    All of a sudden after I logon, every 15 or 30 seconds or so it goes back to the logon menu! Just typing this its happened twice. Is there a way to disable this menu and just go straight to my desktop? I'm sure I don't have a virus.

    Help for this would be much appreciated!

    Does it happen in Safe Mode?

    Are you running an Anti-Virus? If so, try and do a full scan of the computer.

    Also if it just started happening, maybe a System Restore will work?

    Do you have a password set? If so, that is what causes the logon menu to appear on boot up. Remove the password and your pc will boot straight to desktop.

    As far as what is causing it to continuously go back to that menu, sounds like a virus to me.
