I'm a little freaked at the moment. While waiting for your last reply, my system inadvertantly rebooted and when my desktop re-loaded the virus seemed to be gone. No text residing as my wallpaper any longer and no pop-ups. I am now able to run HJT and have included the log file below. Should I still follow your instructions to load Anti-malware?
