Well, today my computer ran normally, I did a few things etc. Then after I installed Avg on my computer, it said I needed to restart it, so of course I did.

The thing is, when it restarted it was just a blue screen, no icons and no taskbar. The only thing that had showed is my documents. Luckily I did put a virus scanner on there because a few days previously I had deleted my old one. So I managed to access my virus scanner and run it, it deleted everything bad that was found which were a lot of trojans and other things. I restarted it and it is still the same.

I'm pretty positive this is a virus of some sort, maybe a backdoor trojan, I don't know. But I just want to get my taskbar back which has the start menu and all the programs, and of course all my icons.

Any ideas on how to get them back.
I will try and add more info if needed.

Thanks.

Extract and click on the reg file inside. It can be done by any means, like on a floppy, USB drive, or the desktop. It would be easiest if you were able to start explorer.exe in the New Task box of the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc).

Thankyou for the reply

It seems that everything goes back to normal when I start a new task and type explorer.exe

But everytime I restart my computer it doesn't seem to stay there and I have to run it as a new task everytime.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[Elvandil]

Yes. Use the fix I posted.

I assume it worked?
