Missing items under display options

[Guest hamsatuk]

Hi A friend of mine has some of the options under the Display

Properties menu missing, such as changing the desktop picture and

changing the screen saver. He is running Windows XP home version.

Any help/ideas appreciated.

TIA

He has the Antivirus 2008 trojan or one of it's variants. It is a real pain

to get rid of, so try the suggestions at

Also run Spybot s&d and Adaware 2008 - both available from http://www.download.com

 

Good luck.
