A website opened a random picture file without my prompting, that installed the virus. The virus changed my background to display the message mentioned in the above thread. The message was contained in a black box on a blue background. When I tried to use other pictures as the background, or change it from the list, it refused to change. Currently, after running all of the software in the site's list, the black box with the text is gone, but other backgrounds still refuse to show. My background is now a solid blue. Here is a picture of my desktop options.

Problems I had, but which seem to be gone now, include the following:
Randomly opening files. Once it shut down my computer suddenly, and without prompting. (I know that doesn't fit the description), after that it opened a paint file, where it drew a black squiggly line, or the file contained one, but it disappeared after a moment and left a blank paint file. I closed it. After that it opened one of those black boxes with the white text and entering commands like "ping *sex reference here*" and questionable things, so I closed it.
It changed my homepage to nothing, a blank screen. It added two erotic links to my favorites list, and one folder of them. It also installed some expired antivirus that kept telling me I was infected every five seconds, and that I couldn't run it without buying it, even if I'd wanted to. I deleted that first thing. It came with an uninstall.
Also, I use LiveJournal, and random words in people's journals became blue links. I clicked some, and they didn't seem to load to anywhere.
That should be all the problems I had, but currently seem to have gone away.
When I began the steps the site requires me to take before they'll help me, my connection was fine. As prompted, I ran all programs regardless. The very first one that's supposed to fix my connection messed it up. I've repaired it, but the letter that looks like an i with two signals coming from either side of it is red. It tells me it's disconnected, but the internet works fine. It's just confused, it seems.
Also, since I ran that first program, I've gotten this error message on start up:

I believe those are my only two problems now. Everything the site asked me to run seems to have cleared it out pretty thoroughly. I appreciate what's been done for me thus far. Here is the information requested, from Ewido, then from Hijack This.
