Hi Rick,
Christy from HackFix reminded me that Magistr virus will cause that type of
activity.

Some "Joke" programs will also do that.

It could be "Crazy Icons"

My niece just called me and told me that when
ever she tries to click on one of her icons on her desktop,
the icons move away from the mouse so she
can't click on it. When the icons are all packed
into a corner of her desktop, and she moves her mouse there
to click on one, they all move away from the mouse.
Has anyone heard of this maybe being a virus, trojan, or a
worm???? Or, does anyone have any idea what would
make her icons do this, and what file, or program, I can
tell her to delete so it won't happen again????
Thanks in advance for everyone's help with this.
Rick
