desktop image keeps disappearing
in Resolved Malware Removal Logs
Posted
Hi,
I have already run a virus scan with Kapersky Internet security 2010 (trial version) and with Malware (twice! did a quick scan after checking for updates as per another forum page advice) and all three times it has said my computer is clean.
However, I have this issue: the desktop background image keeps disappearing after I set it. Usually takes about ten minutes or so or whenever it goes into the screensaver. Most internet forums I check on this problem seem to allude to a rootkit. But like I say, I haven't found one on here yet (and don't really know what it is other than something I don't want, so please use small words in any response!). Any ideas? Greatly appreciated.
PS I do not have the disks to wipe and reinstall windows, as I am currently in South America (and they are at home in Canada - and I have a new windows xp sp3 version anyways after having to get a new hard drive here... it is a long story) so any tips to fix this without doing that are needed. I promise I will reinstall when I get home - I just need to get there!
