My wife in her quest for coupns, which is saving us about $10.00 every time we goto the store, she recently was infected with a Desktop Hijack software. This software basically makes yo u think you have the Blue Screen of Death from the old W2K systems. This was an XP home machine, I must say quite cleaver but I really wish they would spend their time elsewhere to make a contribution to societly. Ok sorry for the Rant, Heres how to fix it. I basically spent the better half the of last night and into this morning fixing Debs computer from this virus. First thing you will notice is a picture in the backgournd of your window that tells you, you need to download Windows2008antivirus program. To support this fictious claim, they have cleaverly shut down the ability for you to change the desktop settings making it appear that you have a blue screen of death only to find out its just the screen saver that kicks in. Very cleaver. Now when you try to change the sceen saver you will notice that the tab has been removed using a windows policy statement. "This person has way too much time on their hands and needs a job in the computer industry" Anyway. Amurge to the rescue. 1. Run any antivirus program you have "its most likely not going to work" but give it a try 2. Download www.alt-networking.com/coin_modules/downloads/dload.php?id=9 Click rhis link and download and run this file 3. Goto www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Line 51 ScreenSaver Disable/Enable or Tab Missing, Click on the Tab Missing option and it should return your properties window back to normal. 4. Enter windows in "Safe Mode" "Hold down the F8 key when the machine it start up, this will give you the option to boot with networking. Choose that option. 5. Clean out all temp files and temorary internet files. look for andy mysterious looking folders int eh C drive that might be hidden. 6. In the windows/system32 folder there might be a screen saver file blphc9b2j0en3g.sav, Delete this file it is the screen saver for blue screen of death making you think that you have computer problems.
