Possibly the virus changed the desktop picture, which stays even after the virus itself has been removed.
Close all windows Rightclick on your desktop and select Properties->Desktop and change into another image. -------------------- My bands homepage

And for future precautions of things like this happening again you may want to uninstall limewire

Yeah spybot search and destroy works great..But in some cases formatting drive and installing OS again only helps... ;(

QUOTE (SinoMan @ Jul 5 2008, 11:16 AM)  That's BS, who/what detected the spyware? Seems like a prank to me... Just install AVG non-commercial edition and change your wallpaper  +1 looks to me like you've picked up some malware from somewhere on the internet. Try installing and running the diagnostic program 'hijack this'. That will give you a full log report on processes etc running on your computer from which it's possible to then work out what the malware/spyware/trojans/viruses etc are that are on the pc. You can then focus on getting rid of them. After you're clean as others have said use avg free (now at v8) and spybot to keep the pc clean  .Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
