  • Thanks am doing kasprsky 1st then the other 2 wctions regarding hijack.
  • Have just completed kaspersky. Should I have taken off the Avast anti virus before doing this or was it o.k. to have on the system? It is not showing up anything in the report. It is totally clear. Am going to do the add/remove list now and post it.

  • I too have the same problem which started yesterday.
    When XP boots into my profile, the Desktop icons and task bar stays for 5 secs and then disappears. All i'm left with is the wallpaper. This happens to all profiles and also in Safe Mode.
    Before this occurred, Avast detected a few Trojans and I deleted them as prompted. I then did a full scan on Avast, SpyBot, Adware & Windows Defender and removed all trojans and spyware.

    But its still happening

    After searching through Google, I tried various fixes such as running explore.exe through Task Manager but I get the message that the file cannot be found.
    Any help would be appreciated and I have the Hijack This log below. Thanks

  • Just wondering if I should now do a cleanup as per post 81? Thanks
  • Mr Mister - Please start a new post otherwise this will get very confusing.

    You have a few entries in that list that will require some research.
