[GeoBaute]

Hi,

I was following your instructions on your website regarding spyware removal. I used Adware and had it delete/rmeove all affected files. I then rebooted and my desktop opened through windows explorer. I do not know how to get my desktop back. All I can see is my wallpaper but no icons or start menu.

Please help as I am getting frustrated with my computer GRRRRR!!!!


FURTHER POSTING:

Small correction...the software I used was Ad Aware. Could somebody please respond to this query or advise if I have posted this query on the incorrect forum? Has Ad Aware affected the computer's ability to display the normal desktop?

Cheers!!

GeoBaute,
Can you open your Ad-aware and click on the settings icon (The Gear) then click on the Tweak option and then under the Cleaning Engine option can you Un-Tick/Un-Check the Delete Quarantine Objects after restoring then click the Proceed button.
Then Click on Open Quarantine List make sure that you Select all and restore them all.
After you have done that I recommend that you close Ad-aware and then reopen it and then click on the settings icon (The Gear) then click on the Tweak option and then under the Cleaning Engine option can you put the
Tick/Check the Delete Quarantine Objects after restoring back in
then click the Proceed button.
Once you have done this can you use the WebUpDate
to get the latest Definition file
(SE1R44.10.05.2005)
To do this Open Ad-aware
Click the WebUpDate
button at the top right hand side of the Ad-aware screen (The world globe).
Click "Connect"
Ad-aware will then download the latest Definition file for you.
To make sure it is updated , look at the main
Ad-aware screen, and look under "Initialization Status"
It should say the Latest Definition file.
then scan doing a "Full Scan" and then post your logfile here by using the Add-Reply Feature .
As Logs are stored in :
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Lavasoft\Ad-aware\Logs\.
An easy way to get there is to
click Start,
click Run
And type in and press ENTER: %appdata%
then click Lavasoft
then Ad-Aware
and then Logs.
scroll down to find the latest one that you have
(by date & time)
and open it right Click select all
copy and then paste the contents of it here.
(Make sure that all of your Logfile has been posted, sometimes it will require two post's to get it all)
I recommend that you use the WebUpDate just before you scan that way you will always be up to date.

(note The Application Data is a hidden folder, so you will need to show hidden files and folders
and for Windows 98*admin users your logs are stored in
C:\WINDOWS\All Users\Application Data\ ) by default

GeoBaute,

please can you clear out your cache folder ie: temporary internet folder There are some free programs that you can use that will do that for you if needed like
CCleaner also
please can you make sure that you still have “Ticks by these :
"Unload recognized processes during scanning",
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
to do this Open Ad-aware SE
Click “settings” (the Gear)
then Click “Tweaks“,
then click “Scanning Engine”
Tick ."Unload recognized processes during scanning"
Then Click “Cleaning Engine”
And Tick
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
then Click “proceed”.
now use the WebUpDate
(to make sure you are upto date) if you want to clean your PC then scan by doing a "Full Scan" then and once the scan has finished
mark and remove the items then Reboot (ie: Re-start your PC)
Then re-scan doing a "Full Scan" and then post your logfile here by using the Add-Reply Feature .

Please NOTE from the AAW SE help file, if you set "Read current settings from system:" under "default settings" in Ad-Aware SE,

Default IE Pages
Default homepage: Ad-Aware SE uses the defined homepage when recovering from a browser hijack

Default Search Engine: Ad-Aware SE uses the defined search engine when recovering from a browser hijack

[GeoBaute]

Thank you for your response.

I completed the above steps. However there was no selection of "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot." Rather the selection was "Let Windows remove files in use at reboot"

I made sure that this was selected.
