    Right now my desktop wallpaper is changed to a wallpaper that says that a spyware has been detected on my PC.
    My Windows Secuity Center Window popped up and said that there a possible spyware program installed as well. I don't remember the problem's name.

    I've tried these recommended steps:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    \Software
    \Microsoft
    \Windows
    \CurrentVersion
    \Policies
    \System
    "Wallpaper"=SZ:C:\WINDOWS\desktop.html

    But I can't find "Wallpaper" on the Registry Desktop. Any help would be appeciated.
