OK, I got some sort of virus or spyware on my computer and it's really pissing me off.

I have full updates on Nortons and adware and have ran complete system scans. They have both eliminated all spyware and viruses I had on my computer.

The spyware I had made my desktop an html page, so anytime I click on it it would take me to a page selling spyware removal tools.

After I ran the adware it elimiated the ad which is good, but it then left a blank white html page as my desktop.

I right clicked it and found where it was located went in and deleted it, but it did not go away. When I right click my screen it still shows that file location.

Does anyone know where I can go in my system to delete whatever is is forcing my computer to list this as my desktop. The location is something like C:windows/desktop.html

I have already deleted that from my C: windows directory, I just now need to find out how to delete whatever is making it stay that way. If I move my tool bar down I can see the old pic I had still there.

Sorry this is long, please help!!
