Hello.
I have a virus on my machine, which is preventing any use of the machine. When I login and the OS loads, I get nothing on the screen except the desktop image -- no icons, no taskbar, nothing else. (There are several, mostly familiar, processes running.)
I think this is a virus because, well, Avira av was telling me I have a trojan infection before the screen went blank. (Spybot would crash whenever I tried to run it.)
I can't download Hijack This to my computer, for obvious reasons. I've promised the friend whose computer I'm writing from that I won't download anything on her computer. Is there a third way?
Thank you very much for your time.
