Hi

For the last few weeks i have been plaugued with continual viruses being found by AVG, constant pop up's & now my taskbar & desktop icons keep disappearing & only return on start up !!

Have used Spybot which constantly finds Virtuemonde which i remove but will return when i reboot...have tried in safe mode - no joy. Have tried a couple of virtuemonde removal tools - no joy. Have also tried Adaware - still no joy

Any ideas as i dont want to reformat if i can help it

Sometimes Malware will hide in System Restore files.
Turn off SR.
Right click My Computer,
then Properties,
then the SR tab.

Then Restart. That will Remove all Restore Point
files. Then clean out the Malware. Then turn SR back on.
