| 700762 | 2008-08-26 23:29:00 | but the spyware desktop is still there and i still cant change it. If this does not work we will need to go into the registry to fix it. Go to start -> control panel -> Display properties -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop... -> Web tab, then uncheck and delete everything you find in there (except for "My current home page"), Also remove the checkmark from the the Lock Desktop Items box if it is checked. Apply. Apply and Exit Display properties. |

You may also find you need to run several cleaners to remove this - malwarebytes is good, but you sometimes need more than 1 cleaner. After running Malwarebytes, run Spybot S&D. Just took a PC back that had the Winantivirus - took 4 cleaners to remove as well as the had to manually remove several entries in the Reg. |

| 700764 | 2008-08-27 00:31:00 | Go into C:\windows\system32 and arrange the items by date, last changed at the top, you'll see the desktop background, and probably a screen saver aswell. You can double check the names against the ones in the desktop background settings, and then delete the file(s). Don't delete anything you're not sure about. |

| 700765 | 2008-08-27 00:56:00 | Exactly the same virus hit me last night. I'm trying to fix now. An AVG Scan found trojan horse and has "fixed" it but it is still blocking updates for AVG and is blocking internet access to most of the suggested antivirus websites. I'm trying to follow the advice posted here. Thanks. | stinker (14127) | ||
