When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

"Windows 7 Recovery" attacked my PC and have no idea where it came from. Followed instructions at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-windows-7-recovery and ran unhide.exe

However - Everytime I click on the start menu > all programs
And everything I have installed such as iTunes, Microsoft Word, Windows Live Messenger is empty. Paint has disappeared too.
Every folder is "(empty)".

Thanks for any fix help on remaining issues.
