| If you haven't done so, use Adaware to scan your whole computer. Download and run Spybot. It gets some infections that Adaware misses. If you know the name of the spyware, search at Google for that name and you may find free removal software. If this doesn't work, you'll have to buy removal software. |

| if this is displayed in ur desktop as a wallpaper.. then u will have to remove it manually. normally it is a html file named desktop.html will be found in windows folder. & after that u will see no wall paper , this is because this spyware is in ur registry, if u really know how to handle registry , then go to registry and search for desktop.html and then remove it manually , otherwise use any other suggestion given by other buddies |
