Hi David. Thanks for responding. I have deleted all of the infections and
re-ran the scanner software and the infections are gone but I am left with
the screen under my icons on the desktop which states that "Spyware
Infection. The system is infected with spyware etc." It has overwritten my
blue background with the message and I can not get rid of it. I am unable to
change backgrounds.
