OS: windows xp



I was hit with the latest virus anti virus xp 2008,

got rid of it using adware but, explorer.exe won't launch and cannot be found when i tried to open through task manager.

I can only navigate by pressing control, alt, del to access task manager and that's it. Same symptoms occur when i reboot to safe mode.

here is my log using SmitFraudFix v2.344
