It?s a lengthy process but it will remove the spyware.

In addition, run

1. Ad-Aware SE Personal
2. Spybot S&D
3. MS AntiSpyware
4. Spysweeper (14-day trial version)

If theses do not resolve the problem, you need to run REGEDIT from Safe Mode and remove all references of the desktop background name.
