Need a little help here. Basically my computer got infected with some Spyware after one of those nasty script prompt scripts downloaded them straight onto my computer. I've run Norton, MS Anti-Spyware, AVG, Ad-Aware... Suffice to say the Spyware is gone, or should be. But what I still have is this: http://img319.imageshack.us/img319/8830/spyware2hb.jpg That desktop image will not go away... at all. Anybody know how to get rid of it? And ferchristsake don't tell me to set something as the wallpaper cause that's the first thing I tried. I apprechiate any help you can give.
That was pretty much the first thing I tried. What I get is this:- http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/7435/desktop7hh.jpg The box is locked and it wont let me change the desktop background. Although what I have managed to do now is track down the file that gave me the first background:- http://img319.imageshack.us/img319/8830/spyware2hb.jpg So what i'm left with now is a plain coloured background. Which I can live with, only if I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, my desktop image is there. The original one before the Spyware warning. So it seems as if what's happening is that the desktop is layering over the top of the actual desktop image. What i'm thinking is that some script edited an system file somewhere and stuck something in. I have checked every boot file and they're clean. So it seems pretty unlikely i'm gonna be able to track this down cause none of my spyware or virus programs are detecting anything.
As i said, that's the first thing I tried. What happens is that the picture becomes the desktop image, but is not visible on the desktop because something else is being put over the top of it thanks to this script. The only time I can view the image I set is when I log on or off or hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Just don't worry about it I can live with it like this. Thanks anyway.
