Ok so my freind has a virus on his computer. He doesnt know how to remove the virus. It changed his background to “Warning Spyware Detected on your system
Install Antivvirus or Spyware to clean your compter”
He cant change the background to anything else. And then it says virus on his computer. I first thought that it was Antivvirus XP 2008 but it doesnt show up in his program files. I know there is one file on his computer that is a virus its called: Iphcr4kj0ee65.exe
But I cant remove it. So what should I do to get this off his computer.
Thanks so much!!!

Download and install some antispyware software, such as ad-aware (from http://www.lavasoft.de), update and run a smart system scan… it should detect the spyware, then delete or quarantine the files detected as infected and restart your computer.
Good luck!

You should use an antivirus program and antispyware software, because your computer is now infected with viruses and/or spyware.
Here you have more information on computer security, as well as good and free programs that you can download into your computer:

It certainly sounds like you have been infected with some kind of malware. Unfortunately, if you find one infection, it is highly likely you have another one. A virus, trojan or worm are all different types of infections/malware and there are some great FREE programs that can help you.
First, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner (available at http://www.filehippo.com) to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP, as I feel it does a much more thorough job - for example, it will clean out the index files on your next reboot.
If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:
- Double-Click on My Computer to open it up
- RIGHT-click on your C: drive
- Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button
- When done, reboot your computer.
Delete these files daily or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.
2 - You should also have a good anti-virus program to help protect your computer. AVG FREE is an excellent anti-virus program, which can be downloaded from http://www.download.com. You might also choose Avast or Avira, both also free programs from http://www.download.com.
3 -Since NONE of the anti-spyware/anti-adware programs are 100% accurate in finding and removing spyware, you need at least two programs which you will run one after the other, not at the same time.
There are three excellent free ones:
–Spybot, Search and Destroy
–Ad-Aware
–Spyware Blaster
All are available FREE from http://www.download.com
You will need to download, install, update (and IMMUNIZE in Spybot) and run them, one at a time. Be careful with the NAME of these programs - there are “look-alikes” with very similar names, that are in fact spyware themselves! Reboot after you install each one!
After this current infection is cleared up, be sure to run both of the above programs at least once a week if you are on the internet frequently and/or like to download music or files.
NOTE: Some infections prevent your from downloading the above programs. You may have to use a clean computer to download the programs and copy them to a thumb drive or CD. Then transfer the install files to the infected computer and run.
–Occasionally you will not be able to run these programs without being in SAFE MODE. To get there, reboot your computer and tap the F8 key, repeatedly until a menu comes up. You want to choose SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING.
4 -You should also have a good firewall to help protect your computer. Zone Alarm makes a totally free version (watch you don’t download the 30-day free trial of the paid version). You can download this from the manufacturer at http://www.zonelabs.com
