i think your talking about the system restore

go to start>run>type in "msconfig"> and near the bottom there will be a button that says "Launch System Restore"

well basically it's probaby more like spyware in transmission but it's acting like a virus... in any case go buy norton, which will come with a cd that I belive you could boot from and get this thing removed.... I'm not really a huge fan of norton but it's a quick and simple way for an inexperienced user to fix such a thing...

To do it right though you need to format the HD, start from scratch and quit using spyware supported P2P's and only use IE to watch video's... other than that use firefox/Opera for a web browser and Lite versions of p2p software... also it wouldn't hurt to run some free spyware cleaners from time to time like Ad-aware. Also throw norton on just for the hell of it... BTW: if you do go buy norton JUST buy norton antivirus... all thier other products will just frustrate you and f*ck up your computer...

if you can get on the net from that computer you can try downloading ad-aware for free to start with (http://www.lavasoft.com) and update/run/reboot/run/reboot/run it and it'll clean up most spyware... but in the long run your fighting an uphill battle. It's better to reformat (or use your restore disks) and just don't get that crap in the first place...

most of the time its a web pages attached to the destop setting in the display drivers, go to your display driver and click custom settings and see if there is a web site attached for a desktop and that might fix it

from now on i'd suggest getting some sort of spyware/virus protection

me personally i use zonealarm security suite, firewall, virus, spyware all in one. send me a pm if you need a copy of it
