This is kinda bugging me, and I just updated everything and restarted
after flushing spyware out of my computer, and now my desktop icon,
sound icon, my computer icon, my documents icon, windows media player
icon, etc. have a white background. Help?
There are often leftovers from malware. Try:
Go to the Display applet in Control Panel and look on the Desktop tab.
Click on Customize Desktop, and then click on the Web tab. You will see
that there are checkmarks next to "My Current Home Page" and probably
"Lock Desktop Items". Uncheck these. If a malware file has been left
behind that is causing the issue, by highlighting the "My Current Home
Page" and clicking on the Properties button, you will be able to
determine the name of the file. It might be called something like
"security.html" or the like.
Click Apply and OK out when you've made your changes. Then you want to
find the *.html malware file and delete it.
If you can't enable desktop backgrounds after a virus, MVP Kelly Theriot
has a fix. Look under Wallpaper-Desktop-Disable Changing here:

If Display tabs are missing, run Kelly's registry edit on line 285,
right-hand side "Restore all display tabs".
