Possible virus, similar to sysu.exe

When I boot up, my icons and taskbar appear briefly, then disappear. I can access files using the task manager "new task(run)" function, but thats all. I cannot right click either. Rebooting results in the same problem. In researching the problem I came across some people who had a nearly identical problem for which the fix was to end a process named "sysu.exe " but this isnt running on my computer. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Does this happen for all accounts? Have you tried a System Restore? What anti-virus/spyware detection programs are you running?

Haven't yet tried a system restore, would prefer to avoid that obviously. Ive run ad aware, symantec, and spybot. Spybot found Win32.Agent.qt, virtumonde, and Winsoftware.WinAntiVirusPro2006. Thanks again.

Have you checked running processes? Anything suspicious? Check HiJackThis tool to check your processes. Maybe it's not sysu.exe but some other virus similar to it.
