May want to check for spyware.

Spyware/Adware removal tools:

I usually use SpyBot-S&D and Ad-aware. CWShredder is also useful You need to run at least two of these applications to clean up your system. Make sure you get the up-to-date reference files.

how did you put the wall paper as background on your desktop?
Did you simply paste it onto your desktop? If so, just rightclick on your desktop, properties>desktop>then use the browse button, and go to where the picture or the wallpaper you wish to use, press okay...That should put it back correctly, if you pasted it onto your desktop windows will not recognise it after you reboot or shutdown...windows will automatically default to its own original desktop or background wallpaper.
