Blue Wallpaper with You Have Spyware Message
I ran into this spyware the other day on a computer. It changed the wallpaper to blue and had a message on the wallpaper saying "You Have Spyware"! It also removed the tabs from the Display Properties screen so that I could not adjust the wallpaper. Here is what fixed it:
1. Installed AVG Free Antivirus, then scanned and removed spyware/viruses
2. Downloaded and ran SmitFraudFix
3. Downloaded HijackThis and removed suspicious entries (if you are not sure what suspicious entries are then go to www.iamnotageek.com and it can analyze the HiJackThis log for you)
4. Downloaded & ran LSPFix
