Help with Hijacked Desktop

[Guest]

I have windows XP Pro, i have run numerous virus and spyware programs but my
desktop just shows a white blank screen and sometimes is changes to light
brown if i click on the desktop. I have tried deleting all the virus from
the registry as told by Norton, i still unsure of the virus name or if it a
virus or registry settings i have changed, Please could some one advise me on
the correct registry settings for my desktop to be normal and what the
problem could be, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Calvin,

............I have tried deleting all the virus from the registry as told
by Norton,

Does coming here looking for answers mean that Norton won't support
their recommendations? I doubt you'll be able to unscramble much unless
you can tell the readers here exactly what you've changed in the
registry, even then it'll be a long shot.

As you can see, PCBUTTS is still unable to post using his real nickname
and real email address, so, since he want's to be more like me, he's
posting using my Nickname.

Keep showing how little respect you have to the group of people that
actually help butts, keep proving us right about your theft of other
peoples works, keep proving your lack of ethics - you're batting 110% so
far.

mouse pointer over the wallpaper it turns a dirty white and when i move it
onto the start bar it turns a clear white. Thanx for all your usefull help

Did your problem get worse after you did what Norton said to do?
Can you see any characters on your desktop at this time?
Did you go in and change any of the desktop displays?
Have you tried using restore to go back to a time it work correctly?
Just a few questions.
