If there are the reboot into Safe Mode and run FixVundo again. If your desktop has changed or icons are missing also use: Wallpaper Hijacker Removal Tool: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Wallpaper_Hijack_Remover_d4816.html Note: You should hit all "Repair" buttons even though it may not say "Found!" This will fix a wallpaper hijack everytime if all repair buttons are pressed. Edit: @Noo A, Spyware Cleaner 2008 is a con. I have just tested it on a clean machine and not surprisingly it found several non-existent Trojans, Adware, Hack, etc! More rogue software! Keep away from it people
