After the installation of Antivir, my cousin performed a system scan and has detected some infections. She deleted them and then after reboot, the problem started. desktop items disappeared, taskbar is gone. System restore did not help. The problem is still there after having successfully restored it to previous restore points. Task Manager on other user accounts except on the administrator account are disabled.

I was able to launch explorer.exe through the task manager. By then, desktop items and task manager appears. I tried installing SuperAntiSpyware but a message that says "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" appears. I have checked the registry and gpedit for possible restrictions but I coudn't find any.

Here is my HJT Log.
