I had AntiSpyStorm (a virus) on my computer. I was able to remove it except for one problem. When the computer boots up and after the user selection, it still has that awful black & red screen notice that says "your computer is infected....." I checked for the virus again, and it is gone. How can I get rid of this screen? If I try to change it in properties, it is labeled default with an internet explorer icon next to it and it's labeled "default". I have a new installation of anti virus software, but it doesn't see this problem. Any ideas? Thanks,

You haven't gotten the infection cleaned up completely, if you still have issues. 
Uninstalling from A/R is only the beginning. It requires special removal tools. 

Register and post on one of these malware support forums....
MalWare Removal Forums

OR, register and post on TechGuy forum, with a description of your problem. They'll 
let you know what steps to take. Post Only on one forum. Good luck.

Tip: To help prevent future malware infections, Stop using IE as your main 
browser. Switch to a more secure, less malware prone browser as your main browser. 
IE is extremely vulnerable to malware infections. 

Firefox and Opera are recommended alternatives by security experts. Additionally, 
use a HOSTS file. See the link below for more info.

Are you having an identity crisis lately?"  :)
