...I had the same problem, this is how i solved it.<br /><br />Went to SuperAntispyware.com and downloaded the PORTABLE antispyware program and copied it to a USB memory stick.(I tried malwarebytes also). I then booted the infected machine into safemode with command prompt. I then change the prompt from C: to the USB drive letter, for me it was F.<br />then, "F: dir" to find the name of the program. (the program randomly generates a file name such as SAS_329824.com) I ran it and at the completion i was able to reboot and have access to my desktop and the web. I then uploaded AVG and ran it. That finished it off. I still had background issue but i just changed it to another background. I might fix it as the guy above did tonight.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608276042970908137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018422732578356361.post-60894870731205726432011-03-11T09:20:47.139-05:002011-03-11T09:20:47.139-05:00I added links so you know where to download those ...I added links so you know where to download those tools at. All tools are free. The spyware doctor that costs money has more signatures, but the free one works just fine.roadzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031644222088604945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018422732578356361.post-54240380626574710602011-03-11T09:18:38.013-05:002011-03-11T09:18:38.013-05:00Glad this post helped you!

This s...Thanks a lot Roadzy, you have save my day!<br /><br />This solution has fixed similar problem in my laptop. I don't have Spyware Doctor but I used free version of Super Antispyware (from superantispyware.com) to clean my laptop.<br /><br />For resolving weird background issue, I found registry at following location:<br /><br />HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop<br /> There is a key called NoChangingWallPaper REG_DWORD Data 0x00000001 <br /><br />Change the key from 1 to 0.<br /><br />I hope it will help others. <br /><br />Once again thanks a lot.<br /><br />Regards<br />ChiragUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083874142980458837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018422732578356361.post-8488475175366468232011-03-07T10:37:18.905-05:002011-03-07T10:37:18.905-05:00I've had the same problem with other virus/spy...I've had the same problem with other virus/spyware/ad-ware before and if it locks up at that point, only option is to reinstall windows.
