Hi guys

I got a desktop wallpaper named "mywallpaper.bmp" which even I delete comes back having the message "WARNING! YOU'RE IN DANGER YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH SPYWARE .......".

I installed the SUPERAntispyware freeware and cleaned the system. Now

1. what should I do to get rid of this wallpaper?

2. Did I do the right thing by running SUPERAntispyware?

3. What should be done for cleaning the system and for future protection?

I appreciate your valuable expert suggestions.

Welcome
Download Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2 to your desktop:
Double click on HJTInstall.exe,it will prompt you to extract hijackthis.exe to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
When the install is complete,HijackThis will automatically launch.
When the license agreement appears,select "I Accept" and then click on the "Do a system scan only" button.
When the scan is complete,click on the "Save Log" button,then save it to your desktop.
Copy and paste the entire contents of that log into a new topic in the HijackThis Logs forum, not here.
