Hi
I recently successfuly removed some malware from my computer
notably, the Windows Antivirus Pro virus.
This virus replaced my desktop with a crazy background warning me that my information was being shared...yadayada

my desktop now is this odd blue color, and i can't change it by going to personalize.

I have windows vista.

Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy (with Vista, most likely, you won't need it).
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista case).
If sfc won't find any errors in Windows XP, it'll simply quit, without any message.
In Vista you will receive the following message: "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations".

I think the SFC screen just went away.
My desktop is still oddly blue and CMD.exe doesn't work.

It's always recommended to have Windows CD/DVD, but it's not necessary to restore your computer.
First, you'll need to backup your data, because everything will be erased.
Then, you have couple of options:
1. Use recovery DVD, if it came with your computer.
2. Create recovery DVD, and use it.
3. Order recovery DVD from your computer maker (in most cases, free).
4. Use recovery partition to restore computer to its original state.

What brand, and model of the computer is it?

Hi,
I have the partition disk. My computer is
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (Version = 6.0.6001) - Type = NTWorkstation
HP G60 Notebook

I don't know if I can do this right now, becuase I really need my computer. I have everything backed up, would it be all pretty easy to restore? and will it solve my problem?

If your problem is not caused by some hardware problem, you can be up and running in no time.
Since your data is backed up, start the computer, and at HP logo press F11 key.
It'll take you straight to recovery process.
1 hours later, your computer will be at the state as it came from the store.
