I cant change my desktop back, either. When i go to control panel, display, the only tabs i have are screensaver and settings
Also, next to my clock, there is a red exclamation point. When i put my mouse over it, it says, "Your computer is infected"..when i click on it it takes me to PSGUARD.COM homepage.
This is 1) very annoying, and 2) very frightening. I dont know what this is doing to my computer or what this means. I run Windows XP. Any help will be appreciated.
I was told by a friend to run hijack this, and post it on this forum....
my log is as follows:
