well, background is blue, the text frame is black, the title "windows error" is red and the text is white.
about editing the registry i hate to do that but... seems we don't have much choice, do we? ;) at the same time, could you remember me how to back it up before crashing it down :D

anyway, thx muchly both of you guys for giving it so much time

sizk first this:

Click MyComputer,Tools menu, Folder options, view tab, make SURE to put a check so you can see all hidden files and folder, and UNCHECK hide operating system files and also file extensions.

Then tell me if you can see any of the following files:

C:\wp.exe
C:\wp.bmp
C:\bsw.exe
C:\Windows\sites.ini
C:\Windows\popuper.exe
C:\Windows\System32\hhk.dll
C:\Windows\System32\wldr.dll
C:\Windows\System32\helper.exe
C:\Windows\System32\intmon.exe
C:\Windows\System32\shnlog.exe
C:\Windows\System32\intmonp.exe
C:\Windows\System32\msmsgs.exe
C:\Windows\system32\msole32.exe
C:\Windows\System32\ole32vbs.exe

hey, good morning! :)
no i can't see any of them. the only one that's close match is a file named help.exe in system32...
 

Byteman

Malware Destroyer
sorry it took so long, you case is puzzzling, the only reference i find for you case indicates a smitfraud trojan/hijack, but you have none of the files or programs accosiated with it. However, there are some registry keys that most of the desktop hijackers use, so along those lines look at the registry values below and verify that they are correct, if not then change them according to the instructions.

Oh, and to backup the registry before you do this... click here for backup instructions

EDIT: your help.exe file is a valid file, it's for your help & support in control panel. ;)

Now for the reg changes:

1. Click Start > Run > type in regedit

Navigate to and modify the registry entries below:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Common Desktop" and change the value to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop




HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Desktop



HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Select "Desktop" and change the value to C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Desktop


Also under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
that should be set to:

C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Desktop



Let me know how it goes! :)

finally did it!!!!!!
everything was apparently fine with the registry.
spysweeper simply did the job and after it cleaned all adwares, spywares or whatever else i still had to delete Desktop.html in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System) to be able to change background's options in display properties.

anyway, thx a lot for your help!!
maximum respect!!!!!!!!!!

glad to help out... there will be a desktop.html file on your computer, probably in windows or system32 directory. delete it in safemode.
