    Default Explorer disappears on Startup

    I am unable to See Windows Explorer after Start up. I am running windows xp professional with intel core duo t2300 with 1 gb of Ram. It is on my laptop ACER Travelmate 4670. Basically I have no Icons, or start button. Only way to access things is through Task Manager.

    Here is my Hijack Log:
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi shake

    One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan.

    This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

    I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

    Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

    How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

    When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

    We can attempt to clean this machine but i can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards.

    Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

    Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post.
