I think I have a strange one, it doens't seem to match the description of other famous viruses but it definitely seem to be some sort of virus.
The problem is, every time I open certain programs, they immediately shut down. This even includes ctrl-alt-delete as as soon as I press them, the window pops up for about half a second before disappearing, before I have the chance to click the processes tab, so I can't get rid of it.
It also seems to be really affecting the speed of my computer, games have been grinding through instead of whizzing through like they used to.
It also is incredibly annoying as it bypassed Norton anti-virus, (another program affected by the half-second-close) and other antivirus programs as well.
Any ideas?

I hunted through a lot of the files in the Windows folder, and found one that doesn't quite seem to match.
It's called IAmSad.exe.
It is also on the processes tab, though not on the programs tab. (I got to see the processes by a very fast Ctrl-Alt-Delete-ClickOnProcessesTab-MoveScrollBar_down. Took AGES to do!)
I tried to delete it but can't because the file is in use. Should I keep trying or am I on the wrong track?
