Hey all,
For some reason, a trojan horse got through Norton, and although both files are quarantined, I have been unable to get my desktop back to normal. In fact, I can't get anything other than a white screen. Each time I start windows, my "desktop" is all white, and the source code reveals this:

</BODY></HTML>
Now, upon peering into the folder C:\WINDOWS\Web, no desktop file can be found, and Windows' file search also comes up empty. Even choosing a wallpaper from Windows XP folder and selecting "set as background wallpaper" doesn't do anything, except that I can see that image as I shut down/restart the computer.
Any ideas? Please?
