Virus

[Captain A]

This morning, I boot up my computer (built it myself) and log in..and nothing. All I have is my desktop pic, no toolbar, can't right click the dekstop, nothing.

So I Ctrl+alt+delete and File>NewTask and type in explorer.exe and my toolbar flashes up for a second, then goes away again.

I can get AOL, Winamp, etc. to work, but thats it.

I take it I have a virus, are there any things in my Processes tab I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode and see if the problem remains?

While you're in there, try doing a full system scan with your anti-virus. Also scan for spyware, trojans and malware if you have Ad-Aware SE.

Honestly, I can't figure out how to get this system to boot into safe mode!

Its an Asus P4P800 SE mobo

Edit: I ran Ad-Aware and nothing came out of that.

to boot in safe mode press F8 when you start yur computer till a menu shows up.

I tried that, however it just asks me which thing I would like to boot first
