My Desk Top Bakcground Is All Red!!!

Can someone please help me? I keep getting windows security alert messages and when I try to close it out, I am automatically directed to secure pc or shredder. It has been doing this for 24 hours. I cannot go to the Internet because it directs me to secure pc alert, I believe that is the name. I keep geeting Spyware Alert messages. I have not been able to do anything with my computer. I have no funds at the moment, what can I do, I am scared to use any registry cleaners because I do not know what it will remove and I don't know what not to remove. Also, there is a whie x inside a red circle that keeps blinking at the bottom of my screen. Do anyone have an idea what is going on? My desktop background is red!

 

Welcome to MajorGeeks.com, please follow our standard cleaning procedures:

Try and do as many steps as possible, if you can't access the internet you will have to download the necessary tools and utilities from another computer and transfer them via CD, USB, etc;

• Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around..

• CounterSpy Log - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
• AVG Antispyware Log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy. - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
• Bitdefender Log - from step 6
• Panda Scan Log - from step 6
• runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
• newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat

NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
