What Anti-Virus product are you using ? You should double-check the
system's health with a couple of on-line scans:

On our desktop computer using Windows Xp Home Edition the desktop will
change
from windows xp style to windows classic by itself! It is getting very
annoying, we don't like the classic style and would prefer having the xp
style! When we try to change it back it wont give us an option to switch
to
XP style it just lists classic and thats it! Sometimes you can restart it
and
it will list the option but 5 minutes later it switches again on its own!
Do
you think we might have a virus or someone hacking into our system? Also
last
night we shut the computer down and when we turned it on today it said we
didn't have an audio device! We do have one and it just randomly
disappeared!
We tried using the audio driver cd the computer came with but that didn't
help! We restarted it twice and then it worked again. I dont know a lot
about
computers but my guess would be that we might have a virus of some sort.
We
hardly ever go to websites and when we do its worldofwarcraft.com and
thats
it! We play WoW a lot and thats all we do on the computer so I dont
understand how we could have gotten a virus! Any input on our situation
would
be greatly appreciated!
