Desktop background can't be changed

I can't change my background anymore if i want to acces my background options (, background , desktop icons, etc) this messsage appears: De systeebeheerder heeft het onderdeel Beeldscherinstellingen in het Configuratiescherm uitgeschakelt. Neem contact met de systeembeheerder op. It means something like this; The administrator has the display options in the configuration screen disabled. Contact your administrator.
But there is no administrator, well there is one, me, but nobody else has been able to use my computer..
The option was disabled since last wednesday when i discovered my computer was infected by multiple trojans, god knows how, i got bullguard 8.0 and avg to protect my computer. The background went white with a warning message about a virus infection. I let bullguard run mulitple full scan and he healed/deleted all the infected files. After that the background went blue but there are no infections found by avg nor bullguard...
It probably will be some last portions of the main virus but how to get rid of it???

Hello Wingeddrac0,

You might see if enabling the options in this tutorial will allow your desktop to be able to be changed again.

Hope this helps,

You have some sort of Malware. Try what you want to and then let us know how you made out.

Verifica las politicas locales. Para esto start - run/ o ejecutar - ingresa
gpedit.msc y presionamos enter. Luego nos dirijimos y verifcamos la
configuracion.

Ruta - Configuracion de usuario - plantillas administrativas - escritorio -

Suerte y saludos
