I'm writing this post on my laptop... I turned on my desktop, which i haven't used in about 2 days to see my background all changed and some program running both saying that i have spyware. Basically a bunch of BS. I have kaspersky as an antivirus so i am very pissed that this happened. I couldn't open a lot of programs because it said they were all infected, so i just shut off the computer to prevent further damage/anger. I'm wondering what i should do to clear this up, any ideas? I have a lot of computer experience and have never really had a virus that has done this.

Then you know to boot up in safe mode and try cleaning up as much mess as you can and get a good spyware/adware program and a really good registry cleaner
