I recently removed some spyware off of my pc, since then I have had a problem with the background. in the properties the display is greyed out. i have read on here the the spysherif spyware does this to pc's. I tried the smitfraud download suggested but with no luck due to the following 'some keys are open by the system or other processes'.
My HJT is below please help.
