Ok so today I have a problem. I turned on my computer and I am missing all the icons from my desktop, and the startbar/tool bar deal at the bottom is gone too. Also all the programs that would usually run on startup like AIM don't. WTF???





winxp machine

 

restart.

if that doesn't work, system restore to a previous date.

if that doesn't work, boot to os disk and let it run diagnostics.

if none of the above work, backup what you can... reformat/reinstall.

if you think its a virus i recommend debugging/fdisk/reinstall

 

fixed, ******* spyware, it added an extra explorer.exe into my windows folder. that one would load instead of the real one and just **** **** up.

 

you are in need of.....
