Three days ago while I'm surfing the internet, I got shocked when all of the Texts from my Facebook account turned into color blue. I did not edit the color settings, I did not do anything at all, it just turned like that. And also I noticed that some of my files turned into color blue, for example the icon color of My Documents is just normal but the Text "My Documents" turned into color blue for good.
I can't explain why this happens because this is the first time I've seen it.
Is it with the color settings?,
I guess not because the other Texts still remains color black. Or is it a virus related problem?
What should I do to solve this problem? Do I need to run a full scan of my anti-virus software?
I hope it won't affect my other important files.

Problem having blue texts in my files
This happens for no reason so please you should never get worried anymore. This has nothing to do with the viruses or whatever. This thing usually happens for 3 reasons: (1) the desktop items are locked (2) the background was set as a web page and (3) the drop shadow setting was enabled.
For these 3 possible causes, here are the solutions:
1. Â The desktop items are locked.
Right click on your windows desktop. Then in the context menu, click Arrange Icons By then uncheck Lock Web Items on Desktop. After that, click OK.
2. The background was set as a web page.
Right click on your Windows Desktop. In the context menu, click Properties. Display Properties should appear. Click the Desktop tab. Now click the Customize Desktop button. The Desktop Items properties page should appear. Click the Web tab. In the top pane where it says ‘My Current Home Page’, delete all entries from that pane except ‘My Current Home Page’. Uncheck My Current Home Page. Click OK and OK again.
3. The drop shadow setting was enabled.
Right click on the ‘My Computer’ icon. In the context menu, click Properties. Click Advanced tab Settings (In the Performance section). Look down the list and clear the Drop Shadows option. Click OK.
