Have you tried just setting your desktop background image to whatever you
originally set it to again (or some other picture...)?

Do the preparatory steps here:

Then do the specific removal steps here:

Smitfraud, Spyaxe, Spyfalcon

You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your
malware here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).

Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no
shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may
be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all
your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

Exactly how did you try?

I think I have a virus.

Why do you think you have a virus? Because you lost the desktop image,
or are there other symptoms? I doubt very much that just losing the
desktop picture would be caused by a virus.
 
Did you find a solution. I have the same issue and can't believe it is so
rare.

PS: You can have a pic by adding one where the 'Home Page' checkbox is by
clicking browse. Also, I can see the original pic when logging on/off for a
second or two.

I am having trouble with my desktop background .The Browse button is greyed
out and I cant set a picture in the background.I have tried so many things to
fix this problem today and cant get it fixed.I know its a spyware but for the
life of me cant get it off!!!! Most of the stuff I have read on removing it
some I have donne and some is just plan to hard to do! Is there a easier way
of getting that fixed? I would welcome any new help at this point!
