First off let me apologize, I can see you guys get hit with this problem alot. I searched the forums here and at techstop and could not find one specific to my problem. I figured that each attack was different and thought I would post to see if I can get some help.

Ok the main problem I am having is this. Last night I recieved a message from Trend Micro PC that I trojan virus was found in one of my System files and Temp files. Immediately the desk went to a blue background with a small rectangle in the middle. The Top of the rec is yellow and says Warning Spyware detected on your computer! the bottom part is in blue with the following Install Antivirus or spyware remover to clean you computer.

Trend Micro is my Anti-Virus and I use Ad-Aware as my Anti-Spyware (2007).

I must admit this little devil is a clever S.O.B. It has disabled my Desktop tab in Display and Screen Saver, and get this my screen saver is the blue screen of death and then switches to the screen of the Windows XP logo with the loading bar under it much like an actual re-boot. I have to press one of the F function keys to pull up my password prompt and then everything is fine.

So with all that having been said is there anyone out there who can help me out with this? It would be greatly appreciated.

On another note, I have to return to work it will be later in the day when I get back before I can reply. I appreciate again any help that can be given.

Please tell me about any problems that have occurred during the fix.
Please tell me of any other symptoms you may be having as these can help also.
