in the control panle and the screensaver coming up is a load of beetles
walking across the screen leaving a blue trail behind them

Download, install and run superantispyware and it might remove the
malware. Then try some of the following:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
51. ScreenSaver Disable/Enable or Tab Missing
128. (r-h side) Restore Desktop and Screensaver Tabs
227. (r-h side) Restore/Enable Screensaver Tab Settings/Display

I delayed re-installing an anti-virus/trojan barrier program. A bug got
on my computer and removed the desktop and screen saver tabs on desktop
properties, then replaced my background with one that had a warning
message in the middle.

Taking Elmo's advise I scanned with SUPERAntiSpyware and made changes
to my registry using answers 51, 128 and 227 on 'Troubleshooting
Windows XP, Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP'
(http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm)

Problem solved,

You're a genius Elmo,

Keep up the good work

Yours,

Ty

That's great news! But thanks should go to Kelly Theriot and many
others for their great sites!
