Desktop problems. Virus?!

[iqueenalexa]

I have been having soo many problems on my computer recently. A million pop-ups, not being able to use search engines, and just about a ton more. So I'll start with one problem at a time.

When I first sign onto the computer my desktop looks normal, it has the regular background and everything, and then you notice that there's a white background on the words of the icons. I know it isn't that big, but when I check the web tab under "customize desktop" and it says "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\prokycov.html" is my desktop. The first time I just left it and then my wallpaper turns white and has a button that says "Activate Desktop" with a bunch of directions. I'm so not sure if I should click it or not so I go and delete the web page or whatever it is - it's back to normal. Except! After I restart the computer it's back again! I have tried spybot and nothing helps and I have tried hijackthis and still nothing.

Please help I don't know what to do! Is it a virus?! or is it just something simple.
