Yes, I was having fun at your expense last night. Then I came across this

White Screen virus aka white screen of death has become a notorious malware on Computers, laptops and even on the smart phone devices. When talking about PCs and laptops, White Screen virus is caused by Trojans and rogue virus infections. These viruses will replace you desktop with a white blank sheet so you wont be able to access any link on your desktop. All you will be seeing is a White Screen with nothing to be clicked. It is kind of a computer lock to block the user from accessing his PC and thus acquire the user to pay some ransom to get access of the machine. Don`t panic if a White Screen of death is appearing. But remember, it is completely different from the Blue screen of death problem. White Screen virus can be caused by infections like FBI MoneyPak virus or another Trojan infection. In most cases, when the user Logs on to windows, a white page appears that covers the full screen. Or when shutting the pc down, a white screen comes up and then FBI moneypak virus may pop-up asking you to pay a fine of some dollars to get rid of white screen that has locked your computer. The malware can infect any version of windows OS, white screen virus on windows-7 or windows xp, windows vista and even the windows 8 has also been hit by white screen virus. Anyhow, to get rid of White Screen virus, you have to run the computer into safe mode. And then scan your computer with a powerful anti-malware program to detect the infection which has vanish your desktop.

I guess a white screen really isn't something to joke about. Sorry 'bout that, mate. You can search for more on that symptom if it persists. It's usually associated with 'ransom' malware, but that statement comes after browsing a dozen search returns...
