Dear all



I was invaded by adware from shopathome.com which placed an ad on my
desktop. I can't get rid of it and restore my own background picture on the
desktop. When I view the source it says C_WINDOWS_desktop[1] - Notepad

and when you open it up it says:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<!----

Does anyone know where this programme is located so that I can delete it?



Thanks.

Run these malware cleaners:

1. Lavasoft Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com
2. SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org
3. CWShredder - http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

Update 1 & 2 before running a scan.
