I followed the directions in this thread
http://www.computing.net/answers/se...

Haven't ran hijackthis yet.
Message in task bar disappeared and pop ups stopped. But I can't get my start bar back. Can't get to assesories or get my active desk top back.

I am running SuperAntiSypware again and will run Malware Bytes AntiMalware again and save log files. Also Hijack this.

Any help would be apperciated .

Thanks

Did you disable System Restore first?

OK
It had already disabled my system restore so I could not restore to any date but the day the virus and all hit my system. Which was yesterday.
