Windows XP: A virus changed my background
A virus changed my background
by mattyk41 - 12/21/08 8:56 AMand it has locked me out from changing it. Initially, I was unable to access my task manager screen until I ran Windows onecare scan. it cleared up the virus but I still cannot get into my regedit (it states registry editing has been blocked by your adminstrator). My background change occurred as a part of this virus....
Any suggestions on how to get back to where it once was?

I anticipated that it would take several hours before someone replied so I continued scouring the forum board for similar issues. I found one close but not ntirely the same and it suggested that that person run a system restore point. Since I had tried this while I had this virus I didn't thnik to run it again post virus. As soon as I did the regedit and background lock out problem remedied itself.
Regardless, thank you for the quick response,
Matty
