hello everyone!

i recently was victim to a trojan, ive used software to remove it but before
i did it changed my desktop background to a blue background with a black box
in the middle saying (with red lettering) SPYWARE INFECTION and then
described that there was an infection etc.

i have removed the trojan like i said but for some reason this background
remains, ive tried changing the background in the control panel but the
screen where you can browse or use a default one is greyed out.

also when i log out and can see my original background after this spyware
one leaves the screen.

any ideas please???!! im pulling my hair out trying to find wots wrong!
