I found a rather simple way to fix this issue after the virus has been removed. The reason that the desktop can not be clicked is because there is a active desktop item that spans the entire desktop. To get rid of this, go to your control panel, and go to display properties. Once there, go to the desktop tab and click on customize desktop. Now click the Web tab. If you see anything other than my home page, delete it. You should now see your desktop. STEP TWO: go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to #203 On the right of that you should see restore right click properties. save that in a text file, and then open the text file and save it as a new name like restore_right_click.reg make sure it saves as a registry file. Run that and click yes to merge with your registry. Once this finishes, you should now have you right click back again. Any more questions, feel free to email me at insect.tech@yahoo.com and i will do my best to answer your questions.
NOTE: I am doing this on windows XP home edition. Other operating systems may vary.
As for the virus removal, I HIGHLY recommend a program called Trojan Remover. It is not free, but it does do the job. This Issue is commonly associated with the virtumonde virus.
