Repairing XP Themes

Hi,

I successfully removed the Antivirus XP 2008 malware program a few hours ago from my Windows XP Professional system (SP2, version 2002). However, I still have a message embedded on my desktop that says "Warning Spyware detected on your computer. Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer." How can I get my Windows XP desktop (theme) restored? Also, when I choose Control Panel>Appearances & Themes>, I have only 3 tabs - "Themes ", "Appearance ", "Settings ", instead of the usual 5 tabs - "Themes ", "Desktop ", "Screen Saver ", "Appearance ", and "Settings ".

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

George

 

If tabs aren't restored I would question whether the cleanup process used was thorough enough but as an experienced user I'm sure this thought must have crossed your mind. So if your sure your clean you might try the additonal steps provided below:
