Computer Troubles

[Dreamt_in_a_Nightmare]

i was just hoping someone here could help me out with a virus i have on my comp. the explorer.exe (which gives you all your desktop icons and start menu) is gone. i can manually run it through task manager but whatever the virus is deletes it after only a few seconds. i have run many virus checks and nothing has come up. my virus protection as AVG which isn't that great but it works. any help would be greatly appreciated. i may even give a 5000 credit reward. thanks alot


i would just like to add that i am not a computer genius. i know my way around but detailed instructions would be nice.

Re: Computer Troubles

How about trying a tech support forum?

Re: Computer Troubles

i've tried many...no one has been able to help me in 3 weeks. i found plenty of people with the same problem but no way to fix it.

Boot in safe mode and run anti virus?

If nothing helps, just backup your files and format.

How do you boot in safe mode again?
