    I had what appears to be a trojan on my system. After launching IE, suddenly my wallpaper was changed along with my startup page, and various other things. After doing a full scan of my system, a couple of Trojans were found, along with some Spyware.

    The problem is though even after removing them, I can't change the Wallpaper on my Desktop because there is a tab missing on the Display Properties Window.

    Any idea how I can fix this?

    Also, the IE Titlebar text has been changed.

    Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Can you please download and run HijackThis from

    http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/hijackthis.zip

    Press the "scan" button and once it is done do *not* try to fix anything as most of the stuff is necessary, instead save the log and copy and paste it here so we can advise you on removals.

    Thanks

    Dan
