You must reapply the theme you would like to use in the Display Properties
after removing that particular malware.

Control Panel > Display Properties > Themes Tab > Choose your theme.

I´ve tried that, but the task bar keeps being gray and not blue.

How about Control Panel > System Properties > Advance Tab > Performance
Settings > Visual Effects Tab > Select Adjust for best appearance or
whatever you require.

Spysherrif is an especially nasty piece of work, and the removal and
cleanup can take a while.

Here is a detailed cleanup procedure posted to this newsgroup by David
H. Lipman on Dec 30th. It does work as I have used it myself.

Two part reply..

Perform Part 1 then perform Part 2.

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe
Mode.

If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version
5.0, then
you are are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior
to JRE
Version 5.0. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively
being exploited.
It is possible that is how you got infected with malware.

Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions
of Sun Java
to Version 5 on the PC that they be removed and Sun Java JRE Version
5.0 Update 6
be installed ASAP.

Use the alternate if the first two parts are ineffective...
Note: Alternate only for Win2K, WinXP and Win2003 Server

Part 1
-----------

Use noahdfear's SmitFraud and SpyAxe removal tool -- SmitRem.exe
http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click...click.php?id=1

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic36868.html


Part 2
-----------

Download SmitFraud.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/SmitFraud.exe

Execute; SmitFraud.exe { Note: You must accept the default of
C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE
to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related
files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML will be
generated. At the
end of the scan, it will be displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox
or Internet Explorer).
It is suggested that you move the report out of c:\mcafee before
performing another scan.

Alternate:

Secured2K's SpyAxe, PSGuard, Smitfraud, Sinnaka and Alemod removal
tool.

http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/AntiPuper.exe

C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML in your
reply.
