Avast Icon Keeps Appearing On Desktop
I had no desktop and task manger was disabled, try starting in safe mode and copy your explorer icon from another computer to get explorer back up oj startup. I'd say if yours has got to that stage then you might want to think about reinstalling windows which is what I did.
Avast Icon Keeps Appearing On Desktop Computer
I lost my disk so I had to get my serial number off in safe mode, then download a windowsxp iso again on another computer (lucky I have a laptop!). I read there are ways to save any data that you want to keep, but by that stage I decided to just wipe it all and start with a fresh install. First thing I did after was purchase Trend Micro Pro, no more free antivirus software for me.Is there anything else I can do to protect my computer, aside from watch ing what I download? Trend Micro is my new firewall and it seems quite comprehensive in terms of antivirus protection. Hey I came across this forum and wanted to say that I had the same issue and laughed at my solution. What happend is my daughter was playing around with the mouse and on windows 7 if you right click on the desktop and go to view you have an option to turn off the desktop icons. For anyone having this issue and if you have already tried the control alt delete approach try right clicking on your desktop and make sure the show desktop icons is selected.
Other then that thanks for all the help and this was a very informative site.Codi.

Go to the tab startup. disable everything. Search msconfig and open it. Go to the tab services. Check 'hide microsoft services'. Uncheck all other services.
