Hello everybody,

Weird things seem to be occuring on my computer. The icons of my psd file, which normally show a tiny thumbnail of what is inside the psd file, sometimes decide to change icons and display something completely differnet, such as the icon of any one of numerous programs on my computer. I find that I generally notice this change after I have used the program - example I used Dreamweaver on my computer and later noticed my psd file had Dreamweaver's icon.

See attached screenshot.

I'm pretty sure the png icon came up because I was viewing some png images about 5 mintues ago...although not too sure about the second one...

I've tried refreshing the desktop (if the icons are on there) as well as refreshing the folder if they are in one. Also, when I right click and go to properties of the psd file, I see the proper thumbnail (of what's in the psd file), so I've tried changing and then putting back the default program to open the file etc, but no luck.

Any ideas on what's causing this problem?

Thanks,

Tirus

There was a virus that used to change your icons and lock files, check your PC other than that sorry unsure.

thanks for the replies.

running a scan now, will see what comes up.

if it is a virus, then im quite fortunate that all it is doing is changing the icons and not locking the psd files (i can still access/work with them).

Will let you know what turns up after the scan.

edit: i did a scan with AVG Virus Scan, as well as for Adware with AdAware SE Personal and found nothing. The icons are still different...can anyone recommend other programs to scan with?
