Hi
My computer was taken over by some trojan that put about 25 icons on my desktop. I ran ad-aware, spybot.virus and registry mechanic. Cleared all bunch of trojans, but now my desktop does not have any icons, no start bar or task bar. Please help
Thank you

Please download HijackThis http://www.greyknigh.../HijackThis.exe - this program will help us determine if there are any spyware/malware on your computer. Create a folder at C:\HJT and move HijackThis.exe there. Double click on the program to run it.

1. If it gives you an intro screen, just choose 'Do a system scan and save a logfile'.
2. If you don't get the intro screen, just hit Scan and then click on Save log.
3. Post the hijackthis.log file here. Do not fix anything in HijackThis since they may be harmless.

Since you can't run it, try saving this to a CD first. Then boot your computer into Safe Mode with Networking. Run the HijackThis scan and save the log. Post it here.
