I cant change my desktop wallpaper

(i reposted this thread under software cause i think this is the wrong place to post it. How do i delete this thread from this section? sry about that) =/

hey

My compuer was recently infected by spysherif however i followed some removal instructions and i think i managed to get rid of some of it.

First i did a full anti-virus system scan using SymantecAntivirus and then i used Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D and Ewido anti-malware. After i thought i got rid of it, there was a red circle with a white x in it that kept appearing in my taskbar beside the clock and a message above it saying "your computer is infect!....please download the latest anti-spyware....". Also my desktop background has been changed. It is now all blue with a black box in the middle and red text saying "Spyware Infection" and under this red writing theres more writing in white text that says "Your system is infected with spyware. Windows recomends you to use spyware removal tools..."

I restarted my computer in safe mode and ran all the programs again and deleted any infections.

I restarted my computer in normal mode and the red circle with the white x and "your computer is infect!" message above it have now gone. However the "Spyware Infection" desktop background is still there and when i try to change it under the desktop tab in display properties, the wallpaper section is disabled. I cant scroll down or select any wallpaper.

Also when i try to open a webpage its taking alot longer then usual, so i think i still have some sort of spyware/adware or something on it still. :cry:

I also have hijack this in which i saved a logfile but i dont know what to do with it. =/

I very much appreciate any help or advice on this problem

thanks

please help

If hijackthis doesn't do it, I suggest you restart in safe mode again and rerun everything you already ran as well as ms antispyware and spybot (both free).

You only need to post this in one section. Software Discussion and Assistance is the right section.
