Desktop Background Will. Not. Go. Away.

Unread postby BlackGoku03 » March 27th, 2008, 9:35 pm

I offered to fix somebody's computer thinking she had a few bad programs on it. Nothing I couldn't handle... turns out it's pretty bad. There's a Blue background saying the words "Warning! Spyware has been detected on your computer!" in a yellow box and under it says, "Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer." in a box that has the same color blue as the background.

Also, I wasn't able to get to sites like MSN.com until after I scanned it with a few programs. I do notice that it likes to redirect me to other sites when I try to click on links.

Oh, and before, Pop-ups from the system tray would say stuff like "someone is hacking your computer, click here to scan your computer. After I scanned it with Ad-aware, Smitrem.exe, smitfraudfix, avg antivirus 8.0, and norton, it stopped. Now, no matter what desktop background I change it to, it changes back to the blue one.

It's really pissing me off.

I fixed it. I went into Safe-mode and ran Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. If anyone has this problem, download it and put your PC into safe mode and scan it. Should do the trick.
