Hey gang,
Old virus, new twist.
Girlfriend was having some spyware issues with her laptop due to limewire and myspace. So I decide to try to play hero and fix it. Downloaded two anti spyware bundles, (didn't know this was a no-no), NoAdware and Antispyware. Ran the scans and went about cleaning up the bad stuff. Re-booted. Neglected to back it up first. Oops. When it restarted the desktop was all wallpaper. No icons, no start menu. CTR/ALT/DEL lets me into most everything, (P.I.A.), but when try to run explorer.exe, it says it's not found. Do a reg search and it's all over, except in the Winlogin folder, which isn't there. Could use some help unless I want to hold her hand everytime she wants to surf the net... That'll land me on the couch for sure.
Thanks.
