Problems with minimise function

Problems with minimise function

Didn't find your answer?

When I attempt to minimise a page (excel, word, anything!) the whole page just disappears without trace and cannot be restored in any shape or form.
Can anyone help, please?

A virus, probably
You have probably got the "Hide Minimized" trojan, part of the "Friend Greeting" scam.

It's not usually serious, don't worry. For more info and removal instructions see these links:

The latter illustrates why you really should glance at the license of new things you install!

Thanks Bob!
Your advice was spot-on; I've removed the virus and all is now working correctly.
Interestingly I ran my anti-virus software (AVG) before following your advice, and no virus was detected!
Maybe time to change to MacAfee?

Thanks again

Mark
