Re: No programs open

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



That sounds like you are still infected. Spybot S&D, and Adaware SE are a couple more things to try on it.

btw, for anyone who could actually offer help...the pc works fine in safe mode, I ran another scan in safemode and found nothing. Now when I run it in normal mode the windows xp blue tab bar skin is replaced by the classic grey tab bar skin. And when I click and drag the only window which will open (task manager) the movement is jerky and the cpu usage shifts to 100% within seconds.

Thanks

Hey, I just got home from work to find that kaspersky had completed a scan and found 12 dangerous object and 6 trojans on my computer, so I cleaned them all and restarted my pc...now, for some reason, nothing works...no matter what I click no windows open, the programs come up on the processes list but never actually appear on the screen.

Any ideas what is wrong? (a minute ago the cpu usage shifted too 99% and everything went really really slow)
