re install ur windows...it should be ok....

Press CTRL-ESC and it should pop up the start menu.

After you ve removed the virus you could do a "system restore" to an earlier date if your desktop icons and taskbar are still missing.

Good luck

vodka - I assume your above post was made using the "infected" machine, and therefore your able to surf to various sites.

Many virus's disable installed antivirus software, therefore you may need to utilize one of the online scanning programs. Most major antivirus software manufacturers (Norton. McAfee, eTrust, AVP, Panda, Kaspersky, etc.) have FREE online virus scanning of your system.

For info, a few such links are:

Symantec Security Check

Panda Active Scan

eTrust Scan

Kaspersky Labs

McAfee FreeScan

good luck

and as francois said.....

back your stuff up and get rid of winME... win2kpro will run fine on your machine if it runs ME.

take ur PC to nearest shop to backup all important data, mails adresses etc. re-install win ( win2k is good, why not XP ?)

And finally, whats with the nick "vodka"? :-?
