    That's definitely Lenin, and he's not blackish; he's Bolshevik (hence 1917). I can't read Russian, but I guess the words are a slogan like, "Peace, Bread, Land".

    My guess is that somebody's pranking you. Do you live on or near a college campus? I've never seen a virus with a communist agenda.

    If this does turn out to be a virus, don't fuck around with it; just reformat. A reformat isn't hard, and it'll only take you a few hours to get back up and running.

    Yeah... I will probably have to reformat. It's definitely not a prank. Only two things I can think of are virus or remote access. The song was under the my application data/temp so it must be coming from the net.

    malwarebytes.org

    install, update, and run a full scan... see if it finds anything. I see your norton 360 did jack shit to stop this ! Just like the backdoor.bot I removed from somebodies computer earlier w\ malwarebytes because symantec sucks and did not stop it from being on their computer.
