I just had this issue on my home PC. It's a 2010 Dell and I'm still using Vista. What just happened was I noticed the minimized folders stated blinking in the taskbar.
So I clicked it to bring up one of them and it was rapidly going back and forth between the parent folder and the open folder. I clicked the other blinking folder and it was rapidly going back to the parent folder, going forward, then back again. Then everything stopped and went back to normal. I have no idea what just happened.
The only other issue I have is that folders no longer keep their settings, i.e. when I leaved then in thumbnail view, they go back to details view.
Does anyone have an idea what happened? Is it a hack?
Try to get it, update it (as much as possible). Completely ninstall all other antiviruses (you can't run more than one at once), and then do a total scan. See if anything comes up.

I have the Free 2015 AVG. I autoscan once a week. I also have registry cleaner which I last used in January. I will try the Microsoft Security Essential. Thank you for your response, NoPeanutz. I appreciate it.
Thank you SwirlingEddie for the link. It was starting to drive me crazy.
