edited October 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Ok in the past I have had many problems with the stupid homepage hijacker. I found a site telling me how to remove it with hijackthis and aboutbuster no prob. Tonight I had a new experience as I had my desktop wallpaper hijacked! When I right click properties to change it, the only tabs I have is screensaver & settings. I can click on the stupid background image and up comes a site PSguard.com this is just a black background saying WARNING in big red letters. Now I dont want this obviously and i have ran both hijackthis and aboutbuster in safemode removed a crap load of stuff even reset my pages FINALLY to google (from about/blank) at least I think it finally did. hijackthis comes up with nothing found, as well as aboutbuster. I just would like to know how to remove that background and get my normal display tabs back! anyhelp would be appreciated! Thanks

    Well stupid me found out how to get rid of the wallpaper and change it back to my original but I still have the missing display tabs???? Idea's anyone? Oh and BTW for the second time Norton Antivirus pro 2004 has had an internal error with the license for the product, it did this to me before when I had a horrible spyware infection. I ended up formatting the hard drive and it came back. Is it by chance that hijack this or about buster deleted its license info or the file that stores it?
