Defender pro deleted something....

[frige]

I got a message saying there was some kind of worm in a exe file maybe explorer? I did not write it down  My bad. I let the virus software delete the file and then windows said it was missing a critical file. I put the cd in as prompted and nothing. I rebooted the computer and now it goes to the desktop picture but there are no icons. How do I restore the files without wiping the harddrive? 
Thanks
Reid

Have you tried going into Safe Mode and used System Restore to an earlier
date?
Start - all programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.

Ok started it in sake mode. Comes up as a black screen that says sake mode in the corners. No icons. cant do anything with it.

I have been told to just wait, that sooner or later it will show up. I haven't had this problem myself.

Something different.
When you start your computer and tapping F8 key, the first screen that comes
up has the option to Select - Last known Good Configuration.
Try that.

Nope no dice. It just started back up with the desktop picture again. How can I repair it with my windows cd? I have a lot of stuff on the harddrive and do not want to lose it.

I put my windows cd in and hit the r key to repair. This took me to the repair console. Then it asked which version to start I only have 1 operating system so I chose#1 it then shows C: windows But now what? I cant get it to do anything past this point.

Ok got it back online. I tried to update windows and a warning came up from my defender virus program it says that worm.win32.huhk.c is residing in c. sp2gdr\explorer.exe The windows update failed.

The last time I tried to delete this worm was when my problems started. How do I get rid of it?

I googled it and kerpesky is saying that it is a false positive and ignore it.... Wish I had of known that before I deleted my desktop, 

[Broni]

I deleted my desktop

What did you do?

[frige]

Well first off I really do appreciate the help from yall. I repaired the op system with the instructions on the link you provided. And it is running however it will not let me update windows. Also I cannot load some drivers for the mother board. I guess something did not load right?

Follow patio's link, then. We need to know, your computer is clean.

Ok I finished the scans. I forgot to save the eset log but it did not show anything. Whats next?

Your logs are clean, so it must be something else.
What exactly happens when you try to run Windows updates? Any messages?
