    Help guys....something stole my background and will not let me get rid of it, nor install a new one.

    It is a big black lable, with red woords, that reads, "SPYWARE INFECTION" and "your system has been infected with spyware. Window recomends that you use a spyware removal tool to prevent lost of data and increase system performance. Using this PC before having it cleaned of spyware threats is highly discouraged."

    Sad thing it I have tried several and they can't help.
    I have use:
    Ad-ware SE Personal
    Super Utilities
    Ewido Security Suite
    Microsoft Antispy
    and
    Norton

    any ideas?

    This is nothing but a scam to get you to buy spyware removal software !

    Go to your Desktop -->Right Click -- Properties -- Desktop TAB --- Open Customize Desktop at the bottom and click the WEB Tab open.

    Remove what is there that should be blank !
