First off, this has nothing to do with us. Second, try double clicking the window itself or the F keys.

Right, forgot that one. I recommend (Arch) Linux.

First off guys, this is the kind of stuff that starts a massive flame war of the fanboys. IMHO Windows XP is good, but I recommend you wait for Windows 7 to come out before upgrading to Vista. Windows 7 is supposed to be based on aspects of the UNIX kernel rather than NT. Which was the hidden agenda Microsoft had in the Microsoft-Novell deal. Also, only get Linux if you truly want it. It can be buggy at times and you'll have KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and Fluxbox fanboys jumping at you to try to get you to their side. If you want a good starter distribution I would recommend >>> Ubuntu Linux <<<. I use >>> OpenSuSE <<<. It is probably the best transitioning OS from an APT based distribution to a RPM based distribution.

Ubuntu can be installed alongside windows, but I wouldn't recommend installing Linux in general unless you know how to partition a HDD and know how to properly install Ubuntu alongside windows without eating up data.
Lazy bum.

Do you really have to start another what-is-the-best-operating-system discussion just because someone is seeking help with a windows-related problem?

Habari:
It is possible that you got some trojan on your machine. It looks like you are using AVGuard but a lot of trojans nowadays know how to disable common virus scanners. You should scan your system with an anti virus program while it is not running (run a virus scanner from a bootable cd/dvd or install the hard drive in a different PC when you have access to one). Such a "cold scan" is the best way to detect malware which uses rootkit techniques to conseal itself.

Its actually quite normal. Its a feature of the task manager. I just remembered that it should be Ctrl+M to get the rest of the window back.
