No Icons Taskbar on desktop

FireFox

Another vote here for a reinstall. Maybe plug the HDD into another PC and do a virus scan on it first before backing up your files.

and run the risk of infecting antoher PC, they could use a "Live" OS and scan with that.

Better a scan with a decent Windows VS than a dodgy Linux one!!!

Somehow or other after much mucking around ( hijack this ccleaner, avast, avg) the icons and task bar suddenly appeared.
I have now manged to run antivirus and found 54+ trojans and more malware.

I'm only going to spend a litttle longer on it and then hand it back

I'll try and post a hijack this log, although its a pain without an internet conection

Thanks for all the suggestions so far

Fairwinds

Here is the hijack log - i'm going to post separatly as well - hope thats okay

asininity

Thats a lot of work to do. I'll leave it to Rik but you can get ride of the "no file" entries. An the IEplorer dll .dbt entries look mighty suspicious, I'd personally get rid of all the toolbars but thats cos I dont like them. I might also suggest getting rid of AVG as I'm sure your friend has learned their lesson now.

Oh and the live OS is actually a good idea as whilst the system isn't in use those dodgy linux virus scanners can pick up rootkits that decent windows VS's will miss.

I would recommend downloading, updating, and running a Full Scan using Malware bytes (link) - followed by a download, update and scan with Spybot (link) to be on the safe side.
