I think i am hit by a virus/spyware. I got a windows security alert balloon. when i restarted my computer, it disappeared but my desktop background is stuck with a blue color and when i try to change it, the option seems to be locked or diabled. I tried to delete all spyware using AVG anti-spyware. Though it shows Deleted, the problem still exists. Your help to resolve this problem will be appreciated.

I am posting a copy of the log file:

-- Can you give us a fresh AVG Scanlog?

Please relocate HijackThis to a safer location. Most Forum volunteers expect to find it at C:\Program Files\HijackThis or C:\HijackThis.

THEN:
-- Please download Peekaboo.bat to your Desktop.
-- DoubleClick peekaboo.bat and give it a couple seconds to run.
A log should pop up in Notepad. Please attach that (peek.txt) for me using the "manage attachments" button when you post back (scroll down).

BTW - You should be advised that anytime somebody in any forum gives you an unknown program to run (even a simple batch like this one), it is strictly a "Use At Your Own Risk" proposition!

Anyhoo, it is up to you if you want to trust me


Cheers

You should have AVG CLEAN the items it finds. You have a couple things hiding in System Restore.....

-- Please download FixxIt.zip and Extract FixxIt.reg to your desktop.
DoubleClick on FixxIt.reg and allow it to merge into the registry.
REBOOT

You ought to be able to reset your Desktop now.

thnxx a lot.. my desktop background is back.. but now a new problem has occured.. it seeems, when i try to connect to my wireless network, its giving "Limited or no connectivity " error all the time.. wat do i do now?

this happened immediately after i fixed the previous problem of the desktop background,.

This would be completely unrelated to what we just did.

The registry keys we addressed have nothing to do with your wireless network.


You could try this:
Click Start > Run > type CMD > Enter
Type or Copy&Paste: ipconfig /flushdns > Press Enter
(Be sure to leave the space between the g and the / )

If that doesn't help, we can try a few other things....

PP

i rebooted my computer after a long time.. everything luks normal nw.. i didnt do anythin to fix the network isuue.. perhaps ur rite tht it has nothin to do with wat we js did..

anyway, thnx a lot for helpin me gettin rid of tht annoyin desktop stuff.. really appreciate.. :-))

Happy to help!

-- I think I initially misinterpreted your connection problem. Looking at it again, it looks like some troubleshooting of your wireless network might be in order.
It could be related to any number of things: Firewall settings, Winsock, Network Card, Router, and so on.....

Best Luck
PP
