I tried installing a cracked version of fraps on my computer and it turned out to be a very bad virus. all my windows are blinking very fast, the virus is like deselecting every window i open(it's even hard to type, it like deselects) my mouse pointer is always in the busy state, and i don't know how to get rid of it. I'm running AVG anti-virus right now but it might be out of date and it won't let me update, because it keeps deselecting during the update process. Can some one please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so try Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware it works well and finds stuff/gets rid of stuff that avg didnt
