Help Please, Spyware/Adware issue.
« on: May 14, 2008, 05:09:41 PM »
Well, I believe it has to do with both adware and spyware.

It started last night, midnight my time. My entire desktop, once having an ironman background, suddenly had something different.

Instead of my original background it now has ads attached to it so there's no way to exit them out. Also, it won't let me change the background back to how it was. I even went to change it and it won't let me click on any of the offered wallpapers in the system.

I performed a scan and had found that I had quite a bit of spyware and such on my computer. I quarantined and removed them.

This was done in safe mode. I went back to the normal mode ((Restarted the computer as I was advised by my program))

It's still there and I still am unable to change my wallpaper.

Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this issue? It would be muchly appreciated.
