In the Windows 98, Control Panel, Display, Background, Wallpaper (None) I
found that the Pattern for the (None) selection had been set to create
Swastikas when I selected the (None) selection for Wallpaper and (None)
selection for Patterns. The pattern for that selection is not editable, while
all the others are.

I have run every conceivable anti-virus program as well as spyware and
adware programs to try to remove this setting.

Is there a file somewhere that controls the default setting for Background,
Pattern (None)?  I would like to remove this offensive symbol from my
computer.

Thanks for you kind assistance.

Sincerely

Your PC is probably loaded with spyware that is also hogging resources.

There is an excellent article about spyware in PC Magazine:

Their Editor's Choice is Spybot for spyware removal.  It's free.

I don't think so. I ran Pest Patrol and Ad-Aware three times each. They came
back clean. This is not a case of not enough resources. The file has been
changed and I need to know what the name of the file is that contains the
Background (none) Patterns (none) setup.

Give SpyBot a try.  Run it in Advanced Mode and put a check mark next to all
the File Sets boxes.
