Good Day Computer Hope Mods!
I'm new and I have a problem with my laptop. It's running Vista Home Premium and I had gotten a virus. The virus makes copies of shorcuts of every file that is not an exe extension. Then it makes the folders and files hidden. I have removed this virus before on my xp system but with vista I can't. I ran Malwarebytes and had 11 infections. One of the files was lsass.exe.
I made the stupid mistake of just clicking next when it warned me it would delete files. I did this before on my xp system and it always worked alright. The system asked for reboot to remove the files and I clicked ok. After it rebooted I get the welcome screen but I have no desktop. There's only a blank blue screen with a mouse pointer.
When I press clt alt delete I get 4 options logoff, switch user, etc. I have tried to reboot in safemode. I get the same blank blue screen. I also have tried the last good configuration 2 times and it still does not load.
I downloaded the otlpe file and have used it on the computer. It loads fine thank God.
I believe that the 11 files malwarebytes quarantined and/or deleted after I restarted caused the problem. How can I repair these files?
I have checked for a restore point and in the repair system options windows said there was no restore points.
Thanks very much in advance for all your help. It is greatly appreciated.
