Answer 2

This is not a virus, it's an annoying screensaver and media player. The screensaver can be changed like any other in Display Properties. The media player file associations can be over-ridden by re-installing your favourite media player. It should be easy enough to uninstall from Add/Remove in Safe Mode, as it's processes are running. If that fails you may wish to re-install that program to "fix" it then use it's own un-install program to uninstall it.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Before attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it.

You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Both these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic.

Instal both these web browsers, turn off javascript on one and use that browser for vising unknown websites. They don't support Active X so thats one less way for problems to get on your pc.
