Problems with computer background
 

Hi, I am having a problem with my customizing my computer's background.

You see, I can not use pictures as wallpapers for my computers background.

Also, under display properties, under the desktop tab, the background section is colored gray and I can not click on any of them!

I have already ran anti-virus software and anti-spy software, however nothing seems to solve the problem!

Any help on this would be great! Thank you and please help me...... and my computer!

Re: Problems with computer background
 

Hello Gomba, welcome to Daniweb Spyware/virus Removal Forums :)

Please Download HJTsetup.exe

Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.

Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.

Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Re: Problems with computer background
 

Hey there :)

Hi rh7684, Welcome to Bleepingcomputer.

I see you have Viewpoint installed.
Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad".

This will change from what we know in 2006 read This Article.

I suggest you remove the program now. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.

• Viewpoint
• Viewpoint Manager
• Viewpoint Media Player

Post back with a fresh HJT logfile.

Re: Problems with computer background
 

Alright then, I removed those viewpoint things, here is the new log thing......

Re: Problems with computer background
 

I Can see that you are using several Antivirus softwares at the same time..

The main rule is, that only one Antivirus software running on yuor system active.

Which one of these are you currently using active in your system : CAISAFE, Symantec, Or Yahoo Antivirus?

Let me know which one you are currenlty using.

Please Go to Start => Control Panel => Add Or Remove Programs and Remove Those Other Antivirus Softwares and only leave 1 of them installed.

Thanks :)

Re: Problems with computer background
 

Alright, I deleted two of them and left only one, should I do another one of those log things?


By the way, I do not know if it particularly matters or not but my computer has been randomly freezing.

Also, this message-error-thing has been popping up lately it reads something like this....

CwndSessionMonitor: iexplore.exe - Application Error [X]

(big x) The instuction at "0x62304390" referenced memory at "0x62304390". The memory could not be "read'.

click OK to terminate the program

[ OK ]


Though, I do not know if any of these things are related to my initial problem.


By the way, thank you for devoting time to help me, I really appreciate it.

Re: Problems with computer background
 

Hello?

Are you still there?

Re: Problems with computer background
 

I guess i'll take over Rahina must be busy or something. Ok i'm gonna have you run a quick scan.

Please download and install ewido anti-spyware tool(Now called AVG anti-spyware)

• Close all other Applications Select language click Ok
• Click I Agree
• Click next
• Click Install
• Click Finish
• Wait Ewido will open main screen automatically.
• Wait again a few minutes and Ewido Should Auto update itself. If it doesn't click update at top of screen.
• This in very important to get updates
• When updating has finished. Close Ewido.

If you have an "always on" connection to the internet, physically disconnect that connection until you are finished with Safe Mode and have rebooted back into normal mode.

• Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear use arrow up to highlight
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.
• For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: HERE
  
  You MUST manage to get into Safe Mode for the fix to work.

Make sure to close all open windows/programs/folders. Have nothing else open while ewido performs its scan!

• Open Ewido
• Click on scanner top of Ewido sceen
• Click on Settings
• Under How to Act click on Recommended Action choose Quarantine
• Under How to scan all boxes should be selected
• Under Possibly unwanted software all boxes should be selected
• On right side under Reports: click on Automatically generate report after every scan.
• Under What to scan select scan every file
• Click On scan Tab
• Click on Complete system scan
• Let the program scan the machine It can take awhile give it time.
• When scan has finished At bottom of screen click Apply all Actions
• Click Save report
• Click Save Report as (Save as window's screen should pop up.)
• Click desktop
• Click Save
• Exit ewido

Reboot back to normal mode

Now in your next post include the AVG log as well as a new HJT log. Sorry for the delay.
