The Desktop Icons changed into white instead of trasnlucent.
And I started getting pop ups about changing my homepage. I always said no.
I tried running anti virus and spyware programs such as Malewarebytes.
I will attach a picture of it if that helps.

jophen,
I'm not seeing anything either.
Let's try an online scan.
Please go to
Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.
Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button. It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run . When the downloads have finished, click on Settings . Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked).

Well the scan found nothing…which is a good thing maybe?
I was thinking maybe if I just say yes to it, it might not be a bad site or something…but if it is a bad site or a bad thing to do. I can just rescan my computer after I have said "yes" and see if its a problem.
I don't know, what do you think?
My problem is not really a problem it seems, so if there is anyone that needs your help more than I need it. I can wait

jophen,
My problem is not really a problem it seems, so if there is anyone that needs your help more than I need it. I can wait
There is and always will be someone else who needs help. We do what we can so… my top priority is whomever I'm helping at the time.
Let's try these issues one at a time. What exactly is WinPatrol telling you?
Well every time I turn on my computer WinPatrol pop ups a warning saying
"A change has been detected in Background page displayed on your Desktop
Your new page is
http://vthumb.ak.fbcdn.net/vthumb-ak-sf2p/…1177515_734.jpg
If this is ok, then click yes or press enter,
Click No and we'll restore your page to the default
About:Home"
I always click No but it keeps popping up :S
thanks
jophen,
Go to start -> control panel -> Display properties -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop… -> Web tab, then uncheck and delete everything you find in there (except for "My current home page"),
Also remove the checkmark from the the Lock Desktop Items box if it is checked.
Apply.
Apply and Exit Display properties.
Then let me know what happens.
haha yay its fixed!
thank you so much!
everything is back to normal now, no more pop ups and such
jophen,
Cool.
Log looks good
You need to create a new Clean restore point:
Click
Start Menu > Run > copy and paste
%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe
Press
OK. Choose
Create a Restore Point then click
Next. Name it (something you'll remember) and click
Create , when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click
Close.
Remove all previous Restore Points
Click
Start Menu > Run > copy and paste
cleanmgr
You may be asked to choose drive. Choose C: At top, click on
More Options tab. Click
Clean up… button in the System Restore box. Click on
Yes button. When finished, click on
Cancel button to exit.
Double-click
My Computer .
Click the
Tools menu , and then click
Folder Options .
Click the
View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder,
Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click
Apply , and then click
OK .
Now to remove most of the tools that we have used in fixing your machine: Make sure you have an Internet Connection. Download OTC to your desktop and run it A list of tool components used in the cleanup of malware will be downloaded. If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OTC to reach the Internet, please allow the application to do so. Click Yes to begin the cleanup process and remove these components, including this application. You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.
Go ahead and delete any tools that may be left.
The following is my standard advice for the future. Use what you can and pat yourself on the back for what you're already doing.
Please take time to read
Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing . Very important information for your consideration is contained therein.
I would also suggest you read this:
