Try creating another profile on that PC and login with that username. Does
it do the same thing?

Ok, I will try to explain the situation as much as I can.

Computer with windows xp sp2 all windows update package installed.

symtoms:

1. I cannot click on the first 50 x 50 pixels of the screen directly with
the mouse, so I cannot click the icon there or any application that have a
button on that place, but with the keyboard it works without troubles.
also
if I am using a multiple selection with the mouse, then I can select items
on
that area (square selection)
It seems not to be an image, since it react "normally" to keyboard
commands.

2. always when I restart the computer, the Windows update service is
disabled.

3. It open 2 pop ups when the computer is not in use (just after 2/3
hours,
every 2/3 hours when the computer is not in use only.

4. I already try with the trials and online check of antivirus with
norton,
mcafee, adware, Panda, and none of them detect anything.

5. the only unknown service running is a service called "Window Net Dns"
not any other service or application acording to msconfig.

6. When I am playing a video with windows media player or media player
clasic, all words on the screen from windows explorer becomes transparent.
(names of icons and so on)

This computer does not have any aplication installed on 2008 acording to
the
add/remove programs (just windows updates) and it is running like that
since
3 weeks ago.

Please let me know what is happening. I assume it should be a spyware or a
worm, however no spyware or antivirus software detect it.

If somebody need more info, please let me know.
