What is this bleeding/images?

So, within the last week or two I've had what I can only describe as "bleeding" going on on my computer. I will try to attach a pic to show you. Anyway, it seems to be emotes that are showing. Like the kind you can use on FB. But yeah, it will suddenly out of nowhere appear over photos, videos, my desktop, the top and bottom bars of Firefox, etc. It usually goes away with a refresh. That's if it's bleeding on Firefox. But it it bleeds on my desktop I usually need to restart my comp in order to get it to go away. And it does. Anyway idea what this could be?

I have Windows 7 Home Premium

HP Pavilion dv6815nr Entertainment Notebook PC (if you wanna look up the specs)

I have about 70% of space still available. Haven't downloaded anything in years, and the updates are up to date. Use an antivirus software, and also check for spam and junk like that regularly. I'm at a loss. Would love to hear some suggestions.

    I must be doing something wrong. I put in the search like you said, and am getting nothing. I took out the spaces and also tried it with the spaces and nothing seems to be happening. So I searched for the "sfcdetails.txt" file and found it but it's blank.

    Is that what you really need or do you need to see the cbs.log? I know where that it. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. TY!

    NOTE: I have since figured it out. PLEASE SEE BELOW!

    Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click Command Prompt, and click Run as administratorfrom the drop down menu. Type **findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"**and press the ENTER key.

    Please note there are three spaces in the command: Between findstr and /c, Between [SR]" and**%windir**Between CBS.log and >"%userprofile

    Please upload a copy of your sfcdetails.txt file to your OneDrive as a shared file and post a link here. Enter sfcdetails.txt in the Search box above the Start button and press the ENTER key to locate the file created.

    Note The Sfcdetails.txt file contains details from every time that the System File Checker tool has been run on the computer. The file includes information about files that were not repaired by the System File Checker tool. Verify the date and time entries to determine the problem files that were found the last time that you ran the System File Checker tool.

    It may well be a conflict somewhere. Publishing the log may provide a clue so keep that in mind....Good luck - R.

    Yeah I'll get around to that scan....eventually. Right now I've been coming across some posts on the Internet that are similar to mine. People posting pics of the same sort of bleed through. Seems like it could be a Flashplayer issue or maybe a graphics driver issue. I know all my drivers are up to date and double checked again just to be sure. But I may have to possibly go back to an older driver version if this keeps happening. One that worked before this started happening. Maybe with a recent Firefox and/or Windows update the driver and/or Firefox are now clashing? Who knows. But I also un-installed the Flashplayer and installed the most recent so I'm waiting to see if that helps any before doing anything else.

    Good detective work! I'd follow Gerry's guidance and post that scan result up to One Drive. Gerry is A1* at interpreting these things. - Ric.

    Ok, two things.........yes, very early in the am I did create another user account and then logged on as that user. I was looking around and doing normal things on there with no issue. All seemed fine. Then, I opened the copy of Firefox that was already there and immediately I started getting this flashing box type thing that was going on across my screen! It gave me the impression that the monitor was gonna go. I freaked out a little and logged off then logged back into my normal user account. However I did NOT log onto Firefox and instead did some work on the computer for the last 4 hours. I worked in WordPad, Note.....edited a ton of pics I had sitting around that needed to be worked on, etc. And NOT ONCE did I get any sort of funky image thing going on.

    So then I decide to bring Firefox up to get on here to tell you guys about what happened on the other account. I also logged on to FB. And, can you guess what happened? Yup! It did it again! Now I REALLY think it's Firefox/FB somehow related.

    Also, yesterday when I opened Firefox it said something about needing to "Refresh" it. I guess it pretty much cleared a lot of junk out but saved my favorites and stuff like that. Not sure if this all matters but figured I'd toss it out there anyway.
