A virus that generates random black dots? – Examiner.com
As a computer repair technician of having the dubious title of "virus removal expert;" tackling computer viruses has almost become a full time job.
I have identified a new virus in the registry. This gobbly gook of data causes your video card to generate small and random black dots on your monitor. These randomly generated pixels will over the course of several hours make your monitor unreadable. Your monitor is not bad even though it appears to be failing. Your processor continues to generate cycles. CPU usage runs at a constant five percent.
The registry string on my computer was as follows: bxY+lQ*zj@L%13RW0I!TSearchSettingBHO>1y*,x’a1u@48F%Qy]L`9.
Fortunately, it can be removed. And it should be removed quickly. It constantly chews cycles from your processor and for those who still prefer the large CRT monitors it can generate excessive heat.
Do not remove it from the registry.
After following the above steps [baring an unforseens] than you should be back in business.
