Recently, I noticed that some of my programs seem to "flicker". I discovered that the flickering was actually these programs "not responding" for a very short amount of time and then returning to normal. This is accompanied by the icon for the program disappearing in the taskbar and then quickly reappearing.

Please note that this problem started after the removal of a virus. Because I couldn't fix this problem, I feared the virus did permanent damage to Windows. I tried all I could and even "Reset" my computer, but this problem still persists. How could this still be a problem even after reinstalling Windows?

I am completely bewildered by this problem. If you have anything I could try please let me know.
