When I booted my computer this morning, the wallpaper had been changed, as had my internet explorer

I keep getting "Security Warnings." So I tried to install Spybot Search and Destroy, but it seems as though it's being blocked. Any advice??

Try running this free online tool from Microsoft.

After you've got the mess cleaned up then install Windows Defender to help keep it from happening again.

Sounds like you have spyware. In my humble experience, the best bet is to back up everything you value. Make sure you have all the serial numbers and disks for your software and OS and start over. most people can get a computer backed up and redone in about a day - far less aggravation than the removal of spyware and/or virii.

Regardless of what you do - back up what you value.
You have been infected by a very bad nastie.

If you can't install Spy Bot, Try Ad-Aware 2007.
