    Red light on screen
    « on: July 18, 2012, 09:16:52 AM »
    Last night a red light started to appear on my computer screen in random places. In the corner of the screen. On certain words. Down the middle of the screen. On a picture but when I scroll down it stays on the picture. When I go to a different tab when browsing the web its not there but is on another one. No real problems with the computer just this red light that freaks me out a bit. Tried restarting it, but didn't help.

    That's a new one on me. I'd start by running full scans with your AV and with MalwareBytes.

    Could the OP post a couple of screen shots?
