Define programs. Firefox, MS Paint?

Is that bridge made of wood?! =p

Looks like its a DirectX problem to me.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Update your video drivers. I had a type of problem like this, TSE told me to update and I never had a problem after doing so.

Fixed by updating Video Drivers and DirectX to newest.

Try downgrading if you just patched recently?
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

It could be one of the following:

 -- OS / low-level software corruption (probably requires OS repair/reinstall)
 -- Bad hardware (video card, obviously).

I really doubt it's hardware as it appears on the screenshot too, but I suppose it could be.  If it persists, I'd recommend repairing the OS.

Try e-mailing nVIDIA/ATI or whoever the hell made your video card.

Are screenshots in WoW hardware or software rendered?  Towelie, try installing FRAPS and taking a few screenshots with it. Try taking screenshots in other games too to see if the same things appear.

as I said, it happens in any game, and in regular programs too.

I believe that they are hardware rendered.  If he's having issues such as that, something is wrong with the driver (i.e.: he downloaded the improper one by accident).
Towelie, what're the specs of your computer? What version of Windows are you using?

Not necessarily.  It could be a defective piece of hardware as well.

Every driver I've ever installed won't let you install it if you don't have the device it is intended for in your computer.
