Title: Taskbar and icons disappear, trojans detected
Post by: msu715 on January 13, 2009, 05:10:19 PM

Hey, was hoping someone could help me out with this problem.  I log into my computer, everything is normal for about 15 seconds, then my taskbar and my icons disappear, then reappear continually until my computer ultimately freezes after a few minutes...I was able to do a scan using AVG and turned up lots of malware and trojans...I was able to get rid of the malware, but the trojans aren't going away.  AVG reports the Trojan in winlogin.exe if that helps at all  I was wondering what I could do to fix this problem without dropping a lot of money on it. Thanks
