Hello,

After logging into Windows XP, I am unable to see my desktop icons. Also the PC is running very slowly . I have tried system restore to an earlier state, but this has not worked. Currently I am using a F4UBCD to run firefox just to post this note. I have downloaded HJT but I am not sure if I will be able to run it. I am able to Ctrl+Alt+Del to go to files, but I think that I cannot run file explorer. Any help that someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. I will post HJT logs shortly, if it will run.

Regards,

elmkd

Hello, elmkd.

 

My name is fbfbfb.  I will gladly assist you with your concerns.

 

While working to resolve the issues with your machine, please follow these guidelines:

  • Please be patient.  Logs are lengthy and can take time to analyze.
  • Read and follow my directions carefully, in the sequence they are posted.
  • If you are unsure about anything, please ask for clarification before continuing.
  • Use only those tools that you have been directed to use.
  • Do not install or uninstall any applications or run any other scans without being directed to do so.
  • Copy and Paste the log files inside your post. Do not send them as attachments unless otherwise instructed.
  • Stay with me until I tell you that your machine is all clean, otherwise, your computer will most likely still be infected.
  • Please reply within 3 days of each posting to avoid closing this topic.  If you need more time to complete tasks, or if you will be away, please let me know in advance.

 

To begin with, please try to download and run the following scans.

 

1.  Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool from HERE, and save it to your desktop.

 

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.
  • Press Scan.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

 

2.  aswMBR

Please download aswMBR from HERE.

  • Double click aswMBR.exe to run it.
  • When asked if you want to download Avast's virus definitions, please select Yes.
  • Click the Scan button to start the scan.

  • On completion of the scan, click save log, save it to your desktop, and post in your next reply.

Missing Desktop Icons

 

Your missing desktop icons could be the result of the Show Desktop Icons feature being turned off.  To restore your desktop icons, try the following:

  • Right-click the desktop.
  • Point to Arrange Icons By.
  • Click Show Desktop Icons.

 

CHECKLIST : In your next reply, please post the following:

  • FRST.txt
  • Addition.txt
  • aswMBR log
  • Let me know if your desktop icons have been restored.
