I think that a friend of mine had his desktop hijacked by a porn site.
The normal wallpaper is gone and now in its place is an active desktop
wallpaper with a spyware ad that cannot be changed via "Display
Properties". Most of his desktop icons are gone, which only a couple
"Megaporn" ones remaining, which when clicked go to a porn web site.
Right-clicking is disabled as well. How can this be fixed? Please
help!
