The system has been infected by a rogue program named Windows Recovery
This malware is a fake computer analysis and optimization program that displays fake information in order to scare you into believing that there is an issue with your computer and you need their program to fix it.
  • It will display numerous error messages when you attempt to launch programs or delete files.
  • It will scan your computer, which will then find a variety of errors that it states it cannot fix until you purchase the program. so-called defragment tool.
  • Folder, icons, programs may appear to be missing their content.
  • It may terminate a program you launch stating that "the program or hard drive is corrupted".
  • The messages that you will see when you attempt run a program are:
    [o]Hard Drive Failure
    [o]System or Critical Error
    [o]Closing these messages will then bring 'notice' of Windows Recovery Diagnostics and/or Fix Disk
  • When running it will also display fake alerts from your Windows taskbar of various "Critical Errors" and other fake warnings.
  • . The malware may prevent downloads directly to the infected computer. In that case, programs can be loaded onto a flash drive, then transferred to the problem system to run.
--------------------------------------------
Allows backdoor access and control> The malware also had variant of Backdoor:Win32/Cycbot.



It makes Registry changes to the firewall, the Security Center. It can do or cause:

  2. Data theft (e.g. retrieving passwords or credit card information)
  3. Installation of software, including third-party malware
  4. Downloading or uploading of files on the user's computer
  5. Modification or deletion of files
  6. Keystroke logging
  7. Watching the user's screen
  8. Wasting the computer's storage space
  9. Crashing the computer
Being advised of this, would you rather consider a reformat/reinstall instead of an attempt to clean which may not find or remove all if it's code?
=================================================

While you're considering that, you can go ahead with this: For the missing icons, Programs, files, run the following: This may not fully work as long as the malware remains.

Download Unhide.exe and save to the desktop.
  • Double-click on Unhide.exe icon to run the program.
  • This program will remove the +H, or hidden, attribute from all the files on your hard drives.
Note: This does not remove the malware- only the attribute that hides icons and programs. It is important that you continue.[/b
Note : This does not remove the malware- only the attribute causing the 'missing' problem.

Please let me know whether you choose to reformat and reinstall or whether, knowing the risks, you want to try and clean the system.
