Those white lines and green "blocks" aren't looking like a virus to me; that sounds like a massive red flag for failing VRAM on your GPU. Is everything else running okay otherwise? Like, is your laptop overheating or something?
Neither of those cards is exactly a beast for modern gaming, but old-school Counter-Strike should run smooth as butter on both, hmmm.
I think you totally missed my point here...
My new laptop is practically fresh out of the box—picked it up back in January. I was crushing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on max settings with zero lag, no stuttering at all.
I even played Battlefield 3 at max resolution and it was smooth sailing.
Then, some buddy of mine talked me into playing Counter-Strike because apparently, they wanted to jump into the multiplayer action.
The problem was, he brought along this wallhack that was absolutely riddled with junk. AVG and Malwarebytes didn't catch a single thing until I finally spotted a file named vldrv. Once I nuked that, AVG finally woke up and started screaming about viruses, Trojans, and all that bad stuff.
I wiped the game entirely, but I'm pretty sure the viruses are still lurking in the system.
Ever since I touched Counter-Strike, my whole machine has been lagging like crazy. My CPU usage is spiking up to 50% for no reason, mostly thanks to csns.exe and swchost.exe (you can see them in the screenshots).
I even tried booting into Safe Mode to hunt down those infected files, but when I try to delete them, I just get hit with an "access denied" error.
