    Have you searched on google for others with the same virus? I had a Blue screen virus a couple of months ago, which changed the background and removed the ability to change the wallpaper. Lots of people had the same problem and I found some good answers out there on geeky forums Click here to enlarge

    First thoughts would be that it's embedded in the BIOS as you may think you've blasted it out and when you reboot it comes back ... (I had something like this a few years back and ended up with some scan programme that cleared it out , eventually).

    I'll have a look on the net now Click here to enlarge

    Similar process to what I had to do.

    It probably wont let you, but you could try system restore to a few days ago.

    Try downloading Avast free antivirus , it seems to be happy to run with some other virus checkers so worth a try

    ok try this (The home of Spybot-S&D!) its a program thats free that will search spyware/adware and im almost certain it detected vitumonde on mine and cleared

    once installed do an update then click on immunize and make sure there are no unprotected files, after its done then click search and destroy

    hope this helps Click here to enlarge

    now im sure i read somewhere that http://avast.s0ftware-uk.com/?s=gouk...FQWc1AodbikgiQ and http://free.avg.com/ are the best free antivirus programs
