Ok, my computer is dying, so far as I know. It has the Trojan virus, and it exits Halo PC to the desktop every 10-20 minutes.

It does not close Halo when it exits, it just minimizes it. Does anyone know what causes this? It's hard to make a flag capture from the desktop.

Now, as for the virus, no utilities I used have completely eliminated it. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help you may give me.

Do you have any background programs that might be affecting it? Did you assign a certain mouse button with a function similar to Alt+Tab? Could it be that you assigned the Alt button for let us say crouch, but you kept Tab as default, so minutes into the game, you crouch and switch weapons and Halo minimizes?

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

If you have them, rip out the Windows shortcut keys on the keyboard. Dumbest thing ever made. Also, if you have viruses, one good program I use and reccomend to you is Spy Sweeper. It works well, but I would also tell you to have your pre-programmed virus protection up(if your PC came with it) and have the firewall up.
Oh, and -blam!- sites are chock full of spyware, so make sure your at max protection when on them.
Plus, Halo PC crashes a lot when Im online, I still can't figure out why this is happening.

I had this problem too, set your computers screen resolution to the resolution Halo is set to, and start Halo. This may not stop your minimisung problem, but it will let Halo come back up after it has been minimised.
