I know that one. To get rid of it you'll need a complete wipe of the hard-drive. At this point it's too hard to find it and remove it. I had that same problem about 6 months ago. I tried antispyware programs, virus removal programs, trojan removal programs and finally just wiped the hard-drive. It took less effort and was faster. The only crappy thing about it was losing my programs favorites. Crying or Very sad

Sucks....... Evil or Very Mad

My aunt had that same virus it constantly changed her wall paper and wanted me to buy their crap software also it didnt allow me to open internet explorer. I down loaded fire fox and found the fix for it took like 4 hours cause her pc kept rebooting. I never seen anything like that in almost 10 years of helping friends and family out and hope I never see it again..
