Comment 118 for bug 1321623

Matt: I have older Nvidia card (8600 GTS, I think) and have changed
drivers several times--upgrade and downgrade. It could be your driver if
not malware. I have had malware issues for about 3 years--used to be a lot
worse until I installed Comodo. These problems are hard to resolve, as you
know. Good Luck and Merry Christmas...K.
