  Hello MelanieDabel,

  I, too, recommend a clean installation.

  You can see the following article on the subject of compromised systems:

  Cleaning a compromised system
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

  Alternatively, you can also use the Microsoft Windows Defender Beta product offline to create a startup disk that will scan for viruses.  More information on the following links:

• I had the virus 'file system' I ran most of MS who removed it... then the screen turned gray and all the icons and files have disappeared... I can't use restore even in safe mode

  I had the virus 'file system' and ran the Microsoft Essentials who kidnapped... Then the screen turned grat and all my tyop desktop icons disappeared and my files... I tried to use the restore but it wouldn't return back or in SafeMode... also, I get a notice that the Task Manager is disabled? How can I turn back?

  Hi David McGeady.

  ·         You are able to open in safe mode Task Manager?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Scan the file system (CFS) auditor to repair corrupted files.

  Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

  Method 2: It seems that the virus is still there. Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to fix this particular sector. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

  Method 3: Create a new user account.

  If the problem is resolved in a new user account, and then follow the article on how to fix a corrupted user account.

• Programs not responding not / icons disappeared after picking up a virus?

  Hi, I recently got a virus (XP total Security 2011) it seems who performed almost all of my programs, not race, my favorites and desktop icons disappear. I managed via the taskbar options click on the hidden folders option and now they are visible again, but transparent.  If I click on mp3s and Itunes works but practically nothing else.

  Ive checked some forums and tried regedit, but that is not responding.

  I managed to open internet explore without Add ons however if that helps

  all ideas

  Many thanks richard

  Hello RichardBraz,

  You must remove the virus from your computer before we continue to fix the problems with the desktop icons and programs.

  I suggest you try a run the Scanner in safe mode of Microsoft. To access Safe Mode:
  (a) restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
  (b) select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
  You will want to choose "Safe Mode with networking" If you need to connect to the internet or your network.
  (c) when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

  I hope this helps.

• When I right click on the icons to run where it shows the location of the opened file and run as administrator under that it says "start". Got rid of the virus, but cannot get rid of "start".

  When I right click on the icons to run where it shows the location of the opened file and run as administrator under that it says "start". I ran 6 different viruses, malware, rootkit, scans etc. everything looks clean, but 'start' is still there when I right click the executable files. How can I get rid of him? I tried the System File Checker tool, it didn't work. When I click on "Start" it is not now open applications.

  Do not know if it is any help.

  Be careful when you change the registry so... Make sure that you have backups.

• After viruses unknown icon in the Notification area: icon = < Untitled >

  the virus was the removal of ms tool, but it wasn't the real tool. It turns out that it is a rogue software. who posed as a virus protection software. I did a system restore and downloaded the latest version of avg, I did a scan with avg, it did not find anything, which leads me to believe in the restoration of the system worked; However, I have this icon remaining. When you click the icon of tire just my computer. any reflection on what the icon is or how to get rid of?

  I'm not sure how to upload a screenshot of the icon. its white with a Red Cross in the lower right corner, it looks like the disney movie wall-e with one eye. I think that its really supposed to be a projector but I thought that the description of wall-e was a better visual image.

  Thanks for your help and ideas that you can provide

• Virus or not? All the icons disappeared and the programs need to be reinstalled.

  I turned on my computer this morning to find my wallpaper completely changed to the hp one. Also, half of my icons disappeared from my office. Programs that remained must be reinstalled for some reason any. Help, please. I just want to know what happened and make sure that I do not have a virus. Thank you.

  Hello

  There is no way sure of 100% to prevent it from happening again, and we don't really know the cause.
  A glitch like this is sometimes due to an update (Windows, the utility of the Antivirus system manufacturer, or)
  another program) and the cure is just another reboot, as it was this time. Although the actual cause is
  still unknown.

  Good for backups of your data, switch off the machine, and follow these steps.

  Hello

  I recently accidentally acquired a virus on my laptop (VistaAntivirus 2010). I had all of the malware and starting problem files deleted from my computer by Symantec's Norton Internet Security and malware. Now when I click on an icon in my Start menu or desktop it is said: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. " (This only works because the dose of short name not mount in the set Associations control panel) where it says "Choose the program you want to use to open this file" accompanied by a list of the programs and the ability to navigate. (If I choose one that will work temporarily but not next time I click on it.) What can I do to fix this? Any tips? I have Windows Vista Home Edition. Help, please!

• Virus deleted shortcuts and ALL the icons

  I have a virus which has removed all the icons and shortcuts from: 'Office', 'Start Menu' and 'Windows Explorer '. It seems that he has deleted all the hard drive but the files are still on the hard drive. The problem is that I have not ALL icons. I ve got rid of the virus, but now if I want to run a program I have to go on the hard drive and find out where the .exe file is on your hard drive. Do you know how can I restore or create the icons back?

  Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.
