Hi
I have a friends compaq presario 4409CL. It kept getting "BROWSEUI.DLL
not found" & there was no desktop no icons nothing, could not right click on
desktop.

I found Browseui.dll in windows\sysytem32 it was renamed. I renamed and
copied it into system folder, Did the same with shdocvw.dll.

Got Desktop back. But there are too many problems.

I scanned his system and found 9 downloader viruses & trojans.

I used Lavasoft and it found over 300 different registry keys , cookies and
other data miner cookies and malware.

He has 3 CD's
1. Documentation Libray
2. Restore Supplemental Software (productivity Applications)
3. Restore Supplemental Softeware ( Additional Applications)

I have no idea on how to restore this system. I do not know win XP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

You need a Windows XP (Home or Professional) CD to reinstall. You´ll have to
buy it somewhere. Next, you´ll have to decide whether to try and repair this
installation or a do a complete re-install. Browse the newgroups for advice.
