Desktop modification is frozen
« on: January 12, 2006, 10:48:35 PM »
I was recently the recipient of a desktop-hijak virus. Besides installing spyware onto my computer and messing with my internet settings, the virus froze my desktop background to a message that said i was infected with spyware on a blue backdrop. The virus froze my desktop settings so i could not alter the image. I since have deleted the image and the virus (at least i think i did), but my desktop properties remain frozen. Is there anyone who knows how to get them unstuck?

     firetiger5000.......   Are you able to reboot into safe mode ?

    Run your anti virus progam from there and let us know what it finds .

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
