My computer was infected with AVGold, (prosecute the A*******). If it helps, I scanned with Panda online, noted the spyware files (about 7 located in Windows and windows/system32, used the Task Manager to immediately stop the processes so I could then delete the files. It seemed to work.

But I still only have screensaver and settings property tabs for the display properties, there is no background tab available. I can install a background by previewing the actual picture file, but cannot do so from the control panel.

Thanks.
