • Chrome is not useable, due to this issue. Firefox has fewer issues.

    Is this a known issue? A virus? A problem with the graphics card?

    I am a software developer and like to think that I know a thing or two about computers, but I am absolutely puzzeled by this.

    If you need more information, I am happy to provide it.

    :)

  2. Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.
