Spyware

(oops...posted this in the windowsxp.general group by accident...)

Err...I have a problem that will sound really stupid ^^; I turned on
my computer the other day and my desktop wallpaper was replaced with a
little note stating that I had spyware on my computer and that I should

not use the computer until the spyware was removed. It also wouldn't
let me change the wallpaper.


So I ran various spyware removers in hope of solving the problem, but
even after that, the message was still there....Then I did the dumbest
thing I could do (I was seriously tired by this time), I typed 'spy' in

"Find:" and deleted anything that showed up...yeah, dumb, I know ^^; I

figured I deleted some system files...is there any way to fix this? If

you could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.


Thanks in advance.
