Title: No virus scans will open and my desktop just shows up as the background picture
Post by: KrazPanda on September 24, 2009, 08:46:53 AM

I have a big problem, can't run any kind of scans. Even HijackThis, nor can I do it safe mode either. My desk top just has the background picture. When I open anything that deals with a virus scanner or such, I get I am not allowed to open this. AVG does open, but won't start a virus scan. The only way I can even run something is going through the task manger. HELP!!

This started after I got home from a camping trip. I went to my daily sites, tried some new one's. But I had the same problem, only I couldn't run jack and I got my computer fixed. I don't know what to do.

You're on a support forum where everyone posts looking for help. Next time a more descriptive title might be useful ;)

Download, burn and run a free boot time AV (Avast, Avira, etc).

Does that help more? Where do I find that?

Sorry, you apparently have one of those systems that shipped without Google.
