I have some virus on my PC.
Theres this program I didnt even install and appeared when I rebooted my PC called AntiVirusXP 2008. It says I have 4000+ virus and tells me to register. My desktop background is messed up and says that I have a virus.
So what I did, I found the icon of the "fake antivirus program" and found the program folder, and deleted everything.
But I still has some missing tabs on my display properties, like desktop, and other ones. heres what I mean --> http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/qbprince23/virus.jpg
This is a pic of my background. ---> http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/qbprince23/virus1.jpg
Is the virus still on my pc?
What do I do now?

Why don't you do a scan?
Here is a free online scan: http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/
Or download AVG Free and run a full computer scan.

you could try to run smitfraud, since it probably is a malware...
instructions:
run smitfraud.exe
type 1 press enter
wait for the log file
restart your pc and go into safe mode
run smitfraud.exe choose option 2
go back to normal mode
do all the rest.....
You might loose some probably "fake" infected files, and your background will reset to default..----
PROGRAM NOT MADE BY ME!

Those programs are spyware.
Get Spybot Search & Destroy, it'll be able to remove it I believe.

Lol, these adverts are really stupid. If anyone got 4000+ viruses they wouldn't even be able to download the advertised product..
Anyway, get hijackthis! and post a log.
