    adverts on desktop

    hello
    My desktop has turned all green with leaves all over it and also about 30 adverts that are live.
    I have rightclicked desktop-properties-desktop but the background is greyed out and I cannot change the background.

    I have done a spyware scan-adware scan but nothing came up.

    I did a virus check and 2 virus came
    upate.exe---Trojan horse Startpage.CIH
    wypda.exe---Trojan Horse Dialer RQJ
    These were sent to the vault and cleared but the desktop is still the same
    I have done a print screen .The URL is http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/nrows/desktop.htm

    Help would be appreciated
    Thank you
    Cofi

    Hi Karverr
    I downloaded free SpyBot http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html
    Did a scan and cleared all the problems. Still cannot stop the Pop UNDER adverts. I think they come via Google

    All the best

    I have tried another and it worked great, you might want to try. Go to http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe
    It cleared up all my spyware and malware problems.
