Something keeps changing my desktop background
Hi,
Can someone please help me? Today this something (sorry I have no technical savy) keeps changing my desktop background to some spyware warning. Even when I change it back to normal it changes it back to that same blue background with the warning. There is a link on it that goes to http://winsecurityupdates.com/?aid=444.568. I can't get rid of it. What ever it is has also disabled my task manager. HELP!!!!! Please!!!!!!! It is sooooo invasive, I hate it. |

Hello kimmey,
Its a type of spyware. Don't go to that link or download any of the file. I think it has changed the desktop color also. I'm giving you the best solution, Use Avast 4.8 Home edition Antivirus (Free). You have to register yourself for free license by sending mail to Avast. First Enter the Registration key, then Update its database, Disconnect from Internet & at last scan the whole computer for virus. After getting rid of the virus, I think you have to restore some of the registry key also. Hopefully you will get rid of it. Below is the link for Avast. http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-E...dlPid=10888427 |

Use my Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from your system.

I realize my post is several months past the time this question was originally posted, however I just ran into this problem myself on a Windows XP system. I found the culprit to be a program named Wallpapertoy.exe. I don't know how/where it was installed from, but when I killed the process my wallpaper stopped changing on me. In control panel/add remove programs I also found the application and removed it. Problem solved. Regards, Terry -- terryj |
