• The desktop icons not working not not & programs does not properly

  I got pop ups from Windows Vista, which indicates that 33 files were infected and I could download Vista Security (or something like that).  I have McAfee I chose to leave warnings.  McAfee has run several full virus scans and found none of the 33 listed viruses.  However, none of my icons on my desktop works and I get error messages when I try to open Excel, Quickbooks and I keep having to select a program to open these files.  What should I do?

  If I click on any desktop icon, I am invited to a screen that asks me to "choose the program you want to open this file".  I've recently updated for Internet Explorer 9, but this has been done because by clicking the Internet Explorer icon on my desk gave me the above message.  Basically, what I do to have my computer function normally (i.e. be able to use the icons on the desktop).  Can I have a virus?  McAfee, seems to indicate that I don't have.  All of this started happening when I received a message from Windows Vista stating that I had a virus on my computer.  Initially, I refused to buy the virus scan software because I have already and I thought it was a thing of sale.  Thanks for any info you can give me.  It's very frustrating, especially if I lose my data from office.

• Desktop icons not working-not XP and right click disabled

  Hello

  My computer has been infected by a trojan virus. My antivirus has identified and quarantined it.  As a result, the computer is back on the operation, however: 1 - the office is empty 2 - the mouse right click (or left) on the desktop does not.  3-all the icons disappeared and all the files, personal or other, are still on C:

  What can I do to get a fully operational desktop computer?

  Thank you1

  I don't see where any of these Support Engineer 'expert' who is hired by Microsoft ideas will help you.

  These ideas are just more of their prosecution of wild goose that will just waste your time.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  How did you determine that all the files are still on C:?

  See if you can get to by typing Ctrl-Alt-Del Task Manager.

  Once you open the Task Manager, click the processes tab and see if explorer.exe is running or not.

  If explorer.exe is not running (and must be), you will have the symptoms you describe.

  If explorer.exe does not, in the Task Manager, click file, new task (run)... and in the open air:, enter:

  Explorer.exe

  Click OK and see if your Desktop reappears and notice that explorer.exe is now a running process.

  If so, you do not have 'fixed' your problem yet, but at least you will be able to maneuver if you can fix it.

  We'll see if the 'expert' technical support which is retained by Microsoft engineer can pick up from here.

  Most of the icons on the desktop will not work. Internet Explorer works and all my web programs. Can download programs, but they will not run.

  None of the programs execution function as regedit. I have a list of orders execution and none work. Some things will work in safe mode. Programs are not
