No right-click on desktop, no wallpaper, missing icons

Status
Not open for further replies.
I noticed yesterday that when I tried to right-click on my desktop that nothing was happening and my shortcuts etc had disappeared. I rebooted to see if this helped, but this only resulted in my wallpaper being replaced with solid black.

I've been through the advised steps for preliminary removal of malware and this has resolved the issues, but I'd really appreciate it if someone can check over my logs to make sure there isn't anything lurking that might cause the same problem again, or something worse.

During the cleanup process a couple of things showed up which were fixed.
The rootkit scan (AVG) showed no results.
Attached are the log files.
I'm running Vista.

Thanks very much in advance for any help!

Did you install the service pak for Vista? If so, unstall it. I installed it, same thing. Also some strange things? Do you have more than one antivirus program installed?
 
Your logs look clean, but they don't always show everything so let's get a 2nd opinion


Update your Java Runtime Environment
  • Click the following link
    Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 6
  • The 5th option down is the one you want (click Download)
  • Check the box to agree to terms of service
  • Check the box for your operating system and click 'Download selected'at the bottom
  • After the install Go to Start-> Control Panel-> add/remove programs (Programs and features), and uninstall any old versions
  • Navigate to C:\programfiles\Java -> delete any subfolders except the jre1.6.0_06 folder
