Hi there, I'm visiting the in-laws and they asked me to take a look at their computer since it was acting up. I don't think that it's a virus-related but strange things are indeed going on. I cannot defrag the system, it freezes. I cannot run REG fixing softwares because it freezes. It will rarely shut-down properly. When I right-click with the mouse (usually a little menu pops up or whatever) I see the little menu for a second but it will not let me click on anything because it disappears before anything can be done. I'm at a loss here…any help would be appreciated.
