wallpaper change

I need HELP! My wallpaper turns black and changes into an image of a "spiderweb tattooed a**hole"! I've got adaware, spybot, avast and zone alarm running and updated but they don't detect the problem! The pest puts a bmp file in winnt folder that sets as wallpaper. Even if i delete it and the temporary files, the wallpaper changes after a short time!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! HELP!
it's a real mistery...i've been dealing with it for more than a week and i've done
thousands of things, dowloaded anti spyware, anti trojan, new antiviruses, updated
windows, explorer, searched for a solution on the web...but nothing seems to be the
right way...
noone of us has ever heard bout a wallpaper with a man entirely tattoed as a spider,
who shows his spirer web looking a+++hole, with written: SPIDERMAN STRIKES! in red
carachters...
HELP
thanks!

That's okay, don't worry about it.

Give the scanner a little time, sometimes it can be a little slow before it starts scanning, and be sure you tell it yes when it asks to install a bit of software.

Okay, here is one more shot.

Disable system restore and scan with the online antivirus again. Sometimes these little buggers hide in System Restore.
