Answer 1

I fixed that one last night. Spybot S&D will remove the malware\virus.

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

Turn off Windows System restore/

Install Spybot S&D, update it, disconnect from the internet, immunize your system. Run it... do the fixes

Reboot in safe mode, run Spybot agian.

Restart

Turn on System Restore.

Connect to the internet..

your done..

good luck

if all else fails download hijackthis and email me the log file.

Answer 2

Doing a system restore is not a bad idea but does not always get rid of the infection but if its worked then all is good, if not read below.

Malwarebytes is one of the best programs for removing you kind of infection, download, update and run a scan - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

The other two programs to try are:

SuperAntispyware: http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware...

SmitFraudfix: http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.p...

These 3 programs will remove this infection, if Malwarebytes doesn't completely remove the virus then run SuperAntispyware its a very good and free spyware remover.

Answer 3

Here are the instructions for removal:

Answer 5

Wallpaper Hijacker Removal Tool:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/Wallpaper_Hija...

Note: You should hit all "Repair" buttons even though it may not say

"Found!" This will fix a wallpaper hijack everytime if all repair buttons are pressed.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant...

Download, install, update and select Full Scan.

Remove all infections that it finds after scan.

Spybot S&D:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

Download, install, update and Immunize, then click 'Check for

problems' then when complete select all and then 'Fix Checked'

VundoFix:

http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/gl...

Disconnect your computer from the internet

Run vundo

Restart your computer

Run the tool again to ensure no traces are left.

If there are the reboot into Safe Mode and run FixVundo again.

Use them in that order....if you have had this infection prior to your last restore point then you also need to turn OFF System Restore.  Do NOT turn off System Restore before trying the above fixes, it may not be necessary.

Right click My computer > select Properties > System Restore Tab > Tick Turn Off System restore on all drives.

After scans are complete and machine is clean remember to turn system restore back ON and creat a new restore point.

EDIT:

If system Restore has solved the problem then leave it as it is, but ensure that your antivirus is always up-to-date and that you use realtime antispyware as well as using other antispyware programs to check.

Also go to PCPitstop Optimize which will check your computers health. More detailed article here:

Answer 7

Update Spybot Search and Destroy. Click "Immunize" in Spybot Search & Destroy after the update.

Then delete your restore points (Start > All Programs >Accessories > System Tools >Disk Cleanup > Advanced >Delete restore points)

Then run Spybot S&D again.

If it doesn't work you mayhave to boot into Safe Mode to accomplish this.

*EDIT*: No, a System Restore WON'T work - this is one of the first places a virus will infect you. Delete all restore points, and do what I said before - update S&D, Immunize, then scan. Use Safe Mode if need be. (Press F8 or F12 when booting PC and choose Safe Mode)
