    Right, I altered the colour of the labels through control panel/display/ desktop, here I changed the colour althogh I did not get the original colour back, I am able to read the labels now without getting a migraine

    What did you scan with? I want to avoid using that program. Seems like that is a glitch with the program if it changes the desktop labels to a different color.

    I did a complete scan with StopZilla, this is something I have done many times with no problems at all.

    thanks for that info, I have uninstalled stopzilla now and it seems to have done it successfuly. I have Superantispyware so I will stick with that. I used stopzilla when I got a nasty that superantispyware did not detect.

    If SAS doesn't catch something, try Malwarebytes.
    The free version doesn't protect in real time but it is still an excellent program. (I have 3 paid versions running and my other windows computers are running the free version).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5756 (don't let the price scare you off; just say no thanks to the try the pro version and you can use it freely)

    I will do that, I will feel more comfortable without stopzilla in view of the info you have given me. I appreciate your help.
