I am trying to restore my desktop, it became blank a
couple days ago. All the icons have disapeared and
the taskbar is still viewable. Also i am trying to figure
out why my event viewer is displaying error reports of
failure/success audits of logging on and off every 20 seconds to 30 minutes
randomly, and failing as a result of bad password/account name for windows
startup.
This is strange becuase these reports happen
continously and i have not even tried to logon at
those reported times. To top it all off i have between
30-40 connections established at any time when i do
netstat in the command bar. I think that is to much
than it should when i have only one internet explorer
browser open? As for the desktop mishap its been like
that for three days now but my sister's desktop is
fine, icons and all that. I have never recognized the
random and spontanous log on attemtpts to either
users on this computer. And for the large amounts of
unknown open connections i have not been aware of
since yesterday when somone told me about the
"netstat" command.
 
1) Download the following four items...

McAfee Stinger
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Trend Sysclean Package
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

Latest Trend Pattern File.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

Adaware SE (free personal version v1.05)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")

Download SYSCLEAN.COM and place it in that directory.
Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt273.zip

Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
SYSCLEAN.COM .

2) Update Adaware with the latest definitions.
3) Disable System Restore
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot]
5) Using Trend Sysclean, Stinger and Adaware, perform a Full Scan of your
platform and clean/delete any infectors/parasites found.
(a few cycles may be needed)
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using the three
utilities; Trend Sysclean, Stinger and Adaware
7) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any System Restore preferences,
(e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
8) Reboot your PC.
9) Create a new Restore point
