RULE ONE on the internet is DON'T EVER TRUST ANYTHING FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE! Try AdAware and Spybot S&D as a first resort. Get AdAware here www.lavasoftusa.com Spybot S&D here www.safer-networking.org They are both free, and both regarded as tops in their feild. Good luck dealing to the nasties. :) |

| 474118 | 2006-07-27 19:44:00 | your pc is definitely infected with a smitfraud variant..........download and run 'ewido' ..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 474119 | 2006-07-27 19:51:00 | Thank you guys so much ,but do you think it will solve my problem with desktop as i remove possible infections ? | nikoleta (10838) | ||
| 474120 | 2006-07-27 20:12:00 | Be sure to run all your anti-stuff in Safe Mode and turn off System Restore to keep it from reinfecting your system when you reboot. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 474121 | 2006-07-27 20:43:00 | Okye i've done it all,but i still cant enter backgrounds in desktop properties :( | nikoleta (10838) | ||
| 474122 | 2006-07-27 21:40:00 | You could right click on a picture of your choice and select, set as background. Then sally forth and be sure to rid your computer of the nasties. |
