With the use of Spy Sweeper and other spywear removal software we are getting there although some after removed come back, very frustrating, scanned in safe mode and normal mode. One that really bugs me is that the spywear has generated its own desk top default with a spywear warning etc etc. I can get into desktop properties and change this to another scene but on reboot the the spywear does its thing again and pops up as the background and I cant delete it from the properties box. HOW DO WE FIX THIS ONE, driving me nuts any help appreciated also recommendations on spywear programs to use

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.

1. Download and run firefox to protect your from future spyware attacks and pop ups which are coming in through internet explorer (Trojan downloaders, win32 ) .Then update your windows through firefox
Browser attacks aren't easy to spot because they piggyback on legitimate traffic that doesn't exhibit many obvious warning signs
