Warning you are in danger spyware wallpaper

"Warning you are in danger" wallpaper this is spyware and the link at the bottom of the page does work, Had tried running spybot , ad-aware, spy sweeper and Microsofts Anti-spyware program. So far none of these programs have picked this up. Any ideas on how to remove this off of my PC

Go to this post here first, and follow the instructions EXACTLY.

Then see How to post your Hijackthis log-files.

What you have is a website desktop

Although spyware CAN modify your desktop, this is NOT spyware, so no anti-spyware software can remove it. In fact, I have a website desktop set up for one of my accounts.

To simply remove it, go to Control Panel>Display>Desktop>Customize Desktop and select the "Web" tab. Uncheck any websites under "Web Pages"

Isnt that cute :haha:

Why is that cute?

what an easy answer! ive tried so much stuff to get rid of this. all mine had was a blank white background for months. now i can enjoy my desktop. i regstered as a member just so i could thank you, may sound pathetic but i was even thinkin of reformatin!!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

I`m glad you`ve got your dekstop back. However, I`d like to check that your system is free from viruses/spyware etc.

Go and read this thread HERE.

Then, open a new thread in this forum and post your HJT log as a .txt attachment.

Daner: Spyware

Hello, for Windowns 2000, resolve this threat by visiting settings>web> untick the "..... Active X" box, then the desktop returns to normal and the irritation levels wash away....

Danger: Spyware

sorry, I meant visiting settings>desktop>web>

Thank you so much...it worked, now finally got rid of that goofy thing.....

Interesting day here! There are three threads about the spyware wallpaper and another three about the Task Manager being disabled!

Got to wonder who' running what security programs, if they're kept updated and if scans are done!
