Wallpaper - Can someone help?

I was on the internet one day when my computer detected that it had been
infected with spyware. One of it's repsonses was to change the background and
barre me from changing it. I have since installed numerous items of software
to eliminate and protect against spyware but I am still unable to change my
desktop wallpaper. Does anyone know what the problem is and if so, can they
direct help?
