Hi,
Can someone please help me? Today this something (sorry I have no technical
savy) keeps changing my desktop background to some spyware warning. Even
when I change it back to normal it changes it back to that same blue
background with the warning. There is a link on it that goes to
http://winsecurityupdates.com/?aid=444.568. I can't get rid of it. What
ever it is has also disabled my task manager. HELP!!!!! Please!!!!!!! It is
sooooo invasive, I hate it.
 
RE: Something keeps changing my desktop background

Hello kimmey,

Its a type of spyware. Don't go to that link or download any of the file. I
think it has changed the desktop color also. I'm giving you the best
solution, Use Avast 4.8 Home edition Antivirus (Free). You have to register
yourself for free license by sending mail to Avast. First Enter the
Registration key, then Update its database, Disconnect from Internet & at
last scan the whole computer for virus. After getting rid of the virus, I
think you have to restore some of the registry key also. Hopefully you will
get rid of it. Below is the link for Avast.

Sorry to see you're still disturbed, Chris. No one will trust you since you
offer plagiarized software from a website that hosts pr0n. Shame, really.
