background being replaced

....i am sure that my ramblings by now are getting annoying,having about a million problems in the last week or so...but i hav had had no more problems with the problem recently delt with...only,my background has been replaced by a huge black ardvert telling me to get some sort of software....it was an html documen stored in c drive,calling itself windows...this i deleted...now the black ardvert no longer replaces my background but whatever program starting the image is still running and replaces my background with a blank.

i am at a total loss as other symptoms such as redirecting my searches to some sort of .biz site are also present.

if you are able to help this last time i promise i will do everything in my power not to bother you and try better to solve my own problems

thanks for probably the hundredth time,
griogair!

p.s. i know im in the rong forum section....but i didnt know what type of problem to post it under?

No problem at all, ask away, and keep asking, we will get you sorted, then we'll get you secure

hi,

sory it wasnt sooner but it took a couple of goes.

i downloaded and carried out all the steps mentioned in the link.
strangely enough,the html page that replaced my background has not showed its ugly face since i draged the page down far enough to click on the close icon i had difficulty running stinger as my compter repeatedly went off while running it i am only just online once again so am uncertain to the success of my efforts..jst thot i should at least keep you posted!

thanks for the help,and ill et you know how i eventually get on.

regards, Griogair!

 

yea...its been 10mins..haha...it hasnt changed much im afraid...the background is still intact...but when i try to search for a site...i am every so often redirected to 'coolsearch.biz' which you can imagine is just great!

any ideas?
thanks.
