I haven't got a Scooby

[robindawson]

I haven't got a Scooby Do (clue) what i am doing. My pc got infected with a poss. spyware (spysherif?) and i lost control of my desktop display options which sadly means i cannot look at the picture of my new son anymore! I've just downloaded ewido antispyware trial to try and fix it but it's still bust. Can anyone help?

Try this:

This roguefix tool is updated frequently and covers SpySherif infections. Run Ewido again after you run the tool. (See instructions on the link above.)

I don't know whether you have Spyware Sheriff or SpySherrif, so I included both!

Problem solved! Thank you all for your advice. I tried the link provided by Old Rebel and found it very helpful in guiding a novice like myself. Now my son is once again beaming down at me from my computer screen, which always takes the edge off a hard day!!;D
