Whatever screen saver I use, once a day I receive a warning that it has performed an illegal operation. The computer is not turned off at night. The monitor goes into a power saving mode, so nothing is displayed. In the morning when the mouse is moved, the warning is displayed. Is there any way to correct this? Thank you.

Hey ktb!

Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.
