i had this cool web search spyware somehow on my comp, and i tried removing it using webroot spyware, it always used 2 detect but could not clean. this used 2 alter my home page, search page and add favs. then i decided 2 remove the reg.. entries manually, and there i found some suspicious search link, and may b i was a bit oversmart and brazen then, i actually tried tht link!!!!. thts when this trojan came, although mcaffee cleaned it, still it had altered my wallpaper and had things like -" ur comp is not safe, alert, with an exclamation sign" itwas horrifying. i tried out evrything, finally i used the same active wallpaper(which had alink 2 remove the virus) and went 2 tht website, but there they wanted some 50$. (it was like throwing tacks on the road and setting a garage 100 feet ahaead!!!!) it was so frustrating.. then i rightclicked on the active wallpaper( which was an html file) and manually deleted it from the comp, and set a new wallpaper, then the screen started flickering every 2 sec,, may b the old hijacked wallpaper and the new 1 conflicted . then after many reboots and virus- adware scans, the flickering stopped and the system is stable. butthe wallpaper remains palin white and is an html file perhaps camouflaging the actual desktop underneath, but i can see the icons on it, but on right clickin i get the html menu--- view source, encoding, prin, refresh..., wat can i do???? to restore my old desktop, need help guys, i m seriously bugged
