I rebooted and I'm sure the Trojan is still in my system. I can scan for it and McAfee
detects it. I am going to make that start-up disk in the morning and perform the
method you instructed. I don't have any error messages (on boot-up) anymore so I
think I have at least disabled it's full wrath. I still have a blue background on
my desktop stating the IE error message. I cannot change my wallpaper on my desktop.
I assume that when I rid my PC of the trojan, it will restore that function? The
display properties doesn't have the option anymore to change the desktop wallpaper.
Have any clue if I will need a ME repair disk in order to restore my desktop properly?
I am somewhat computer literate when they are working correctly..lol These bugs are
a little out of my mental grasp though. I really appreciate your help and time.
