can't view the windows firewall

[Monoxide]

here's something more useful..... it all happened when I was browsing astakiller, and bam! my computer started fighting against trojans and stuff and after "cleaning my computer of malicious threaths" my wallpaper won't change and i cant seem to have access to the desktop.

and finally I cant access the firewall and appear a message saying:

look here and tell me whatyou think is best for me.

And now you know why I hate Windows XP SP2(XP=great, SP2=MORONIC!!!), Microsoft, etc...; sorry but, but the only suggestion I have for you is to re-format Windows... But you can still get the data you need off the drive from one of your helpful neighbors

Can you get in to any of your restore points, if you can it might be an option

google rocks. I managed to fix everything. check it out.
I used this forum to help me access the firewall
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sharedaccess.htm
AND
for the wallpaper problem I
went to registry (regedit) did a normal search for desktop.html
and found 4 instances of it..I deleted all the value that had desktop.html in them... rebooted... and then I got my desktop back.

You need a better antivirus! I went there and mine caught it right away, it blocked trojan.byteverify and after that is installed it will add other stuff like change start page, desktop ect ect...!
