Went through all of that, and my issue is still going on.
My Issue:
No explorer bar (where the start button is, where the clock is, etc...). All of my desktop icons are also not there. I need to start programs by Ctrl-Alt-Del, and then File-New Task and browse to find the program (which oddly enough, when I click on the Desktop button, all of my Icons are still there).
And a new issue that may have just happened, or I just discovered. I can't get Internet Explorer to launch at all. I tried to re-download IE, and the install program says that a newer version is already installed, and that the install program is 'now shutting down.'
Gerry told me to post a HJT log after I ran through the malware removal process, which is what I'm doing now.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I'm a Mac guy, and kind of unfamilliar with Windows systems. But, I still do understand computers... somewhat...
Thanks in advance,
Branson
