My computer desktop background is replaced by a warning message about spyware threat, this message says :
Warning ! Spyware threat detected on your PC. Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activity ...
When I click on the image, it redirects me to an anti-virus website to download or buy some anti-virus program, I can't change my desktop background. Can anybody help me ? Thanks in advance.

DO NOT go to that site. Download and run Spybot Search & Destroy. It is a freebie, and will rid your computer of the Adware that has caused your computer to tell you you have spyware. Then run your antivirus scanner for good measure.

I would like to inform you that your homepage and search page has been hijacked by the desktophijack. This is highly dangerous spyware.
Usually it may log keyboard activity of the user and take snapshots of the system. It uses stealth installation and its removal is very difficult.
Its Symptoms:-
Fake message claiming that the computer is infected. Usually displaying a yellow, red or black warning triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. Sample messages are: "System Alert: Spyware Detected", "Your computer is infected - Critical System Error". or "Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activities'
Some versions of Zlob Trojan add these files to the SYSTEM folder: dcomcfg.exe, regperf.exe, simpole.tlb, stdole3.tlb, atmclk.exe, ixt*.dll, vtsqn.dll, ishost.exe, ismon.exe, isnotify.exe, issearch.exe, thiselt.exe, isamonitor.exe, pmsngr.exe.
Homepage may become hijacked to 'about:blank'.
Messages claiming W32.Myzor.FK virus infection.
Its removal is very difficult but if you think then you can manual remove it then you can send me your problem via email at : - jsmith2451@yahoo.ca
Otherwise you can automatic remove it by using the below link. This will give you the Guaranteed Spyware Removal.
