I am running windows 7 on an asus all in one PC. I cannot do anything that involves drop down menus. Every time a drop down menu comes up it quickly goes so I don't have time to click on stuff. Pages flicker and when I try to type in a 2nd window the cursor disappears and deletes what i've typed. It not just on internet pages it within windows aswell. When I open processes I get *32 next to some of them, and had 2 chrome pages open but it's showing about 6, some with *32 next to them. I am in safe mode at the moment and it works fine.

You probably picked up a virus.....

hopefully you have system restore enabled....if so, get into it and select a restore point that you know everything works under and restore to it.

either way, PC Pitstop is an excellent site that you can use to scan your computer's health status

Reformat is last resort. I have had numerous PC's infected and brought back to health without having to reformat, so this isn't the only way to "truly clean your pc".
