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.

RE: Something keeps changing my desktop background

 

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.

Sorry to see you're still disturbed, Chris. No one will trust you since you

offer plagiarized software from a website that hosts pr0n. Shame, really.

Post in one of the suggested forums anyway, without a HJT log, and fully explain your

problem and what you have tried.
